Isikhungo “sokuthula” esixhaswe ngemali yinhlangano esizisholo ukuthi sizimele futhi asihlanganyeli sizoba nohlu lwabangeneleli bezempi abashisekayo kanye nabahlabeleli abahlukumezayo engqungqutheleni mayelana “nokudlulisa induku” kuDonald Trump.
I-US Institute of Peace (USIP) eseWashington, DC izosingatha umbuthano, onesihloko esithi “Passing the Baton 2017: Role of America in the World,” January 9 and 10. “Njengoba i-United States ilungiselela ukwethula umongameli wayo wama-45, I-US Institute of Peace izophinde ibambe ingqungquthela yayo ye-Pasing the Baton-ukubuyekezwa, ngesikhathi soguquko phakathi kweziphathimandla, zezinselelo zomhlaba wonke ezibhekene nesizwe sethu, " uthi USIP.
Isungulwe ngo-1984 nguRonald Reagan, i-USIP ithola uxhaso lwayo kuCongress kanye uthi umgomo wayo “ukusiza ukuvimbela nokuxazulula izingxabano ezinodlame phesheya, ezibeka engcupheni e-US kanye nokuvikeleka komhlaba wonke.” Kodwa-ke, uhlu lwabethuli benhlangano luwuchungechunge lwezibalo zoklebe eziqhamuka nhlangothi zombili zepolitiki.
U-Albright, owasebenza njengoNobhala Wezwe ngaphansi kukaBill Clinton, uzo iqhaza engxoxweni emayelana “Nezinto Ezintathu Zokuvikeleka Zikazwelonke Ezibalulekile Zokuphatha Okulandelayo.” Irekhodi lika-Albright lika-hawkish lihlanganisa ukuqondisa Ukungenelela kwezempi yase-US emazweni aseBalkan, futhi ngehlazo watshela "Imizuzu engu-60" ngo-1996 ukuthi izingane eziyingxenye yesigidi wafa ngenxa yezijeziso zase-US ngokumelene ne-Iraq "ziyifanele" intengo.
Oqokwe nguMeluleki Wezokuphepha Kuzwelonke kaTrump, uLieutenant General Michael Flynn osethathe umhlalaphansi, uzobamba iqhaza engxoxweni noMeluleki Wezokuphepha Kuzwelonke wamanje, uSusan Rice, mayelana "nokudlulisa induku." Flynn, owake wacasula tweeted ukuthi "ukwesaba amaSulumane kunengqondo," kuwumphikisi oqinile wesivumelwano senuzi sase-Iran izibopho ezijulile embonini ye-mercenary. Unomlando omude wokuphusha izimpi zonya futhi usekwenzile kubizwe ukuvuselelwa kwamaqhinga eMpi Yomshoshaphansi okulwa ne-“War on Terror.”
I-Rice futhi iletha irekhodi elikhathazayo. Njengenxusa leNhlangano Yezizwe, yena waphikisana ngo-2011 ngo-XNUMX inhlekelele Ukungenelela kwamasosha aseMelika eLibya, futhi endimeni yakhe yamanje, usenakho ingqwele ukwanda kwezimpi ezifihlekile ze-drone ngaphansi kuka-Obama.
UStephen Hadley, ongusihlalo webhodi labaqondisi be-USIP, uzobamba iqhaza kuphaneli emayelana “Nendima YaseMelika Emhlabeni.” Njengesekela Lomeluleki Wezokuphepha Kuzwelonke ngaphansi kukaGeorge W. Bush, u-Hadley okufakiwe ekukhuthazeni izimangalo ezingamanga zokuthi i-Iraq ibifuna ukuthenga i-uranium eNiger—amanga asetshenziselwa ukuthethelela ukuhlasela kwe-Iraq okuholwa yi-US ngo-2003.
UMichèle Flournoy, obekulindeleke ukuthi aqokwe njengonobhala wezokuvikela uma u-Hillary Clinton ephumelele ikolishi lokhetho, uzohlanganyela nethimba noHadley nabanye abethuli. UFlournoy ucele kaningi ukuthi kunyuke impi yase-US ngokumelene ne-ISIS, ukuphikisana sivuna ukwanda kwamasosha ase-US eSyria nase-Iraq.
Abanye abethuli bahlanganisa uSen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), osezakhele igama lesizwe ngokuqhakambisa imigomo yezempi, okuhlanganisa nemizamo ephindaphindiwe yokubukela phansi isivumelwano se-Iran. UCotton ucele ukuthi kwandiswe ukuhlukunyezwa ejele lezempi laseGuantánamo Bay laseMelika, ukutshela Ukulalelwa kwekomidi leSenate Armed Services Committee lango-2015: “Inkinga kuphela nge-Guantánamo Bay ukuthi kunemibhede eminingi engenalutho ezitokisini khona manje. Kufanele sithumele amaphekula amaningi lapho ukuze aphinde aphenywe ukuze kugcinwe leli zwe liphephile. Ngokubona kwami, zonke ezokugcina zingabolela esihogweni. Kodwa inqobo nje uma bengakwenzi lokho, bangabolela eGuantánamo Bay.”
Lolu hlelo luphinde lukhangise “Ingxoxo noSenator uLindsey Graham (RS.C.)” kanye nokwethulwa nguJenene OseMhlalaphansi uJack Keane, ongusihlalo weSikhungo Sokufunda Ngempi.
Ukwamukela kwe-USIP izikhulu ezisekela impi, osopolitiki kanye nosolwazi akuyona into entsha. USarah Diamond noRichard Hatch baphawule kumagazini i-Z esihlokweni eyanyatheliswa ngo-2007, “Umqondo wesikhungo sokuthula kuzwelonke wawusunesikhathi eside usungulwa futhi wamukelwa inqwaba yabagqugquzeli bokuthula. Kodwa ngesikhathi i-USIP isungulwa ngokusemthethweni ngo-1984, ibhodi layo lalibukeka sengathi 'ngubani' wemibono ephiko kwesokudla evela ezifundweni nasePentagon.”
UPhyllis Bennis, uzakwabo omkhulu kanye nomqondisi weNew Internationalism Project eSikhungweni Sezifundo Zenqubomgomo, utshele i-AlterNet ukuthi "i-US ibilokhu isempini kusukela kwasungulwa i-USIP, eyasungulwa ngesikhathi seMpi Yomshoshaphansi. Umuntu angacabanga ukuthi umsebenzi wakhe ukuletha amazwi ahlukene kunabantu abaqhuba izimpi.”
"Ingxenye yokuthi lolu hlelo lubukeka kanjani umzamo wokwenza i-ajenda kaTrump ibe yejwayelekile kanye nokubeka i-USIP njengedlala indima ejwayelekile phakathi kokuphatha okujwayelekile," kuqhubeka uBennis. “Lokhu kuthumela umyalezo ku-White House, 'Silapha, sengathi yonke into ijwayelekile, sengathi akukho okushintshile, futhi sizoqhubeka nokwenza umsebenzi wethu, singenisa abantu abadala abafanayo.' Lokhu bakwenza ngesikhathi lapho ushintsho ludingeka kakhulu. ”
