Ngesinye isikhathi enye yamavidiyo omunye engithumelela i-imeyili isixhumanisi esivele sikufanelekele ukuwabuka. Kunjalo lena. Kuyo owayeyinxusa laseMelika eSoviet Union uzama ukuchazela uVladimir Putin ukuthi kungani izisekelo zemicibisholo emisha yase-US eduze nomngcele waseRussia kungafanele kuqondwe njengezisongelayo. Uchaza ukuthi isisusa saseWashington, DC, akukhona ukusongela iRussia kodwa ukudala amathuba emisebenzi. UPutin uphendula ngokuthi, uma kunjalo, i-United States ibingadala amathuba emisebenzi ezimbonini ezinokuthula esikhundleni sempi.
UPutin kungenzeka noma akajwayele Izifundo zezomnotho zase-US ukuthola ukuthi, eqinisweni, ukutshalwa kwezimali okufanayo ezimbonini ezinokuthula kungadala imisebenzi eminingi kunemali esetshenziswa ezempi. Kodwa cishe uyazi ukuthi, kwezombusazwe zase-US, izikhulu ezikhethiwe ziye, ingxenye engcono yekhulu leminyaka, zizimisele ukutshala imali eningi emisebenzini yezempi hhayi eminye. Noma kunjalo, uPutin, okungenzeka ukuthi uyayazi indlela osekuyinsakavukela ngayo ukuthi amalungu eCongress akhulume ngezempi njengohlelo lwemisebenzi, uvela kuvidiyo emangele ukuthi othile anganikeza lezo zaba kuhulumeni wangaphandle omiswe ezindaweni zase-US.
UTimothy Skeers owangithumelela isixhumanisi sevidiyo uphawule wathi: “Mhlawumbe uKhrushchev bekufanele avele atshele uKennedy ukuthi ubezama ukudalela izakhamuzi zaseSoviet amathuba emisebenzi ngesikhathi ebeka leyo micibisholo eCuba. Ukucabanga ukuthi lokho bekuyokwenzeka kanjani kungase kusize abantu base-United States ukuba baqonde ukuthi izikhulu zabo ezikhethiwe zizwakala kanjani kuwo wonke umhlaba.
Ukuthi isisusa esisodwa esiyinhloko sokwanda kwezempi yase-US eMpumalanga Yurophu "yimisebenzi," noma kunalokho, inzuzo, cishe yamukelwa obala yiPentagon. NgoMeyi I-Politico Iphephandaba libike ngobufakazi bePentagon kuCongress ukuthi iRussia yayinebutho eliphakeme futhi elisongelayo, kodwa lalandela lokho nalokhu: "'Lena "Inkukhu-Encane, isibhakabhaka-iyawa" ebekwe eButhweni,' iPentagon ephezulu. Kusho iphoyisa. 'Laba bafana bafuna sikholwe ukuthi amaRussia angamamitha ayi-10 ubude. Kunencazelo elula: Ibutho Lezempi lifuna injongo, kanye nengxenye enkulu yesabelomali. Futhi indlela engcono kakhulu yokuthola lokho ukupenda amaRussia njengoba akwazi ukuhlala ngemuva kwethu nasemaceleni ethu womabili ngesikhathi esisodwa. Ingquza enjani."
I-Politico wabe esecaphuna “ucwaningo” olungakholeki kakhulu lokuphakama kwezempi yaseRussia kanye nobudlova futhi wengeza:
“Ngesikhathi ukubikwa ngocwaningo lwamasosha kube sematheni emithonjeni yezindaba, inqwaba yabantu asebethathe umhlalaphansi ebutho, okubalwa nababeyizikhulu eziphezulu zeButho, bahlahle amehlo. 'Lezo yizindaba kimi,' kusho esinye salezi zikhulu ezihlonishwa kakhulu. 'Izindimbane zezindiza ezingenamuntu? Amathangi abulalayo ngokumangalisayo? Kungani siqala ukuzwa ngakho?'”
Ngaso sonke isikhathi izikhulu esele zithatha umhlalaphansi zikhuluma iqiniso ngenkohlakalo, ezihlanganisa neNxusa eselathatha umhlalaphansi uJack Matlock kuvidiyo. Imali kanye ne-bureaucracy kuphakanyiswa ngokuthi "imisebenzi," futhi ithonya lakho lingokoqobo kodwa alichazi lutho. Ungaba nemali kanye ne-bureaucracy ikhuthaze izimboni ezinokuthula. Ukukhetha ukukhuthaza impi akuyona into enengqondo. Eqinisweni, ichazwa kahle ngumlobi wase-US ku New York Times ukuveza izimo zengqondo zase-US kuRussia noPutin:
“Inhloso yamasu ezimpi zakhe impi uqobo lwayo. Lokhu kuyiqiniso e-Ukraine, lapho indawo yayiyizaba nje, futhi lokhu kuyiqiniso ngeSyria, lapho ukuvikela uMnu. Assad nokulwa ne-ISIS kuyizaba futhi. Zombili lezi zingxabano ziyizimpi ezingapheli ngoba, ngokombono kaMnu. Putin, yimpi kuphela lapho iRussia ingathola khona ukuthula.”
Lokhu, eqinisweni, kwakunjani New York Times kubikwe ngo-Okthoba odlule umcimbi okuthathwe kuyo ividiyo exhunywe ngenhla. (Okuningi laphaNgiyakugxeka ukuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu eSyria eRussia ngaso sonke isikhathi, okuhlanganisa nemithombo yezindaba yaseRussia cishe masonto onke, kodwa uma kukhona isizwe esihlala silwa yi-United States, eyasekela ukuketulwa umbuso okulwa neRussia. e-Ukraine futhi manje ibhekisela empendulweni yaseRussia njengokwenza impi okungenangqondo.
Ukuhlakanipha kwe New York Times Umlobi, njengokuhlakanipha kwaseNuremberg, usetshenziswa ngokukhetha ngendlela enobutha, kodwa namanje uhlakaniphile. Inhloso yempi ngempela impi ngokwayo. Izizathu ziwukuthi njalo izaba.
