Njengezimpi eziningi emhlabeni jikelele, impi ekhona phakathi kwe-Azerbaijan ne-Armenia iyimpi phakathi kwamasosha ahlomile futhi aqeqeshwe yi-United States. Futhi ngokubona kwabanye Ochwepheshe, izinga lezikhali ezithengwe yi-Azerbaijan liyimbangela eyinhloko yempi. Ngaphambi kokuthi noma ngubani aphakamise ukuthumela ezinye izikhali e-Armenia njengesixazululo esikahle, kukhona okunye okungenzeka.
Vele, i-Azerbaijan inohulumeni ocindezela ngokweqile, ngakho-ke ukuhlonyiswa kwalowo hulumeni nguhulumeni wase-US kufanele kuchazwe kunoma ngubani ongenawo umongo oyisisekelo - into okungekho umthengi wabezindaba wase-US angasolwa ngayo ngempela. Izindawo emhlabeni ngezimpi akhiqize cishe azikho izikhali. Leli qiniso liyabamangaza abanye abantu, kepha akekho ophikisayo. Izikhali zithunyelwa ngaphakathi, cishe ngokuphelele zisuka ku- ngesandla yamazwe. I-United States ikude futhi ikude, i umthengisi wezikhali eziphezulu emhlabeni nase ohulumeni abanonya wezwe.
IFreedom House yinhlangano eseyikhona kugxekwa kakhulu ngokuxhaswa nguhulumeni oyedwa (i-US, kanye nemali evela kohulumeni abambalwa ababambisene) ngenkathi kukhiqizwa amazinga ohulumeni. Indlu Yenkululeko uhlela izizwe njenge “mahhala,” “ngokwengxenye ekhululekile,” futhi “engakhululekile,” ngokuya ngezinqubomgomo zabo zasekhaya kanye nokuchema kwabo e-US. Ithatha amazwe angama-50 ukuthi “awakhululekile,” kanti elinye lawo yi-Azerbaijan. I-CIA exhaswa ngemali Umbutho Wokusebenza Kwezepolitiki ikhombe amazwe angama-21 njengezimbuso ezizimele, okubandakanya i-Azerbaijan. UMnyango Wezwe wase-US uthi kwe-Azerbaijan:
“Izindaba ezithinta amalungelo abantu zazihlanganisa ukubulala ngokungemthetho noma ngokungenasizathu; ukuhlukunyezwa; ukuboshwa ngokungafanele; izimo zejele ezinzima futhi kwesinye isikhathi ezisongela impilo; iziboshwa zezombusazwe; ukwephula umthetho; ukuhlaselwa kwezintatheli ngokomzimba; ukugxambukela ngokungenasizathu nobumfihlo; ukugxambukela kwinkululeko yokukhuluma, yokuhlangana, neyokuhlangana ngokusatshiswa; ukuboshwa ngamacala angabazisayo; ukuhlukunyezwa ngokomzimba kwezishoshovu ezikhethiwe, izintatheli, kanye nabaphikisi bezwe nabenkolo. . . . ”
Umbutho wezempi wase-US uthi nge-Azerbaijan: ukuthi leyo ndawo idinga ini izikhali eziningi! Kusho okufanayo nge-Armenia, uMnyango Wezwe wase-US unikeza umbiko ongcono kuphela:
“Izindaba ezithinta amalungelo abantu zazihlanganisa nokuhlukunyezwa; izimo ezinzima nezisongela impilo ejele; ukuboshwa nokuvalelwa ngokungekho emthethweni; udlame lwamaphoyisa olubhekiswe ezintathelini; ukuphazanyiswa ngokomzimba ngabezokuphepha ngenkululeko yokuhlangana; imikhawulo ekubambeni iqhaza kwezepolitiki; inkohlakalo kahulumeni ehlelekile. . . . ”
Eqinisweni, uhulumeni wase-US uvumela, ahlele, noma kwezinye izimo aze ahlinzekele nangemali, ukuthengiswa kwezikhali zase-US emazweni angama-41 kwangu-50 “angakhululekile” - noma amaphesenti angama-82 (kanye nama-20 kwezizimele ezingama-21 ze-CIA). Ukukhiqiza lesi sibalo, ngibheke ukuthengiswa kwezikhali zase-US phakathi kuka-2010 no-2019 njengoba kubhalwe yi I-Stockholm International Peace Research Institute Izikhali Zokuhweba Zengalo, noma ngamasosha ase-US kudokhumenti elibizwe ngokuthi "Ukuthengiswa Kwezempi Kwamanye Amazwe, Ukuthengiswa Kwezempi Kwamanye Amazwe Kanye Nokunye Ukubambisana Kwezokuphepha Emlandweni: Kusukela ngoSepthemba 30, 2017." Abangu-41 bahlanganisa i-Azerbaijan.
I-United States ibuye inikeze ukuqeqeshwa kwezempi ngohlobo oluthile noma okunye kokungu-44 kokungu-50, noma amaphesenti angama-88 emazweni amazwe athi izimali zawo “awakhululekile.” Lokhu ngikusekela ekutholeni ukuqeqeshwa okunjalo okubalwe ku-2017 noma ku-2018 komunye noma kuyo yomibili le mithombo: Umnyango Wombuso wase-US Umbiko Wokuqeqeshwa Kwempi Yezwe Langaphandle: Iminyaka Yezimali 2017 Nango-2018: Umbiko Ohlanganayo ku-Congress Volumes I futhi II, kanye ne-United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Ukulungiswa Kwesabelomali se-DRM: UKUZALWA KWEZOBUCHWEPHESHE: IMISEBENZI YOKUSEKELA: Unyaka Wezimali 2018. Abangu-44 bahlanganisa i-Azerbaijan.
Ngaphandle kokubathengisela (noma ukubanikeza) izikhali nokubaqeqesha, uhulumeni wase-US uphinde unikeze ngezimali ngqo emasosheni aphesheya. Kohulumeni abacindezelayo abangama-50, njengoba kubalulwe yiFreedom House, abangama-33 bathola “imali yezempi yakwamanye amazwe” noma olunye uxhaso lwemisebenzi yezempi kuhulumeni wase-US, nge - kuphephe kakhulu ukusho - intukuthelo encane emithonjeni yezindaba yase-US noma kubakhokhi bentela base-US sizwa ngokunikezwa kokudla kubantu baseMelika abalambile. Lolu hlu ngilusekela ku-United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Ukulungiswa Kwesabelomali se-DRM: UKUZEZA UKUZEZA NGOKUGQIBELA: IMISEBENZI YOKUFUNDA: Unyaka Wezimali 2017, Futhi Ukulungiswa Kwesabelomali se-DRM: UKUZALWA KWEZOBUCHWEPHESHE: IMISEBENZI YOKUSEKELA: Unyaka Wezimali 2018. Abangu-33 bahlanganisa i-Azerbaijan.
Ngakho-ke, le mpi phakathi kwe-Azerbaijan ne-Armenia, imvamisa, iyimpi yase-US noma umphakathi wase-US ungacabangi kanjalo, noma ngabe izindaba ukuthi i-United States izama ukuxoxisana ngokuthula - izindaba ezibandakanya ukungakhulumi ngokuphelele ngokunqunywa ukugeleza kwezikhali noma ukusongela nokusika ukugeleza kwezikhali. I- Washington Post ngathanda uku thumela amasosha ase-US - ecabanga ukuthi yisixazululo esilula futhi esisobala. Lokho kufuna akuxhomekile kunoma ngubani ngisho nokucabanga ngombono wokusika izikhali. Lokhu akuyona impi kaTrump noma impi ka-Obama. Akuyona impi yamaRiphabhulikhi noma impi yeDemokhrasi. Akuyona impi ngoba uTrump uyabathanda omashiqela noma ngoba uBernie Sanders usho okuthile okungaphansi kokubulala ngoFidel Castro. Kuyimpi ejwayelekile yamaqembu amabili, eyejwayelekile ngendima yaseMelika ukuthi ingashiwo. Uma impi ishiwo nhlobo empikiswaneni kamongameli kusihlwa, ungaqiniseka ukuthi izikhali ezisetshenziselwe ukulwa nayo ngeke. Amaphutha ezepolitiki avela emashumini eminyaka adlule ayisihloko esidumile futhi sangempela, futhi adinga ukulungiswa, kepha ukuwalungisa ngaphandle kwezikhali zempi kuzobulala abantu abambalwa futhi kudale isinqumo esihlala isikhathi eside.
Izikhali zaseMelika ziqeqesha i-Armenia kanye ne-Azerbaijan, kepha kufanele ukuthi unake ohulumeni uhulumeni wase-US uqobo ababiza njengabacindezelayo, ngoba uphazamisa indaba yokusabalala kwentando yeningi. Kohulumeni abacindezelayo abangama-50, abafakwe ilebula ngenhlangano exhaswa ngezimali yi-US, ezempi zaseMelika zeseka okungenani eyodwa yezindlela ezintathu okukhulunywe ngazo ngenhla kwama-48 kubo noma amaphesenti angama-96, bonke ngaphandle kwezitha ezincane eziqokiwe zaseCuba naseNyakatho Korea. Kwezinye zazo, i-United States lezisekelo isibalo esikhulu samabutho aso (okungukuthi angaphezu kwekhulu): I-Afghanistan, iBahrain, iGibhithe, i-Iraq, iQatar, iSaudi Arabia, iSyria, iThailand, iTurkey, kanye ne-United Arab Emirates. Nabanye babo, njengeSaudi Arabia eYemen, abalingani bezempi baseMelika ezimpini ezinonya uqobo. Abanye, njengohulumeni wase-Afghanistan nase-Iraq, bangumkhiqizo wezimpi zase-US. Ingozi enkulu ngale mpi yamanje ilele ekungazinakekeli ukuthi izikhali zivelaphi, kuhlangene nomqondo osangene wokuthi isixazululo sempi siyinweba impi.
Nanku umqondo ohlukile. Cela ohulumeni bezwe:
Unganikeli ngezikhali kunoma yiluphi uhlangothi lodlame eNagorno-Karabakh.
