U-Eisenhower's Ghost Haunts Ithimba Lezinqubomgomo Zangaphandle

NguNicolas JS Davies, Disemba 2, 2020

Emazwini akhe okuqala njengoba uJoe Biden oqokwe njengoNobhala Wezwe, u-Antony Blinken uthe, "kufanele siqhubeke nezinyathelo ezilinganayo zokuthobeka nokuzethemba." Abaningi emhlabeni jikelele bazosamukela lesi sithembiso sokuthobeka esivela kubaphathi abasha, futhi abantu baseMelika kufanele nabo.

Ithimba lenqubomgomo yezangaphandle likaBiden nalo lizodinga uhlobo olukhethekile lokuzethemba ukuze libhekane nenselelo enkulu kakhulu elibhekene nayo. Lokho ngeke kube usongo oluvela ezweni langaphandle elinobutha, kodwa amandla okulawula nawonakele e-Military-Industrial Complex, uMongameli u-Eisenhower axwayisa ngayo ogogo nomkhulu bethu eminyakeni engama-60 edlule, kodwa “ithonya labo elingenasizathu” eliye lakhula kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, njengo-Eisenhower. waxwayisa, naphezu kwesixwayiso sakhe.

Ubhubhane lweCovid luyinkomba edabukisayo yokuthi kungani abaholi abasha baseMelika kufanele balalele ngokuzithoba omakhelwane bethu emhlabeni wonke esikhundleni sokuzama ukuphinda baqinisekise “ubuholi” baseMelika. Ngenkathi i-United States ibeka engcupheni igciwane elibulalayo ukuze kuvikelwe izintshisekelo zezezimali zebhizinisi, ishiya abantu baseMelika kulo bhubhane kanye nemiphumela yaso yezomnotho, amanye amazwe abeka impilo yabantu bawo kuqala futhi aqukethe, alawula noma aliqeda leli gciwane.

Abaningi balabo bantu sebebuyele ekuphileni impilo evamile, enempilo. U-Biden no-Blinken kufanele balalele ngokuzithoba abaholi babo futhi bafunde kubo, esikhundleni sokuqhubeka nokuthuthukisa imodeli ye-neoliberal yase-US esehlula kakhulu.

Njengoba imizamo yokuthuthukisa imithi yokugoma ephephile nesebenzayo iqala ukuthela izithelo, iMelika iphindeka kabili emaphutheni ayo, ithembele ku-Big Pharma ukuthi ikhiqize imigomo ebizayo, enenzuzo ngesisekelo se-America First, njengoba iChina, iRussia, uhlelo lwe-WHO lweCovax nabanye benza. kakade isiqala ukuhlinzeka ngemithi yokugoma ebiza kancane nomaphi lapho idingeka khona emhlabeni jikelele.

Imithi yokugoma yamaShayina isivele isetshenziswa e-Indonesia, eMalaysia nase-UAE, kanti iChina iboleka amazwe ampofu angakwazi ukuyikhokhela kusengaphambili. Engqungqutheleni yakamuva ye-G20, uShansela waseJalimane u-Angela Merkel uxwayise ozakwabo baseNtshonalanga ukuthi bayasithwa yizingxoxo zokugomela zaseChina.

Izwe laseRussia linemiyalo evela emazweni angama-50 ngemithamo eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyi-1.2 yomuthi wokugomela iSputnik V. UMongameli uPutin utshele i-G20 ukuthi imigomo kufanele ibe “impahla yomphakathi ejwayelekile,” itholakale emhlabeni wonke emazweni acebile nampofu ngokufanayo, nokuthi iRussia izobahlinzeka noma kuphi lapho idingeka khona.

Umuthi wokugomela i-Oxford University-AstraZeneca yase-UK kanye neSweden ingenye ibhizinisi elingenzi nzuzo elizobiza cishe u-$3 umthamo ngamunye, ingxenye encane yemikhiqizo yase-US ye-Pfizer ne-Moderna.

Kusukela ekuqaleni kwalolu bhubhane, bekubikezelwa ukuthi ukwehluleka kwe-US kanye nempumelelo yamanye amazwe kuzobumba kabusha ubuholi bomhlaba. Lapho ekugcineni umhlaba usululama kulolu bhubhane, abantu emhlabeni wonke bazobonga iChina, iRussia, iCuba namanye amazwe ngokusindisa izimpilo zabo nokubasiza ngesikhathi sabo sokudinga.

Abaphathi beBiden kumele futhi basize omakhelwane bethu ukuthi banqobe lo bhubhane, futhi kumele lenze kangcono kunoTrump kanye nenkampani yakhe yezinkampani ngaleyo ndlela, kodwa sekwephuze kakhulu ukukhuluma ngobuholi baseMelika kulo mongo.

Izimpande ze-Neoliberal Zokuziphatha Okubi kwase-US

Amashumi eminyaka okuziphatha okubi kwe-US kwezinye izindawo sekuholele ekwehleni okubanzi kobuholi bomhlaba baseMelika. Ukwenqaba kwe-US ukujoyina i-Kyoto Protocol nanoma yisiphi isivumelwano esibophezelayo mayelana nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu kuholele enkingeni ekhona ebingagwemeka yalo lonke uhlanga lwesintu, njengoba i-United States isakhiqiza amanani arekhodiwe kawoyela negesi yemvelo. Umbusi wesimo sezulu saseBiden uJohn Kerry manje uthi isivumelwano axoxisane ngaso eParis njengoNobhala Wezwe “asenele,” kodwa nguyena yedwa no-Obama okufanele asolwe ngalokho.

Umgomo ka-Obama kwakuwukukhuphula igesi yemvelo eqhekekile “njengephethiloli yebhuloho” ezikhungweni zikagesi zase-US, kanye nokuqeda noma yikuphi ukwenzeka kwesivumelwano sezulu esibophezelayo e-Copenhagen noma eParis. Inqubomgomo yesimo sezulu yase-US, njengempendulo yase-US ku-Covid, iwukuyekethisa okunenkohlakalo phakathi kwesayensi kanye nezithakazelo zezinkampani ezizisebenzelayo okubonakale kungenasixazululo nhlobo. Uma uBiden noKerry beletha olwengeziwe lolo hlobo lobuholi baseMelika engqungqutheleni yesimo sezulu yaseGlasgow ngo-2021, isintu kumele sikwenqabe njengendaba yokusinda.

I-America yangemva kwe-9/11 "Impi Yomhlaba Wonke Yobuphekula," ngokunembe "impi yomhlaba wonke yobushokobezi," ibhebhethekise impi, izinxushunxushu kanye nobuphekula emhlabeni wonke. Umbono okungenangqondo wokuthi udlame lwamasosha ase-US olusabalele bungaqeda ubuphekula ngokushesha waphenduka izaba eziphikisayo zezimpi “zokushintsha kombuso” ngokumelene nanoma yiliphi izwe elimelana nemithetho yombuso ye-wannabe “superpower”.

UNobhala Wezwe u-Colin Powell wabiza ozakwabo ngasese ngokuthi "abahlanya," njengoba aqamba amanga kuMkhandlu Wezokuphepha we-UN kanye nomhlaba wonke ukuze baqhubekisele phambili izinhlelo zabo zobudlova obungekho emthethweni be-Iraq. Iqhaza elibalulekile likaJoe Biden njengoSihlalo weKomidi leSenethi Lezobudlelwano Nezangaphandle bekuwukuhlela ukulalelwa kwecala eliqhakambisa amanga abo futhi lingabandakanyi amazwi aphikisayo abengabaphonsela inselelo.

Udlame olwenzekile selubulale izigidi zabantu, kusukela ekufeni kwamasosha aseMelika ayizi-7,037 kuya ekubulaweni okuhlanu kososayensi base-Iran (ngaphansi kuka-Obama kanye noTrump manje). Iningi lezisulu kube yizakhamuzi ezingenacala noma abantu abazama ukuzivikela bona, imindeni yabo noma amazwe abo kubahlaseli bangaphandle, amaqembu okufa aqeqeshwe yi-US noma amaphekula angempela asekelwa i-CIA.

Owayengumshushisi waseNuremberg uBen Ferencz utshele i-NPR kuphela isonto ngemuva kwamacala angoSepthemba 11, "Akusoze kwaba semthethweni ukujezisa abantu abangenacala ngokwenza okubi. Kumele senze umehluko phakathi kokujezisa abanecala nokujezisa abanye.” I-Afghanistan, i-Iraq, iSomalia, iPakistan, iPalestine, iLibya, iSyria noma iYemen ayinacala ngamacala angoSepthemba 11, kanti nokho i-US kanye namabutho ahlomile ahlangene agcwalise amamayela ngamamayela emathuneni ngezidumbu zabantu bakhona abangenacala.

Njengobhubhane lwe-Covid kanye nenkinga yesimo sezulu, ukwesabeka okungenakucatshangwa "kwempi yobushokobezi" kungenye indaba eyinhlekelele yokwenziwa kwenqubomgomo yase-US okuholela ekulahlekelweni okukhulu kwempilo. Izithakazelo ezinikezwayo ezilawula futhi ezihlanekezela inqubomgomo yase-US, ikakhulukazi i-Military-Industrial Complex enamandla kakhulu, yawabeka eceleni amaqiniso aphazamisayo ukuthi alikho kulawa mazwe ahlasele noma esabisa ngokuhlasela i-United States, nokuthi ukuhlasela kwe-US kanye nezinhlangano ezihlangene kuwo kwephula umthetho. izimiso eziyisisekelo kakhulu zomthetho wamazwe ngamazwe.

Uma uBiden nethimba lakhe befisa ngempela ukuthi i-United States ibambe iqhaza eliphambili nelakhayo emhlabeni, kumele bathole indlela yokuvula leli khasi kulesi siqephu esibi emlandweni osuvele unegazi wenqubomgomo yezangaphandle yaseMelika. UMat Duss, umeluleki kaSenator Bernie Sanders, ucele ikhomishini esemthethweni ukuthi iphenye ukuthi abenzi bezinqubomgomo baseMelika baphule ngamabomu futhi bawubukela phansi kanjani “imithetho esekelwe emithethweni yamazwe ngamazwe” ugogo nomkhulu wabo abayakhe ngokucophelela nangobuhlakani ngemva kwezimpi ezimbili zomhlaba ezabulala. abantu abayizigidi eziyikhulu.

Abanye babonile ukuthi ikhambi elihlinzekwe yilo myalelo osuselwe emithethweni kuzoba ukushushisa izikhulu eziphezulu zaseMelika. Lokho kungafaka phakathi uBiden kanye neqembu lakhe. U-Ben Ferencz uye waphawula ukuthi icala lase-US lempi “yokuqala” liyimpikiswano efanayo naleyo abamangalelwa baseJalimane ababeyisebenzisa ukuze bathethelele amacala abo obudlova eNuremberg.

“Leyo mpikiswano yacatshangelwa amajaji amathathu aseMelika eNuremberg,” kuchaza uFerencz, “abe esegweba u-Ohlendorf nabanye abayishumi nambili intambo ngokulengiswa. Ngakho-ke kuyadumaza kakhulu ukuthola ukuthi uhulumeni wami namuhla uzimisele ukwenza okuthile esilengise amaJalimane njengezigebengu zempi.”

Isikhathi Sokuphula Isiphambano Sensimbi

Enye inkinga ebucayi ebhekene neqembu leBiden ukuwohloka kobudlelwano baseMelika neChina neRussia. Amabutho womabili la mazwe avikela ngokuyinhloko, ngakho-ke abiza ingxenye encane yalokho okuchithwa yi-US emshinini wayo wempi yomhlaba wonke - 9% esimweni saseRussia, kanye ne-36% yaseChina. I-Russia, kuwo wonke amazwe, inezizathu ezizwakalayo zomlando zokugcina izivikelo eziqinile, futhi yenza kanjalo ngezindleko eziphansi kakhulu.

Njengoba uMongameli wangaphambili uCarter ekhumbuza uTrump, iChina ibingakaze ibe sempini selokhu kwaba nempi emfushane yasemngceleni neVietnam ngo-1979, futhi esikhundleni salokho igxile ekuthuthukisweni komnotho futhi yakhipha abantu abayizigidi ezingama-800 ebuphofini, kanti i-US ibisaphaza ingcebo yayo ekulahlekeni kwayo. izimpi. Kuyamangaza yini ukuthi umnotho waseShayina usunempilo futhi uguquguquka kakhulu kunowethu?

Ukuze i-United States isole iRussia neChina ngokusetshenziswa kwezempi kweMelika ngendlela engakaze ibonwe kanye nempi yomhlaba wonke kuwukuguqulwa okungagculiseki kwembangela nomphumela - okuwumbudane nokungabi nabulungiswa njengokusebenzisa ubugebengu bangoSepthemba 11 njengezaba zokuhlasela amazwe nokubulala abantu. ababengahlangene ngalutho nobugebengu obenziwa.

Kanjalo nalapha, ithimba lika-Biden libhekene nokukhetha okuqinile phakathi kwenqubomgomo esekelwe eqinisweni elihlosiwe kanye nenkohliso eqhutshwa ukuthunjwa kwenqubomgomo yase-US ngezithakazelo zenkohlakalo, kulokhu elinamandla kunawo wonke, I-Military-Industrial Complex ka-Eisenhower. Izikhulu ze-Biden zichithe imisebenzi yazo ehholo lezibuko neminyango ejikelezayo ehlanganisa futhi edida ukuzivikela nebutho elikhohlakele, elizisebenzelayo, kodwa ikusasa lethu manje lincike ekusindiseni izwe lethu kulokho kusebenzelana nodeveli.

Njengoba isisho sisho, okuwukuphela kwethuluzi i-US etshale kulo isando, ngakho yonke inkinga ibukeka njengesipikili. Impendulo yase-US kuyo yonke ingxabano nelinye izwe iwuhlelo olusha olubizayo lwezikhali, okunye ukungenelela kwamasosha ase-US, ukuketula umbuso, ukusebenza okuyimfihlo, impi yommeleli, unswinyo oluqinile noma olunye uhlobo lokuphoqelela, konke okusekelwe emandleni okuthiwa yi-US. ukuphoqelela intando yayo kwamanye amazwe, kodwa konke kuya ngokuya kungasebenzi, kucekela phansi futhi kungenzeki ukuhlehliswa uma sekwenziwe.

Lokhu kuye kwaholela empini engapheli e-Afghanistan nase-Iraq; ishiye iHaiti, iHonduras kanye ne-Ukraine ingasebenzi kahle futhi igcwele ubumpofu ngenxa yokuketula umbuso okusekelwa yi-US; ibhubhise iLibya, iSyria kanye neYemen ngezimpi ezicashile nezizimele kanye nomphumela wezinkinga zobuntu; kanye nezijeziso zase-US ezithinta ingxenye yesithathu yabantu.

Ngakho-ke umbuzo wokuqala womhlangano wokuqala wethimba lenqubomgomo yezangaphandle yakwaBiden kufanele ube ukuthi ngabe bangakwazi yini ukwehlukanisa ukwethembeka kwabo kubakhiqizi bezikhali, amathangi okucwaninga axhaswe yinkampani, amafemu anxenxayo kanye nabeluleki, osonkontileka bakahulumeni nezinkampani abazisebenzele noma ababambisene nazo ngesikhathi sabo. imisebenzi.

Lokhu kungqubuzana kwentshisekelo kufana nokugula okuyimbangela yezinkinga ezinkulu kakhulu ezibhekene neMelika nomhlaba, futhi ngeke zixazululwe ngaphandle kwekhefu elihlanzekile. Noma yiliphi ilungu leqembu likaBiden elingakwazi ukuzibophezela futhi okusho ukuthi kufanele lisule manje, ngaphambi kokuthi lonakale.

Esikhathini eside ngaphambi kwenkulumo yakhe yokumvalelisa ngo-1961, uMongameli u-Eisenhower wenza enye inkulumo, ephendula ukufa kukaJoseph Stalin ngo-1953. Wathi, “Zonke izibhamu ezenziwayo, yonke imikhumbi yempi ekhishwayo, wonke amarokhethi adubulayo asho, ekugcineni, ukweba. kulabo abalambayo nabangondliwa, labo ababandayo nabangagqokile…Le akuyona nhlobo indlela yokuphila, nganoma yimuphi umqondo weqiniso. Ngaphansi kwefu lempi esongelayo, isintu silenga esiphambanweni sensimbi.”

Ngonyaka wakhe wokuqala ehhovisi, u-Eisenhower waqeda iMpi YaseKorea futhi wanciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwezempi ngama-39% kusukela ekuphakameni kwayo kwesikhathi sempi. Khona-ke wamelana nokucindezela kokuba ayiphakamise futhi, naphezu kokwehluleka kwakhe ukuqeda iMpi Yomshoshaphansi.
Namuhla, i-Military-Industrial Complex ithembele ekubuyeleni eMpini Yomshoshaphansi ngokumelene neRussia neChina njengokhiye wamandla ayo azayo kanye nenzuzo, ukusigcina silenga kulesi siphambano esidala sensimbi, sichitha ingcebo yaseMelika ngezikhali zama-trillion-dollar. izinhlelo njengoba abantu belamba, izigidi zabantu baseMelika abanazo ukunakekelwa kwezempilo futhi isimo sethu sezulu sishintshashintsha.

Ingabe uJoe Biden, uTony Blinken kanye noJake Sullivan bawuhlobo lwabaholi abamane bathi “Cha” eNkundleni Yezempi Yezimboni futhi bathumele lesi siphambano sensimbi endaweni engafanele yomlando, lapho singesakho? Sizothola maduze nje.
