Osukwini nenkathi lapho abaningi bethu befundiswa khona ukunqoba ukucwasa futhi baziphathe ngenhlonipho kubo bonke, imibhalo yezindaba yase-US nemibhalo yesikole evamile isaveza izimpilo zase-US njengokuwukuphela kwezimpilo ezibalulekile. Ukuphahlazeka kwendiza okubulale inqwaba yabantu kubikwa, njengempi, nenqwaba yabantu. Ukuhlanganisa ezimpilweni ezimbalwa zase-US ezilahlekile. Isinqumo somkhuzi wezempi wase-US sokuqhumisa idolobhana ngebhomu esikhundleni sokuphonsa amasosha akhe empini siwukuthi okubonisiwe njengesenzo sokukhanyiselwa. Impi Yombango Yase-US icishe ibe yindawo yonke ibhalwe phansi ezibulala kakhulu kuzo zonke izimpi zase-US, naphezu kweqiniso lokuthi eziningi Izimpi zase-US babulale abantu abaningi - okuhlanganisa abantu base-US ukube abantu basePhilippines bebeyizakhamuzi zase-US phakathi nempi yasePhilippine-American noma iMpi Yezwe II.
Esikhathini lapho ngokuvamile sifundiswa ukuxazulula izinkinga zethu ngaphandle kobudlova, okuhlukile kokubulawa kwabantu abaningi kwempi kusasele. Kodwa izimpi ziya ngokuya zidayiswa, hhayi njengesivikelo esivela ku-Adolf Hitler weNyanga (ikhasimende lezikhali lenyanga edlule), kodwa njengezenzo zobubele nomusa, ukuvimbela ukubulawa kwabantu ngokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu emadolobheni, noma ukuletha usizo lokusiza abantu ngokuqhumisa amadolobha, noma ukuthuthukisa imibuso yentando yeningi ngokuqhumisa amabhomu. amadolobha.
Ngakho-ke, kungani i-United States igcina amasosha okungenani emazweni ayi-175, kanye nezisekelo zamasosha ezinkulu ezicishe zibe yi-1,000 emazweni angaphezu kwama-80 ngaphandle kwe-United States namakoloni ayo? Lona umkhuba ukukhula kwawo kuncike ekucwaseni ngokwebala. Lapho amakoloni asendulo engadingeki ngenjoloba, ithini, nezinye izinto osokhemisi ababengazenza, ngaphandle kukawoyela kwasala, nesifiso sokugcina amasosha eseduze nezimpi ezintsha ezingase zibe khona (indlela ezazithengiswa ngayo kancane kancane) yahlala. Manje njengoba sekusobala kwabaningi bethu ukuthi uwoyela uyokwenza umhlaba ungahlali muntu, ukuthi i-United States ingathola izindiza zayo, imikhumbi, ama-drones, namasosha ayo kunoma iyiphi indawo emhlabeni ngokushesha ngaphandle kwesisekelo esiseduze, nokuthi bonke abantu bayalingana. ekwazi ukudala amatshe esikhumbuzo amahle kangaka kuhulumeni ozibusayo njengesikhangiso somkhankaso, isifunda esixubile, kanye nomshini wokuvota ongaqiniseki, kuyinkolelo yokuthi abantu okungebona abase-US akusho lutho.
Kunenzuzo okufanele yenziwe, futhi umbuso wobushiqela wokuthenga izikhali noma ukuthengisa uwoyela noma ukuxhaphaza abasebenzi. Kukhona inertia yendlela izinto eziyiyo. Kunomfutho ohlanekezelwe wokubusa umhlaba. Kepha uhlelo lokumaketha lweqoqo leziqhingi zomhlaba wonke lufika esidingweni samaphoyisa ukuze kuzuze wona, noma Kholwa kuyabalimaza. Ukuba khona kwesisekelo esisodwa sangaphandle sase-US noma se-NATO esigunyazwe inhlolovo yomphakathi. Izisekelo eziningi ezinjalo zivotelwe phansi yinhlolovo yomphakathi (okubandakanya eyodwa ngoFebhuwari 2019 ngo. Okinawa), akukho nesisodwa esihlonishwe uhulumeni wase-US. Izisekelo eziningi ziyizinhloso zemibhikisho emikhulu engenalo udlame ngisho nangaphambi kokwakhiwa kwayo, futhi iminyaka noma amashumi eminyaka kamuva.
Izisekelo eziningi ziyimiphakathi enamasango kuma-steroid. Izakhamizi zingaphuma, zivakashele izindawo zokuthengisa, ziphuze, ziphahlaze izimoto zazo futhi kwesinye isikhathi izindiza, zenze ubugebengu ngaphandle kokushushiswa kwendawo. Izisekelo zingakhipha ukungcola kanye nobuthi, zenze amanzi okuphuza endawo abulale, futhi zingaphenduli kumuntu esizweni “osizwa” isisekelo. Labo abahlala ngaphandle kwesizinda, ngaphandle uma beqashwe lapho, abakwazi ukungena ukuzovakashela i-Little America eyakhelwe ngaphakathi kwezindonga: izimakethe ezinkulu, izindawo zokudlela ezisheshayo, izikole, izindawo zokuzivocavoca, izibhedlela, izikhungo zokunakekela izingane, izinkundla zegalofu.
Umbuso wezisekelo ungumbuso wezwe elincane kakhulu, kodwa awusewona umhlaba “owawutholakala” njengoba amazwe aseMelika ayengenalutho futhi elindele “ukutholwa” kwaseYurophu. Amadolobhana namapulazi angenakubalwa aqedwe, abantu baxoshwa eziqhingini, lezo ziqhingi zaqhunyiswa ngamabhomu futhi zafakwa ubuthi ukuze kungabi namuntu. Le nqubo ichaza izingxenye ezibalulekile zaseHawaii, eziqhingini zase-Aleutian zase-Alaska, i-Bikini Atoll, i-Enewetak Atoll, i-Lib Island, i-Kwajalein Atoll, i-Ebeye, Vieques, Culebra, Okinawa, Thule, Diego Garcia, nezinye izindawo abantu abaningi e-United States abakaze bezwe ngazo. ISouth Korea ikhiphe inqwaba yabantu abantu kusuka emakhaya abo ukuze benze izisekelo zase-US eminyakeni yamuva nje. I-Pagan Island iyindawo entsha yokubhujiswa.
Ngenkathi ezinye izizwe zomhlaba zihlangene zinezisekelo zamasosha eziyishumi nambili ngaphandle kwemingcele yazo, futhi ngenkathi amazwe acebile emhlabeni eshiya i-United States ngemuva kwezempilo, injabulo, iminyaka yokuphila, imfundo, nezinye izinyathelo zempilo. , i-United States iqhubeka nokwakha nokugcina izisekelo ezengeziwe emhlabeni wonke ngezindleko ezinkulu (ngaphezu kwamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-100 minyaka yonke), futhi isengozini enkulu. Lokhu kube yiqiniso phakathi nawo wonke umongameli wakamuva wase-US. UMongameli uDonald Trump usengathola isizinda esisha esikhulu esiqanjwe ngaye ePoland, nakuba kuse-Asia nase-Afrika lapho kuqhubeka khona ukwakhiwa kwesisekelo esinzima kakhulu.
Izisekelo ziphethe imicibisholo kanye namasosha, futhi izisekelo ezintsha eRomania nakwezinye izindawo zibe nomthelela ingozi enkulu kunayo yonke i-apocalypse yenukliya. Izisekelo zenze, zagqugquzela, futhi zasebenza njengezizathu zokuqeqesha ubuphekula, okuhlanganisa nokuhlasela kwamaphekula okudumile njengalokho kwe-9-11, eqhutshwa ukuphikiswa kwezisekelo zaseSaudi Arabia, namaqembu afana ne-ISIS, ahlelwe emakamu amajele ezisekelweni zase-US e-Iraq. Inhloso ecacile yokusungula nokuqhubeka nezimpi eziningi, kuhlanganise nalezo zase-Afghanistan nase-Iraq, ukusungula izisekelo. Izisekelo nazo zisetshenziswa njengezindawo zokuhlukumeza abantu ngokusobala ngaphandle komthetho wanoma yimuphi umthetho. Lapho Amalungu eCongress esola ukuthi amasosha ase-US angase asuke eSyria noma eSouth Korea ngelinye ilanga, ayashesha ukugcizelela ukuthi abekhona unomphela, nakuba asuke ehlukunyezwa lapho izikhulu ze-White House ziphakamisa ukuthi noma yimaphi amasosha asuka eSyria azofika e-Iraq kuphela. abazokwazi ukuhlasela ngokushesha i-Iran njengoba “idingeka.”
Izindaba ezinhle yilokho ngezinye izikhathi abantu bangavala izisekelo, njengalapho abalimi e Japan ivimbele ukwakhiwa kwesizinda sase-US ngo-1957, noma lapho abantu basePuerto Rico bexosha i-US Navy ngaphandle. Culebra ku-1974, nangemva kwalokho iminyaka yomzamo, koku Vieques ngo-2003. AboMdabu baseMelika baxosha a Canadian basezempi kusukela ezweni labo ngo-2013. Abantu of the Marshall Islands wafinyeza isisekelo sokuqashisa sase-US ngo-1983. Abantu base- Philippines yakhipha zonke izisekelo zase-US ngo-1992 (yize i-US kamuva yabuya). Ikamu lokuthula labesifazane lisize ukukhipha imicibisholo yase-US England ngo-1993. Izisekelo zase-US zisele Midway Island e 1993 futhi Bermuda e 1995. AbaHawaii won back an island in 2003. In 2007 localities in the I-Czech Republic i-referenda egcinwe ehambisana nezilinganiso zombono kazwelonke kanye nemibukiso; ukuphikiswa kwabo kwashukumisela uhulumeni wabo ukuba anqabe ukubamba iqhaza lase-US. I-Saudi Arabia ivalile izisekelo zayo zase-US ku-2003 (kamuva ivuliwe kabusha), njengaye Uzbekistan e 2005, Kyrgyzstan ngo-2009. Ibutho laseMelika lanquma ukuthi lenze umonakalo owanele Johnston / Kalama Atoll ngo-2004. Ngo-2007, uMongameli wase-Ecuador waphendula imfuno yomphakathi, futhi wadalula ubuzenzisi, ngokumemezela ukuthi i-United States izodinga ukusingatha isizinda sase-Ecuadorean noma ivale isisekelo sayo Ecuador.
Kube nokunqoba okuningi okungaphelele. E-Okinawa, lapho isisekelo esisodwa sivinjiwe, esinye siyahlongozwa. Kodwa kwakhiwa umnyakazo obanzi nowomhlaba wonke owabelana ngamasu kanye nokuhlinzeka ngosizo emingceleni. Ngo World BEYOND War sibeka okukhulu gxila ngalo mzamo, futhi isize ekusunguleni umfelandawonye wangaphakathi we-DC obizwa UkuBuyiselwa Kwamazwe Okubambisana Nokubambisana Nokuvalwa, edweba kakhulu umsebenzi kaDavid Vine nencwadi yakhe Isizwe Sesizwe. Siphinde saba yingxenye yokwethula isishoshovu somhlaba wonke ubumbano ukufundisa nokuhlanganisa abantu ukuze kuvalwe izisekelo zamasosha ase-US kanye ne-NATO. Lo mzamo ukhiqize ingqungquthela ku Baltimore, Md., ngoJanuwari 2018, kanye nelinye phakathi Dublin, Ireland, ngo-November 2018.
Ezinye ze angles ukuthola i-traction kanye nokwabelana emhlabeni wonke kuyimvelo. Izisekelo zase-US zinobuthi emanzini aphansi, hhayi nje kuwo wonke umhlaba I-united states, lapho iPentagon ikhona ukufuna ukwenza kube semthethweni imikhuba enjalo, kodwa emhlabeni wonke, lapho kungadingeki kukhathaze. Izizathu zokuthi i-Pentagon ingazihluphi ngokusemthethweni ukucekelwa phansi kwamanye amazwe ekugcineni zincike ekubandlululweni kokugcina okwamukeleka kabanzi esikweni lase-US, okungukuthi ngokumelene nawo wonke amasiko angewona awaseMelika.
Njengoba i-anti-base movement ikhula, kufanele isebenze nezishoshovu eziphikisana noMbuso WaseNtshonalanga ngaphandle kokuphikisa udlame. Ukusabalalisa amakhono we ubushoshovu obungenalo udlame kuzobaluleka. Kufanele futhi ithole ukuthi kusetshenzwa kanjani naleyo ndalo ehlukile yase-USian: libertarianism. Enye indlela kungaba yilena: ukukhuthaza ingcindezi kuTrump ukuthi aqhubeke nokufuna ukuthi amazwe ahlala (noma “ukusingatha”) izisekelo zase-US zikhokhe izimali ezinkulu zale “nkonzo.” Singakwenza lokhu kuyilapho sikhuthaza ohulumeni emhlabeni wonke ukuba baphendule ngenhlonipho “Ungavumeli umnyango ukushaya lapho uphuma.”
Ngesikhathi esifanayo, ngeke silahlekelwe umkhondo wezwe elisha eliyotholakala ngokususa izinsiza kude nokugcinwa kwezisekelo, futhi kude nezimpi ezibiza kakhulu ezizibangelayo. Ngalolu hlobo lwemali, i-United States yayingakwazi guqula kokubili ngokwayo kanye nosizo lwangaphandle lomhlaba wonke.
