Uma uthi nhlá, izinkulumo zika-Hillary Clinton kuGoldman Sachs, anqabile ukusibonisa zona kodwa i-WikiLeaks ithi manje isikhiqize imibhalo yayo, iveza ubuzenzisi obungacacile noma ukuhlukumeza kunemibhalo yama-imeyili ahlukahlukene nayo eyembulwe muva nje. Kodwa ake ubhekisise.
UClinton ukusho ngokuduma ukuthi ukholelwa ekugcineni isikhundla somphakathi endabeni ngayinye ehlukile esikhundleni sakhe sangasese. Yini ayinikeze uGoldman Sachs?
Yebo, uClinton uyavuma ukuthi uthembekile ezivumelwaneni zohwebo lwezinkampani, kodwa ngesikhathi sokuphawula kwakhe wayengakaqali (esidlangalaleni) ethi ngenye indlela.
Eqinisweni, ngicabanga ukuthi uClinton uphethe izikhundla eziningi ezindabeni ezahlukahlukene, nokuthi lezo azinikeze uGoldman Sachs ngokwengxenye zaziyizimo zakhe zomphakathi, ngokwengxenye wayezithemba kubambisene nabo, futhi ngokwengxenye icala lakhe leDemocratic Alliance eliyingxenye yeqembu lihlala ekamelweni AmaRiphabhulikhi ukuthi kungani kufanele anikele kakhulu kuye futhi kancane ku-GOP. Lokhu bekungelona uhlobo lwenkulumo abengayinikeza abaphathi bezinyunyana zabasebenzi noma ochwepheshe bamalungelo abantu noma izithunywa zikaBernie Sanders. Unesikhundla kuzo zonke izethameli.
Emibhalweni yenkulumo esuka kuJuni 4, 2013, Okthoba 29, 2013, no-Okthoba 19, 2015, uClinton ngokusobala ukhokhelwe ngokwanele ukuze enze okuthile aphika izethameli eziningi. Okusho ukuthi, wathatha imibuzo okubonakala sengathi akazange atshelwe ngasese noma ahlanganyele ezingxoxweni kusenesikhathi. Ngokwengxenye lokhu kubonakala kunjalo ngoba eminye yemibuzo kwakuyizinkulumo ezinde, futhi ngokwengxenye ngenxa yokuthi izimpendulo zakhe kwakungezona zonke izinhlobo zezinkulumo ezingenangqondo azivezayo uma enikezwa isikhathi sokuzilungiselela.
Okuningi kokuqukethwe kwalezi zinkulumo kumabhange ase-US kuphathelene nenqubomgomo yangaphandle, futhi cishe konke lokho ngezimpi, izimpi ezingase zibe khona, namathuba okubuswa kwezempi ezifundeni ezihlukahlukene zomhlaba. Lezi zinto zithakazelisa kakhulu futhi zethulwa ngendlela ehlambalazayo kuneziwula ezishiwo ezingxoxweni zomphakathi zomongameli. Kodwa futhi ihambisana nesithombe senqubomgomo yase-US okungenzeka ukuthi uClinton wakhetha ukusigcina siyimfihlo. Njengoba nje kungekho muntu okhangise lokho, njengoba ama-imeyili ekhombisa manje, osomabhange baseWall Street basize ekukhetheni ikhabhinethi kaMongameli Obama, sivamise ukudangala ekucabangeni ukuthi izimpi nezisekelo zakwamanye amazwe kuhloswe ngazo njengezinsizakalo kubabusi bezezimali. "Nginimele nonke," kusho uClinton etshela ababhange mayelana nemizamo yakhe emhlanganweni e-Asia. I-Sub-Saharan Africa inamandla amakhulu "kumabhizinisi nosomabhizinisi" base-US, esho ebhekise empini yase-US lapho.
Kodwa-ke, kulezi zinkulumo, uClinton uveza yona kanye leyo ndlela, ngokunembayo noma cha, kwezinye izizwe futhi usola iChina ngohlobo nje lwento abagxeki bakhe “abakude kwesokunxele” abamsola ngayo ngaso sonke isikhathi, nakuba ngaphandle kokuhlolwa kwemithombo yezindaba yase-US. . I-China, uClinton uthi, ingase isebenzise inzondo ngeJapane njengendlela yokuphazamisa abantu baseShayina emigomeni yezomnotho engathandwayo neyingozi. I-China, kusho uClinton, idonsa kanzima ukugcina amandla omphakathi phezu kwezempi. Hmm. Sike sazibona kuphi lezi zinkinga?
"Sizoshaya i-China 'ngokuzivikela' ngemicibisholo," uClinton etshela uGoldman Sachs. "Sizofaka imikhumbi yethu eminingi endaweni."
ESyria, uClinton uthi kunzima ukuthola ukuthi ubani ozohlomisa - akanandaba nhlobo nanoma yiziphi ezinye izinketho ngaphandle kokuhlomisa umuntu. Kunzima, uthi, ukubikezela nhlobo okuzokwenzeka. Ngakho-ke, iseluleko sakhe, asiphumela ekamelweni lababhange, ukuthi alwe eSyria "ngokucashile."
Ezingxoxweni zomphakathi, uClinton ufuna "ayikho indawo yempukane" noma "indawo yokuqhuma kwamabhomu" noma "indawo ephephile" eSyria, lapho kufanele ahlele khona impi yokuketula uhulumeni. Enkulumweni yakhe eya kuGoldman Sachs, nokho, uveza ukuthi ukwakha indawo enjalo kuzodinga ukuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu ezindaweni eziningi ezinabantu abaningi kunalokho obekudingeka eLibya. “Uzobulala amaSiriya amaningi,” evuma. Uzama nokuziqhelelanisa nalesi siphakamiso ngokubhekisa “kulokhu kungenelela abantu abakhuluma ngakho kancane” - yize yena, ngaphambi nangesikhathi saleyo nkulumo futhi kusukela ngaleso sikhathi bekunguye oholayo.
UClinton uphinde akwenze kucace ukuthi “ama-jihadist” aseSyria axhaswa yiSaudi Arabia, UAE, kanye neQatar. Ngo-Okthoba 2013, njengoba umphakathi wase-US wenqabile ukuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu eSyria, uBlankfein wabuza ukuthi ngabe umphakathi usumelene yini “nokungenelela” - lokho okuqondwa ngokucacile njengesithiyo okufanele sinqotshwe. UClinton wathi angesabi. Wathi: “Sisesikhathini saseSiriya lapho bengakaqedi ukubulalana khona . . . futhi mhlawumbe kufanele nje ulinde futhi uyibuke.”
Lowo ngumbono wabaningi abanezisusa ezimbi nabanezisusa ezinhle abaye bakholelwa ukuthi okubili kuphela okukhethwa kukho kwinqubomgomo yangaphandle ukuqhumisa abantu ngamabhomu bangenzi lutho. Lokho ngokusobala ukuqonda kwalowo owayenguNobhala Wezwe, izikhundla zakhe zazinohlonze kakhulu kunezozakwabo ePentagon. Kuphinde kukhumbuze ukuphawula kukaHarry Truman ukuthi uma amaJalimane ewina kufanele usize amaRussia futhi ngokuphambene nalokho, ukuze kufe abantu abaningi. Akukhona lokho impela uClinton akusho lapha, kodwa kuseduze kakhulu, futhi yinto angeke ayisho ekubonakaleni okubhaliwe okuhlangene kwemidiya ezenza impikiswano. Amathuba okwehlisa izikhali, umsebenzi wokuthula ongenalo udlame, usizo lwangempela ngezinga elikhulu, kanye nokuxoxisana ngenhlonipho okushiya ithonya lase-US ngaphandle kwezifunda eziwumphumela akukhona nje ku-radar kaClinton noma ngabe ubani olalele.
E-Iran, uClinton uphindaphinda izimangalo ezingamanga ngezikhali zenuzi nobuphekula, nakuba evuma ngokusobala kakhulu kunalokho esikujwayele ukuthi umholi wezenkolo wase-Iran ugxeka futhi ephikisana nezikhali zenuzi. Uyavuma futhi ukuthi iSaudi Arabia isivele iphishekela izikhali zenuzi nokuthi i-UAE ne-Egypt kungenzeka bakwenze lokho, okungenani uma i-Iran ikwenza. Uyavuma futhi ukuthi uhulumeni waseSaudi usekude ukuzinza.
I-CEO yakwaGoldman Sachs u-Lloyd Blankfein ubuza uClinton ngesinye isikhathi ukuthi impi enhle ngokumelene ne-Iran ingase ihambe kanjani - uphakamisa ukuthi umsebenzi (yebo, basebenzisa lelo gama elinqatshelwe) kungase kungabi umnyakazo ongcono kakhulu. UClinton uphendula ngokuthi i-Iran ingavele iqhunyiswe ngamabhomu. UBlankfein, ngendlela eshaqisayo, ukhanga iqiniso - okuthile uClinton aqhubeka ngendlela enyanyekayo kwenye indawo kulezi zinkulumo. Ingabe ukuqhuma kwamabhomu abantu ekuhambiseni okwake kwasebenza, kubuza u-Blankfein. UClinton uyavuma ukuthi akwenzekanga kodwa uphakamisa ukuthi kungase kusebenze kubantu base-Irani ngoba abayona intando yeningi.
Mayelana ne-Egypt, uClinton ukwenza kucace ukuphikisa kwakhe izinguquko ezithandwayo.
Mayelana neChina futhi, uClinton uthi utshele amaShayina ukuthi i-United States ingafuna ubunikazi bayo yonke iPacific ngenxa yokuthi "iyikhulule." Uqhubeka athi ubatshele ukuthi “Sithole iJapan ngenxa yezulu.” Futhi: “Sinobufakazi bokuthi siyithengile [iHawaii].” Ngempela? Ovela kubani?
Lokhu kumbi, okungenani kulimaza izimpilo zabantu njengokungcola okuvela kuDonald Trump. Nokho kuyamangaza ukuthi nabamabhange uClinton abathulula kubo isifuba sakhe sobuqhawe bambuza imibuzo efanayo kulabo engibuzwa yizishoshovu zokuthula emicimbini yokukhuluma: "Ingabe uhlelo lwezepolitiki lwase-US lwephukile ngokuphelele?" "Ingabe kufanele sikulahle lokhu futhi sihambisane nohlelo lwephalamende?" Kanjalo. Ngokwengxenye ukukhathazeka kwabo i-gridlock okuthiwa idalwa ukungezwani phakathi kwamaqembu amabili amakhulu, kuyilapho ukukhathazeka kwami okukhulu ukucekelwa phansi kwabantu ngezempi kanye nemvelo engabonakali neze ihlangabezana nokwehla kwezimoto kuCongress. Kodwa uma ucabanga ukuthi abantu uBernie Sanders abahlale ebagxeka ngokuthi bagodukise yonke inzuzo bajabule ngesimo esikhona, cabanga futhi. Bahlomula ngezindlela ezithile, kodwa abasilawuli inunu yabo futhi akubenzi bazizwe begcwalisekile.
