UDavid Swanson ungumbhali wencwadi entsha I-Monroe Doctrine at 200 nokuthi Yini Ongayishintsha Ngayo.

Umlando ubonakala ubonisa inzuzo ethile e-Latin America ngezikhathi lapho i-United States yaphazanyiswa ngenye indlela, njengeMpi Yombango nezinye izimpi. Lesi yisikhathi njengamanje lapho uhulumeni wase-US okungenani ephazanyiswa yi-Ukraine futhi ezimisele ukuthenga uwoyela waseVenezuela uma ekholelwa ukuthi lokho kunomthelela ekulimazeni iRussia. Futhi umzuzu wokufeza okukhulu nokulangazelela eLatin America.

Ukhetho lwaseLatin America luya ngokuya luphambana nokuthobela amandla ase-US. Kulandela “uguquko lwaseBolivarian” lukaHugo Chavez, uNéstor Carlos Kirchner wakhethwa e-Argentina ngo-2003, kwathi uLuiz Inácio Lula da Silva eBrazil ngo-2003. UMongameli waseBolivia othanda ukuzimela u-Evo Morales wathatha izintambo ngoJanuwari 2006. Umongameli wase-Ecuador othanda ukuzimela uRafael I-Correa yaqala ukubusa ngo-January 2007. I-Correa yamemezela ukuthi uma i-United States ifisa ukugcina isizinda samasosha e-Ecuador, i-Ecuador kuzodingeka ivunyelwe ukuba igcine isizinda sayo eMiami, eFlorida. E-Nicaragua, umholi wama-Sandinista uDaniel Ortega, owaketulwa ngo-1990, usebuyele esikhundleni kusukela ngo-2007 kuze kube namuhla, nakuba kusobala ukuthi imigomo yakhe isishintshile futhi ukusetshenziswa kwakhe kabi kwamandla akuzona zonke izinto eziqanjiwe zabezindaba zase-US. U-Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) wakhethwa eMexico ngo-2018. Ngemva kokuhlehla, okuhlanganisa ukuketula umbuso eBolivia ngo-2019 (ngokusekelwa yi-US ne-UK) kanye nokushushiswa kwamacala angamanga eBrazil, ngo-2022 wabona uhlu "lwe-pink tide." ” ohulumeni abanwetshiwe bahlanganisa iVenezuela, iBolivia, i-Ecuador, iNicaragua, iBrazil, i-Argentina, iMexico, iPeru, iChile, iColombia, neHonduras — kanye neCuba. EColombia, ngo-2022 kwaba nokhetho lwayo lokuqala lukamongameli oncike kwesokunxele. EHonduras, ngo-2021 kwaba nokhetho njengomongameli wenkosikazi yokuqala yangaphambili u-Xiomara Castro de Zelaya owaketulwa umbuso ngo-2009 ngokumelene nomyeni wakhe futhi manje osengumnumzane wokuqala u-Manuel Zelaya.

Yebo, la mazwe agcwele ukungezwani, njengohulumeni nomongameli bawo. Yebo labo hulumeni kanye nomongameli banamaphutha amakhulu, njengoba kunjalo nabo bonke ohulumeni baseMhlabeni ukuthi abezindaba base-US benza ihaba noma baqambe amanga ngamaphutha abo. Noma kunjalo, ukhetho lwase-Latin America (kanye nokumelana nemizamo yokuketula umbuso) luphakamisa ithrendi ebheke e-Latin America eqeda i-Monroe Doctrine, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi i-United States iyayithanda noma cha.

Ngo-2013 uGallup wenza ukuvota e-Argentina, eMexico, eBrazil nasePeru, futhi esimweni ngasinye wathola i-United States impendulo ephezulu yokuthi “Yiliphi izwe eliwusongo olukhulu lokuthula emhlabeni?” Ngo-2017, u-Pew wenza izinhlolovo eMexico, eChile, e-Argentina, eBrazil, eVenezuela, eColombia, nasePeru, futhi wathola phakathi kuka-56% no-85% ekholelwa ukuthi i-United States iwusongo ezweni labo. Uma i-Monroe Doctrine ingasekho noma inomusa, kungani kungekho noyedwa wabantu abathintwe yiyo abake bezwe ngalokho?

Ngo-2022, eNgqungqutheleni Yamazwe AseMelika eyayisingethwe yi-United States, amazwe angama-23 kuphela kwangu-35 athumela abameleli. I-United States yayizikhiphe ngaphandle amazwe amathathu, kuyilapho amanye amaningana aduba, kuhlanganise neMexico, iBolivia, iHonduras, iGuatemala, i-El Salvador, ne-Antigua neBarbuda.

Yebo, uhulumeni wase-US uhlale ethi akabandakanyi noma ujezisa noma ufuna ukuketula izizwe ngoba zingondlovukayiphikiswa, hhayi ngoba zibukela phansi izimfuno ze-US. Kepha, njengoba ngabhala encwadini yami ka-2020 Omashiqela abangama-20 Okwamanje Abasekelwa I-United States, kohulumeni bezwe be-50 abacindezela kakhulu ngaleso sikhathi, ngokuqonda kukahulumeni wase-US uqobo, i-United States yasekela ngezempi i-48 yabo, ivumela (noma ngisho nokuxhasa ngemali) ukuthengiswa kwezikhali ku-41 kubo, ihlinzeka ngokuqeqeshwa kwezempi kwabangu-44 babo, futhi ukuhlinzeka ngezimali emabuthweni angama-33 awo.

ILatin America ayikaze idinge izisekelo zamasosha ase-US, futhi kufanele zivalwe manje. I-Latin America ibizohlala ingcono ngaphandle kwezempi yase-US (noma impi yomunye umuntu) futhi kufanele ikhululwe kulesi sifo ngokushesha. Akusekho ukuthengiswa kwezikhali. Azisekho izipho zezikhali. Akusekho ukuqeqeshwa kwezempi noma uxhaso. Akusekho ukuqeqeshwa kwezempi kwase-US kwamaphoyisa ase-Latin America noma onogada basejele. Ngeke kusaba ukuthumela eningizimu iphrojekthi eyinhlekelele yokuboshwa kwabantu abaningi. (Umthethosivivinywa kuCongress ofana noMthetho weBerta Caceres onganqamula uxhaso lwe-US lwamasosha namaphoyisa eHonduras inqobo nje uma laba bakamuva behlukumeza amalungelo abantu kufanele banwetshwe kulo lonke elaseLatin America kanye nomhlaba wonke, futhi unomphela ngaphandle kwemibandela; usizo kufanele luthathe uhlobo lokusiza ngokwezimali, hhayi amasosha ahlomile.) Ayisekho impi yezidakamizwa, phesheya noma ekhaya. Ngeke kuphinde kusetshenziswe impi yezidakamizwa egameni lezempi. Ngeke kusashaywa indiva izinga lempilo eliphansi noma izinga eliphansi lokunakekelwa kwezempilo elidala futhi liqhubeke nokusetshenziswa kabi kwezidakamizwa. Azisekho izivumelwano zokuhwebelana ezicekela phansi imvelo nezomuntu. Akusekho ukugujwa “kokukhula” komnotho ngenxa yawo. Akusekho ukuncintisana neShayina nanoma ubani omunye, ezentengiselwano noma ezempi. Asisekho isikweletu. (Ikhansele!) Alusekho usizo olunezintambo ezinamathiselwe. Ngeke kusaba nesijeziso esiyiqoqo ngokusebenzisa unswinyo. Azisekho izindonga zomngcele noma izithiyo ezingenangqondo zokuhamba ngokukhululeka. Akusekho ubuzwe besigaba sesibili. Ngeke kusaba ukuphambukiswa kwezinsiza kude nezinhlekelele zemvelo nezomuntu zibe izinguqulo ezibuyekeziwe zomkhuba wakudala wokunqoba. I-Latin America ayizange idinge ubukoloni base-US. I-Puerto Rico, kanye nazo zonke izindawo zase-US, kufanele zivunyelwe ukukhetha ukuzimela noma ubuzwe, kanye nanoma yikuphi ukukhetha, ukubuyisela.
