Ukwehla Nokuwa kwe-United States

NguDavid Swanson

Abanye bathi umhlaba uzophela ngomlilo,
Abanye bathi eqhweni.
Kusukela kulokho engikuzwile isifiso
Ngibambe nalabo abathanda umlilo.
Kodwa uma kufanele kubhubhe kabili,
Ngicabanga ukuthi ngiyazi ngokwanele ngenzondo
Ukusho lokho ngenjongo yokubhubhisa iqhwa
Kuhle futhi
Futhi ngabe kwanele.
- URobert Frost

Ngemva kwenkulumo engiyethule kule mpelasonto edlule, owesifazane osemusha wangibuza ukuthi ukwehluleka kwe-United States ukuzungeza nokusabisa iChina kungase kubangele ukungazinzi yini. Ngachaza ukuthi kungani ngangicabanga ukuthi okuphambene kwakuyiqiniso. Cabanga nje ukube iShayina ibinezisekelo zamasosha eduze kwemingcele yaseCanada neMexico ne-United States kanye nemikhumbi eBermuda naseBahamas, eNova Scotia naseVancouver. Ungazizwa uzinzile? Noma ungase uzwe okunye?

Umbuso wase-US ungaqhubeka nokuzibona unamandla okwenza okuhle, wenza izinto ezingeke zamukeleke kunoma ubani omunye kodwa ezingasoze zabuzwa uma zenziwa iphoyisa lomhlaba wonke - okungukuthi, ungaqhubeka ungaziboni nhlobo, ukwandisa, ukufinyelela ngokweqile, nokuwa ngaphakathi. Noma ingabona ukuthi imayelana nani, iguqule izinto eziza kuqala, ihlehlise impi, ihlehlise ukuqoqwa kwengcebo namandla, itshale amandla aluhlaza kanye nezidingo zabantu, futhi ihlehlise umbuso ngokushesha kodwa ngokuzuzisa kakhulu. Ukugoqa akunakugwenywa. Ukugoqa noma ukuqondisa kabusha akunakugwenywa, futhi kuze kube manje uhulumeni wase-US ukhetha indlela eya kowokuqala.

Ake sibheke izinkomba ezimbalwa.

IDEMOKRASI EYEHLULEKA

I-United States iqhumisa amazwe ngamabhomu egameni lentando yeningi, nokho inokusebenza okuncane kakhulu kwentando yeningi futhi okuncane kakhulu kwezifunda ezizibiza ngentando yeningi. I-US inomvoti ophansi kakhulu vela phakathi kwabacebile, nabaphansi ngisho nangaphezu kwamazwe amaningi ampofu. Kulindeleke ukuba kube nokhetho ngonyaka ozayo lapho kuzoqhudelana khona izinkunzi ezimbili zezicukuthwane. I-United States ayizisebenzisi izinhlelo zomphakathi zikazwelonke noma inhlolovo ngendlela amanye amazwe enza ngayo, ngakho inani labo labavoti eliphansi (nabangaphezu kuka-60% wabavoti abafanelekile abakhetha ukungavoti ngo-2014) kubaluleke kakhulu. Idemokhrasi yase-US nayo ayinayo intando yeningi kakhulu kunamanye amademokhrasi acebile ngokuya ngokusebenza kwayo kwangaphakathi, nomuntu oyedwa okwazi ukuqala izimpi.

Ukubamba iqhaza okuphansi komphakathi akuwona umphumela wokwaneliseka njengokuqaphela inkohlakalo, kuhlanganiswe nezithiyo eziphikisana nentando yeningi ekubambeni iqhaza. Sekuyiminyaka manje u-75% kuya ku-85% womphakathi waseMelika uthi uhulumeni wawo wephukile. Futhi ngokusobala ingxenye enkulu yalokho kuqonda ihlobene nohlelo lokufumbathisa okusemthethweni oluxhasa ukhetho. Ukuvunywa kweCongress bekungaphansi kwama-20% futhi kwesinye isikhathi ngaphansi kwe-10% iminyaka manje. Ukuzethemba kuKhongolose kuku-7% futhi kwehla ngokushesha.

Muva nje indoda, ilindele ukulahlekelwa umsebenzi okungenani, wafika ibhayisikili-helicopter encane e-US Capitol ukuzama ukuletha izicelo zokuhlanza imali okhethweni. Ubalule njengesisusa sakhe “ukuwa kwaleli lizwe.” Enye indoda Fikile e-US Capitol enophawu oluthi “Tax the 1%” wabe esezidubula ekhanda. Ama-polls aphakamisa ukuthi labo akubona kuphela abantu ababili ababona inkinga - futhi, kufanele kuqashelwe, isisombululo.

Kunjalo, “intando yeningi” yase-US isebenza ekusithekeni okukhulu nakakhulu ngamandla amakhulu okugada. Iphrojekthi Yezobulungiswa Yomhlaba ezinhlwini i-United States ngaphansi kwezinye izizwe eziningi kulezi zigaba: Imithetho eshicilelwe kanye nedatha kahulumeni; Ilungelo lokuthola ulwazi; Ukubamba iqhaza komphakathi; kanye nezinqubo zezikhalazo.

Uhulumeni waseMelika njengamanje usebenzela ukugunyaza, ngasese, iTrans-Pacific Partnership, enika izinkampani amandla okuchitha imithetho eshaywe nguhulumeni waseMelika.

INGCEBO YOKUGXILA

Isimiso sezombangazwe esibuswa ingcebo singaba sentando yeningi uma ingcebo yabiwa ngokulinganayo. Ngokudabukisayo, i-United States ine- umehluko omkhulu ingcebo cishe kunazo zonke ezinye izizwe emhlabeni. Osozigidigidi abangamakhulu amane base-US banemali engaphezu kwesigamu sabantu base-United States behlangene, futhi labo abangama-400 bagujwa ngakho kunokuba bahlazeke. Ne-United States umkhondo izizwe eziningi ekulinganeni kwemali engenayo, le nkinga iya ngokuba yimbi kakhulu. I 10th izwe elicebe kakhulu emhlabeni ngomuntu ngamunye alibukeki licebile uma ushayela kulo. Futhi kufanele ushayele, ngamamayela angu-0 wesitimela esinesivinini esikhulu esakhiwe. Futhi kufanele uqaphele lapho ushayela. I-American Society of Civil Engineers inikeza ingqalasizinda yase-US i-D+. Izindawo zamadolobha afana neDetroit seziphenduke igwadule. Izindawo zokuhlala azinawo amanzi noma zigcwele ubuthi ngenxa yokungcoliswa kwemvelo - ezikhathini eziningi ngenxa yemisebenzi yezempi.

Umnyombo we-pitch yokuthengisa yase-US kuyona ukuthi, kuwo wonke amaphutha ayo inikeza inkululeko nethuba. Eqinisweni, ilandela amazwe amaningi aseYurophu ekuhambeni kwezomnotho, ukuzihlola impilo, kanye namazinga 35th enkululekweni yokukhetha ukuthi wenzeni ngempilo yakho, ngokusho kukaGallup, 2014.

INGQALASILI EYENZA ISIGCAWU

I-United States iqukethe amaphesenti angu-4.5 enani labantu bomhlaba futhi isebenzisa amaphesenti angu-42 ezindleko zokunakekelwa kwezempilo emhlabeni, kodwa nokho abantu baseMelika abanempilo encane kunezakhamuzi cishe zazo zonke ezinye izizwe ezicebile kanye nabampofu abambalwa. Izikhundla zase-US 36th esikhathini sokuphila kanye 47th ekuvimbeleni ukufa kwezingane.

I-US isebenzisa okuningi kwezobulungiswa bobugebengu futhi inobugebengu obuningi, futhi Okuningi isibhamu ukufa kunamazwe amaningi, acebile noma ampofu. Lokho kuhlanganisa ukudubula kwamaphoyisa ase-US abulala cishe i-1,000 ngonyaka, uma kuqhathaniswa nedijithi eyodwa emazweni ahlukene aseNtshonalanga.

I-US ingena 57th emsebenzini, ime ngokumelene nokuthambekela kwezwe ngokunganikezi isiqinisekiso sekhefu labazali elikhokhelwayo noma iholide, kanye nemizila in imfundo by various izinyathelo. I-United States, nokho, ihamba phambili ekufakeni abafundi ezikweletini ngemfundo yabo efinyelela ku-$1.3 trillion, okuyingxenye yenkinga ebanzi isikweletu somuntu siqu.

I-United States injalo #1 esikweletini kwamanye amazwe, kuhlanganise kwezikahulumeni isikweletu, nakuba #3 I-per capita. Njengoba abanye benzile wabonisa, i-US iyehla ngokwemibandela yokuthunyelwa kwempahla kwamanye amazwe, futhi amandla edola kanye nokusetshenziswa kwalo njengohlobo lwemali lwembulunga yonke kuyangabazeka.

YENZA UMBONO ODUMILE KWAMANYE AMAZWE

Ekuqaleni kuka-2014 kwakukhona izindaba ezingavamile ezimayelana namaGallup ukuvota kwe-2013 ekupheleni ngoba ngemva kokuvota emazweni angu-65 ngombuzo othi “Iliphi izwe ocabanga ukuthi liwusongo olukhulu kakhulu lokuthula emhlabeni namuhla?” umnqobi omkhulu kube yi-United States of America. Eqinisweni, i-United States ayiphani kangako ngosizo kodwa ihlukumeza kakhulu ngamabhomu nemicibisholo kunamanye amazwe nemizila ngokuvamile liphatha kanjani umhlaba wonke.

I-United States ihamba phambili ukucekelwa phansi kwemvelo, kulandele iChina kuphela ukukhishwa kwe-carbon dioxide kodwa cishe kathathu ukukhishwa kwegesi yaseChina uma kulinganiswa ngomuntu ngamunye.

Umbusi wesibili osekelwa yi-US eYemen eminyakeni embalwa edlule manje usebalekele eSaudi Arabia futhi wacela ukuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu kwezwe lakhe ngezikhali zase-US, izwe elinesiphithiphithi engxenyeni enkulu ngoba impi ye-drone yase-US inikeze ukwesekwa okuthandwayo kwabaphikisayo abanobudlova. e-US nasezincekwini zayo.

I-ISIS ikhiqize ifilimu yemizuzu engama-60 eziveza njengesitha esiphambili sase-US futhi empeleni yacela i-US ukuthi iyihlasele. I-US yenza futhi ukuqashwa kwayo kwanda.

I-United States ithandwa ohulumeni abanonya e-Egypt nasezindaweni ezizungezile, kodwa hhayi ngokusekelwa abantu abaningi.

IMILITARISI NGENXA YAYO

I-United States injalo kude nakude ohamba phambili ngokudayisa kanye nomnikezeli wezikhali emhlabeni; osebenzisa imali ehamba phambili kwezempi yakhe, izindleko sezikhuphuke zafinyelela cishe ku-$1.3 trillion ngonyaka, cishe okulingana nawo wonke umhlaba uma uhlanganiswa; umhlali ohamba phambili emhlabeni onamasosha cishe kuwo wonke amanye amazwe; kanye nomhlanganyeli ophambili kanye nomshoshozeli wezimpi.

I-United States nayo, kude nakude, ingumholi ekuboshweni, enabantu abaningi kanye nephesenti eliphezulu labantu abavalelwe kunanoma yisiphi esinye isikhathi noma indawo, futhi nabantu abaningi kakhulu abakhishwe nge-parole kanye nokuhlolwa futhi ngaphansi kokulawulwa yijele. uhlelo. Abantu abaningi base-Afrika-baseMelika bavalelwe kunezigqila ngaphambi kweMpi Yombango yase-US. I-US cishe iyindawo yokuqala futhi okuwukuphela kwayo emhlabeni lapho iningi lezisulu zokuhlukunyezwa ngokocansi kungabesilisa.

Inkululeko yomphakathi ibhidlika ngokushesha. Ukugadwa kukhula kakhulu. Futhi konke egameni lempi engapheli. Kodwa izimpi ziwukuhlulwa okungapheli, kudala izitha kunanoma iyiphi inzuzo. Izimpi zinika amandla futhi zidale izitha, zicebise amazwe abambe iqhaza ekutshalweni kwezimali okungenabudlova, futhi zinike amandla abazuzi bempi ukuthi baqhubekisele phambili izimpi eziningi. Inkulumo-ze yezimpi yehluleka ukukhulisa ukubhaliswa kwamasosha ekhaya, ngakho-ke uhulumeni wase-US uphendukela kuma-mercenaries (okudala ingcindezi eyengeziwe yezimpi eziningi) kanye nama-drones. Kepha ama-drones akhuphula ukudalwa kwenzondo nezitha ngokugqamayo, okwenza i-blowback ezosheshe ihlanganise ne-blowback ngokusebenzisa ama-drones - abazuzi bempi baseMelika abakhangisa umhlaba wonke.

UKUMZANISA KUKHULA

Ukumelana nombuso akuveli kuphela ngesimo sokuthatha isikhundla sombuso. Kungathatha uhlobo lokumelana nobudlova nokungenalo udlame ukulwa nempi, ukumelana nomnotho ekuxhashazweni, kanye nesivumelwano esiyiqoqo sokuthuthukisa umhlaba. Lapho Iran ukhuthaza I-India, i-China, ne-Russia ukuphikisana nokwanda kwe-NATO, akusho ngempela ukuphupha ngombuso womhlaba noma impi ebandayo, kodwa ngokuqinisekile ukumelana ne-NATO. Lapho amabhange basikisela yuan izothatha indawo yedola, lokho akusho ukuthi iChina izophinda iPentagon.

Indlela yamanje yase-US isongela ukuwohloka hhayi i-United States kuphela kodwa umhlaba ngendlela eyodwa noma zombili ezimbili: i-apocalypse yenuzi noma yemvelo. Amamodeli wamandla aluhlaza kanye ne-antimilitarism ahlanganisa ukumelana nale ndlela. Imodeli yaseCosta Rica engenamasosha, 100% amandla avuselelekayo, futhi ikleliswe phezulu ngenjabulo iwuhlobo lokumelana nakho. Ekupheleni kuka-2014, uGallup akazange alinge futhi abuze ukuthi yisiphi isizwe esasiwusongo olukhulu lokuthula kodwa wabuza ukuthi abantu bayoke balwe yini empini. Ezizweni eziningi iningi elikhulu lathi Cha, neze.

I-United States ikhula yodwa ekusekeleni isikhungo sempi. Ngonyaka odlule amazwe angama-31 aseLatin America naseCaribbean limenyezelwe ukuthi abasoze bayisebenzisa impi. Ukwesekwa kwe-US ezimpini zakwa-Israel kuyishiye yodwa futhi iphikisana nomkhankaso okhulayo wokuduba, ukuhlukaniswa, kanye nezijeziso. I-United States iqondwa ngokwandayo njengekhohlakele, njengoba iseyiyodwa noma icishe ibe yodwa esivumelwaneni samalungelo engane, isivumelwano sezimayini ezigqitshwayo, isivumelwano samalungelo ezomnotho, ezenhlalo, namasiko, iNkantolo Yobugebengu Yamazwe Ngamazwe, njll. .

Amazwe aseLatin America amelana ne-United States. Abanye bazikhiphile izisekelo zabo futhi bayeke ukuthumela abafundi eSikoleni SaseMelika. Abantu babhikisha ezisekelweni zase-US e-Italy, eSouth Korea, e-England, nasezindlini zamaNxusa aseMelika ePhilippines, Czech Republic, Ukraine. Izinkantolo zaseJalimane zilalela amacala okuthi ibamba iqhaza ngokungemthetho ezimpini zama-drone aseMelika. Izinkantolo zasePakistan ziphothule izikhulu eziphezulu zeCIA amacala.

UKWEHLULEKA EZINTAPENI

Umqondo wokuhluka kweMelika awusona isimangalo esingathí sina njengoba isimo sengqondo phakathi komphakathi wase-US. Ngenkathi i-US ilandelela ezinye izizwe ngezinyathelo ezahlukahlukene zempilo, injabulo, imfundo, amandla asimeme, ukuphepha kwezomnotho, isikhathi sokuphila, inkululeko yomphakathi, ukumelwa kwentando yeningi nokuthula, kanti ngenkathi isetha amarekhodi amasha ezempi, ukuboshwa, ukubhekwa, kanye nezimfihlo, abantu abaningi baseMelika bacabanga ukuthi kuyinto engavamile kakhulu ukuze bathethelele zonke izinhlobo zezenzo ezingamukeleki kwabanye. Ngokwandayo lokhu kudinga ukuzikhohlisa ngamabomu. Kuya ngokwandayo ukuzikhohlisa kuyehluleka.

Lapho uDkt. Martin Luther King Jr. ethi isizwe esiqhubeka unyaka nonyaka sichitha imali eningi kwezempi kunezinhlelo zokufukula umphakathi sisondela ekufeni ngokomoya wayengasixwayisanga. Wayexwayisa abazali bethu kanye nogogo nomkhulu. Singabafileyo.

Ingabe singavuselelwa?
