Ukuba ngumphenyi wezepolitiki kufanele futhi kusho ukulwa nempi.

I-logical layout kufanele ijwayele manje - futhi i-Iraq yisinye isibonelo. I-America kanye nabalingani bayo basiza ukubeka imfucuza emazweni amaningi amaSulumane futhi kunikeze ukwanda kwamabutho ahlomile, abanye babo abashaqisa abantu bendawo. Izakhiwo zezimboni zamasosha ziyazuza. Umphakathi ohlosiwe ulahlekelwa izindlela zokukhiqiza: ingqalasizinda inqatshiwe, izinsizakalo zezenhlalakahle ziyeka ukusebenza, imisebenzi ishiywe, amanani akhuphuka, ukuphepha kuyabhidliza, izindlu ziqothulwa, kanye nokufa kwabantu. Izigidi zababaleki zibalekela, ingxenye encane yazo eya eNtshonalanga. Phakathi naleso sikhathi kukhona ukuhlaselwa ngezikhathi ezithile eYurophu naseNyakatho Melika ngokubambisana okuphawulekayo kwababhikishi ezindaweni lapho iNtshonalanga ihlaselwa khona futhi ababaleki babhekana nokucwasa nokucwaswa komthetho lapho befuna ukuphila okusha emazweni awonakele labo asebekhulile.
Lezi ziphethini ezihlelekile ziye zafinyelela eTrump ezama ukuvimbela ababaleki ngezinsuku ze-120 futhi zibeka imikhawulo yesikhathi eside kubantu abavela emazweni amaningi ayisikhombisa amaSulumane ngesikhathi esifanayo lapho ukuphathwa okusha kuvuselela impi eyengeziwe emazweni amaningi amaSulumane.
Ngokushesha nje lapho iTrump ingeniswe, iwebhusayithi ye-White House ibhalwe ngokufushane okubukeziwe ezindaweni eziningana zenqubomgomo. Lesi sici se-bellicose impahla ibiza amazwe amabili ukuthi ukuphatha kubonakala sengathi "kuyingozi" e-United States: North Korea ne-Iran.
Ukuhlaselwa kwezempi e-United States ngokuqondile e-Iran kuyoba ukwephulwa komthetho wamazwe omhlaba okwakungafaka izinkulungwane zabantu base-Iranian izinhlekelele, kubhubhise izinsizakalo zomphakathi, kwenze ama-Irani abe mpofu, futhi adale enye ingxube yababaleki. Kungenzeka lokhu kwenzeke kungokoqobo. Ithimba likaTrump liqukethe abantu abanerekhodi elide lokulwa ne-Iran njengomqondisi we-CIA Mike Pompeo, UNobhala wezokuVikela uJames Mattis, futhi owayengumeluleki wezokuphepha kulelizwe uMichael Flynn. Muva nje uFlynn ubeke i-Iran "isaziso" futhi ngosuku olulandelayo ukuphathwa kukaTrump kufakwe izigwebo ezintsha ezweni.
Amalungu aphezulu e-NSC kaTrump aphakamisa ukukhathazeka okufanayo. UColonel Derek Harvey osethathe umhlalaphansi wase-US, ohola ithimba leNational Security Council (NSC) Middle East njengomsizi okhethekile kumongameli kanye nomxhumanisi we-White House eMiddle East naseNyakatho Afrika, unomlando wokugxila ekutheni "uziphindisela emuva kanjani ”Ngokumelene ne-Iran. UColonel Joel Rayburn, osebenza njengomqondisi we-NSC e-Iraq, Iran, Lebanon naseSyria, uyisikhulu sezobunhloli samabutho njengoHarvey "onombono omfushane" nge-Iran. Phakathi ku ucingo lwefoni phakathi kweTrump neNkosi uSalman waseSaudi Arabia, umlingani oyinhloko wase-United States obona i-Iran njengesitha saso esiyinhloko, bobabili bavuma "ukubhekana" ne-Iran "yokulimaza imisebenzi yesifunda."
Lokhu kungase kube uphawu lweengozi eLebhanon uma ukuphatha kungenqume ukwehlisa i-Iran ngokulandela i-Hezbollah, i-ally yase-Lebanon. Isigaba esiphezulu sase-United States sibona i-Iran njengesivimbela umgomo waseMelika wokugcina ubukhosi eMiddle East, iphrojekthi lapho u-Israyeli edlala khona ingxenye ebalulekile.
Bobabili abakwa-Israyeli nabama-America sebeye bazama ukukhuluma ngokuthi u-Iran uzosongela u-Israyeli kanye ne-Iran-Hamas. Nakuba i-Trump igxeke isimemezelo sika-Israyeli sokwakhiwa kwayo kwendawo yokuhlala yakamuva, lesi sitatimende singabonakala njengesinye isibonelo sephethini eside: U-Israyeli wakha izindawo ezingekho emthethweni kanye nezombusazwe zaseMelika ngezikhathi ezithile akhipha ukusola okuncane ngenkathi enikeza u-Israyeli isembozo sezombangazwe, izikhali, futhi imali idinga ukwakha futhi ithwale izinhlu eziningi zobugebengu lapho i-United States iqhaza khona.
U-Obama, isibonelo, wagxekwa ukukhuliswa komhlalaphansi kodwa wasekela ukuhlasela okukhulu kwe-Israel eGaza. Ngesonto eledlule i-Israel Knesset yadlulisa umthetho ozokwenza izinkulungwane zezindawo zaseWest Bank zilandelwe ngokomthetho ngaphansi komthetho wakwa-Israyeli kanye ne-Trump inqatshiwe ukuphawula.
Kunezimpawu zokunye ukuhlaselwa okukhulu kwe-Israel-US kumaPalestine okungenzeka ukuthi akukude. NgoFebhuwari 7, u-Israyeli wenza amabhanoyi e-airstriling kanye nokudubula okukhulu kwezikhali eGaza, isenzo i-Al Mezan Center for Human Rights ichaza njengoba "ukukhumbuza ama-preludes ekuhlaselweni kuka-Israyeli okubanzi eGaza." Ezinsukwini ezimbili kamuva ngemuva kwekhanda lomkhonto emngceleni waseGibhithe-eGaza, u-Israyeli uphika ukwenza, wabulala amaPalestina amabili. Muva nje amaPalestina avumile ukusebenzisana ngobunye futhi ngesikhathi sokugcina enza kanjalo, ku-2014, U-Israyeli wasabela ngokubulala 2,251 abantu eGaza nabasekelo base-US. AmaRiphablikhi akwenzile izithembiso ezivusa amadlingozi mayelana nokuthutha i-embassy yaseMelika e-Israyeli eJerusalema futhi iqaphela umuzi njengenhloko "ye-Israyeli engunaphakade."
Kungakhathaliseki lokho okwenzekayo ithimba leTrump ukuma kuya ePalestina iphakamisa ukuthi izoqhubeka ihlinzeka u-Israyeli izindlela zokubulala, ukucindezela, nokuxosha abasePalestina, mhlawumbe ukudala ababaleki abaningi basePalestina futhi ngokuqinisekile benze konke okusemandleni ukuvimbela cishe amaphiliyoni angu-8 ePalestina abesevele sebebalekele ukubuyela emakhaya abo.
I-American, i-Israel, ne-Saudi inzondo e-Iran nayo ihlangana ne-Yemen, kuphi ngokudlulele kakhulu Kuthiwa izibopho zase-Iranian kumaqembu ezihlubuki zaseHouthi zisetshenziselwa ukufakazela a Impi yase-US-Saudi ezweni. Izindleko zempi ziyamangalisa. Ezweni elinabantu abangu-27 million, 182,011 I-Yemenis iye yaxoshwa futhi ngaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-2 basuswe ezindlini. Ngaphezulu kwabantu abayi-7,000, ikakhulu izakhamizi, kukhona bafile kanye ne-38,280 balimala; Izigidi ezingu-19 azikwazi ukuthola amanzi okuphuza okuphephile noma ukuhlanza utshwala; Izigidi ezingu-14 zingukuphepha kokudla, izigidi ezingu-7 zivikelekile kakhulu, kanti izingane eziyizigidi ezingu-3.3 kanye nabesifazane abakhulelwe noma abancelisayo basondlekile ngokweqile. Izimo ezinjalo zizoholela ekukhuleni kwamanani ababaleki base-Yemeni.
Bonke ubufakazi bukhombisa ukuthi uhulumeni kaTrump uzogcina ubukhulu bokuhlaselwa kweYemen uma engabashayeli. UFlynn ubalule ngokukhethekile ukwesekwa kwe-Iranian ngamaHouthis njengesizathu sezitatimende zakhe ezinolaka ngokumelene ne-Iran. Ingxoxo kaTrump noSalman ngeYemen yayihilela ingxoxo ngokwakha “izindawo eziphephile” eYemen, inhloso engafinyelelwa kuphela ngezindlela zamasosha. Kakade uTrump ubulala abantu e-Yemen ngakolunye uhlangothi: ekuhlaselweni okubonakala kwenziwe ukulwa ne-al-Qaeda's Yemeni franchise - a imbangi we-Houthis - US Navy Seals wabulala abaningi abangamashumi amabili nantathu abahlali, eziyishumi zazo izingane.
Ukuphatha kukaTrump kukhulume nokuthi kungenzeka ukuthi kutholakale "izindawo eziphephile" eSiriya. I-Trump kulindeleke ukuthi ilandise i-Pentagon noMnyango WezoMbuso ukuhlela uhlelo lokwenza kanjalo, ukuthutha kweReuters imibiko "Kungabangela ingozi yokubamba iqhaza kwezempi e-US empini yase-Syria," mhlawumbe kwaze kwaba seqophelweni lokufaka amabutho empi. I-United States nama-proxies ayo kakade adlale ingxenye ebalulekile ebudloveni obuphoqelele izigidi eziyishumi nanye AbaseSyria abavela emakhaya abo, abacishe babe yizigidi ezinhlanu babo abashiye izwe. Izingxoxo zokuqeda impi yaseSyria ziyaqhubeka. Iqhaza laseMelika ezingxoxweni lincane futhi umphumela wezingxoxo uyangabazeka kakhulu.
Okungabazeki ukuthi i-Trump ihlose ukuqhubeka ibhomu iSiriya ne-Iraq egameni lokubhubhisa i-ISIS. Inqubomgomo kaTrump ihlolisisa izifungo zokunqoba i-ISIS "namanye amaqembu amakhulu amaphekula amaSulumane" ngokuphishekela "ukusebenzisana kwezempi ngokubambisana nokubambisana lapho kudingekile." I-United-led ledal coalition ine ilahle izibhamu ze-65,731 kanye nemicibisholo eSiriya nase-Iraq futhi yabulala abantu abalinganiselwa ku-2,358 abasuka kulo mkhankaso owaqala ngo-Agasti 2014.
Kunzima ukucabanga ukuthi lezi zokufa zizoqeda isifunda se-ISIS noma amafomu afanayo njengama-militarism eholwa yi-US hhayi nje kuphela ehluleka ukubhekana nezimbangela eziphakamisa lawo maqembu kodwa wona ngokwawo imbangela ehamba phambili yokwanda kwazo. Imibiko kukhombisa ukuthi cishe abantu abayishumi nesishiyagalolunye babulawa ngamabhomu ahlangene eRaqqa, eSiriya kusukela uTrump eqala ukusebenza. Ukutholakala kwaleli qembu kuphinde kuphakanyiswe ukuthi ama-airstrikes ahlangene eMosul, e-Iraq aphindaphindiwe abulala inqwaba yabantu abavela kuTrump afungelwe: bavele babulala abantu abayishumi nanhlanu ngoJanuwari 21, ngaphezulu kukaJanuwari 26, ngolunye usuku lwangamashumi amabili ngosuku olulandelayo, eziyisikhombisa ngoJanuwari 29, neshumi nanye ngosuku ngosuku.
Lokhu kungukuthi udlame lwalokho okukude nokude ukuhlelwa komphakathi okubulalayo kakhulu emhlabeni, umbuso wase-US. I-American hegemony eMpumalanga Ephakathi iyaqhubeka ihloselwe, njengoba uNowaam Chomsky echaza ngakho I-Triangle Enhle, ukulawula "izindawo zokugcina amanzi kanye nokugeleza kwe-petrodollars."
Ukusekela imperialism kuhilela ukuphinda uphinde uphinde ubeke ingcebo ngaphezulu: Izisebenzi zaseMelika zikhokha intela futhi imali eningi inikwe abakhokheli bemboni yokufa. Ngakho imperialism yiprojekthi yeklasini futhi ingabonakala njengeplanethi eyodwa yemizamo yokuphatha entsha ukunika amandla amandla futhi ukunciphisa umsebenzi. Ukugqugquzelwa kwezikhungo zezimpi eziningi zama-imperialist, njenganini ngaphambili, kuhamba phambili.
Lapho uFlynn esongela i-Iran, izimakethe zamafutha zihlambalaza. Umdwebo we-website ye-White House wezempi inqubomgomo yenza kucace ukuthi imboni "yokuvikela" ingalindela izipho ezivulekile ezivela kubakhokhi bentela baseMelika. Ithi "impi idinga zonke izimpahla ezingasetshenziswa ukuze zivikele iMelika" futhi izithembiso ukuthi amanye amazwe ngeke akwazi ukudlula amakhono asezempi ase-US. Uhulumeni omusha "uzokwakha kabusha" amasosha futhi anikeze abaholi bezempi "izindlela zokuhlela izidingo zethu zokuzivikela esikhathini esizayo" ngokukhulisa ubukhulu bombutho womoya kanye ne-navy ngoba "ukubusa kwethu kwezempi akufanele kube nokuphikisana."
Yiqiniso, i-Trump ayizange ibe yinto engafani nalokhu ngaphambili njenganoma yimuphi omunye futhi igxeke izinkontileka zempi ezivimbekile, kodwa isisindo sobufakazi sibonisa ukuthi ukwakhelwa kwezempi kusekuseni. UWilliam D. Hartung, umqondisi weProjekthi Yezempi Nezokuphepha esikhungweni seNqubomgomo Yomhlaba Wonke, uveza ukuthi okhethweni lukaTrump inani lamasheya osonkontileka bezempi uLokheed Martin, uRaytheon, Northrop Grumman, noHuntington Ingalls lenyuke kakhulu. Abanye abaseTrump-o-sphere banezibopho ezibanzi embonini yempi; ngokwesibonelo, uMira Ricardel, owayeyisikhulu esiphezulu emicibisholo yamasu kaBoeing nasophikweni lwezokuvikela, owayephethe ingxenye yezokuvikela yethimba lezinguquko likaTrump.
UMattis unayo wenza izigidi ezisebenza embonini yempi. Imishini yokufa ngeke ishiywe ingenzi lutho: kufanele isetshenziselwe ukudala ukufuna igagasi elilandelayo lezigidigidi emalini yomphakathi elizonikezwa abahlomuli bempi.
Ukukhipha imishini yokufa kusho ukubulawa kwabantu abaningi abampofu, ukubhujiswa okuphelele komphakathi eNingizimu Afrika, nokwenqaba ilungelo lezigidi lokuzibusa. Izimpi eziqhubekayo zidinga ukumiswa futhi ezintsha zichaswe ngaphambi kokuba ziqale. Ukuze lokho kwenzeke ukuthi ungumphenyi wezepolitiki kumele futhi kusho ukulwa nompi.
Ukuphikisana nokususwa ngokuphoqelelwa kwabantu abavela emindenini yabo nasemiphakathini ngabahulumeni esiphila kuwo kuyadingeka ukuba kube yinto ephambili yezopolitiki. Ukuphikisana okuphefumulelwe nokuphefumulayo kumanyathelo kahulumeni we-Trump anti-refugee kuyithuba elibalulekile ukuvusa nokuvuselela inhlangano ye-moribund antiwar. Imingcele kufanele ivuleke. Kodwa udlame kumele futhi luphele ukuze ilungelo lababaleki libuyele emizini yabo - ePalestine noma eSiriya noma eYemen noma ngabe ikuphi - kungadingeka. Futhi kubalulekile ukuthi simise abantu abaningi ukuba bangabi ababaleki endaweni yokuqala.
