Ngemuva kwesonto uMongameli uHarry Truman exoshe iqhawe lempi le-WWII uGen.Douglas MacArthur ngo-Ephreli 1951, uMacArthur wakhuluma engqungqutheleni ehlangene yeCongress ngokuzisola ngokwedlulelwa phansi nokwaziswa yilowo owayengumphakathi uTruman: “Amasosha amadala awafi - Shabalala."
IMacArthur ibigxeke esidlangalaleni uTruman ngokumnqabela imvume yokuba yinukisa "iRed China" ngemuva kokuthi ithumele amasosha eKorea ukuyolwa namasosha aseMelika lapho. Lokho kwakungo-April 1951, eminyakeni engama-70 edlule. UTruman uchaze wathi: "Ngimxoshile ngoba ubengalihloniphi igunya likaMengameli… angimxoshanga ngoba ubeyindodana eyisidenge, yize ayeyikho."
Ngokunikwa, ukuqhathanisa kungaba yinto engeyinhle, kepha incazelo esiza kakhulu yokuziphatha kukaSihlalo we-Joint Chiefs 4-star uGen.Gen.Mark Milley - kanye nencazelo evame ukwenziwa yilabo abamaziyo - ukuthi ufanelwe i-sobriquet Truman unikeze izinkanyezi ezi-5 iMacArthur. Ngijwayele ukungazisizi kangako, ngibona uMilley engazinikeli futhi ekhohlisa, futhi - okubaluleke kakhulu - ezama ukuzifaka ngokungemthetho ochungechungeni olubucayi lomyalo wokugunyaza ukusetshenziswa kwezikhali zenuzi.
“Ingozi” Yangempela
UMilley akazange aziphike izambulo ezinhle encwadini ethi "Ingozi" kaBob Woodward noRobert Costa. Ngaphandle kombiko ocishe ungakholeki (kepha wamukelwa kabanzi) wokuthi uMilley wabona kufanele ukuthi axwayise uzakwabo waseChina ukuthi uzomnikeza ithuba lokuhlasela uma kuza ukuhlasela eChina, kukhona isambulo esimangazayo uMilley ayale ngaso izikhulu eziphezulu zePentagon ukuthi kwakudingeka abambe iqhaza kunoma yiziphi izingxoxo mayelana nokwethula izikhali zenuzi.
Yini engalungile ngalokho, kubuza I-Atlantic. Umfana olungile uMilley wayekhathazeke ngokweqile ngomuntu omubi uTrump ngakho wasisindisa sonke:
UMilley ubuye wahlanganisa iqembu lezikhulu eziphezulu zaseMelika wabenza baqinisekisa, ngamunye ngamunye, ukuthi bayakuqonda ukuthi inqubo yokukhishwa kwezikhali zenuzi kumele imbandakanye. … UMilley wahlala ngaphakathi kolayini, ngokulambisa."
Nope
Ngifune ukuphawula kuColonel Douglas Macgregor ukuze ngiqinisekise izinsolo zami zokuthi i-The Atlantic is gild the lily. Lokho uMilley akwenzile ezama ukuzifaka enqubeni esungulwe kahle yokugunyaza ukusetshenziswa kwezikhali zenuzi bekungajwayelekile, mhlawumbe bekungekho emthethweni. Usihlalo we-JCS akanayo indima yokusebenza kulolu chungechunge. Nakhu uMacgregor angitshele khona namhlanje (uPOTUS, yiqiniso, nguMongameli):
Uchungechunge lwenuzi lusuka ePOTUS luye e-SECDEF luye kwiCDR STRATCOM. Ngokusobala, kukhona abanye i-POTUS engakwazi ukubonisana nabo, kepha maqondana nama-oda athintekayo okungenhla kunembile. I-POTUS kuzofanele futhi inikeze igunya lokusetshenziswa kwanoma yisiphi isikhali seqhinga olwandle noma emoyeni. Futhi, uMilley ungumeluleki omkhulu wamasosha ePOTUS. Kungaboniswana naye, kepha akukho lutho emthethweni oludinga ukuthi abambe iqhaza. Mhlawumbe, yingakho ephikelela ukuthi abandakanyeke.
Ngokungafani noTruman obhekene nokungahlonishwa okufanayo, uMongameli Biden ngoLwesithathu uzwakalise "ukumethemba ngokuphelele" uGen Milley. Futhi, ukuqhathanisa kungaba yingozi, kepha uTrump wambiza "ngomsebenzi wamantongomane".
Ukukhanya kokuqala
Ngenkathi ngizama ukuhlanganisa konke lokhu izolo, ngibhale le ndatshana enzima:
Khuluma ngemizwa exubile! Ngokomzwelo (futhi - akunasidingo sokusho - noma yimuphi umhlaziyi kufanele azame ukugwema ukuvumela ukuhlaziywa kombala wemizwa), kulula kakhulu ukuphefumula futhi ubonge ngalokho uMilley angaphiki ukuthi wakwenza.
Zibeke ezicathulweni zikaPutin zikaXi, noma kunjalo. Nkulunkulu omuhle! Uma umbutho wezempi ophezulu ungathatha izinyathelo zokugwema ukusebenzisa i-oda elisemthethweni (noma ngabe liyesabeka kangakanani) futhi lokhu kuvunyelwe ukuma njengesibonelo esihloniphekile, nesincomekayo, lokhu kusho ukuthi amasosha aphezulu angahle avuse / aqalise impi yenuzi kungakhathalekile ukuthi umphathi omkhulu. I-Air Force izamile ukukwenza lokhu phakathi kweCuban Missile Crisis, kepha igazi elibandayo eMoscow kwavimbela okubi kakhulu. Kusenenqwaba yama-Curtis LeMays azungezile.
Ukube benginguPutin, noma uXi, bengizozizwa ngiphoqelekile ukuzilungiselela okubi kakhulu - okubi kakhulu. Sebenabo ubufakazi obanele bokuthi amasosha ase-US - nabantu abanjengoDonald Rumsfeld noRobert Gates - balawula izimpi ezivamile zangemva kuka-9/11; ukuthi ukuyeka ukulwa eSyria, okuxoxiswane ngakho ngokuqinile ezinyangeni eziyi-11 nguKerry noLavrov, futhi kugunyazwe yena uqobo ngu-Obama noPutin, kwahlukunyezwa isonto kamuva yi-US AF.
Manje uPutin no-XI banobufakazi obuphathekayo bokuthi lolu hlobo lokungazibandakanyi ludlulela ezingxabanweni ze-NUCLEAR - futhi ludlulela phezulu phezulu kwe-JCS. Futhi uMilley ubonakala njengomuntu omuhle ngalokhu akwenzile. UPutin no-XI, abanaso isiqiniseko sokuthi izinxushunxushu zamanje e-US zingaletha iCongress eyingozi kakhulu "egcwele igazi-umthengisi wezikhali" ngonyaka kusuka manje KANYE neTrump yesibili.
Yini engenziwa amasosha angahlanganisiwe ukwenza lokho kube lula? Ngabe uTrump wayezozama ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ukungazithobi kohlobo lukaMilley akunakwenzeka? Angakwenza lokho? Akungabazeki. Isisekelo sisethiwe. Yebo, isifungo siqondene noMthethosisekelo; kodwa uMthethosisekelo ucacile ukuthi uMongameli ungumphathi omkhulu; usihlalo we-JCS akayona. Qhubeka ucabange ukuthi yiziphi izifundo uXI noPutin abangazithola kukho konke lokhu.
Kwakufanele enzeni uMilley? Nanku umqondo. SUSA KABUSHA bese wenza isibonelo kuwo WONKE amasosha angaphansi kwakhe bese UXWAYISA isizwe ngamagama athile. Kwazi bani, mhlawumbe isibonelo sakhe singaholela ekusuleni kwabanye kuhlu lomyalo wenuzi.
Manje sengikhumbula lelo bhizinisi mayelana noNancy Pelosi enxusa uMilley ukuthi amelane nemiyalo evela kuTrump. Lokho, ngokubona kwami, kuhlanganisa inkinga yomthethosisekelo.
Ekugcineni, uMilley uqobo ukhonjisiwe - ekhasini lokuqala le- NYTimes ngo-9/11/2021 - ukuba umqambimanga we-crass. Nasi isihloko: “Ubufakazi Buphikisana Nathi [UMilley] Isimangalo Sebhomu le-ISIS eKabul Drone Strike” - lowo owabulala izingane eziyisikhombisa, owayesiza abantu, et al. Futhi i- NYT ukumbozwa kufakiwe, kabili, ividiyo eyanele yalabo abakhetha ukubheka nokubona kunokufunda. (Lokhu kubukeka kukusha, futhi kubalulekile, kimina. Kunokuqhekeka ezembathweni ze-NYT maqondana noMilley, okudingeka ukuthi kulandelwe ngaphambi kokuba kunanyathiselwe eduze.)
Ngamanye amagama, kulo mongo i-MICIMATT manje isino “M” wokuqala onamasosha omzimba athikamezekile. U- “M” kungenzeka adalulwe futhi asikwe phezulu. Ake ngiphakamise ukuthi, okungenani ngaleyo ndatshana yekhasi langaphambili ku-9/11/21, i NYT kungahle kube ukufaka isikhundla sikaKayafase, umpristi ophakeme obheke eMbusweni wangaphambili. “Kungcono ukuthi kufe umuntu oyedwa,” kuthiwa wachaza wathi: “Awuboni yini ukuthi kusizuzisa ukuthi kufe umuntu oyedwa… kunokuba kubhujiswe isizwe sonke.” (“Isizwe” kulowo mongo kwakusho uhlelo lwelungelo oluthokozelwa abasebenzisana neRoma - abapristi abakhulu, abameli, kanye nabo bonke abakwaMICIMATT bangalolo suku.)
Kodwa-ke ngithola umbono wokuthi indlela abanye abezindaba abaxhaphaza ngayo incwadi kaWoodward / Costa kungasho ukuthi iMICIMATT manje isivala izigaba zokufaka uMilley uqobo "njengomuntu onobuhle."
Ake sibone ukuthi abezindaba bezinkampani manje baziphatha kanjani izindaba zanamuhla zokuthi uGeneral Milley usidukise sonke lapho ethi isiteleka se-drone sase-US eKabul ngo-Agasti 29 "sasilungile", sabulala inkampani ye-ISIS. Ngemuva kokwethula uhlobo lophenyo olujwayele ukuthatha izinyanga zePentagon, ibike namuhla ukuthi, cha, bekuyizingane eziyi-7 umsebenzi wezosizo ovela enhlanganweni engenzi nzuzo yase-US, nabanye ababili ababulewe. Okutholakele, osekuvele kusobala kubafundi be-NY Times, kuza ngokushesha okungavamile. Uma uBiden engenaso isibindi sokuxosha uMilley, ake siphokophele ukumsusa - noma ngabe uyisimungulu, akavumelekile, uyimbumbulu - noma bobathathu.
ngenzile ingxoxo kulokhu okungenhla ngolwesihlanu.
