Sawubona Bangane,
Lingakapheli isonto silibangisa eRussia ngesikhathi esiyingozi kakhulu. Amasosha angaba ngu-31,000 e-NATO ahlomile azimise emazweni aseBaltic futhi enza “izindlela zempi” ezingakaze zibonwe elungiselela ukuthathwa kweRussia kwalezi zifundazwe ezintathu ezincane. Imikhumbi yempi emikhulu iye yabekwa endaweni ezungeze umngcele waseRussia, inani elikhulu lemishini yezempi selilungele ukusetshenziswa. (BTW, abukho ubufakazi obuncane bokuthi iRussia inenhloso yokuthatha isentimitha endaweni yamazwe aseBaltic.)
Ukuze uqonde ukungathi sína kwakho konke, lalela Juni 8 podcast wengxoxo ka-John Batchelor Show noProfessor Steve Cohen, isazi-mlando esingaphikisiwe saseMelika kanye nochwepheshe kuzo zonke izici zobudlelwano be-US-USSR/Russia.
UCohen kanye nabanye ochwepheshe base-US kulo mkhakha bashaqekile kakhulu ngokuthi lo mbukiso we-NATO wamandla ungase ube yisandulela seMpi Yezwe Yesithathu, ngengozi noma ngenhloso.
U-VV Putin ukubeke kwacaca ukuthi iRussia ayisoze yaqala impi, ukuthi amasosha aseRussia avikela kuphela; kodwa uma imicibisholo ecitshwayo noma amabhuzu ehlala emhlabathini waseRussia, iRussia “izosabela izikhali zenuzi.” Kuleli sonto uthe uma kukhona impi endaweni yaseRussia, amazwe avumele ukufakwa kwemicibisholo ye-NATO ezindaweni zawo azoba “sezindaweni ezihlukene,” ngaleyo ndlela axwayise lawa mazwe ukuthi azoba ngabokuqala ukubhujiswa. Ngaphezu kwalokho, uPutin uxwayise i-NATO ukuthi izinhloso zaseRussia zizofaka iNyakatho Melika.
Ngokwazi kwami, akukho kulokhu okukhulunywa ngakho ezindabeni ezijwayelekile zaseMelika, hhayi kumabonakude noma emithonjeni yezindaba. Ngokuphambene, iziteshi zezindaba zomhlaba wonke naseRussia yonkana zimboza ukuphawula okusabisayo kojenene bethu kanye nePentagon nsuku zonke. Ngakho-ke thina bantu baseMelika siphakathi kwabantu abangenalo ulwazi mayelana nalezi zenzakalo eziyingozi.
Umhlaba awukaze usondele ku-WWIII kunale nyanga.
Nokho baseMelika abalazi leli qiniso.
Ngenkinga ye-missile yaseCuba, abantu baseMelika baqonda ukuthi kungenzeka yini.
Ngokwesaba kwawo-1980, izakhamizi zaseMelika zasabela ngokushesha futhi iWashington yaqaphela.

Mayelana nohambo lwangoJuni, ubani ongafuna ukuya eRussia phakathi nalesi sikhathi?
Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi iqembu elinesibindi kakhulu labantu libonise lolu hambo—iqembu labahambi abanesibindi kakhulu i-CCI esebenze nabo kuze kube manje. Abaningi bashiye imisebenzi yezobunhloli be-CIA, izikhulu zezombusazwe kanye nezikhundla zezempi ukuze bakhulume "izindaba zabo zikanembeza" mayelana nokuqondisa kwezwe lethu kanye nezimpi zakamuva. Omunye, uRay McGovern, wayengumbiko we-CIA nsuku zonke eRussia eya eHhovisi le-Oval koMongameli abambalwa baseMelika iminyaka engaphezu kwamashumi amabili. Yena nabanye abahambi bamanje abazange bahlehle ekungaziwa ngemuva kokushiya izikhala zabo, kodwa bathathe “Ukukhuluma Iqiniso Lamandla.” Ngakho-ke lolu hambo luwuchungechunge lwabantu baseMelika abanokuqonda nabanokuziphatha okuhle.
Okokuqala siya eMoscow, bese siya eCrimea (ngokuvakashela eSimferopol, Yalta naseSevastopol), eduze kwaseKrasnodar futhi ekugcineni eSt. Ngimise imihlangano nezikhulu, izintatheli, i-TV & print media, ama-Rotarian, osomabhizinisi bazo zonke izinhlobo edolobheni ngalinye, i-oligarch yesifunda esencane, “enhle” e-Krasnodar, abaholi be-NGO, amaqembu entsha kanye nezindawo ezahlukahlukene zamasiko/zomlando. edolobheni ngalinye. Ngeke silale kakhulu, okuyinto evamile ohambweni lwe-CCI.
Sihlela ukubandakanya abantu baseRussia ukuze sinciphise imibono engajwayelekile futhi sakhe ukuhwebelana phakathi kwethu namadolobha ethu, sinethemba lokwakha kabusha amabhuloho abantu kuwo wonke amazinga. Isebenze ngeminyaka yawo-1980s, ingaphinda isebenze namuhla––uma sinesikhathi esanele. Ngaphezu kwalokho, sinezinye izinhlelo zokusheshisa inqubo lapho sibuya.
Sifuna ukuhamba nawe kulolu hambo! Kaningi ngangokunokwenzeka, sizothumela izibuyekezo zesikhathi sangempela, okuhlanganisa ukulandisa, izithombe, neziqeshana zevidiyo, kuwebhusayithi yethu: ccisf.org. Sizophinde sithumele ama-imeyili ohlwini lwethu lwe-imeyili, nakuba singavamile ukwedlula izibuyekezo zewebhusayithi.

Bangane abathandekayo be-CCI nabasekeli abavela ezweni lonke, sebenzisani izingqondo zenu zokudala ukwazisa abantu baseMelika abaningi ngangokunokwenzeka ukuthi AKUMELE singathengi ezinganekwaneni zokuthi iRussia iyisizwe esibi okufanele sinqotshwe noma sibhujiswe. Lokhu "ukuzenzisa" okuvela kulabo abasezindaweni eziphakeme abanezindlela zokucabanga zakudala kanye nalabo abahlomula ngokwezezimali ngandlela thize ngokudala isitha futhi. Abaningi abazange balubeke unyawo eRussia iminyaka, uma kwenzeka.
Njengoba wazi, ngingena futhi ngiphuma ezifundeni eziningi zaseRussia izikhathi ezimbalwa ngonyaka. Ngiyawazi umlando waseRussia, amaphutha ayo, imizamo yayo yokujoyina izwe lanamuhla elisheshayo eminyakeni engama-25 nje yokwenqaba ubuKhomanisi. Yebo akukhona lapho iMelika noma iYurophu ikhona namuhla; kungaba kanjani? Kodwa ngingakutshela ukuthi ngiyamangala ukuthi amaRussia afike kude futhi ngokushesha njengawo. Futhi angiboni lutho olubi ngeRussia yanamuhla noma ubuholi bayo. Kungiphatha kabi ukubona ukugxekwa okungalungile nokungalungile okunikezwa kuzo zonke izinto zesiRashiya ngabantu baseMelika abangalokothi baye lapho ukuze bazibonele ngokwabo––kanye nemali eyenziwa ababhali abangabaqondisi bezihlalo zengalo abaqhamuka nazo zonke izinhlobo zemibono engenabufakazi ngeRussia. .
Ingxenye enkulu yaseMelika, okuhlanganisa abangani bakho, omakhelwane kanye nozakwenu kwezamabhizinisi baye bangena ekuqhumeni kwabezindaba okuqhubekayo ngokumelene neRussia kumabonakude nakumaphephandaba––ngenkathi ukusinda kwethu kuncike ekwazini ukuthi iRussia isiyizwe eliyinkimbinkimbi elicishe lilingane nelethu esinalo. ingabambisana futhi ibe khona ndawonye kule planethi encane.
Yini esingayenza mina nawe ukuze siguqule lesi simo sengqondo—ngisho nabanye esisebenzisana nabo? Qala "i-buzz." Buza izihloko zezindaba nabantu bakini, buza ukuthi bacabangani. KUMELE sithole isibindi sokufundisa, ukubuza kanye nokukhanyisela labo abasizungezile––ushintsho luzokwenzeka kanjani? Ngeke ivele phezulu, lokhu kuqinisekile.
Esikhathini esidlule sasikholelwa inkulumo-ze yangaphambili eyasiyisa ezimpini. Empini yaseVietnam, izimpilo zabantu abasha baseMelika ezingama-58,000 zaqedwa kwathi abangama-4,000,000 baseVietnam basala beshonile ngenxa yomsebenzi owodwa “wefulegi lamanga” laseMelika olwenziwa ukuze kuthethelelwe ukuthi i-US iya kuleyo mpi. Ngo-2003 abantu baseMelika abaningi bakholelwa ukuthi uBush II mayelana ne-WMD e-Iraq futhi basekela ukuya empini yokulinganisa lelo zwe. Awekho ama-WMD atholakele lapho, kodwa manje izigidi zezimpilo sezithathiwe, izigidi ezengeziwe zaxoshwa, futhi sibhekene ne-blowback esabekayo eye yavela ku-ISIL, i-Al NUSRA kanye nezinye izihlumela zamaphekula ezizalwa ngaleyo mpi.
KUYOZE KUBE NINI SESIQHUBEKA SIKHOLWA YIKHO IZIHLOKO ZESIHLOKO ZAMA-NY TIMES?
Abezindaba abajwayelekile base-US bahlala belandela lokho okushiwo yi-White House kanye nePentagon. Uma sivumela abezindaba basiholele empini neRussia, sibeka engcupheni yokushabalala kwethu, imindeni yethu kanye nempucuko emhlabeni wethu.
Sicela ucabangele ukuthumela le imeyili emndenini wakho, abangani kanye nozakwenu.
Okuningi ongakulandela ohambweni lwethu. Silandele ku ccisf.org.
