IFrance neFreying yeNATO

UBiden uthukuthelise iFrance ngokuhlela isivumelwano sokuhlinzeka ngemikhumbi-ngwenya esebenzisa amandla enuzi e-Australia. Lokhu kungena esikhundleni senkontileka yokuthenga iqembu lezinsizakusebenza ezinamandla esebenzisa udizili eFrance. I-Australia kuzofanele ikhokhe izinhlawulo ngokwephula isivumelwano kodwa onxiwankulu baseFrance bazolahlekelwa cishe ama-dollar ayizigidi ezingama-70. Ukwenza okuhle kokubili kweCanberra neWashington kudale ukuthi iParis iqhathanise uBiden noTrump. I-UK ingumlingani wesithathu esivumelwaneni ngakho-ke lindela ukuthi ubudlelwano obungemva kukaBrexit Franco-Britain buzoqhubeka ngokuwohloka. Konke lokhu kuhle, ngombono wami!

Futhi kuyinto enhle ukuthi ukuhoxiswa kukaBiden ngamasosha ase-US e-Afghanistan akuhlelwanga kahle “nabalingani” abasasele njengaseBrithani, eFrance naseJalimane, okwaveza ukugxekwa okuthukuthele. Kuyajabulisa ukuthi undunankulu waseBrithani uphakamise iFrance “Ukubambisana Kwabazimisele” ukuqhubeka nempi e-Afghanistan kulandela ukuhoxa kwe-US-futhi okungcono ukuthi ibifile emanzini. (Mhlawumbe amaFulentshi angcono kunamaBrits akhumbula iSuez Crisis yango-1956, umzamo oyinhlekelele ohlangene wama-Anglo-French-Israel wokuphinda anikeze amandla ukulawula ama-imperialist phezu komsele. Akugcinanga nje ngokuntula ukubamba iqhaza kwe-US; u-Eisenhower wayivala ngqondo ngemuva kokuxwayiswa ngabaseGibhithe Abeluleki baseSoviet.) Kuhle ukuthi la mazwe amathathu alalele umyalo wase-US wokugcina isethembiso sabo se-NATO sokuma ne-US lapho behlaselwa; ukuthi balahlekelwa amasosha angaphezu kuka-600 ngomzamo ongabanga namphumela; nokuthi ekugcineni i-US ayibonanga kufanelekile ukuthi ibabandakanye nasezinhlelweni zokugcina. Kuhle ukuphaphama ngeqiniso lokuthi ama-imperialists ase-US angakhathaleli okufakwayo noma izimpilo zabo, kepha afune ukulalelwa nokuzidela kwabo kuphela.

Kuyamangalisa ukuthi iJalimane, naphezu kokuphikisa okunengekayo kwe-US, igcine ukuzibandakanya kwayo kuphrojekthi yepayipi yemvelo yeNordstream II kanye neRussia. Iziphathimandla ezintathu zokugcina zase-US ziphikisana nepayipi, zithi zenze buthakathaka umfelandawonye weNATO futhi zisiza iRussia (futhi inxenxa ukuthengwa kwemithombo yamandla ebiza kakhulu yase-US esikhundleni salokho-ukuqinisa ukuphepha ngokuhlanganyela, awuboni). Izimpikiswano zeCold War ziwele ezindlebeni ezingezwa. Leli payipi laqedwa ngenyanga edlule. Ilungele ukuhwebelana kwamahhala komhlaba wonke kanye nobukhosi bezwe, nokushaya okukhulu kwe-Europe ku-hegemony yase-US.

Kuhle ukuthi uTrump ngo-Agasti 2019 wakhulisa ithemba elihlekisayo lokuthenga iGreenland eDenmark, engenandaba nokuthi iGreenland iyinhlangano ezilawulayo, ngaphakathi koMbuso waseDenmark. (Kungu-90% wama-Inuit, futhi aholwa amaqembu ezepolitiki afuna inkululeko ethe xaxa. Kuyamangalisa ukuthi lapho undunankulu waseDenmark ngobumnene, enamahlaya amahle, enqaba isiphakamiso sakhe sokungazi, esithukayo nesicwasa ngokwebala, waqhuma ngolaka futhi wakusula ukuhambela kwakhe kombuso. kufaka phakathi isidlo sakusihlwa nendlovukazi. Akonanga umbuso waseDenmark kuphela kepha nemibono edumile kulo lonke elaseYurophu ngokuzidla kwakhe nokuzikhukhumeza kwakhe. Kuhle kakhulu.

UTrump uqobo, uthuke ngokungadingekile uNdunankulu waseCanada kanye neShansela laseJalimane ngolimi olufanayo lobuntwana abelusebenzisa kubaphikisi bezepolitiki. Uphakamise imibuzo ezingqondweni zabaseYurophu nabaseCanada mayelana nokubaluleka kokubambisana nobubi obunjalo. Lokho kwaba umnikelo omkhulu emlandweni.

Kuhle futhi ukuthi, eLibya ngo-2011, uHillary Clinton esebenzisana nabaholi baseFrance nabaseBrithani bathole imvume ye-UN yokuthunywa kweNATO ukuvikela abantu baseLibya. Futhi lokho, ngenkathi umkhankaso oholwa yi-US weqa isinqumo se-UN futhi walwa impi ephelele yokugudluza umholi waseLibya, ethukuthelise iChina neRussia eyabiza lawo manga, ezinye izizwe ze-NATO zenqaba ukubamba iqhaza noma zabuyela emuva ngokunengeka. Enye impi yama-impiriyali yaseMelika esekwe emangeni adala isiyaluyalu nezikhukhula eYurophu ngababaleki. Kwakukuhle kuphela ekutheni kwaphinde kwaveza ukuwohloka kokuziphatha okuphelele kwe-USA manje okuhlangene kakhulu nezithombe zika-Abu Ghraib, uBagram noGuantanamo. Konke egameni le-NATO.

Eminyakeni engamashumi amabili edlule, iSoviet Union kanye "nosongo lwamakhomanisi" behlisa izinkumbulo, i-US ikhulise ngokuhlelekile lo mfelandawonye wangemva kwempi owalwa namaSoviet, owamelana nobukhomanisi obizwa ngeNATO ukuzungeza iRussia. Noma imuphi umuntu ongenabandlululo obuka ebalazweni angakuqonda ukukhathazeka kweRussia. I-Russia isebenzisa cishe ingxenye yesihlanu yalokho okusetshenziswa yi-US neNATO ezindlekweni zempi. I-Russia ayiyona ingozi yezempi eYurophu noma eNyakatho Melika. Ngakho-ke-abaseRussia bebelokhu bebuza kusukela ngo-1999, lapho uBill Clinton ephula isithembiso salowo owayengaphambi kwakhe eGorbachev futhi eqala kabusha ukunwetshwa kwe-NATO ngokungeza iPoland, iHungary neCzechoslovakia — kungani uqhubeka uzama ukusebenzisa imali ukuze usizungeze?

Khonamanjalo bayanda abantu baseYurophu ababungabazayo ubuholi baseMelika. Lokho kusho ukungabaza injongo nenani le-NATO. Yakhelwe ukubhekana nokuhlasela okucatshangelwayo kweSoviet kweYurophu “esentshonalanga”, ayikaze isetshenziswe empini phakathi neMpi Yomshoshaphansi. Impi yayo yokuqala kwaba yimpi kaClintons neSerbia ngo-1999. Le mpi, eyahlukanisa izwe lomlando waseSerbia kusuka eSerbia ukudala umbuso omusha (ongasebenzi) waseKosovo, selokhu yanqatshwa yilabo ababambe iqhaza eSpain naseGrisi abaqaphela ukuthi i-UN Isixazululo esigunyaza umkhankaso “wokusiza” eSerbia sisho ngokusobala ukuthi umbuso waseSerbia awuhlukani. Okwamanje (ngemuva kokusayinwa kwesivumelwano mbumbulu "seRambouillet") ungqongqoshe wezangaphandle waseFrance wakhononda ngokuthi i-US yayisebenza njenge-hyper-pouissance ("hyperpower" ngokungafani namandla amakhulu nje).

Ikusasa le-NATO lilele e-US, Germany, France nase-UK. Abathathu bokugcina babengamalungu amade e-EU, okwathi ngenkathi iqembu eliphikisayo lokuhweba lalihlanganisa izinqubomgomo ne-NATO. I-NATO igqagqene ne-EU kangangokuthi cishe wonke amazwe angeniswe embusweni wamasosha kusukela ngo-1989 aqala ukujoyina i-NATO, kwase kuba yi-EU. Futhi ngaphakathi kwe-EU — okuyikho phela, indawo yokuhweba encintisana neNyakatho Melika - i-UK isikhathi eside isebenze njengohlobo lwe-US surrogate ekhuthaza ukubambisana namabhizinisi okuhweba aseRussia, njll. Manje i-UK sehlukene ne-EU, ayitholakali, uthi, ingcindezi iJalimane yokugwema ukusebenzisana namaRussia Washington aphikisana nayo. Kuhle!

IJalimane inezizathu eziningi zokufuna ukwandisa ukuhwebelana neRussia futhi manje isikhombisile isifiso sokumelana ne-US Germany kanye neFrance bobabili baphonsela inselelo impi yase-Iraq kaGeorge W. Bush ngokususelwa emangeni. Akufanele sikhohlwe ukuthi uBush (owanyuselwa kamuva nje njengesikhulu sezombusazwe ngamaDemocrats!) Waphikisana kanjani nomlandeli wakhe uTrump njengebhoklolo elihlambalazayo, eliqamba amanga. Futhi uma u-Obama ebonakala eyiqhawe ngokuqhathaniswa, amandla akhe kazibuthe ancipha njengoba abaseYurophu bezwa ukuthi bonke babeqashwe yiNational Security Agency, nokuthi izingcingo zika-Angela Merkel noPapa zazenziwe iphutha. Leli bekuyizwe lenkululeko kanye nentando yeningi, lihlala liziqhayisa ngokukhulula iYurophu kumaNazi futhi lilindele ukukhokhelwa okuphakade ngendlela yezisekelo nokuhlonishwa kwezepolitiki.

Sekuyiminyaka engama-76 kusukela kwawa iBerlin (kwabaseSoviet, njengoba wazi, hhayi e-US);

72 selokhu kwasungulwa iNorth Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO);

32 selokhu kuwa koDonga lwaseBerlin kanye nesithembiso sikaGeorge WH Bush kuGorbachev HHAYI ukukhulisa i-NATO ngokuqhubekayo;

22 selokhu kwaqala kabusha ukunwetshwa kwe-NATO;

Kusukela kwempi ye-US-NATO neSerbia kufaka phakathi ukuqhuma kwamabhomu eBelgrade;

20 selokhu i-NATO yaya empini ibhekise e-US e-Afghanistan, okwaholela ekuchithekeni nokwehluleka;

Iminyaka eyi-13 selokhu i-US yabona iKosovo njengezwe elizimele, kanti i-NATO yamemezela ukwamukelwa kwesikhashana kwe-Ukraine neGeorgia, okwaholela empini emfushane yaseRussia-Georgia kanye nokwaziwa kweRussia emazweni aseNingizimu Ossetia nase-Abkhazia;

Iminyaka eyi-10 selokhu kwavela umsebenzi omubi we-NATO wokuqeda nokuthunga isiphithiphithi eLibya, kwaveza ukwesaba okwedlulele kulo lonke iSahel kanye nodlame lwezinhlanga nohlanga kuleliya lizwe eliwayo, nokukhiqiza amagagasi amaningi ababaleki;

7 selokhu i-putch enesibindi, enegazi esekelwa e-US e-Ukraine ebeka iqembu elisekela i-NATO emandleni, lisusa ukuvukela okuqhubekayo phakathi kwabantu baseRussia abanobuhlanga empumalanga futhi liphoqa iMoscow ukuthi iphinde inamathisele iNhlonhlo YaseCrimea, imema unswinyo oluqhubekayo olungakaze lubonwe e-US nase-US ingcindezi kulabo abasondelene nabo ukuthi bahambisane;

5 selokhu isimilo esibi se-narcissist sanqoba ubumongameli base-US futhi ngokushesha sahlukanisa abalingani ngezimemezelo zakhe, ukuthukwa, ukungazi okucacayo, indlela yokulwa, kuphakamisa imibuzo ezingqondweni eziyizigidi eziyinkulungwane ngokuzinza kwengqondo nokwahlulela kwabavoti baleli zwe;

Unyaka ongu-1 selokhu kwaba nokufudumala emsebenzini osekuyisikhathi eside wafunga ukuthi uzokwandisa futhi aqinise i-NATO, owaba ngumuntu ophethe isikhundla sika-Obama e-Ukraine ngemuva kokugumbuqelwa kuka-2014, inhloso yakhe ukuhlanza inkohlakalo ukulungiselela i-Ukraine ukuba yilungu le-NATO (futhi ngubani ubaba ka UHunter Biden owaduma wahlala ebhodini lenkampani kagesi ehamba phambili yase-Ukraine 2014-2017 wenza izigidi ngaphandle kwesizathu noma umsebenzi owenziwe) waba ngumongameli.

Unyaka ongu-1 selokhu umhlaba wabona kaninginingi ku-TV ividiyo yomzuzu eyi-9 evulekile, yamaphoyisa omphakathi ahlala emigwaqweni yaseMinneapolis, impela abaningi phakathi kwemibono bayazibuza ukuthi lelizwe elinobandlululo linelungelo lini lokufundisa iChina noma ubani ngamalungelo abantu.

Izinyanga eziyi-9 selokhu kwahlasela i-capitol yase-US ngamahembe ansundu ase-US afaka amafulegi e-Confederate nezimpawu zama-fascist futhi afuna ukuba kulethwe iphini likamongameli kaTrump ngokuvukela umbuso.

Yirekhodi elide leYurophu esabekayo enabaholi ababonakala bengazinzile (uBush ongekho ngaphansi kukaTrump); ukuhlukumeza iYurophu ngezimfuno kunciphisa ukuhwebelana neRussia neChina futhi kuthobele imithetho yase-US e-Iran, nokufuna ukubamba iqhaza ezimpini zayo zama-impiriyali kude neNyakatho ye-Atlantic kuye e-Asia Ephakathi kanye naseNyakatho Afrika.

Kuphinde kube yirekhodi lokucasula iRussia ngenkathi ikhulisa i-juggernaut elwa neRussia. Kusho empeleni ukusebenzisa i-NATO kwezempi (njengaseSerbia, e-Afghanistan naseLibya) ukumisa umfelandawonye wezempi ngaphansi kokulawulwa yi-US, ukumiswa kwamasosha ase-4000 ase-US ePoland, nokusongela izindiza eBaltic. Khonamanjalo, ama-ejensi amaningi ase-US asebenza isikhathi esengeziwe ekwakheni "ukushintsha kombala" ezifundeni ezingasemngceleni weRussia: iBelarus, iGeorgia, ne-Ukraine.

I-NATO iyingozi futhi imbi. Kufanele inqanyulwe. Izinhlolovo zemibono eYurophu ziphakamisa ukukhuphuka kokungabaza kwe-NATO (okuhle kukodwa) nokuphikisana (okungcono). Isivele yahlukaniswa ngokujulile kanye: ngo-2002-2003 ngeMpi yase-Iraq. Ngempela ubugebengu obubonakalayo beMpi yase-Iraq, ukuzimisela okusobala kwabantu baseMelika ukusebenzisa imininingwane engachazwanga, nobuntu bomongameli wase-US mhlawumbe buthuse iYurophu njengoTrump oyisilo.

Into ehlekisayo ukuthi uBiden noBlinken, uSullivan no-Austin, bonke kubonakala sengathi bacabanga ukuthi akukho kulokhu okwenzekile. Kubonakala sengathi bacabanga ukuthi umhlaba uhlonipha i-United States njengomholi (wemvelo?) Wento ebizwa ngeFree World —yamazwe azibophezele “entando yeningi.” UBlinken usitshela nabantu baseYurophu esibhekene nabo, “ukuzimela geqe” ngesimo seChina, iRussia, i-Iran, iNorth Korea, neVenezuela konke okusisongelayo kanye namagugu ethu. Kubonakala sengathi bacabanga ukuthi bangabuyela kuma-1950s, bachaze ukuhamba kwabo njengokukhonjiswa kwe- "American Exceptionalism," ukuma njengabashisekeli "bamalungelo abantu," bafaka ukungenelela kwabo "njengemisebenzi yokusiza," futhi baphambanise amakhasimende abo emazweni ngokuhlanganyela . Njengamanje i-NATO icindezelwa yiBiden ukukhomba (njengoba yenza emhlanganweni wayo wokugcina) i-PRC "njengosongo lwezokuphepha" e-Europe.

Kepha ukubhekiswa eChina bekuyimpikiswano. Futhi i-NATO ihlukene phakathi ngodaba lwaseChina. Amanye amazwe awaboni usongo oluningi futhi anezizathu zokunweba ubudlelwano neChina, ikakhulukazi ngokufika kwamaphrojekthi weBelt and Road. Bayazi ukuthi i-GDP yaseChina kungekudala izodlula eyase-US nokuthi i-US akuyona amandla amakhulu kwezomnotho okwenzeka ngemuva kwempi lapho isungula ubukhosi bayo ngaphezu kweYurophu yonke. Ilahlekelwe amandla ayo ayisisekelo kepha, njengoMbuso waseSpain ngekhulu leshumi nesishiyagalombili, akukho nokuzikhukhumeza nobudlova bawo.

Ngisho nangemva kwakho konke ukuvezwa. Ngisho phela ihlazo. UBiden ekhanyisa ukumamatheka kwakhe okuqeqeshiwe umemezela ukuthi "iMelika ibuyile!" silindele umhlaba — ikakhulukazi “ababambisene nathi” —ukuthokozela ukuqala kabusha kokujwayelekile. Kepha uBiden kufanele akhumbule ukuthula kwamatshe okwahlangana nesimemezelo sikaPence engqungqutheleni yezokuphepha yaseMunich ngoFebhuwari 2019 lapho edlulisa imikhonzo kaTrump. Ngabe laba baholi baseMelika abaqondi yini ukuthi kuleli khulu leminyaka i-GDP yaseYurophu isize yafana neyaseMelika? Futhi labo bantu abambalwa bakholelwa ukuthi i-US "isindise" iYurophu kumaNazi, yabe isishiya amaKhomanisi aseSoviet, futhi yavuselela iYurophu ngeMarshall Plan, futhi iyaqhubeka kuze kube namuhla ukuvikela iYurophu eRussia esongela ukumasha ngasentshonalanga kunoma yikuphi umzuzwana?

UBlinken ufuna ukucosha aqhubekele phambili ahole umhlaba uye phambili. Buyela kokujwayelekile! Umsindo, i-USleaderhip ethembekile ibuyile!

Hawu ngempela? amaFrance angabuza. Ukugwaza umlingani weNATO ngemuva, ucekela phansi isivumelwano esisayinwe esingu- $ 66 billion ne-Australia ekude? "Ukwenza," njengoba kusho ungqongqoshe wezangaphandle waseFrance, "into uMnu Trump azoyenza"? Hhayi iFrance kuphela kepha ne-EU isigxekile isivumelwano se-US-Australia. Amanye amalungu e-NATO abuza ukuthi i-Atlantic Alliance isizakala kanjani ngombango webhizinisi phakathi kwamalungu ophathelene nalokho iPentagon ekubiza ngokuthi yisifunda se- "Indo-Pacific". Futhi kungani-lapho i-US izama ukuvikela ukubamba iqhaza kwe-NATO nesu lokuhlanganisa iBeijing nokuyicasula — kungazihluphi ukusebenzisana neFrance?

Ngabe uBlinken akazi yini ukuthi iFrance iyizwe lama impiriyali elinezinto ezinkulu ePacific? Ngabe uyazi ngezindawo zasolwandle zaseFrance ePapeete, eTahiti, noma ngamasosha, amabutho asolwandle nawasemoyeni eNew Caledonia? AmaFulentshi aqhuba ukuqhuma kwawo kwenuzi eMururora, ngenxa kankulunkulu. Njengezwe lama impiriyali, ingabe iFrance ayinalo ilungelo elifanayo nelaseMelika lokuhlangana neChina ne-Australia, ekhoneni laseFrance lePacific? Futhi uma umngane wayo osondelene ne-US ethatha isinqumo sokusidicilela phansi lesi sivumelwano, bekungafanele yini ukuthi isimilo sisho ukuthi okungenani yazise “umlingani wayo omdala” ngezinhloso zayo?

Ukulahlwa kweFrance ngesivumelwano semikhumbi-ngwenya bekubukhali ngendlela engakaze ibonwe, ngokwengxenye, ngiyacabanga, ngenxa yokwehliswa isithunzi kweFrance njengamandla amakhulu. Uma i-US inxusa ababambisene nayo ukuthi bahlanganyele nayo ekubhekaneni neChina, kungani ingabonisani neFrance mayelana nesivumelwano sezikhali esenzelwe ukwenza lokho, ikakhulukazi lapho sithatha umuntu osexoxiswene naye obala ngomunye wabalingani beNATO? Akucaci yini ukuthi izikhalazo zikaBiden "zobumbano lobumbano" zisho ukuhlangana, ngemuva kobuholi baseMelika mayelana namalungiselelo empi neChina?

Kancane kancane i-NATO iyaganga. Futhi, lokhu kuyinto enhle kakhulu. Bengikhathazekile ngokuthi uBiden uzosebenza ngokushesha ukuhlanganisa i-Ukraine kulo mfelandawonye, ​​kepha kubonakala sengathi uMerkel umtshele ukuthi cha. Abantu baseYurophu abafuni ukuhudulwa bangene kwenye impi yase-US, ikakhulukazi ngokumelene nomakhelwane wabo omkhulu ababazi kangcono kakhulu kunabaseMelika futhi banezizathu zokuba nobungane. IFrance neJalimane, (abakhumbulayo) abamelene nezimpi zase-US ezisekelwe e-Iraq ngo-2003, ekugcineni balahlekelwa yisineke ngalo mfelandawonye futhi bazibuza ukuthi kusho ukuthini ukuba yilungu ngaphandle kokujoyina i-US ezingxabanweni zayo neRussia neChina.
