Izimpi zaseMelika zangenkathi yangemva kwe-9/11 zibonakale ngokufa kwabantu base-US abaphansi, kodwa lokho akusho ukuthi zinodlame oluncane kunezimpi ezedlule, kuphawula uNicolas JS Davies.

NgeSonto eledlule ama-Oscar Awards aphazanyiswa ngu- umsebenzi we-propaganda ongahlangani ifaka umlingisi woMdabu waseMelika kanye nodokotela wezilwane wase-Vietnam, equkethe iqoqo leziqeshana ezivela kumamuvi empi yase-Hollywood.
Amabhokisi amasosha ase-US ashonile afika
I-Dover Air Force Base e-Delaware in
2006. (isithombe sikahulumeni wase-US)
Umlingisi, u-Wes Studi, uthe "walwela inkululeko" eVietnam. Kodwa noma ngubani onolwazi oluncane lwaleyo mpi, okuhlanganisa nezigidi zababukeli ababukele idokhumentari yeMpi YaseVietnam ka-Ken Burns, uyazi ukuthi kwakungabantu baseVietnam ababelwela inkululeko - kuyilapho u-Studi nozakwabo babelwa, bebulala futhi befa. , ngokuvamile ngesibindi nangezizathu ezingalungile, ukuphika abantu baseVietnam leyo nkululeko.
UStudi wethula amafilimu aseHollywood ayewakhombisa, okuhlanganisa “i-American Sniper,” “The Hurt Locker” kanye “Zero Dark Thirty,” ngamazwi athi, “Ake sithathe isikhashana ukuhlonipha lawa mafilimu anamandla akhanyisa kakhulu lawo mafilimu. abaye balwela inkululeko emhlabeni wonke.”
Ukuzenzisa izethameli ze-TV emhlabeni wonke ngo-2018 ukuthi umshini wempi wase-US "ulwela inkululeko" emazweni elihlaselayo noma elihlaselayo kwakuwubuwula obungangeza ukuhlambalaza ekulimaleni kwezigidi zabasinde ekuketulweni kombuso wase-US, ukuhlasela, imikhankaso yokuqhuma kwamabhomu kanye imisebenzi yezempi enobutha emhlabeni wonke.
Iqhaza lika-Wes Studi kulesi sethulo se-Orwellian kwenze kwangashayisani nakakhulu, njengoba abantu bakhe abangamaCherokee nabo bengabasinde ekuhlanzweni kohlanga lwaseMelika kanye nokuxoshwa ngenkani ku-Trail of Tears kusukela eNyakatho Carolina, lapho ababehlale khona amakhulu noma mhlawumbe izinkulungwane zeminyaka, ukuze E-Oklahoma lapho u-Studi azalelwa khona.
Ngokungafani nezihambeli eNgqungqutheleni Kazwelonke yeDemokhrasi ka-2016 ezaqhuma izingoma zokuthi “ayikho impi” emibukisweni yezempi, okuhle nokuhle kweHollywood kwabonakala kungenakuqhathaniswa nalokhu kuhlangana okuyinqaba. Bambalwa kubo abakushayele ihlombe, kodwa akekho noyedwa owaphikisayo.
Ukusuka eDunkirk kuya e-Iraq naseSyria
Mhlawumbe abesilisa abamhlophe asebekhulile abasaqhuba i-"Academy" baqhutshelwa kulo mbukiso wezempi ngenxa yokuthi amafilimu amabili aqokelwe ama-Oscars kwakungamafilimu empi. Kodwa womabili angamafilimu akhuluma nge-UK eminyakeni yokuqala yeMpi Yezwe Yesibili - izindaba zabantu baseBrithani abamelana nobudlova baseJalimane, hhayi abantu baseMelika abakwenzayo.
Njengabadlali abaningi basesinema abaya “ngehora elihle kakhulu” lase-UK, womabili lawa mafilimu asekelwe ku-akhawunti kaWinston Churchill ngeMpi Yezwe Yesibili nendima yakhe kuyo. UChurchill wathunyelwa yonke indawo ngabavoti baseBrithani ngo-1945, ngaphambi kokuba impi iphele, njengoba amasosha aseBrithani nemindeni yawo esikhundleni salokho avotela “umhlaba ofanele amaqhawe” owathenjiswa iLabour Party, izwe lapho abacebile babezohlanganyela khona imihlatshelo. abampofu, ngokuthula njengasempini, neNational Health Service kanye nobulungiswa bezenhlalakahle kubo bonke.
Kubikwa ukuthi uChurchill ududuze ikhabhinethi yakhe emhlanganweni wawo wokugcina, wathi, "Ningesabi, Madoda, umlando uzoba nomusa kithi - ngoba ngizowubhala." Wenza kanjalo, eqinisa indawo yakhe emlandweni futhi evala ama-akhawunti abucayi kakhulu ngeqhaza le-UK empini yizazi-mlando ezifana AJP Taylor e-UK kanye DF Fleming e-US
Uma i-Military Industrial Complex kanye ne-Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences bezama ukuxhuma lezi zingoma ze-Churchillian nezimpi zamanje zaseMelika, kufanele baqaphele ukuthi bafisa ini. Abantu abaningi emhlabeni jikelele badinga ukwaziswa okuncane ukuze bakhombe i-German Stukas kanye ne-Heinkels eqhumisa ibhomu i-Dunkirk ne-London ne-US kanye nama-F-16s ahlangene aqhumisa i-Afghanistan, i-Iraq, i-Syria ne-Yemen, kanye namasosha ase-British abuthene ogwini lolwandle e-Dunkirk nababaleki abangenayo. ukukhubeka ogwini eLesbos naseLampedusa.
Ukukhipha Ingaphandle Udlame Lwempi
Eminyakeni eyi-16 edlule, i-US ihlasele, yathatha futhi yehla Ama-200,000 amabhomu kanye nemicibisholo emazweni ayisikhombisa, kodwa ilahlekelwe kuphela Kwabulawa amasosha aseMelika angu-6,939 futhi abangu-50,000 58,000 balimala kulezi zimpi. Ukubeka lokhu esimweni somlando wamasosha ase-US, amasosha angu-54,000 ase-US abulawa eVietnam, angu-405,000 eKorea, angu-116,000 eMpini Yezwe Yesibili kanye ne-XNUMX eMpini Yezwe Yokuqala.
Kodwa izisulu eziphansi zase-US akusho ukuthi izimpi zethu zamanje zinobudlova obuncane kunezimpi zangaphambilini. Izimpi zethu zangemva kuka-2001 cishe sezibulele phakathi kwe-2 kanye nabantu abayizigidi ezi-5. Ukusetshenziswa kwamabhomu amakhulu asemoyeni kanye nezikhali kuye kwanciphisa amadolobha afana ne-Fallujah, iRamadi, iSirte, i-Kobane, i-Mosul ne-Raqqa ukuba ibe yimfucumfucu, futhi izimpi zethu ziye zafaka imiphakathi yonke ebudloveni nasezinxushunxushwini ezingapheli.
Kodwa ngokuqhumisa amabhomu nokudubula kude ngezikhali ezinamandla kakhulu, i-US ibulale konke lokhu kubulala nokucekela phansi ngezinga eliphansi ngokumangalisayo labantu abalimala base-US. Ukwakhiwa kwempi kwezobuchwepheshe kwe-US akukunciphisanga udlame kanye nokwesabeka kwempi, kodwa "kukhiphe ngaphandle", okungenani okwesikhashana.
Kodwa ingabe lawa mazinga aphansi abantu abalimala amelela uhlobo “lwejwayelekile entsha” i-US engakwazi ukuyiphindaphinda noma nini lapho ihlasela noma ihlasela amanye amazwe? Ingabe ingakwazi ukuqhubeka ilwa emhlabeni wonke futhi ihlale ivikelekile ezenzweni ezesabekayo ezizidedela kwabanye?
Noma ingabe izinga eliphansi labantu abalimala e-US kulezi zimpi ngokumelene nebutho lezempi elibuthaka uma kuqhathaniswa nabalweli bezempi abangahlomile abanikeza abaseMelika isithombe esingamanga sempi, leso esihlotshiswe ngentshiseko yiHollywood kanye nabezindaba zebhizinisi?
Noma i-US ilahlekelwa ngamasosha angama-900-1,000 abulawa e-Iraq nase-Afghanistan unyaka ngamunye ukusuka ku-2004 kuya ku-2007, kwaba nenkulumompikiswano yomphakathi eminingi kanye nokuphikiswa ngamazwi ngempi kunamanje, kodwa lawo bekusengamazinga aphansi kakhulu abantu abalimala ngokomlando.
Abaholi bezempi baseMelika banengqondo kakhulu kunozakwabo abangabahlali. UGeneral Dunford, onguSihlalo weJoint Chiefs of Staff, utshele iCongress ukuthi uhlelo lwe-US lokulwa neNyakatho Korea luhlose ukuhlasela komhlaba Korea, ngempumelelo iMpi Yesibili YaseKorea. IPentagon kumele ibe nesilinganiso senani lamasosha ase-US okungenzeka ukuthi abulawe futhi alimale ngaphansi kohlelo lwayo, futhi abantu baseMelika kufanele bagcizelele ukuthi kwenze lokho kulinganisa kube esidlangalaleni ngaphambi kokuba abaholi baseMelika bathathe isinqumo sokusungula impi enjalo.
Elinye izwe i-US, Israel kanye neSaudi Arabia abalokhu besabisa ngokulihlasela noma ukulihlasela yi-Iran. UMongameli Obama ukuvumile kwasekuqaleni lokho I-Iran bekuyinhloso yasu yokugcina yempi yommeleli weCIA eSyria.
Abaholi bakwa-Israel nabaseSaudi basabisa ngokusobala impi e-Iran, kodwa balindele ukuthi i-US ilwe ne-Iran egameni labo. Osopolitiki baseMelika badlala kanye nalo mdlalo oyingozi, ongabulala izinkulungwane zabantu babo. Lokhu kuzoguqula imfundiso yendabuko yase-US yempi yommeleli ekhanda layo, iguqule ngempumelelo amasosha ase-US abe ibutho elibamba iqhaza elilwela izintshisekelo ezingachazwanga kahle zakwa-Israyeli neSaudi Arabia.
I-Iran icishe iphindwe izikhathi ezi-4 kunobukhulu be-Iraq, inabantu bayo abangaphezu kokuphindwe kabili. Inebutho eliqinile le-500,000 futhi amashumi eminyaka yayo yokuzimela kanye nokuhlukaniswa neNtshonalanga iyiphoqe ukuthi ithuthukise imboni yayo yezikhali, ingezwe ngezikhali ezithile ezithuthukisiwe zaseRussia naseShayina.
Esihlokweni mayelana ithemba lempi yase-US e-Iran, UMajor Wezempi WaseMelika uDanny Sjursen ukuchithile ukwesaba kosopolitiki baseMelika nge-Iran ngokuthi “kuyathusa” futhi wabiza umphathi wakhe, uNobhala Wezokuvikela uMatis, “ukhathazeke kakhulu” nge-Iran. U-Sjursen ukholelwa ukuthi abantu base-Irani "abanobuzwe obunobuzwe" bazokwenqaba ngokuqinile futhi ngempumelelo ukumelana nomsebenzi wangaphandle, futhi uphetha ngokuthi, "Ungalenzi iphutha, ukusebenza kwezempi yase-US e-Islamic Republic kuzokwenza ukuba i-Iraq, kube kanye, ibukeke 'njenge-cakewalk. ' kwabe sekuthiwa kube njalo."
Ingabe Le “Mpi Yomgunyathi” YaseMelika?
Ukuhlasela iNorth Korea noma i-Iran kungenza izimpi zase-US e-Iraq nase-Afghanistan zibukeke ngemuva njengokuhlasela kwamaJalimane eCzechoslovakia nasePoland kumele ngabe kwabheka amasosha aseJalimane ngaphambili eMpumalanga eminyakeni embalwa kamuva. Amasosha angu-18,000 16,000 kuphela aseJalimane abulawa ekuhlaselweni kweCzechoslovakia kanye ne-7 ekuhlaselweni kwePoland. Kodwa impi enkulu abayiholile yabulala amaJalimane ayizigidi ezingu-7 futhi yalimaza abanye abayizigidi ezingu-XNUMX.
Ngemva kokuncishwa kweMpi Yezwe Yokuqala kwehlise iJalimane yaba yisimo esicishe sabulawa yindlala futhi kwaqhubeza iButho Lasemanzini LaseJalimane ukuba livukele, u-Adolf Hitler wayezimisele, njengabaholi baseMelika namuhla, ukugcina inkohliso yokuthula nokuchuma ekhaya. Abantu abasanda kunqotshwa beReich yeminyaka eyinkulungwane bangahlupheka, kodwa hhayi amaJalimane ezweni.
UHitler waphumelela ukugcina izinga lokuphila eJalimane mayelana nezinga layo langaphambi kwempi eminyakeni emibili yokuqala yempi, yaze yaqala ukunciphisa izindleko zempi ngo-1940 ukuze kuthuthukiswe umnotho wezakhamuzi. IJalimane yamukela kuphela umnotho wempi ophelele lapho amandla ayo ayenqobile ngaphambili eshaya udonga lwezitini lokumelana eSoviet Union. Kungenzeka yini ukuthi abantu baseMelika baphila “ngempi yomgunyathi” efanayo, ukungabaza okukodwa kude nokushaqeka okufanayo ngeqiniso elinonya lezimpi esizidalele emhlabeni?
Umphakathi waseMelika ungasabela kanjani uma inani elikhulu kakhulu labantu baseMelika libulawa eKorea noma e-Iran - noma eVenezuela? Noma ngisho naseSyria uma i-US kanye nabalingani bayo belandela lokho uhlele ukuthatha iSyria ngokungemthetho ngasempumalanga ye-Ewufrathe?
Futhi baphi abaholi bethu bezombangazwe kanye nemithombo yezindaba ye-jingoistic esiholela ngenkulumo-ze yabo elokhu ikhula ngokumelene namaRussia kanye namaShayina? Bazothatha kude kangakanani i-nuclear brinksmanship? Ngabe osopolitiki baseMelika bazokwazi ngaphambi kokuthi kuphuze kakhulu uma bewela iphuzu lokungabuyi ekuhlakazweni kwabo kwezivumelwano zenuzi zeMpi Yomshoshaphansi kanye nokungezwani okwandayo neRussia neChina?
Imfundiso ka-Obama yempi yomshoshaphansi kanye ne-proxy impi yayiyimpendulo ekuphenduleni komphakathi kulokho empeleni okwakuyizisulu eziphansi zaseMelika e-Afghanistan nase-Iraq. Kepha u-Obama walwa ngokuthula, hhayi ukulwa nabashibhile. Ngaphansi kwesithombe sakhe esishubile, wanciphisa ngempumelelo ukusabela komphakathi ekubhebhethekeni kwakhe kwempi e-Afghanistan, izimpi zakhe zabameleli eLibya, eSyria, e-Ukraine naseYemen, ukwanda kwakhe emhlabeni jikelele kwemisebenzi ekhethekile neziteleka ze-drone kanye nomkhankaso omkhulu wokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu e-Iraq. kanye neSiriya.
Bangaki abantu baseMelika abaziyo ukuthi umkhankaso wokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu u-Obama awethula e-Iraq naseSyria ngo-2014 bekuwumkhankaso onzima kunawo wonke waseMelika wokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu emhlabeni wonke kusukela eVietnam? Bangaphezu kuka-105,000 amabhomu nemicibisholo, kanye nokungakhethi Amarokhethi ase-US, French kanye ne-Iraqi kanye nezikhali, baqhumise izinkulungwane zemizi eMosul, Raqqa, Fallujah, Ramadi kanye nenqwaba yamadolobhana amancane namadolobhana. Kanye nokubulala izinkulungwane zama-Islamic State fighters, cishe babulele okungenani izakhamuzi eziyi-100,000, ubugebengu bempi obuhlelekile obudlule cishe ngaphandle kokuphawula kwabezindaba zaseNtshonalanga.
“…Futhi Sekuhlwile”
Ngabe umphakathi waseMelika uzosabela kanjani uma uTrump eqala izimpi ezintsha ngokumelene neNyakatho Korea noma i-Iran, futhi izinga labashona e-US libuyela ezingeni “elivamile” elingokomlando - mhlawumbe i-10,000 yaseMelika ibulawa unyaka nonyaka, njengaphakathi neminyaka ephezulu yeMpi YaseMelika eVietnam. , noma ngisho nezi-100,000 ngonyaka, njengasempini yase-US eMpini Yezwe Yesibili? Noma kuthiwani uma enye yezimpi zethu eziningi ekugcineni ikhula ibe impi yenuzi, ngezinga eliphezulu lokubulawa kwabantu e-US kunanoma iyiphi impi edlule emlandweni wethu?
Encwadini yakhe yakudala ka-1994, Ikhulu Leminyaka Lempi, uGabriel Kolko ongasekho wachaza,
"Labo abaphikisa ukuthi impi nokuzilungiselela akudingekile ukuba khona kwe-capitalism noma ukuchuma baphuthele iphuzu ngokuphelele: akukaze kusebenze nganoma iyiphi enye indlela esikhathini esidlule futhi akukho lutho okwamanje oluqinisekisa ukucabanga ukuthi amashumi eminyaka ezayo. kuzoba okuhlukile. ”…
Kuphetha uKolko,
“Kodwa azikho izixazululo ezilula ezinkingeni zabaholi abanganaki, abaduki nezigaba abazimelayo, noma ukungabaza kwabantu ukuguqula ubuwula bezwe ngaphambi kokuba bona babhekane nemiphumela yako ebuhlungu. Kuningi okusamele kwenziwe – futhi sekuhlwile.”
Abaholi baseMelika abadukisiwe abazi lutho ngokuxoxisana ngaphandle kobuxhwanguxhwangu kanye ne-brinksmanship. Njengoba behlanza ingqondo yabo kanye nomphakathi ngenkohliso yempi ngaphandle kwabalimala, bazoqhubeka bebulala, becekela phansi futhi bebeka engcupheni ikusasa lethu size sibavimbe - noma baze basimise nakho konke okunye.
Umbuzo obalulekile namuhla ngowokuthi ngabe umphakathi waseMelika ungahlanganisa yini intando yezepolitiki ukuze udonse izwe lethu onqenqemeni lwenhlekelele enkulu yezempi kunale esesiyidalulile ezigidini zomakhelwane bethu.
