Ngo-2019, i-RAND Corporation tentacle ye-US Military Industrial Congressional "Intelligence" Media Academic "Think" Tank Complex. yanyathelisa umbiko abathi "benze ukuhlolwa kwekhwalithi 'kwezinketho ezibiza izindleko' ezingase zingalingani futhi zandise iRussia."
Nansi enye “yezinketho ezibiza izindleko,” uMongameli waseMelika uBarack Obama abekade enqaba, kodwa ngo-2019, i-RAND yayilungiselela ushintsho lombuso ekhaya: “Ukuhlinzeka ngosizo olubulalayo e-Ukraine.”
Ukwenza lokho, i-RAND yathi, “kuzosebenzisa iphuzu elikhulu laseRussia lokuba sengozini kwangaphandle. Kepha noma yikuphi ukwanda kwezikhali zamasosha ase-US nezeluleko eziya e-Ukraine kuzodinga ukulinganisa ngokucophelela ukuze kwenyuswe izindleko eRussia zokusekela ukuzibophezela kwayo okukhona ngaphandle kokuvusa ingxabano ebanzi lapho iRussia, ngenxa yokusondelana, izoba nezinzuzo ezibalulekile. ”
Kuze kube manje ukulinganisa kubonakala kulungile, njengoba “ukungqubuzana okubanzi kakhulu” akukenzeki. Kepha Amalungu eCongress/Parliament, abathengisi bezikhali, kanye nezibukeli ezishisekayo zifuna lokhu e-United States, kwezinye izizwe ze-NATO, naseRussia. Umbono wokukwazi “ukulinganisa” kahle lezi zinto uye waphikiswa izinkulungwane zezikhathi. Ukuzikhukhumeza okunyanyekayo kombiko we-RAND otusa ukwanda kwezinsongo zezempi nezenuzi eRussia kubonisa indlela abantu abayizimpumputhe abangaba ngayo ezingozini abazenzayo.
Ngakho-ke, yebo, kuhle ukuba nemithombo yezindaba yase-US ngokuzumayo ngokumelene nempi futhi isekela imibhikisho, kanye nokuzwelana nezisulu. Omunye angase acabange ukuthi abezindaba base-US abakwazi ukwenza izinto ezinjalo ngemva kwayo yonke le minyaka nazo zonke lezi zimpi. Kodwa khumbula ukuthi umbiko ozwakalayo ozwakalayo mayelana “nezinketho ezibiza kakhulu” wawuyisu lokubeka engozini ukubulawa kwezingane ezincane e-Ukraine.
Futhi, yebo, izigebengu eziphethe uhulumeni waseRussia kanye nezempi, ngokumangalisayo, zinesibopho sobugebengu bazo.
Uhulumeni wase-Ukraine okhetha ukuhlangabezana nodlame ngodlame, ngemuva kokuqala ukwanda kodlame e-Donbass ngesonto eledlule, naye unecala ngalokho.
Kepha izinyathelo ezithathwe uhulumeni wase-US, uhulumeni wase-Ukraine, kanye nabalingani be-NATO ezinyangeni ezisanda kwedlula, iminyaka, namashumi eminyaka ukufinyelela kuleli qophelo, ukwenqaba ukuhlangabezana nezidingo zaseRussia ezinengqondo, impi ehlala ikhula njalo - labo hulumeni basalokhu benesibopho lezo zinto futhi.
Umbiko we-RAND unethemba lokuthi kuzoba nemibhikisho engenalo udlame eRussia. Ukuthi amaRussia manje abhikishela uhulumeni wawo ngesihluku sakamuva enza lokho i-RAND enethemba layo akusho ukuthi benza okungalungile. Kusho nje ukuqaphela ukuxhashazwa komphumela.
Uma uhulumeni wase-US ekwazi ukuhlela ukuketula umbuso e-Kyiv ngo-2014, lapho abantu abavamile nabo babenezikhalazo ezisemthethweni - njengoba behlale benza njalo, bese usula lowo mlando cishe phakathi neminyaka eyisishiyagalombili, khona-ke ungahlela nomphumela wenguquko yaseRussia, into eyazama kodwa akuphumelelanga ngo-1919 futhi ibilokhu izama kusukela ngaleso sikhathi - enye into eye yasulwa ngempumelelo ezincwadini zomlando.
