Kamuva ikholomu, umhlaziyi wezempi uWilliam Astore wabhala, “[UCongressman] uGeorge Santos uwuphawu lwesifo esikhulu kakhulu: ukuntula inhlonipho, ukuntula amahloni, eMelika. Ukuhlonipha, iqiniso, ubuqotho, akubonakali kungenandaba, noma akunandaba kangako, eMelika namuhla…
U-Astore uqhubekile waqhathanisa abaholi bezepolitiki nabezempi baseMelika neCongressman Santos ehlazekile. “Abaholi bezempi baseMelika uvele ngaphambi kweCongress ezofakaza ukuthi iMpi yase-Iraq iyanqotshwa,” kubhala u-Astore. "Bavele ngaphambi kweCongress ukuze bafakaze ukuthi iMpi yase-Afghan iyanqotshwa. Bakhuluma "ngenqubekelaphambili," yokuphendulwa kwamakhona, amabutho ase-Iraq nase-Afghan uqeqeshwe ngempumelelo futhi bekulungele ukwenza imisebenzi yabo njengoba amabutho ase-US ahoxa. Njengoba izenzakalo zabonisa, konke kwaphenduka. Wonke amanga.”
Manje iMelika isempini futhi, e-Ukraine, futhi i-spin iyaqhubeka. Le mpi ihlanganisa iRussia, Ukraine, the I-united states kanye nabalingani bayo be-NATO. Alikho iqembu elibhekene nalolu dweshu elike lalingana nabantu balo ukuze lichaze ngokweqiniso ukuthi lilwelani, yini elithemba ukuyizuza kanye nendlela elihlela ukukufeza ngayo. Zonke izinhlangothi zithi zilwela izizathu ezinhle futhi ziphikelela ngokuthi yilo olunye uhlangothi olunqabayo ukuxoxisana ngesinqumo esinokuthula. Bonke bayakhohlisa futhi baqamba amanga, futhi abezindaba abathobelayo (nhlangothi zonke) bakhuluma amanga abo.
Kuyiqiniso lokuthi umuntu wokuqala owashona empini yiqiniso. Kodwa ukuphotha nokuqamba amanga kunemithelela yomhlaba wangempela empini lapho amakhulu ezinkulungwane abantu bangempela bayalwa futhi bayafa, kuyilapho amakhaya abo, nhlangothi zombili zempi, echithwa amakhulu ezinkulungwane zabantu. amagobolondo e-Howitzer.
U-Yves Smith, umhleli we-Naked Capitalism, uhlole lokhu kuxhumana okucashile phakathi kwempi yolwazi kanye neyangempela esihlokweni enesihloko esithi, “Kungenzekani uma iRussia iwina iMpi yase-Ukraine, kodwa abezindaba baseNtshonalanga bengaboni?” Ubone ukuthi ukuncika ngokuphelele kwe-Ukraine ekuhlinzekweni kwezikhali kanye nemali evela kubalingani bayo baseNtshonalanga kunikeze impilo yayo emlandweni wokunqoba wokuthi i-Ukraine inqoba iRussia, futhi izoqhubeka nokuwina amaphuzu inqobo nje uma iNtshonalanga iqhubeka nokuyithumela imali eyengeziwe futhi. izikhali ezinamandla ngokuya nezibulalayo.
Kepha isidingo sokuqhubeka nokwenza kabusha inkohliso yokuthi i-Ukraine iyawina ngokuthola izinzuzo ezilinganiselwe enkundleni yempi kuphoqe i-Ukraine ukuthi igcine. umhlatshelo amabutho ayo ezimpini ezichitha igazi ngokwedlulele, njengokuhlasela kwayo ezungeze i-Kherson kanye nokuvinjezelwa kweRussia kwe-Bakhmut ne-Soledar. U-Lt. Col. Alexander Vershinin, umkhuzi wamathangi ase-US osewathatha umhlalaphansi, wabhala kuwebhusayithi ye-Harvard's Russia Matters, “Ngandlela thize, i-Ukraine ayinakho ukukhetha ngaphandle kokuhlasela kungakhathaliseki ukuthi izindleko zomuntu nezezinto ezibonakalayo zingakanani.”
Ukuhlaziywa kwenhloso yempi yase-Ukraine kunzima ukuyithola ngokusebenzisa inkungu enkulu yenkulumo-ze yempi. Kepha kufanele sinake lapho uchungechunge lwabaholi bezempi abaphezulu baseNtshonalanga, abakhuthele nabathatha umhlalaphansi, benza izingcingo eziphuthumayo zokuthi izingxoxo zivule kabusha izingxoxo zokuthula, futhi zixwayise ngokuthi ukwandisa nokwandisa impi kubeka engcupheni impi. isikali esigcwele impi phakathi kweRussia ne-United States engase idlulele impi yenuzi.
UGeneral Erich Vad, owayengumeluleki omkhulu wezempi kaShansela waseJalimane u-Angela Merkel iminyaka eyisikhombisa, muva wakhuluma no-Emma, ingosi yezindaba yaseJalimane. Wabiza impi yase-Ukraine ngokuthi “impi yobandlululo,” futhi wayiqhathanisa neMpi Yezwe Yokuqala, kanye neMpi YaseVerdun ikakhulukazi, lapho kwabulawa khona amakhulu ezinkulungwane zamasosha aseFrance naseJalimane ngaphandle kwenzuzo enkulu kunoma yiluphi uhlangothi. .
U-Vad wabuza okufanayo engaphenduli umbuzo ukuthi ibhodi labahleli le-New York Times labuza uMongameli Biden ngoMeyi odlule. Yiziphi izinhloso zempi zangempela ze-US kanye ne-NATO?
“Ingabe uyafuna ukuzuza ukuzimisela kokuxoxisana nokudiliva amathangi? Ingabe ufuna ukunqoba kabusha i-Donbas noma iCrimea? Noma ufuna ukunqoba iRussia ngokuphelele?" kubuza uGeneral Vad.
Uphethe ngokuthi, “Ayikho incazelo eyiqiniso yesimo sokuphela. Futhi ngaphandle komqondo wezepolitiki kanye namasu, ukulethwa kwezikhali kuwubusha obumsulwa. Sinobunzima bokusebenza kwezempi, esingeke sikwazi ukukuxazulula ngokwezempi. Phela, lona futhi umbono we-American Chief of Staff uMark Milley. Uthe ukunqoba kwezempi kwe-Ukraine akulindelekile nokuthi izingxoxo ziwukuphela kwendlela engenzeka. Noma yini enye iwukumosha okungenangqondo kokuphila komuntu.”
Njalo uma izikhulu zaseNtshonalanga zibekwa endaweni ngale mibuzo engaphenduleki, ziyaphoqeleka ukuthi ziphendule, njengokuthi UBiden wenze njalo ku-Times ezinyangeni eziyisishiyagalombili ezedlule, ukuthi bathumela izikhali ukusiza i-Ukraine izivikele futhi ibeke endaweni eqinile etafuleni lezingxoxo. Kodwa lesi “sikhundla esiqinile” sasiyoba njani?
Abezindaba base-US bayagcina ephinda indaba yokuthi iRussia ayisoze yaxoxisana ngokwethembeka, futhi ifihle emphakathini izingxoxo ezinezithelo ezaqala ngokushesha ngemva kokuhlasela kweRussia kodwa zaqedwa yi-United States ne-United Kingdom. Izitolo ezimbalwa zibike izambulo zakamuva zikaNdunankulu wase-Israel uNaftali Bennett mayelana nezingxoxo zokuqeda impi phakathi kweRussia ne-Ukraine eTurkey asizile ukulamula ngoMashi 2022. U-Bennett washo ngokusobala ukuthi amazwe aseNtshonalanga "kuvinjiwe" noma “wamisa” (kuye ngokuthi kuhunyushwe) izingxoxo.
U-Bennett ukuqinisekisile okubikwe eminye imithombo kusukela ngo-Ephreli 21, 2022, lapho uNgqongqoshe Wezangaphandle waseTurkey u-Mevlut Cavusoglu, omunye wabanye abalamuli, utshele I-CNN Turk ngemuva komhlangano wongqongqoshe be-NATO, "Kunamazwe ngaphakathi kwe-NATO afuna ukuthi impi iqhubeke ... Afuna iRussia ibe buthakathaka."
Abeluleki bakaNdunankulu uZelenskyy enikeziwe imininingwane yokuvakasha kuka-Boris Johnson ngo-Ephreli 9 e-Kyiv eyashicilelwa e-Ukrayinska Pravda ngoMeyi 5. Bathe uJohnson wethula imiyalezo emibili. Okokuqala kwaba ukuthi uPutin kanye neRussia "kufanele bacindezelwe, bangaxoxisana nabo." Okwesibili kwaba ukuthi, noma ngabe i-Ukraine isiqedile isivumelwano neRussia, “iNtshonalanga ehlangene,” uJohnson athi ibamele, yayingeke ibambe iqhaza kuso.
Imithombo yezindaba yezinkampani zaseNtshonalanga ngokuvamile ilinganisele kulezi zingxoxo zangaphambili ukuze yenze ukungabaza ngale ndaba noma igcobe noma ubani oyiphinda njengabaxolisi bakaPutin, naphezu kokuqinisekiswa kwemithombo eminingi yizikhulu zase-Ukraine, osomaqhinga baseTurkey futhi manje owayengundunankulu wakwa-Israel.
Uhlaka lwenkulumo-ze olusetshenziswa osopolitiki nabezindaba bezikhungo zaseNtshonalanga ukuchaza impi yase-Ukraine emphakathini wabo luyindaba yakudala "yezigqoko ezimhlophe vs izigqoko ezimnyama", lapho icala laseRussia lokuhlasela liphindeka kabili njengobufakazi bobumsulwa nokulunga kweNtshonalanga. Intaba ekhulayo yobufakazi bokuthi i-US kanye nabalingani bayo bahlanganyela umthwalo wemfanelo ezicini eziningi zale nkinga ishanelwa ngaphansi kukakhaphethi wesaga, obukeka kakhulu njengeNkosana Encane. umdwebo yeboa constrictor egwinye indlovu.
Abezindaba baseNtshonalanga kanye nezikhulu babehlekisa nakakhulu lapho bezama sola iRussia ngokuqhumisa amapayipi ayo, amapayipi egesi yemvelo angaphansi kwamanzi e-Nord Stream ahambisa igesi yaseRussia eJalimane. Ngokwe-NATO, ukuqhuma okwakhiphela i-methane engamathani ayingxenye yesigidi emkhathini “kwakuyizenzo zokucekela phansi ngamabomu, ubudedengu, nokungabi nandaba.” IWashington Post, kulokho okungathathwa njengokungalungi kwentatheli, kucashunwe "isikhulu esiphezulu sezemvelo saseYurophu" esingaziwa sithi, "Akekho ohlangothini lwaseYurophu ocabanga ukuthi lokhu kungenye into ngaphandle kokucekela phansi kweRussia."
Kuthathe lowo owayengumphenyi we-New York Times uSeymour Hersh ukuthi aphule ukuthula. Ushicilele, kokuthunyelwe kwebhulogi kweyakhe i-Substack, okumangalisayo we-whistleblower's i-akhawunti yendlela abatshuzi bemikhumbi yempi yase-US abahlangana ngayo nombutho wezempi wasolwandle waseNorway ukutshala iziqhumane ngaphansi kokuzivocavoca kwezempi yezempi ye-NATO, nokuthi zaqhunyiswa kanjani isignali eyinkimbinkimbi evela ku-buoy ewiswe indiza yaseNorway. Ngokusho kukaHersh, uMongameli uBiden wabamba iqhaza elikhulu ohlelweni, futhi walichibiyela ukuthi lifake ukusetshenziswa kwe-buoy ekhombisayo ukuze azinqumele mathupha isikhathi esiqondile sokusebenza, ngemuva kwezinyanga ezintathu kutshalwe iziqhumane.
I-White House iyabikezela ixoshiwe Umbiko kaHersh “njengenganekwane engamanga neze ephelele”, kodwa awukaze unikeze incazelo enengqondo ngalesi senzo esiyingqopha-mlando sobuphekula bemvelo.
uMongameli Eisenhower sathi kuphela "isakhamuzi esiqaphile futhi esinolwazi" "esingaqapha ukutholwa kwethonya elingagunyaziwe, noma lifunwa noma lingafunwa, yinhlangano yezempi-yezimboni. Amathuba okukhuphuka okuyinhlekelele kwamandla angafanele akhona futhi azoqhubeka.”
Ngakho-ke yini okufanele isakhamuzi saseMelika esiqaphile futhi esinolwazi ngeqhaza uhulumeni wethu alidlalile ekubhebhezeleni isimo esibucayi e-Ukraine, indima abezindaba abahlanganyeli abayidlalile ngaphansi kombhoxo? Lowo ngomunye wemibuzo esemqoka esizame ukuyiphendula kuwo incwadi yethu Impi e-Ukraine: Ukwenza Umuzwa Wengxabano Engenangqondo. Izimpendulo zihlanganisa:
- I-US yaphula umthetho wayo uthembisa hhayi ukwandisa i-NATO eMpumalanga Yurophu. Ngo-1997, ngaphambi kokuba abantu baseMelika bezwe ngoVladimir Putin, ama-seneta angama-50, izikhulu zezempi esezithathe umhlalaphansi, osomaqhinga kanye nezifundiswa. kubhalelwe UMongameli uClinton ukuthi aphikisane nokwanda kwe-NATO, ekubiza ngokuthi iphutha lenqubomgomo "izilinganiso zomlando." Isikhulu sikahulumeni uGeorge Kennan ulahlwe “njengokuqala kwempi ebandayo entsha.”
- I-NATO yacasula iRussia ngokuphela kwayo isithembiso e-Ukraine ngo-2008 ukuthi izoba yilungu le-NATO. UWilliam Burns, owayeyiNxusa laseMelika eMoscow futhi manje osenguMqondisi we-CIA, uxwayise eMnyangweni Wezwe memo, "Ukungena kwe-Ukrainian ku-NATO kuwumugqa obomvu ogqamile kunayo yonke yezikhulu zaseRussia (hhayi nje uPutin)."
- The I-US isekele ukuketula umbuso e-Ukraine ngo-2014 owafaka uhulumeni ukuthi uhhafu kuphela abantu bayo waqaphela njengoba esemthethweni, okubangela ukuhlakazeka Ukraine futhi impi yombango ukuthi wabulawa Abantu abangu-14,000.
- The 2015 Minsk II Isivumelwano sokuthula sizuze ulayini ozinzile wokuqeda ukulwa futhi azinzile ukuncipha kwalimala, kodwa i-Ukraine yehlulekile ukunikeza ukuzimela eDonetsk naseLuhansk njengoba kwakuvunyelwene. Angela Merkel kanye noFrancois Holland manje bayavuma ukuthi abaholi baseNtshonalanga basekela uMinsk II kuphela ukuthenga isikhathi sokuthi i-NATO ihlome futhi iqeqeshe amasosha ase-Ukraine ukuthi abuyisele i-Donbas ngenkani.
- Phakathi nesonto ngaphambi kokuhlasela, abaqaphi be-OSCE eDonbas babhale ukwanda okukhulu kokuqhuma okuzungeze ulayini wokumiswa komlilo. Iningi le 4,093 ukuqhuma ngezinsuku ezine babesendaweni ephethwe amavukela-mbuso, okubonisa ukuthi amasosha kahulumeni wase-Ukraine ayezodubulana naye. Izikhulu zaseMelika kanye nezase-UK zithi lezi “ifulege lamanga” ukuhlasela, njengokungathi amabutho aseDonetsk naseLuhansk ayazidubula, njengoba nje kamuva asikisela ukuthi iRussia yaqhumisa awayo amapayipi.
- Ngemva kokuhlasela, esikhundleni sokusekela imizamo ye-Ukraine yokudala ukuthula, i-United States ne-United Kingdom yabavimba noma yabamisa endleleni yabo. U-Boris Johnson wase-UK uthe babone ithuba lokuthi "cindezela" I-Russia futhi ifuna ukukusebenzisa ngokugcwele, futhi uNobhala Wezokuvikela wase-US u-Austin wathi inhloso yabo kwakuwukuba “wenza buthaka” I-Russia.
Ngabe isakhamuzi esiqaphile nesinolwazi singenzani ngakho konke lokhu? Besingayigxeka ngokusobala iRussia ngokuhlasela i-Ukraine. Kodwa-ke kuthiwani? Impela singafuna futhi ukuthi abaholi bezepolitiki nabezempi baseMelika basitshele iqiniso ngale mpi enyantisayo neqhaza lezwe lethu kuyo, futhi sifune ukuthi abezindaba badlulisele iqiniso emphakathini. "Isakhamuzi esiqaphile futhi esinolwazi" sizobe sesifuna ukuthi uhulumeni wethu ayeke ukubhebhethekisa le mpi futhi esikhundleni salokho asekele izingxoxo zokuthula.
