The New York Times ivame ukuqamba amanga amakhulu kunembudane eyindida eshicilele ngezikhali e-Iraq. Nakhu isibonelo. Le phakheji yamanga ibizwa ngokuthi "I-Liberals Have A Blind Spot on Defense" kodwa ayisho lutho oluhlobene nokuzivikela. Imane yenze sengathi impi iyazivikela ngokusebenzisa lelo gama nangokuqamba amanga ngokuthi "sibhekene nezinsongo zezempi ezivela eRussia naseChina ngasikhathi sinye futhi ezikhulayo." Ngokujulile? Kuphi?
Isabelomali sezempi sase-US singaphezu kwalezo zezizwe eziningi zomhlaba zihlangene. Izizwe ezingama-29 kuphela, kwezingama-200 emhlabeni, ezichitha ngisho nephesenti elilodwa lokho okwenziwa yi-US. Kulawo angama-1, angama-29 aphelele angamakhasimende ezikhali zase-US. Eziningi zalezo zithola izikhali zase-US zamahhala kanye/noma ukuqeqeshwa kanye/noma zinezisekelo zase-US emazweni abo. Ikhasimende elilodwa kuphela elingelona umlingani, elingezona izikhali (yize lingumhlanganyeli kumalebhu ocwaningo lwe-bioweapons) lichitha ngaphezu kuka-26% lokho okwenziwa yi-US, okuyi-China, eyayiku-10% wezindleko zase-US ngo-37 futhi cishe okufanayo namanje naphezu kokusebenza okuningi. ukwenyuka okwesabekayo okubikwa kabanzi kwabezindaba zase-US kanye nasesitezi seCongress. (Lokho akucatshangelwa izikhali zase-Ukraine nezinye izindleko zase-US.) Nakuba i-US itshale izizinda zamasosha e-Russia nase-China, futhi ayinayo isizinda sezempi eduze ne-United States, futhi ayike yasongela i-United States.
Manje, uma ungafuni ukugcwalisa umhlaba ngezikhali zase-US futhi ucasule iRussia neChina emingceleni yabo, New York Times inamanye amanga engeziwe ngawe: "Izindleko zokuvikela zifana nokusetshenziswa okumsulwa kwenqubomgomo yezimboni yasekhaya - enezinkulungwane zemisebenzi ekhokha kahle, enekhono eliphezulu - njenganoma yimuphi omunye umkhakha wobuchwepheshe obuphezulu."
Cha, akunjalo. Cishe noma iyiphi enye indlela yokusebenzisa amadola omphakathi, noma ukungawakhokhi intela kwasekuqaleni, kuyakhiqiza imisebenzi eminingi futhi engcono.
Nansi i-doozie:
“Abenkululeko nabo babekade bezonda amasosha ngokucabanga ukuthi achezukile ophikweni lwesokudla, kodwa lokho kuwukuphikisana okunzima ukukwenza lapho ilungelo likhononda 'ngebutho elivukile.'
Kungasho ukuthini emhlabeni ukuphikisa ukubulawa kwabantu abaningi okuhleliwe ngoba kugebenga uphiko olufanele? Yini enye esingayenza? Ngiyaphikisana nempi ngoba ibulala, ibhubhisa, ilimaza umhlaba, iqhuba ukungabi namakhaya kanye nokugula nobumpofu, ivimbela ukubambisana komhlaba wonke, idiliza umthetho womthetho, ivimbela ukuzibusa, ikhiqiza amakhasi angenalutho New York Times, kubhebhethekisa ubandlululo, futhi kuhlomise amaphoyisa, futhi ngoba ekhona izindlela ezingcono ukuxazulula izingxabano kanye noku ukumelana nempi yabanye. Ngeke ngiqale ngijabulele ukubulawa kwabantu abaningi ngoba omunye ujenene akawazondi ngokwanele amaqembu.
Bese kuba nalawa manga: “Abaphathi be-Biden bathinta usayizi wesicelo sabo sesabelomali esingamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-842, futhi ngokwegama nje sikhulu kunawo wonke. Kodwa lokho kuyahluleka ukulandisa nge-inflation.”
Uma ubheka ukusetshenziswa kwezempi yase-US ngokusho SIPRI ngamadola angu-2021 kusukela ngo-1949 kuze kube manje (yonke iminyaka abayinikezayo, nezibalo zabo zokulungisa ukwehla kwamandla emali), irekhodi lika-Obama lika-2011 cishe lizowela kulo nyaka. Uma ubheka izinombolo zangempela, hhayi ukulungisa ukwehla kwamandla emali, uBiden usethe irekhodi elisha unyaka nonyaka. Uma ungeza izikhali zamahhala ze-Ukraine, khona-ke, ngisho nokulungisa ukwehla kwamandla emali, irekhodi liwile kulo nyaka odlule futhi cishe lizophulwa futhi ngonyaka ozayo.
Uzozwa zonke izinhlobo zezinombolo ezihlukene, kuye ngokuthi yini efakiwe. Okusetshenziswe kakhulu cishe ama-dollar ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-886 kulokho okuhlongozwe yiBiden, okuhlanganisa amasosha, izikhali zenuzi, nokunye “Ukuphepha Kwezwe.” Uma ingekho ingcindezi enkulu yomphakathi esihlokweni umphakathi ongawazi nhlobo ukuthi sikhona, singathembela ekwandeni kweCongress, kanye nezinqwaba zezikhali zamahhala eziya e-Ukraine. Ngokokuqala ngqa, ukusetshenziswa kwezempi yase-US (ingabalwa ukusetshenziswa okuyimfihlo okuhlukahlukene, ukusetshenziswa komakadebona, njll.) cishe kuzodlula amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-950 njengoba kwakubikezelwe. lapha.
Amathangi anukayo axhaswe yizimpi athanda ukubuka ukusetshenziswa kwezempi njengephrojekthi ye-philanthropic ezokalwa njengephesenti “lomnotho” noma i-GDP, njengokungathi uma izwe linayo imali eningi, kufanele lichithe eningi ekubulaleni okuhleliwe. Kunezindlela ezimbili ezinengqondo zokuyibuka. Zombili zingabonwa ku Ukubala Ngezempi.
Eyodwa ngamanani alula esizweni ngasinye. Ngale migomo, i-US isezingeni eliphezulu ngokomlando futhi ikhuphuka kakhulu, kude kakhulu emhlabeni wonke.
Enye indlela yokuyibuka ngomuntu ngamunye. Njengokuqhathanisa ukusetshenziswa kwemali okuphelele, umuntu kufanele ehle kakhulu ohlwini ukuze athole noma yiziphi izitha eziqokiwe zikahulumeni wase-US. Kodwa lapha iRussia igxumela phezulu kwalolo hlu, ichitha u-20% ogcwele walokho okwenziwa yi-US ngomuntu ngamunye, kuyilapho ichitha ngaphansi kuka-9% kumadola esewonke. Ngokuphambene, i-China yehlela phansi ohlwini, ichitha ngaphansi kuka-9% ngomuntu ngamunye okwenziwa yi-United States, kuyilapho ichitha u-37% ngamadola aphelele. I-Iran, ngakolunye uhlangothi, isebenzisa u-5% ngomuntu ngamunye okwenziwa yi-US, uma kuqhathaniswa nangaphezudlwana kuka-1% ekusetshenzisweni kwemali sekukonke.
Our New York Times umngane ubhala ukuthi i-US idinga ukuchitha ngaphezulu ukuze ibuse izilwandle ezine, kuyilapho i-China idinga ukukhathazeka ngomunye kuphela. Kepha lapha isifiso saseMelika sokuphatha ukuncintisana kwezomnotho njengendlela yempi siphuphuthekisa umhlaziyi ukuthi ukuntuleka kwempi kusiza impumelelo yezomnotho. Njengoba uJimmy Carter etshela uDonald Trump, “Kusukela ngo-1979, uyazi ukuthi iChina ilwa kangaki nanoma ubani? Lutho. Futhi siye sahlala empini. . . . I-China ayizange ichithe ngisho indibilishi ngempi, yingakho bephambi kwethu. Cishe ngazo zonke izindlela.”
Kodwa ungase ulahle umncintiswano wezomnotho ongavamile futhi usaqonda izinzuzo zokutshala imali kokuthile okungekona ukufa kusukela ngaleso sikhathi izingxenye ezincane zezindleko zezempi zingaguqula i-United States kanye nomhlaba wonke. Impela kwakuyosala inala yezinye izinto ongaqamba amanga ngazo.
Izimpendulo ze-6
Ingxenye yezindleko zezempi okhulume ngayo esigabeni sokugcina, u-Seymour Hersh ubhala ngakho esihlokweni sakhe sakamuva mayelana nezwe le-mafia e-Banderastan. Umcabango we-Bugsy Siegel waseKiev usebenzisa imali yabakhokhi bentela base-US ngenkathi iNorfolk Southern iklinya izakhamizi zase-East Palestine noma i-malarkey Joe ngomhlaka-05/11 ixosha izigidi zabantu ngosizo lwezempilo oluwubhubhane kwanele ukwenza abantu bangene ezingalweni zomuntu obekwe icala. umongameli.
Ngicela ungathuki uMnu. Siegel ngokumfanisa naleyo twerp encane.
“Lowo owayengumongameli obekwe icala” wayevame ukudlwengula izingane, ngakho empeleni, akekho ongamvotela kunoma yiliphi iqembu ukuba abe ngumongameli. Bobabili bakhotha amabhuzu akwa-Israyeli. I-RNC ne-DNC ngeke ivumele umongameli omelene nempi, noma onakekela inhlalakahle yezakhamuzi, noma onakekela izingane, izilwane nezitshalo, ukuvikelwa kwamanzi nomoya. Sicwile futhi sinamathele kubaholi bezimpi. Bayoqhubeka bekwenza uze ubhujiswe umhlaba. Okwamanje, sizoqhubeka nokulahlekelwa amalungelo omphakathi, noma yikuphi ukulawula imali yethu (i-CBDC), kanye nokuhlonza kwethu okuzoba okuphethwe yi-AI. Kuyeke. Lesi sivivinyo esincane saleli bhola elincane eliluhlaza elintanta esikhaleni sehlulekile.
Ingakanani isabelomali samasosha ase-US eyempesheni?
Imvamisa ukusetshenziswa kwezimali komakadebona kushiywa ngaphandle kwezibalo zezindleko zezempi, futhi kungangeza enye imali eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyi-100 uma ifakiwe. https://www.nationalpriorities.org/budget-basics/federal-budget-101/spending/
Kufanele sikuphinde izikhathi ezingaki:
Isizwe esiqhubeka sisebenzisa imali eningi ekuvikelweni kwezempi kunasezinhlelweni zokuthuthukisa umphakathi sisondela ekufeni ngokomoya.
Mina nabanye abaningi ngeke sivotele i-Biden noma amaDemocrats ngaphandle uma le mpi ebulalayo ye-Ukraine-Russia yommeleli mayelana nombuso iphelile kanye nosongo (imizuzwana engu-30 kuya phakathi kwamabili) lwempi yenuzi kanye nesidingo semali sezidingo zabantu nakho konke lokhu kumosha. amasosha afaka amaphakethe emboni yezokuvikela kanye nemboni yegesi kanye nekawoyela ngokuba yisingcolisi esikhulu kunazo zonke se-CO2 nezinye izinto ezingcolisayo ezidala ukulimala kwemvelo kanye nomonakalo owengeza enkingeni yesimo sezulu ngokugqamayo, Isibonelo, ukuqeqeshwa kwezempi okwenziwa minyaka yonke yi-US Navy nabalingani base-US kushiya ukungcola kwamakhemikhali amaningi olwandle. Futhi lokho kumane kuyisihloko se-iceburg. Ukusangana okungaka. Futhi iNew York Times iyayiphusha. Imithombo yezindaba yethu evamile ibanjwe wumsangano.
