Umbono Wentatheli YaseRussia

NguDavid Swanson

UDmitri Babich usebenze njengentatheli eRussia kusukela ngo-1989, kumaphephandaba, izinhlangano zezindaba, umsakazo kanye nethelevishini. Uthi ubehlale exoxisana nabantu, muva nje abantu bexoxa naye.

NgokukaBabich, izinganekwane mayelana nemithombo yezindaba yaseRussia, njengokuthi umuntu akakwazi ukugxeka umongameli waseRussia, zingaqedwa ngokuvakashela amawebhusayithi ezindaba zaseRussia nokusebenzisa i-Google Translator. Maningi amaphephandaba eRussia aphikisa uPutin kunokumeseka, kusho uBabich.

Uma izindaba zaseRussia ziyi-propaganda, u-Babich uyabuza, kungani abantu besaba kangaka? Ingabe ukhona owake wesaba inkulumo-ze kaBrezhnev? (Umuntu angase aphendule ngokuthi ibingatholakali ku-inthanethi noma kumabonakude.) Ngokombono ka-Babich usongo lwezindaba zaseRussia lusekunembeni kwazo, hhayi emangeni azo. Ngama-1930s, uthi, abezindaba baseFrance nabaseBrithani, ngendlela "enhle" enhle, baphakamisa ukuthi uHitler wayengeyona into ekhathazayo kakhulu. Kodwa abezindaba baseSoviet babelungile uHitler. (KuStalin mhlawumbe hhayi kangako.)

Namuhla, u-Babich uphakamisa ukuthi, abantu benza iphutha elifanayo nelenziwe abezindaba baseBrithani naseFrance ngaleso sikhathi, behluleka ukumelana ngokufanelekile nombono oyingozi. Iyiphi imibono? Lokho kwe-neoliberal militarism. U-Babich ukhomba ekuphenduleni okusheshayo kwe-NATO kanye nokusungulwa kweWashington kunoma yiziphi iziphakamiso ezivela kuDonald Trump zokudambisa ubutha obubhekiswe eRussia.

U-Babich akanalwazi ngoTrump. Yize ethi uBarack Obama nguyena obengumengameli omubi kunabo bonke baseMelika, akabikezeli izinto ezinhle kuTrump. U-Obama, u-Babich uyachaza, wayengakwazi ukufanisa impi yakhe. Ubeke unswinyo eRussia olwalimaza kakhulu izinhlangano ezisekela amazwe aseNtshonalanga. “Waba isisulu senkulumo-ze yakhe siqu.”

Ngibuze u-Babich ukuthi kungani ngizwe ukuphawula okuhle kangaka ngoTrump kubantu abaningi baseRussia. Impendulo yakhe: "Uthando olungaguquki nge-US," kanye "nethemba," kanye nomcabango wokuthi ngenxa yokuthi uTrump unqobile kumele ahlakaniphe kunalokho abonakala. “Abantu bayakuzonda ukuvuka,” kuphetha uBabich.

Ecindezelwa ukuthi abantu bangalibeka kanjani ithemba kuTrump, uBabich wathi ngenxa yokuthi iRussia ayikaze yenziwe ikoloni (nakuba iSweden noNapoleon noHitler bezama), amaRussia manje afunda lokho okwakuqondwa ama-Afrika amakoloni ngamazwe aseNtshonalanga ngamakoloni.

Ebuzwa ukuthi kungani iRussia izokwenza ubudlelwano neChina ne-Iran, uBabich uphendule ngokuthi i-US ne-EU ngeke babe neRussia, ngakho-ke ithatha izinqumo zayo zesibili.

Ebuzwa ngezintatheli zaseRussia ezibulewe, uBabich uthe nakuba kwabulawa abaningi ngesikhathi sikaBoris Yeltsin, unemibono emibili. Enye ukuthi ophikisana noPutin unesibopho. U-Babich uqambe usopolitiki owashona ngesikhathi sokubulawa kokugcina. Omunye umbono uwukuthi abantu abathukuthele abezindaba banesibopho. UBabich uthe ngeke akwazi ukuwuthatha ngokungathi sína umbono wokuthi uPutin nguyena ozoba necala lokubulala umuntu eduze kwaseKremlin.

Ebuzwa mayelana nendlela kamabonakude iRT (Russia Today), uBabich uthe indlela yesikhungo sezindaba iRia Novosti yokuzama ukulingisa New York Times abatholanga balandeli ngoba abantu sebengakwazi ukufunda nje New York Times. Ngokuphikisa ubugebengu base-US kanye nokunikeza izwi kweminye imibono i-RT ithole izethameli. Ngicabanga ukuthi le ncazelo ifakazelwa umbiko we-CIA ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka ubeka ingozi ye-RT. Ukube abezindaba base-US bebehlinzeka ngezindaba, abantu baseMelika bebengeke bafune izindaba kwenye indawo.

Mina no-Babich saxoxa ngalezi nezinye izihloko ohlelweni lwe-RT "Crosstalk" ngeSonto. Ividiyo kufanele, maduze noma kamuva, zithunyelwe lapha.
