The umbhalo oputshukile (ukuya e-El Pais yaseSpain) yempendulo yeWashington eziphakamisweni zokuphepha zaseRussia zangoDisemba iveza kahle ukuthi ekugcineni i-Ukraine izothula ngokuthula. Impendulo yase-US ingase ibonakale kube yingxenye yesinkwa kuphela, kodwa kufaka phakathi isishukela esimnandi - ukuqinisekiswa.
Impendulo kaWashington "okungelona iphepha" ikhuluma ngqo nokukhathazeka okukhulu kukaPutin. (I-Spoiler yanoma yibaphi abafundi abasha be-antiwar.com: Akukhona lokho okungenzeka ukuthi ucabanga ngakho; akusona isifiso sikaPutin esinganeliseki sokwenza i-NATO isayine ucezu lwephepha oluvimbela ubulungu be-Ukraine; leso esinye isinkwa, futhi isiphenduke isidala - kanye ne-mot.)
Esikhundleni salokho, okukhathaza kakhulu uPutin kudala ukuthi iziqhumane ezicitshwayo manje zisatshalaliswa eRomania futhi maduze, uma kungenjalo, ePoland (okungenzeka ukuthi ivikela imicibisholo) ingamukela imicibisholo ye-Tomahawk cruise enobubanzi obubeka amabutho aseRussia engcupheni. UPutin uzwakalise lokho kukhathazeka iminyaka eminingi.
Isibonelo, ngemuva kokuketula umbuso okwakuhlelwe yi-US eKiev ngoFebhuwari 2014, u-Putin wachaza esidlangalaleni ukuthi izinhlelo ze-US/NATO zokusatshalaliswa kwezinhlelo ze-ABM endaweni esentshonalanga yeRussia “zibe yisici esibaluleke kakhulu” esinqumweni saseMoscow sokuhlanganisa iCrimea kunethuba lokuthi I-Ukraine ijoyina i-NATO. (Ngokwesibonelo esisodwa esibaluleke kakhulu, abafundi bayamenywa buka isiqeshana esifushane ekhombisa ukukhungatheka kukaPutin eminyakeni eyisithupha edlule ngokungakwazi kwakhe ukugcizelela ezintathelini zaseNtshonalanga ukuphuthuma kokufakwa kwemicibisholo ye-“ABM”.)
At Isithangami sabezindaba sangoLwesibili, uPutin waqala ngesikhumbuzo sokuthi iRussia "yayiboshiwe" lapho iNtshonalanga ithembisa ngo-1990 ukuthi ngeke isuse i-NATO eyintshi eyodwa ngasempumalanga. U-Putin wabe eseveza ukuthi, ngemuva kokuthi i-US ihoxile ku-AMB Treaty:
“Manje imicibisholo ye-anti-ballistic itshalwe e-Romania futhi isamiswa ePoland. … Lezi iziqalisi ze-MK-41 ezingathula i-Tomahawks. Ngamanye amazwi, akuseyona nje imicibisholo ejikijelwayo, futhi lezi zikhali zokuhlasela zingamboza izinkulungwane zamakhilomitha endaweni yethu. Akulona yini usongo kithi lokho?”
Kuthiwani ngokuthunyelwa okufanayo e-Ukraine? I-US isivele ivumile ukuthi ngeke ikwenze lokho. Abezindaba baseNtshonalanga bakuphuthele lokhu, kodwa ukufunda eRussia yengxoxo yocingo yangoDisemba 30 phakathi kukaBiden noPutin ifake lokhu:
"... UJoseph Biden ugcizelele ukuthi iRussia ne-US babelane ngomsebenzi okhethekile wokuqinisekisa uzinzo eYurophu nasemhlabeni wonke nokuthi IWashington yayingenanhloso yokuthumela izikhali ezihlaselayo e-Ukraine.” [Kugcizelelwa.]
Shunqa Lelo Pipe Lokuthula Gcwalisa Labo Tomahawks
I-US "okungelona iphepha" evezwe izolo ngu-El Pais, ibhalwe "imfihlo", kanye nokumangala okuncane. Ngokusobala, abaphathi beBiden bebengafuni ukuvuza kwayo ekuhlolweni, ngokwesibonelo, ukuvuza. Kuzofika njengokushaqeka kulabo ababikezela (abanye babo empeleni bethemba) okubi kakhulu. Iphephandaba laseWashington elingelona iphepha lizwakalisa ukuzimisela ukuxoxa “ngendlela esobala yokuqinisekisa ukungabikho kwemicibisholo ye-Tomahawk cruise at … amasayithi aseRomania nasePoland.” Ngamanye amazwi, ukuqinisekiswa; okusebenze kahle esikhathini esidlule - ngeSivumelwano se-INF, isibonelo, esibone lonke ikilasi lemicibisholo ejikijelwayo yebanga eliphakathi nelifushane licekeleke phansi.
Futhi akumangazi ukuthi i-US yacela amaRussia (kanye nabo bonke abanye) ukuthi bagcine imfihlo "okungeyona yephepha". Inkimbinkimbi ye-Military-Industrial-Congressional-Intelligence-Media-Academia-Think-Tank (MICIMATT) izobe ihlangene, ngomqondo ongokomfanekiso. Ingasaphathwa iRaytheon, eyenza futhi idayise amaTomahawks (ngamaRandi ayizigidi ezimbili lilinye). Bheka, isibonelo: Izinkampani Eziphezulu Zezikhali Ziziqhayisa Nge-Ukraine-Russia Ukungezwani Kuyisibusiso Ebhizinisini.
Isimemezelo izolo sokuthi i-US ithumela amasosha angu-3,000 aseMelika eMpumalanga Yurophu kuhloswe ukugcizelela ukuthi iWashington izimisele ukubhekana noPutin phansi. Ukunyakaza kuzobonakala kabanzi ngophawu oluyikho.
