Mnu. President:

Imithombo yezindaba evamile iye yafaka izingqondo zabantu abaningi baseMelika ophikweni lwabathakathi lolwazi oludukisayo nge-Ukraine - kanye nasezintweni eziphakeme kakhulu zempi. Uma ungalutholi uhlobo “lobungaphathwanga” uMongameli uTruman anethemba lokuluthola ngokuhlela kabusha ubuhlakani, sikunikeza ngezansi kwephepha leqiniso elinamaphuzu ayi-12. Abanye bethu babengabahlaziyi bezobunhloli ngesikhathi senhlekelele yemicibisholo yaseCuba futhi babona ukufana okuqondile e-Ukraine. Mayelana nokwethembeka kwama-VIP, irekhodi lethu kusukela ngo-Jan. 2003 - kungaba se-Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, noma Russia - liyazikhulumela.⁣⁣

1. Amathuba akhulayo okuthi kusetshenziswe izikhali zenuzi, njengoba impi e-Ukraine iqhubeka nokudlondlobala, idinga ukunakwa kwakho ngokugcwele.
2. Cishe iminyaka engu-77, ukuqwashisa okuvamile ngokucekela phansi okumangalisayo kwezikhali ze-athomu/zenuzi kwakha ibhalansi (eyaqina ngendlela exakayo) yobuphekula ebizwa ngokuthi yi-deterrence. Amazwe ahlome ngezikhali zenuzi ngokuvamile agweme ukusongela ukusebenzisa ama-nukes ngokumelene namanye amazwe ahlome ngezikhali zenuzi.
3. Izikhumbuzo zakamuva zikaPutin zamandla ezikhali zenuzi zaseRussia zingangena kalula esigabeni sokuvimbela. Kungafundwa futhi njengesixwayiso sokuthi ukulungele ukuzisebenzisa in extremis.
4. I-Extremis? Yebo; U-Putin ubheka ukugxambukela kwamazwe aseNtshonalanga e-Ukraine, ikakhulukazi kusukela kuketulwa umbuso ngo-Feb. 2014, njengesenzo usongo olukhona. Ngokubona kwethu, uzimisele ukuqeda iRussia kulokhu kusongelwa, futhi i-Ukraine manje isiyiwinile kaPutin. Ngeke sikubeke eceleni ukuthi kungenzeka, ehlehlisiwe ekhoneni, agunyaze ukuhlasela kwenuzi okulinganiselwe ngemicibisholo ecitshwayo yesimanje endiza izikhathi eziningi kunejubane lomsindo.
5. Usongo olukhona? I-Moscow ibona ukubandakanyeka kwezempi kwe-US e-Ukraine njengokufana ncamashi nosongo olufana nolwesu uMongameli uKennedy alubona emzamweni kaKhrushchev wokubeka imicibisholo yenuzi eCuba ngokwephula iMfundiso kaMonroe. U-Putin ukhononda ngokuthi izindawo ezijikijelwayo zase-US”ABM” e-Romania nase-Poland zingashintshwa, ngokufaka enye i-compact disk, ukuze kuqhunyiswe imicibisholo ngokumelene nombutho waseRussia we-ICBM.
6. Mayelana nokubeka izizinda zemicibisholo e-Ukraine, ngokusho kokufundwa kwe-Kremlin kwengxoxo yakho yocingo no-Putin ngoDisemba 30, 2021, umtshele ukuthi i-US "yayingenanhloso yokukhipha izikhali ezihlaselayo e-Ukraine". Kuze kube manje njengoba sazi, akukaze kube khona ukuphikisa ukunemba kwalokho kufundwa kwesiRashiya. Noma kunjalo, isiqinisekiso sakho esibikiwe ku-Putin sanyamalala emoyeni - saba nomthelela, sicabanga ukuthi, ekukhuleni kokungathembani kweRussia.
7. I-Russia ayisakwazi ukungabaza ukuthi i-US ne-NATO ihlose ukwenza buthaka iRussia (nokumsusa, uma kungenzeka) - nokuthi iNtshonalanga ikholelwa ukuthi ingakwazi ukufeza lokhu ngokuthululela izikhali e-Ukraine futhi ikhuthaze abase-Ukraine ukuthi balwe. Sicabanga ukuthi lezi zinhloso ziyinkohliso.
8. Uma uNobhala u-Austin ekholelwa ukuthi i-Ukraine "ingaphumelela" ngokumelene namabutho aseRussia - unephutha. Uzokhumbula ukuthi abaningi babanduleli baka-Austin - uMcNamara, uRumsfeld, uGates, isibonelo - babelokhu beqinisekisa omongameli bangaphambili ukuthi imibuso enenkohlakalo "ingaphumelela" - ngokumelene nezitha ezinamandla kakhulu kuneRussia.
9. Umbono wokuthi iRussia “ihlukaniswe yodwa” emhlabeni wonke nawo ubonakala uyinkohliso. I-China ingabalwa ukuthi yenze okusemandleni ukuvimbela u-Putin ukuthi "alahlekelwe" e-Ukraine - okokuqala futhi okubaluleke kakhulu ngoba iBeijing iqokwe "elandelayo emgqeni", okushoyo. Impela, uMongameli u-Xi Jin-Ping ubikelwe nge-Pentagon "Isu Lezokuvikela Likazwelonke" le-Pentagon elihlonza i-China "njengosongo" olu-#2022. I-Russia-China entente iphawula ushintsho lwe-tectonic ebudlelwaneni bomhlaba bamandla. Akunakwenzeka ukwenza ihaba ngokubaluleka kwayo.
10. Abazwelana namaNazi e-Ukraine ngeke bakubaleke ukunakwa ngoMeyi 9, njengoba iRussia igubha iminyaka engu-77 yanqoba iJalimane lobuNazi. Wonke umuntu waseRussia uyazi ukuthi amaSoviet angaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-26 afa phakathi naleyo mpi (kuhlanganise nomfowabo kaPutin omdala uViktor ngesikhathi sokuvinjwa okungenaluzwela, kwezinsuku ezingu-872 zaseLeningrad). Ukuchithwa kwe-Ukraine kungenye yezinto ezibalulekile ezithinta izinga lokugunyazwa kukaPutin elingaphezu kwamaphesenti angama-80.
11. Ingxabano yase-Ukraine ingabizwa ngokuthi “Umama Wazo Zonke Izindleko Zamathuba”. Ngonyaka odlule “Ukuhlola Usongo”, uMqondisi Wezobunhloli Kuzwelonke u-Avril Haines uhlonze ukushintsha kwesimo sezulu njengenselele enkulu yezokuphepha kwezwe kanye “nokuphepha kwabantu” okungahlangatshezwana nayo kuphela yizizwe ezisebenzisanayo. Impi yase-Ukraine isivele isusa ukunakwa okudingeka kakhulu kulokhu kusongela okuzayo kuya ezizukulwaneni ezizayo.
12. Siyaqaphela ukuthi sithumele Imemorandamu yethu yokuqala yalolu hlobo kuMongameli uGeorge W. Bush ngomhlaka-5 Feb. 2003, sigxeka inkulumo ka-Colin Powell egcwele ubuhlakani obungaqinisekisiwe e-UN ekuqaleni kwalolo suku. Sathumela amaMemo okulandelela amabili ngoNdasa wezi-2003 sixwayisa umongameli ngokuthi ubuhlakani “bebuphekwa” ukuze buthethelele impi, kodwa azinakwa. Siphetha le Memo ngesikhalazo esifanayo nesasenza, ngokunganaki, ku-George W. Bush: “Kungakusizakala uma unganweba ingxoxo ngale kwalabo beluleki ngokusobala egxile empini esingaboni sizathu esibambekayo nesikholelwa ukuthi imiphumela ebingahlosiwe ingase ibe yinhlekelele."

Okokugcina, siphinda lokho esikwenzele kona ngoDisemba 2020 (kuMemorandamu ye-VIP ebalulwe ngenhla): 'Simi ngomumo ukukusekela ngohlaziyo olunenjongo, sitshele-njengoba lunjalo.' Siphakamisa ukuthi ungase uzuze embonweni "yangaphandle" evela kuzikhulu zezobunhloli ezinolwazi lwamashumi amaningi eminyaka "ngaphakathi".
