I-virtual kaMongameli Biden Ingqungquthela Yentando Yeningi ngoDisemba 9-10 uyingxenye yomkhankaso wokubuyisela ukuma kwe-United States emhlabeni, owathatha igalelo elinjalo ngaphansi kwezinqubomgomo eziguquguqukayo zikaMongameli uTrump. UBiden unethemba lokuvikela indawo yakhe ekhanda letafula elithi “Izwe Elikhululekile” ngokuphuma njengomshayi wamalungelo abantu kanye nezinqubo zentando yeningi emhlabeni wonke.
Inani elikhulu elingaba khona lalo mbuthano we Amazwe we-111 ukuthi esikhundleni salokho kungase kusebenze “njengokungenelela,” noma ithuba lokuthi abantu nohulumeni emhlabeni wonke baveze ukukhathazeka kwabo mayelana namaphutha entando yeningi yase-US kanye nendlela engenademokhrasi i-United States esebenzelana ngayo nomhlaba wonke. Nazi izinto ezimbalwa okufanele zicatshangelwe:
- I-US ithi ingumholi wentando yeningi yomhlaba ngesikhathi lapho eyakhe vele inamaphutha amakhulu intando yeningi iyawohloka, njengoba kufakazelwa ukuhlaselwa okushaqisayo kwangoJanuwari 6 eCapitol yesizwe. Phezu kwenkinga yesistimu ye-duopoly egcina amanye amaqembu ezombusazwe evalelwe ngaphandle kanye nethonya elibi lemali kwezombusazwe, uhlelo lokhetho lwase-US luqhubeka lucekelwa phansi ngenxa yokuthambekela okwandayo kokuphikisana nemiphumela yokhetho ethembekile kanye nemizamo esabalele yokucindezela ukubamba iqhaza kwabavoti ( Izifundazwe eziyi-19 zenze ama-33 imithetho eyenza kube nzima kakhulu ukuze izakhamizi zivote).
Umhlaba obanzi usezingeni yamazwe ngezinyathelo ezahlukahlukene zentando yeningi ibeka i-US ku-# 33, kuyilapho i-Freedom House exhaswe nguhulumeni wase-US iklelisa I-united states usizi # 61 emhlabeni wenkululeko yezepolitiki kanye nenkululeko yomphakathi, ngokulingana neMongolia, iPanama neRomania.
- I-ajenda ye-US engashiwongo kule "ngqungquthela" iwukuba idemoni futhi ihlukanise iChina neRussia. Kodwa uma sivuma ukuthi imibuso yentando yeningi kufanele yahlulelwe ngendlela ephatha ngayo abantu bayo, pho kungani iCongress yaseMelika yehluleka ukuphasisa umthethosivivinywa wokuhlinzeka ngezinsizakalo eziyisisekelo njengokunakekelwa kwezempilo, ukunakekelwa kwezingane, izindlu kanye nemfundo, okuqinisekisiwe ezakhamuzini eziningi zaseShayina mahhala noma ngezindleko ezincane?
Futhi cabanga Impumelelo emangalisayo yaseShayina ekudambiseni ubumpofu. NjengoNobhala Jikelele we-UN u-Antonio Guterres wathi, “Njalo uma ngivakashela eShayina, ngimangazwa isivinini soshintsho nenqubekela phambili. Udale omunye weminotho eguquguqukayo kakhulu emhlabeni, ngenkathi usiza abantu abangaphezu kwezigidi ezingama-800 ukuthi bazikhiphe ebuphofini - impumelelo enkulu kakhulu yokulwa nobumpofu emlandweni."
I-China nayo isiyidlule kude i-US ekubhekaneni nalolu bhubhane. Akumangalisi ukuthi iNyuvesi yaseHarvard umbiko bathole ukuthi abangaphezu kuka-90% abantu baseShayina bathanda uhulumeni wabo. Umuntu angacabanga ukuthi impumelelo emangalisayo yaseChina yasekhaya ingenza abaphathi beBiden bazithobe kakhudlwana ngombono wabo wentando yeningi “wokulingana-konke”.
- Inkinga yesimo sezulu kanye nobhubhane kuwucingo lokuvusa ukubambisana komhlaba wonke, kodwa le Ngqungquthela yakhelwe ngokusobala ukubhebhethekisa ukuhlukana. Amanxusa aseShayina naseRussia eWashington aveze esidlangalaleni umsolwa i-United States yokuqhuba ingqungquthela ukuze kunqandwe ukungqubuzana kwemibono kanye nokuhlukanisa umhlaba ube amakamu anobutha, kuyilapho i-China ibambe umqhudelwano Iforamu Yentando Yeningi Yamazwe Ngamazwe namazwe ayi-120 ngempelasonto ngaphambi kwengqungquthela yase-US.
Ukumema uhulumeni waseTaiwan engqungqutheleni yase-US kuphinde kucekele phansi i-Shanghai Communiqué yango-1972, lapho i-United States yamukela khona Inqubomgomo ye-One-China futhi bavuma ukunciphisa ukufakwa kwezempi Taiwan.
Kumenyiwe futhi khohlakele uhulumeni omelene neRussia owafakwa wukuketula umbuso kuka-2014 okwasekelwa yi-US e-Ukraine, nokubikwa ukuthi sekwenzekile ingxenye yamabutho ayo ezempi ilungele ukuhlasela i-People's Republics eyazibiza ngokuthi i-People's Republics yaseDonetsk kanye ne-Luhansk eMpumalanga ye-Ukraine, eyamemezela inkululeko ngenxa yokuketula umbuso ngo-2014. I-US ne-NATO banayo kuze kube manje kusekelwe lokhu kukhula okukhulu kwe-a impi yezikhali lokho kakade kwabulala abantu abangu-14,000.
- I-US namadlelandawonye ayo aseNtshonalanga—abaholi abazigcobile bamalungelo abantu—bavele baba ngabahlinzeki abakhulu bezikhali nokuqeqeshwa kwabanye ababi kakhulu emhlabeni. abashiqela. Ngaphandle kokuzibophezela kwayo ngamazwi kumalungelo abantu, abaphathi beBiden kanye neCongress muva nje ugunyaze isikhali esiyizigidi ezingama- $650s isivumelwano seSaudi Arabia ngesikhathi lapho lo mbuso wengcindezelo uqhumisa amabhomu futhi ulambisa abantu baseYemen.
Heck, abaphathi baze basebenzise amadola entela aseMelika "ukunikela" ngezikhali kubashiqela, njengoJenene Sisi waseGibhithe, owengamele umbuso izinkulungwane yeziboshwa zezombangazwe, eziningi zazo ezike zaba khona behlushwa. Yebo, laba abambisene nabo base-US abazange bamenywe eNgqungqutheleni Yentando Yeningi—lokho bekuyoba amahloni kakhulu.
- Mhlawumbe othile kufanele azise uBiden ukuthi ilungelo lokusinda liyilungelo lomuntu eliyisisekelo. Ilungelo lokudla kuqashelwa ku-Universal Declaration of Human Rights yango-1948 njengengxenye yelungelo lezinga lokuphila elanele, futhi okufakiwe ku-1966 International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.
Ngakho kungani i-US icindezela unswinyo olunonya emazweni kusukela eVenezuela kuya eNyakatho Korea abangela ukwehla kwamandla emali, ukusweleka, nokungondleki kwezingane? Owayengunobhala okhethekile we-UN u-Alfred de Zayas usekwenzile ibhujiswe I-United States ngokuzibandakanya "ezimpini zezomnotho" futhi yaqhathanisa unswinyo olungekho emthethweni oluhlangene nokuvinjezelwa kwenkathi ephakathi. Alikho izwe elenqabela izingane ngamabomu ilungelo lokudla futhi lizibulale ngendlala elingazibiza ngeqhawe lentando yeningi.
- Kusukela e-United States wehlulwa yi-Taliban futhi yahoxisa amabutho ayo e-Afghanistan, isebenza njengesihlukumezi esikhulu futhi ihoxisa izibopho eziyisisekelo zamazwe ngamazwe nezobuntu. Impela ukubusa kweTaliban e-Afghanistan kuwukubuyisela emuva amalungelo abantu, ikakhulukazi abesifazane, kodwa ukudonsa ipulaki emnothweni wase-Afghanistan kuyinhlekelele esizweni sonke.
I-United States injalo ukuphika Ukufinyelela kukahulumeni omusha ezigidini zezigidi zamaRandi ezigciniwe zemali zangaphandle zase-Afghanistan ezigcinwe emabhange aseMelika, okubangele ukuwa kohlelo lwamabhange. Amakhulu ezinkulungwane zezisebenzi zikahulumeni azikaze zibe khona zikhokhwe. I-UN i isixwayiso ukuthi izigidi zabantu base-Afghan zisengozini yokufa yindlala kulobu busika ngenxa yalezi zinyathelo zokuphoqelela ezenziwa yi-United States namadlelandawonye ayo.
- Kuyasho ukuthi abaphathi beBiden babe nesikhathi esinzima sokuthola amazwe aseMpumalanga Ephakathi ukuthi awamemele engqungqutheleni. I-United States isanda kuchitha iminyaka engama-20 futhi $ 8 isigidintathu izama ukuphoqelela uhlobo lwayo lwentando yeningi eMpumalanga Ephakathi nase-Afghanistan, ngakho-ke ungacabanga ukuthi izoba nama-proteges ambalwa azowakhangisa.
Kodwa cha. Ekugcineni, bangavuma kuphela ukumema izwe lakwa-Israyeli, i umbuso wobandlululo ephoqelela ukuphakama kwamaJuda phezu kwawo wonke umhlaba ekuwo, ngokomthetho noma ngenye indlela. Benamahloni ngokungabi nazifundazwe zama-Arab ezihambelayo, abaphathi beBiden bengeza i-Iraq, uhulumeni wayo ongazinzile ukhungethwe inkohlakalo noqhekeko lwamahlelo kusukela i-US yahlasela ngo-2003. wabulawa bangaphezu kuka-600 ababhikishi kusukela kwaqala imibhikisho emikhulu emelene nohulumeni ngo-2019.
- Yini, thandaza utshele, intando yeningi mayelana US gulag at I-Guantánamo Bay? Uhulumeni wase-US wavula isikhungo sokuvalelwa e-Guantanamo ngoJanuwari 2002 njengendlela yokweqa umthetho njengoba wathumba futhi wavalela abantu ejele ngaphandle kwecala ngemuva kwamacala angoSepthemba 11, 2001. Kusukela lapho, Amadoda we-780 bavalelwe khona. Bambalwa kakhulu abamangalelwa nganoma yibuphi ubugebengu noma baqinisekiswa njengabalweli, kodwa noma kunjalo bahlukunyezwa, bagcinwa iminyaka ngaphandle kwamacala, futhi abakaze baquliswe icala.
Lokhu kwephulwa okwedlulele kwamalungelo abantu kusaqhubeka, iningi lazo 39 abasele iziboshwa akakaze abekwe icala lobugebengu. Yize kunjalo leli zwe elivalele amakhulu amadoda angenacala ngaphandle kwenqubo efanele iminyaka efika kwengama-20 lisathi linegunya lokukhipha isahlulelo ngezinqubo zomthetho zamanye amazwe, ikakhulukazi emizamweni yaseShayina yokubhekana ne-radicalism yobu-Islam kanye nobuphekula phakathi kwe-Uighur yayo. idlanzana.
- Ngophenyo lwakamuva lwe-March 2019 S. ukuqhuma kwamabhomu eSyria okwashiya izakhamuzi ezingu-70 zifile futhi isiteleka se-drone eyabulala umndeni wase-Afghan wabantu abayishumi ngo-Agasti 2021, iqiniso lokufa kwabantu abaningi ezitelekeni ze-drone zase-US kanye nokuhlasela kwezindiza liyavela kancane kancane, kanye nokuthi lobu bugebengu bempi buqhubekisele phambili kanjani futhi bubhebhethekise "impi yobushokobezi," esikhundleni sokuwina noma ukuphela. yona.
Ukube lena bekuyingqungquthela yentando yeningi yangempela, abaphihli bayathanda UDaniel Hale, Chelsea Manning futhi UJulian Assange, abaye bazifaka engozini enkulu ukuze baveze iqiniso lobugebengu bempi yase-US emhlabeni wonke, bazoba izihambeli ezihloniphekile engqungqutheleni esikhundleni seziboshwa zezombusazwe e-American gulag.
- I-United States ikhetha futhi ikhetha amazwe “njengamademokhrasi” ngendlela yokuzicabangela yona ngokuphelele. Kodwa endabeni yeVenezuela, iye yadlulela phambili futhi wamema “umongameli” oqokwe e-US esikhundleni sohulumeni wangempela wezwe.
Abaphathi bakaTrump bagcotshiwe Juan Guaidó "njengomongameli" waseVenezuela, futhi uBiden wamemela engqungqutheleni, kodwa uGuaidó akayena umongameli futhi akayena umuntu wentando yeningi, futhi waduba. ukhetho lwapalamende e 2020 futhi ukhetho lwesifunda ngo-2021. Kodwa u-Guaido uye waba phezulu kwesinye sakamuva inhlolovo yemibono, nokungavunyelwa okuphezulu komphakathi kwanoma yimuphi umuntu ophikisayo e-Venezuela kuma-83%, kanye nesilinganiso sokugunyazwa esiphansi esingu-13%.
UGuaidó waziqamba ngokuthi “umongameli wesikhashana” (ngaphandle kwegunya elisemthethweni) ngo-2019, futhi wethula ukukhishwa okuhlulekile ngokumelene nohulumeni okhethiwe waseVenezuela. Lapho yonke imizamo yakhe yase-US yokuketula uhulumeni yehluleka, uGuaidó wasayina isivumelwano ukuhlasela kwe-mercenary okwahluleka ngokumangalisayo nakakhulu. I-European Union akusenjalo uyasiqaphela isimangalo sikaGuaido ehhovisi likamongameli, kanye “nongqongqoshe wakhe wesikhashana wezangaphandle” usanda kwesula, esola uGuaidó nge inkohlakalo.
Isiphetho
Njengoba nje abantu baseVenezuela bengakhethanga noma baqoke uJuan Guaidó njengomongameli wabo, abantu bomhlaba abakayikhethi noma baqoke i-United States njengomongameli noma umholi wabo bonke abantu bomhlaba.
Ngenkathi iMelika iphuma eMpini Yezwe Yesibili njengamandla anamandla kwezomnotho nezempi emhlabeni, abaholi bayo baba nobuhlakani bokungayibambi indima enjalo. Esikhundleni salokho bahlanganisa umhlaba wonke ukuze bakhe iNhlangano Yezizwe Ezihlangene, ngezimiso zokulingana kobukhosi, ukungagxambukeli ezindabeni zangaphakathi zomunye nomunye, ukuzibophezela kwendawo yonke ekuxazululeni izingxabano ngokuthula kanye nokwenqatshelwa kokusongelwa noma ukusetshenziswa kwamandla komunye nomunye. okunye.
I-United States yajabulela ingcebo enkulu namandla omhlaba ngaphansi kohlelo lwe-UN eyalusungula. Kodwa enkathini yangemva kweMpi Yomshoshaphansi, abaholi baseMelika ababelambele amandla babona i-UN Charter kanye nokubusa komthetho wamazwe ngamazwe njengezithiyo ezifisweni zabo ezinganeliseki. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi bafaka isicelo sobuholi bomhlaba wonke kanye nokubusa, bethembele ekusangweni nasekusetshenzisweni kwamandla okuvinjelwa yi-UN Charter. Imiphumela ibe yinhlekelele ezigidini zabantu emazweni amaningi, kuhlanganise nabaseMelika.
Njengoba i-United States imeme abangani bayo abavela emhlabeni wonke kule “ngqungquthela yentando yeningi,” mhlawumbe bangasebenzisa lesi senzakalo ukuze bazame ukuncenga ukuqhunyiswa kwebhomu umngane ukuqaphela ukuthi umzamo wayo wokuba namandla omhlaba ahlangene ubhuntshile, futhi kufanele esikhundleni salokho uzibophezele ngempela ekuthuleni, ukubambisana kanye nentando yeningi yamazwe ngamazwe ngaphansi komyalelo osekelwe emithethweni we-UN Charter.
