Ubukhosi namanje (noma busanda, njengoba bekungeyona njalo) isihloko esithintekayo eMbusweni wase-US. Iningi labantu e-United States lingaphika ukuthi i-United States yake yaba nombuso, ngoba nje awukaze uzwe ngakho, ngakho-ke akumele ubekhona. Futhi labo abavame ukukhuluma ngombuso wase-US iningi labo bavame ukuba ngabasekeli bezimpi ezinodlame ezilwa nombuso (njengombono osuphelelwe yisikhathi njengombuso) noma abaphenyi beGood News yokuwa kombuso okuseduze.
Ukukhathazeka kwami ngezibikezelo zokuwa kombuso wase-US okuseduze kufaka phakathi (1) njengokuqagela okujabulisayo "kukaphethiloli omkhulu" - umzuzu okhazimulayo ongakaze ubikezelwe ukuthi uzofika ngaphambi kokushiswa kukawoyela owanele ukuqeda impilo eMhlabeni - ukuphela okuphela kombuso wase-US akuqinisekisiwe ukuthi kuzofika maduze ngokwanele nge-crystal ball yanoma ngubani ukuvimbela ukubhujiswa kwemvelo noma kwenuzi nakho konke okuhle; (2) njengokuthathwa okuqhubekayo kweCongress noma ukuketulwa ngobudlova kuka-Assad noma ukubuyiselwa kukaTrump, ukubikezela ngokuvamile kubonakala kungaphezu kwezifiso; futhi (3) ukubikezela ukuthi izinto zizokwenzeka nakanjani akuvusi imizamo emikhulu yokuzenza zenzeke.
Isizathu esidinga ukuthi sisebenzele ukuqeda umbuso akukhona nje ukusheshisa izinto, kepha futhi nokuthola ukuthi umbuso uphela kanjani, futhi ukuze uqede, hhayi umbuso nje kuphela, kepha isikhungo sonke sombuso. Umbuso wase-US wezisekelo zamasosha, ukuthengiswa kwezikhali, ukulawulwa kwamasosha angaphandle, ukubhukuda, izimpi, izinsongo zezimpi, ukubulawa kwabantu nge-drone, unswinyo kwezomnotho, inkulumo-ze, ukubolekwa kwezilwane, kanye nokucekelwa phansi / ukuhlanganiswa komthetho wamazwe omhlaba kuhluke kakhulu emibusweni eyedlule. Umbuso waseChina, noma omunye, nawo wawuzoba musha futhi ungakaze ubonwe. Kepha uma ngabe bekusho ukumiswa okuphikisana nentando yeningi kwezinqubomgomo eziyingozi nezingafuneki eningini lomhlaba, khona-ke bekungaba ngumbuso futhi kungavala ikusasa lethu ngokuqinisekile njengamanje.
Okungahle kube wusizo kungaba i-akhawunti yomlando ocacile wemibuso ekhulayo newayo, ebhalwe ngumuntu okwaziyo konke lokhu futhi enikelwe kukho konke ukusika inkulumo-ze yasendulo nokugwema izincazelo ezilula. Futhi esinakho manje ku-Alfred W. McCoy's Ukubusa iGlobe: Ama-World Orders kanye ne-Catastrophic Change, ukuvakasha kwamakhasi angama-300 ngemibuso yasendulo neyamanje, kuhlanganise nemibuso yasePortugal naseSpain. UMcCoy uhlinzeka nge-akhawunti eningiliziwe yeminikelo yale mibuso ekuqothulweni kohlanga, ebugqilini, nasezingxoxweni - zamalungelo abantu. UMcCoy ucubungula imibono yabantu, ezomnotho, ezempi, ezamasiko, nezomnotho, ngokubheka okuthokozisayo kwalokho namuhla esingakubiza ngobudlelwano bomphakathi. Uyaphawula, isibonelo, ukuthi ngo-1621 amaDashi azigxeka izenzo zonya zaseSpain lapho enza icala lokuthatha amakoloni aseSpain.
UMcCoy ufaka ne-akhawunti yalokho akubiza ngokuthi “yi-Empires of Commerce and Capital,” okuyiDashi, iBritish, neFrance, eholwa yiDutch East India Company kanye nezinye izinkampani ezibamba inkunzi, kanye ne-akhawunti yokuthi imiqondo ehlukahlukene yomthetho wamazwe omhlaba kanye imithetho yempi nokuthula yakhiwa kulo mongo. Esinye isici esithandekayo sale akhawunti ukuthi ukuhweba kwaseBrithani kubantu abagqilaziwe abavela e-Afrika kwakuhilela ukuhweba ngamakhulu ezinkulungwane zezibhamu kubantu base-Afrika, okuholele odlameni olwesabekayo e-Afrika, njengoba nje nokungeniswa kwezikhali ezindaweni ezifanayo kwenza kuze kube namuhla.
Umbuso waseBrithani ubalulwe ngokugqamile kule ncwadi, kufaka phakathi amazwibela eqhawe lethu elithandekayo lezokusiza uWinston Churchill ememezela ukubulawa kwabantu abayi-10,800 49 lapho amasosha aseBrithani angama-20 kuphela abulawa khona ukuze abe “ukunqoba okuyisiginali okukhulu kunakho konke okwake kwatholwa izingalo zesayensi abezizwe. ” Kepha okuningi kwencwadi kugxile ekwakhiweni nasekugcinweni kombuso wase-US. UMcCoy uphawula ukuthi “Phakathi neminyaka engama-100 eyalandela [iWWII], imibuso eyishumi eyayibusa ingxenye eyodwa kwezintathu zesintu yayizonikela ngezizwe eziyi-1958 ezazisanda kuzimela,” futhi amakhasi amaningi kamuva athi, “Phakathi kuka-1975 no-XNUMX, amasosha ahlubuka kubo ohulumeni baseMelika abaxhasiwe, abashintshiwe emazweni amathathu - ingxenye yesine yamazwe azimele - okhuthaza 'ukuhlanekezela' okuhlukile ekuthambekeleni kwentando yeningi. ” (Uzwele isiphetho somuntu wokuqala ukusho lokho engqungqutheleni kaMongameli uJoe Biden yeNkululeko.)
UMcCoy ubuye abukisise ukukhula kwezomnotho nezepolitiki eChina, kufaka phakathi ibhande nemigwaqo, ethi - ngo- $ 1.3 trillion - ubiza ngokuthi “yitshalomali enkulu kunazo zonke emlandweni wesintu,” mhlawumbe engazange abone u- $ 21 trillion efakwa embuthweni wamasosha aseMelika nje iminyaka engama-20 edlule. Ngokungafani nenani elikhulu labantu ku-Twitter, uMcCoy akabikezeli ngombuso waseChina womhlaba wonke ngaphambi kukaKhisimusi. “Impela,” kubhala uMcCoy, “ngaphandle kokuqina kwamandla ezomnotho nakwezempi, iChina inesiko lokuzimela, iphinde ibhale kabusha umbhalo ongewona owesiRomania (odinga izinhlamvu eziyizinkulungwane ezine esikhundleni sezinhlamvu ezingama-26), izinhlangano zezombusazwe ezingekho ngaphansi kwentando yeningi, kanye nohlelo olungaphansi lwezomthetho lokho kuzokuphika ezinye zezinsimbi eziyinhloko zobuholi bomhlaba wonke. ”
UMcCoy kubonakala sengathi akacabangi ukuthi ohulumeni abazibiza ngentando yeningi empeleni bangabantu abasebenza ngentando yeningi, kakhulu ngokubheka ukubaluleka kwe-PR yentando yeningi kanye namasiko ekusakazeni kombuso, isidingo sokusebenzisa "inkulumo evumelana nezomhlaba wonke nebandakanya wonke umuntu." Kusukela ngo-1850 kuya ku-1940, ngokusho kukaMcCoy, iBrithani yagqugquzela isiko "lokudlala ngokulingana," "izimakethe ezikhululekile," nokuphikisana nobugqila, futhi i-United States isebenzise amafilimu aseHollywood, amakilabhu e-Rotary, imidlalo ethandwayo, nakho konke ukuxoxa kwayo mayelana " amalungelo abantu ”ngenkathi kusungulwa izimpi futhi kuhlonyiswa omashiqela abanonya.
Esihlokweni sokuwa kombuso, uMcCoy ucabanga ukuthi izinhlekelele zemvelo zizokwehlisa amandla e-US ezimpini zangaphandle. (Ngingaqaphela ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwemali yamasosha aseMelika kuyanda, amasosha ayanda shiyeka phandle yezivumelwano zesimo sezulu ngokubhida kwe-US, futhi amasosha aseMelika ukukhuthaza umbono wezimpi njengezimpendulo ezinhlekeleleni zemvelo.) UMcCoy ucabanga nokuthi izindleko ezikhulayo zenhlalo yomphakathi osugugile zizosusa iMelika ekusetshenzisweni kwezempi. (Ngingabona ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwemali yamasosha aseMelika kuyanda, inkohlakalo kahulumeni wase-US iyakhula; ukungalingani komnotho wase-US kanye nobuphofu kuyanda; nokuthi inkulumo-ze yombuso wase-US iwususe ngempumelelo umqondo wokunakekelwa kwezempilo njengelungelo lomuntu ebuchosheni obuningi base-US.)
Ikusasa elilodwa okungenzeka ukuthi uMcCoy asikisela ukuthi umhlaba uneBrazil, i-US, iChina, iRussia, i-India, i-Iran, iNingizimu Afrika, iTurkey neGibhithe ebusa izingxenye zomhlaba. Angicabangi ukuthi amandla nokwanda komkhakha wezikhali, noma umbono wobukhosi, kuvumela lokho kungenzeka. Ngicabanga ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi kufanele sithuthele ekubuseni komthetho nasekupheliseni izikhali noma sibone impi yomhlaba wonke. Lapho uMcCoy ephendukela esihlokweni sokuwa kwesimo sezulu, uphakamisa ukuthi izikhungo zomhlaba wonke zizodingeka - njengoba kade bezikade zinjalo. Umbuzo uthi singakwazi yini ukusungula nokuqinisa izikhungo ezinjalo ebusweni boMbuso waseMelika, noma ngabe sekube nemibuso emingaki noma ngabe iyiphi inkampani embi abayibeka njengamanje.
