Isolationism noma Imperialalism: Ngempela Awunakucabangi Ngendlela Eyesithathu?

Emibintweni emikhulu yamalungelo abantu e-United Nations '18, e-United States uyingxenye I-5, ingaphansi kunoma yisiphi esinye isizwe emhlabeni, ngaphandle kweBhutan (4), futhi ihlanganiswe ne-Malaysia, iMyanmar, neSouth Sudan, izwe eliqothulwa yimpi kusukela ekudalweni kwayo ku-2011. I-United States yiyona kuphela isizwe emhlabeni esingavumelanga lo Mhlangano Emalungelo Ezingane. Yilo lizwe elilodwa kuphela eliye lakhishwa eSivumelwaneni sezulu saseParis. Kungenxa yezindlela eziningi umonakalo ophezulu wemvelo yemvelo, okwamanje ube ngumholi ku ukuxhaphaza izingxoxo zokuvikelwa kwesimo sezulu amashumi eminyaka. Amazwe ayisikhombisa kanye ne-European Union bavumelanise ne-Iran namandla enuzi, kodwa i-United States ihluke ngokukhethekile. UMongameli uDonald Trump usongela ukuhoxisa, futhi iCongress isongela ukuyivumela, kusukela ekuhlanganisweni okukhulu kwezikhali zenuzi ezifinyelelwe nguRonald Reagan noMikhail Gorbachev.

I-United States ayihlali nje ngaphandle kweNkantolo Yomhlaba Yomthetho, kodwa ngokuvulekile usongela izigwebo ngokumelene nalo kanye nezizwe ezisekelayo. I-United States iholela ekuphikeleni umbuso weZizwe Ezihlangene futhi ibeka kalula irekhodi lokusebenzisa i-veto eMkhandlwini wezokuPhepha phakathi neminyaka eyi-50 eyedlule, ivulele i-UN ukulahla ubandlululo lwaseNingizimu Afrika, izimpi zika-Israyeli nemisebenzi, izikhali zamakhemikhali kanye nezidakamizwa, ukuqhuma kwezikhali zenuzi kanye nokusetshenziswa kokuqala nokusetshenziswa kwamazwe angewona enyukliya, izimpi zase-US eNicaragua naseGrenada nasePanama, i-embargo yase-US eCuba, ukubulawa kobuhlanga baseRwanda, ukuthunyelwa kwezikhali endaweni yangaphandle, njll.

Ngokuphambene nombono odumile, i-United States ayiyona insizakalo ehola yokusiza ekuhluphekeni kwezwe, hhayi njengephesenti imali engenayo kazwelonke or i-capita noma ngisho nenani eliphelele lama-dollar. Ngokungafani namanye amazwe, i-United States ibalwa njenge-40 amaphesenti alo okuthiwa usizo, izikhali zamabutho angaphandle. Usizo lwawo wonke luqondiswa emigomweni yalo yempi, futhi izinqubomgomo zalo zokufuduka sekuyisikhathi eside zihlotshaniswa nombala wesikhumba, futhi maduzane ezungeze inkolo, hhayi ezidinga izidingo zabantu - ngaphandle mhlawumbe ngokuphambene nalokho, ngokugxila ekwakhiweni nasezindongeni zokwakha ukujezisa kakhulu .

Ukugcina umongo ongenhla, kukhulunywe ngaso isikhathi eside lapha, engqondweni, ake sengezele kuso elinye iqoqo lamaqiniso. Abavikeli abangabambiswanga ngabasosha nabasebenzi bezokuthula abavela emabenjini afana nawo I-Peaceforce ye-Nonviolent belokhu befaka iminyaka eminingi ukuthi abantu bangakwazi ukufeza okuningi ngaphandle kwezibhamu kunabo. Ucwaningo olujulile lwemikhankaso enobudlova nolunempi phezu kwekhulu leminyaka elidlule kuhlelwe kahle ukuthi imizamo engavamile yokuzikhandla ingase iphumelele futhi lezo mpumelelo ziqiniseke ukuthi zihlala isikhathi eside. Ukuvumelana kuye kwaqala ngisho nasesikhungweni sezempi ukuthi okuningi okwenziwa yizigqila okungahambi kahle ngokwemibandela yayo, kangangokuthi "asikho isisombululo sezempi" sekuyi-mantra edingekayo ukuba iphindwe ngokungenangqondo kodwa iphindwe ngokuphindaphindiwe yilabo abazama ukuxazulula izikhali. I Amathuluzi yokubambisana, ukubambisana, usizo, ukutshalwa kwezimali okungenasidingo, ukulawulwa komthetho, ukuxazulula izingxabano ezinamakhono, ukulwa nezikhali nokuguqulwa kokuthula kuye kwaba ngcono kakhulu futhi kuqondwa kahle, uma kungenakucatshangwa noma kuqashwe noma kukhulunywa kabanzi.

Manje, ukugcina konke lokho engqondweni, ingabe kukhona okukuthinta njengokungavamile mayelana nezikhalazo ezihoxisa amasosha ase-US empini yindlela "yokuzihlukanisa"? Ingabe kukhona okungajwayelekile mayelana nabantu abaningi abangithumelela nge-imeyili ukuba balahle ukuphikisana okuhleliwe kwe-NATO njengoba, wena waziqagela, "ukuzihlukanisa"? Eminyakeni emihlanu eyedlule, kwaba khona impikiswano mayelana nokuthi ibhomu laseSiriya lizophanga yini, futhi labo abaphikisana nabo besolwa ngokuthi "ukuzihlukanisa." Manje umqondo wokudonsa amasosha eSiriya noma e-Afghanistan noma ukuyeka ukusiza ibhomu nokulamba abantu baseYemen sibhekene nokuhlukunyezwa okufanayo. I-Trump ithembise ukuthi ukugcina umsebenzi we-Iraq uyaqondakala njengokuthi "ukusebenzisana nezwe" okuqinisekisayo ngabantu abafuna ukuphela komsebenzi wase-Iraq ngesikhathi uGeorge W. Bush engumongameli, futhi ngubani ozenza sengathi uyigubha ukuphela kwayo lapho uBarack Obama ezenza sengathi ukuqeda.

Lokhu ukucabanga okulula okucatshangelwayo ngokweqile, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi izimangalo zalo ziphikisa. "Ngimelene nempi kodwa asikwazi ukululaza ngakho futhi nje kuphela ukuphela komunye wabo, ngokushiya abahlanganyeli bethu." Lona uhlobo lolimi olusetshenziselwa ukusekela imperialism enkulumweni enkulu phakathi kokuzihlukanisa kanye nokungena kwe-imperialism, impikiswano ixhomeke ngokuphelele ekuqapheleni okungenangqondo ukuthi lezi zikhetho ezimbili zihlanganisa uhla olugcwele lwazo zokuziphatha kwabantu.

Iningi labantu alisekho ukuwa kwe-sophistry lapho kuziwa ezombusazwe zasekhaya. "Ingabe kufanele sigweme abasebenzisi bezidakamizwa noma siyikhiphe?" Impendulo ecacile ethi "Cha, akufanele senze noma yiziphi zalezo zinto," empeleni kwenzeka kubantu abaningi abangaphambuki. "Ingabe kufanele sivumele ukuhweba noma ukubopha ezitolo zabo zonke izimpilo zabo?" Lo mbuzo ngakho ngokungazelelwe uyisiphukuphuku ukuthi uzobheka abanye abantu babuze ukuthi ukuphendulwa kokudala: "Kungani ungagcini ububha? Akufani nathi asinayo imali eningi yokwenza lokho! "Kodwa kuthiwani ngombuzo othi:" Ingabe kufanele sigcine amasosha ase-US ahlanganyele kulezi zimpini noma azinaki futhi alahleke futhi akhohlwe futhi ashiye abantu lapho? " , manje sinombuzo owubuwula oye waphindwa kaningi, izikhathi eziningi ukuthi kunzima ukuzwa ubuwula bawo.

Unyaka ngamunye lapho impi iba khona ngokubi nakakhulu lapho kuqhubeka ngandlela-thile ukuhluleka ukufaka ubufakazi obuqinekayo bokuthi akufanele kuqhutshekwe. Unyaka odlule wempi e-Afghanistan ube ngowenye yezinto ezibulalayo, kodwa ukwesaba ukuthi izinto zingase zihambe kabi ngemuva kokuba amabutho ase-US ashiye lokho okumele asithinte. Futhi akufanele sibe namandla okukwenza lutho ngalokhu ngaphandle kokukhulisa amabhomu noma ukugwema amehlo ethu ukugxila ekusola i-peaceniks. Nansi omunye umqondo engicabanga ukuthi uhlongozwa ngakho njalo ngenxa yokuthi abantu abaningi bayakuthola kungenakucabangeki noma bakuthole kubonakale behlupha ukuthi: Kuthiwani uma sizama ukuzama ukulwa nokuzihlukanisa kwangempela?

Kuthiwani uma i-United States ingasayina futhi iqinise futhi ihambisane nemithetho emikhulu yomhlaba, isekele izinhlelo zezwe zobulungiswa, ibambisane nesidlalwane (kubandakanya izivumelwano zokuvimbela izikhali zenuzi), uhlanganyele ekuvikeleni kwesimo sezulu, unikeze usizo olungakaze lwenzeke (isibalo sokuqhathaniswa nokusetshenziswa kwempi), ukugxila emncintiswaneni wezingalo eziguquguqukayo, ukugqugquzela izinhlangano zeZizwe Ezihlangene, ukubamba iqhaza ekuhlolweni kweqiniso nokubuyisana, ukutshala izimali zokuvikela ukuthula, ukuyeka ukulwa nokulwa nokuhlukumezeka, futhi empeleni kubuyisele intando yeningi phesheya futhi ngokwabo isibonelo?

Indodana yesigungu esiphezulu i-United States imisele i-Iran ilindele ngethemba eBethesda, Maryland, ukuthi i-US elandelayo ichithwe uhulumeni wase-Iranian, kuyilapho i-Iran ingakhethi iNkosi yaseMelika. Kuthiwani uma i-United States yeka ukukhathazeka ngezizwe ezinamandla futhi igxila ekuqedeni ukuba yinye?

Kodwa, ungase uphikelele, akukho nhlobo yale fantasy ezokwenzeka kuleli sonto, kuyilapho okwamanje amaKurds azobulawa ngaphandle kwabangane bawo baseMelika. Emuva lapha ezweni langempela, lapho i-United States nezivumelwano zayo zizoqhubeka zikhukhula eMpumalanga Ephakathi ngezikhali futhi zisebenzisa impi njengenqubomgomo yangaphandle, impi ngayinye kufanele iqhubeke kuze kube yilapho. . . kahle, kuze kube yinto engaba khona, noma uJesu ebuya lapho evela khona, noma amaDemokhrasi ethatha isihlalo sobukhosi kodwa angenzi, uyazi, amaDemokhrasi ayelokhu enza, noma into! Yiqiniso, sonke siyazi ukuthi yini ezoba khona: ukuwa kwesimo sezulu, iMpumalanga Ephakathi ukuba ingabi nendawo yokuhlala kubantu, kanye nezinhlekelele zezulu ezimbi kakhulu ezingxenyeni eziningi zezwe. Futhi impendulo kulokhu okushaqisayo uma ukuthuthukiswa okubikezeleke ngokuphelele futhi okubikezelwe kuyoba ubudlova noma ukungabi naluvolonti, kuye ngokuthi yini esesimweni esicabanga ukuthi ijwayelekile noma "yemvelo" noma "engenakugwemeka."

Njengoba kunikezwe ukuthi kubaluleke kangakanani ukuphila komuntu, njengoba nje umengameli wase-United States enikezwa kancane kancane amandla ombuso njengokuthi izinkulungwane zabantu zingathathwa yi-tweet, sibophezelekile ngempela ukuba sinciphise ukucabanga kwethu okwesikhashana ukuze (a) "ukusekela amasosha" ngokuwagcina ehlane ehambisa izibhamu nabantu, noma (b) "ukushiya" abantu? Kungani ungafuni kuhulumeni wase-US kanye / noma ezinye izizwe ezibhekisela ekunakekeleni ngabantu, isimemezelo esisheshayo sokuphela kokuhweba kwezikhali, ukuvulwa kwezinkulumo zezobuchwepheshe nazo zonke izingxenye ezifanele, ukuqala kohlelo olukhulu losizo, nokusekelwa Uhlelo olusha olukhulu ezingasetshenziswanga ukulondoloza ukuthula ngokubambisana komuntu ohloniphekile noma uma kungenzeka ngokusebenzisa iZizwe Ezihlangene lapho i-United States ibamba i-veto?

Ukunye okunjalo emgodini we-imperialism-noma-isolationism akusekho nzima ukucabanga noma ukwenza okuthile kunokwelapha ukulutha izidakamizwa noma ubugebengu noma ububha njengesizathu sokusiza abantu esikhundleni sokubajezisa. Okuphambene nokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu abantu akubakhathazi. Okuphambene nokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu abantu kubamukela. Ngezindinganiso zezinkampani zokuxhumana zase-US eSwitzerland kumele kube yizwe elizihlukanisa kakhulu ngoba alijoyina ekuqhubhiseni umuntu. Iqiniso lokuthi lisekela ukulawulwa komthetho nokubambisana komhlaba wonke, futhi imibuthano yezizwe ezifuna ukusebenza ndawonye ayifanele. Kuthiwani ngonyaka omusha okungenani sizama ukucabanga okusha okusha?
