Eminyakeni eyishumi nane edlule ngoMashi 19, 2003, ngasula kuhulumeni wase-US ngiphikisana nesinqumo sikaMongameli Bush sokungena nokuhlala nabantu abacebile ngama-Arab, ama-Arab, amaSulumane Iraq, izwe elingahlangani nalutho ezenzakalweni zikaSepthemba 11, 2001 nokuthi abaphathi bakwaBush babazi ukuthi babengenazo izikhali zokubhubhisa abantu abaningi.
Encwadini yami yokwesula, ngabhala ngokukhathazeka kwami okujulile ngesinqumo sikaBush sokuhlasela i-Iraq kanye nenani elikhulu labantu ababulawa yilokho kuhlaselwa kwamasosha. Kepha ngibuye ngachaza ukukhathazeka kwami kwezinye izindaba-- ukungabi khona kwemizamo ye-US ekuxazululeni ingxabano yakwa-Israyeli nePalestina, ukwehluleka kweMelika ukuzibandakanya neNyakatho Korea ukunqanda intuthuko yenuzi nemicibisholo kanye nokuncishiswa kwenkululeko yomphakathi e-United States ngokusebenzisa iPatriot Act .
Manje, oMongameli abathathu kamuva, izinkinga engangikhathazeke ngazo ngo-2003 ziyingozi kakhulu eminyakeni eyishumi nohhafu kamuva. Ngiyajabula ukuthi ngasula kuhulumeni wase-US eminyakeni eyishumi nane edlule. Isinqumo sami sokushiya umsebenzi singivumele ukuthi ngikhulume obala e-United States nasemhlabeni jikelele ngezinkinga ezibeka engcupheni ukuphepha kwamazwe omhlaba ngokubuka kwalowo owayekade esebenza kuhulumeni wase-US eneminyaka engama-29 ebusosheni base-US kanye neminyaka eyishumi nesithupha embuthweni wobunxusa wase-US .
Njengosomaqhinga wase-US, ngangiseqenjini elincane elavula kabusha iNxusa laseMelika eKabul, e-Afghanistan ngoDisemba 2001. Manje, eminyakeni eyishumi nesithupha kamuva, i-US isalwisana namaTaliban e-Afghanistan, njengoba amaTaliban ethatha indawo engaphezulu, e Impi ende kunazo zonke eMelika, kuyilapho ukuhlanganiswa nokukhohlakala kuhulumeni wase-Afghanistan ngenxa yezinkontileka ezinkulu ezixhaswe yi-US zokuxhasa umshini wamasosha wase-US ziyaqhubeka nokunikeza amaTaliban abantu abasha.
I-US manje ilwa ne-ISIS, iqembu elinesihluku elavela ngenxa yempi yase-US e-Iraq, kepha selisabalale lisuka e-Iraq laya eSyria, njengoba inqubomgomo yase-US yokushintsha kombuso iholele ekuhlomiseni amaqembu amazwe angaphandle kanye nasekhaya aseSyria ukuthi angalwi i-ISIS kuphela, kepha uhulumeni waseSyria. Ukufa kwezakhamizi e-Iraq naseSyria kuyaqhubeka nokukhuphuka nokwaziwa kuleli sonto ngamasosha aseMelika ukuthi “kungenzeka” ukuthi umkhankaso wokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu waseMelika wabulala abantu abangaphezu kuka-200 esakhiweni esisodwa eMosel.
Ngokuvuma kukahulumeni wase-US, uma kungenjalo, amasosha akwa-Israyeli ahlasele iGaza amahlandla amathathu kule minyaka eyisishiyagalombili eyedlule. Izinkulungwane zabantu basePalestine zibulewe, amashumi ezinkulungwane alinyazwa nemizi yamakhulu ezinkulungwane zabantu basePalestine ibhujisiwe. Bangaphezu kuka-800,000 abantu bakwa-Israyeli manje abahlala ezindaweni ezingekho emthethweni emazweni asePalestine abiwe eWest Bank. Uhulumeni wase-Israel wakhe amakhilomitha angamakhulu odonga lobandlululo emhlabeni wasePalestine ohlukanisa abasePalestine emapulazini abo, ezikoleni kanye nasemsebenzini. Izindawo zokuhlola ezinesihluku, ezihlazisayo ngamabomu zizama ukwehlisa umoya wabantu basePalestine. Imigwaqo emikhulu yakwa-Israyeli kuphela eyakhiwe emazweni asePalestine. Ukwebiwa kwezinsizakusebenza zasePalestine sekuqubule uhlelo lokuduba oluholwa izakhamizi emhlabeni wonke, ukuhlukaniswa kanye nokujeziswa. Ukuboshwa kwezingane ngenxa yokujikijela amatshe embuthweni wamasosha sekufinyelele emazingeni ezinhlekelele. Ubufakazi bokuphathwa ngonya kukahulumeni wase-Israel ngabantu basePalestine manje sebubizwa ngokusemthethweni ngokuthi “ubandlululo” embikweni weZizwe Ezihlangene owaholela ekucindezelweni okukhulu kwe-Israel ne-United States ku-UN ukuba ihoxise lo mbiko futhi iphoqe uNobhala Ongaphansi kwe-UN owayethumele lo mbiko sula esikhundleni.
Uhulumeni waseNyakatho Korea uyaqhubeka nokufuna izingxoxo ne-US kanye neSouth Korea ngesivumelwano sokuthula sokuqeda iMpi yaseKorea. Ukwenqaba noma yiziphi izingxoxo neNorth Korea kuze kube yilapho iNorth Korea iqeda uhlelo lwenuzi futhi yenyusa imishini yezempi yase-US-South Korea, eyokugcina ebizwa ngokuthi yi “Decapution” iholele ekutheni uhulumeni waseNyakatho Korea aqhubeke nokuhlola imisebenzi yenuzi.
Impi yenkululeko yomphakathi yezakhamizi zaseMelika ngaphansi kwePatriot Act iholele ekuqaphelweni okungakaze kube khona ngamaselula, amakhompyutha nezinye izinto zobuchwepheshe, ukuqoqwa kwedatha enkulu ngokungemthetho kanye nokungenamkhawulo, ukugcinwa okungapheli kwemininingwane eyimfihlo yezakhamizi zase-US hhayi kuphela, kodwa zonke izakhamuzi zalokhu iplanethi. Impi ka-Obama kubashayeli bamacilongo abaveze izici ezahlukahlukene zokuqoqwa kwedatha ngokungemthetho iholele ekuqhekekeni ekuvikeleni ngempumelelo amacala obunhloli (uTom Drake), ezijele ezinde (i-Chelsea Manning), ekudingisweni (u-Ed Snowden) kanye nokuboshwa okujwayelekile ezindaweni zokuxhumana ( UJulian Assange). Esikhathini sakamuva nje, uMengameli omusha wase-US uDonald Trump usole lowo owayenguMongameli wase-US uBarack Obama "ngokuthinta ngocingo" ikhaya / umbhoshongo wakhe oyizigidigidi zamarandi ngesikhathi somkhankaso kaMongameli kodwa wenqaba ukunikeza ubufakazi, ethembele kusisekelo sokuthi zonke izakhamizi kube yizinhloso zokubhekwa nge-elekthronikhi.
Eminyakeni eyishumi nane edlule bekunzima emhlabeni ngenxa yezimpi zase-US zokuzikhethela kanye nesimo sokubhekwa komhlaba. Le minyaka emine elandelayo ayibonakali iletha noma yiliphi izinga lokukhululeka kuzakhamizi zomhlaba.
Ukuqokwa kukaDonald Trump, uMongameli wokuqala wase-US ongakaze asebenze kunoma yiliphi izinga likahulumeni, noma empini yaseMelika, akulethe ngesikhathi esifushane sobumongameli bakhe inamba ebingakaze ibonwe yezinkinga zasekhaya nezaphesheya.
Esikhathini esingaphansi kwezinsuku ze-50, ukuphatha kukaTrump kuzamile ukuvimba abantu abavela emazweni ayisikhombisa nababaleki abavela eSyria.
Abaphathi bakaTrump baqokele isikhundla seKhabinari isigaba sebhilidi leWall Street kanye neBigold Oil enenhloso yokubhubhisa izinhlaka abazobahola.
Ukuphathwa kukaTrump kuhlongoze isabelomali esizokhulisa isabelomali sempi yaseMelika ngamaphesenti ama-10, kepha sibhidliza isabelomali sezinye izinhlangano ukuze sizinikeze ukungaphumeleli.
Isabelomali soMnyango Wezangaphandle kanye Nezindaba Zamazwe Ngamazwe sokuxazulula izingxabano ngamagama hhayi izinhlamvu sizodilizwa yi-37%.
AbakwaTrump Administration baqoke umuntu ukuthi ahole inhloko yoMnyango Wezokuvikela Imvelo (i-EPA) omemezele ukuthi iCloud Chaos iyihaba.
Futhi lokho kumane nje kuyisiqalo.
Ngijabule kakhulu ukuthi ngashiya kuhulumeni wase-US eminyakeni eyishumi nane edlule ukuze ngikwazi ukujoyina izigidi zezakhamizi emhlabeni wonke eziphonsela inselelo ohulumeni bazo lapho ohulumeni bephula imithetho yabo, bebulala izakhamuzi ezingenacala futhi zidala umonakalo emhlabeni.
