NgoMashi 19 kuphawula iminyaka engama-20 ye-US neBritish sokuhlasela wase-Iraq. Lo mcimbi owuchungechunge emlandweni omfushane wekhulu lama-21 awuqhubeki nje nokuhlupha umphakathi wase-Iraq kuze kube namuhla, kodwa futhi ubhekene nenkinga ekhona e-Ukraine, okwenza kungenzeki ukuze iningi leGlobal South libone impi e-Ukraine nge-prism efanayo ne-US kanye nezombusazwe zaseNtshonalanga.
Ngenkathi i-US yakwazi ingalo enamandla Amazwe angama-49, okuhlanganisa amaningi aseGlobal South, ukujoyina “umfelandawonye walabo abazimisele” ukusekela ukuhlasela kwesizwe sase-Iraq, yi-UK, Australia, Denmark kanye nePoland kuphela abanikele ngamasosha embuthweni wokuhlasela, kanye neminyaka engama-20 edlule. ukungenelela okuyinhlekelele kuye kwafundisa amazwe amaningi ukuba angashayi izinqola zawo embusweni wase-US ontengantengayo.
Namuhla, amazwe aseGlobal South abe namandla kakhulu wenqabile I-US inxusa ukuthi ithumele izikhali e-Ukraine futhi iyanqikaza ukuthobela unswinyo lwaseNtshonalanga eRussia. Kunalokho, bayaphuthuma ukushaya ukuze i-diplomacy iqede impi ngaphambi kokuba ikhule ibe yingxabano enkulu phakathi kweRussia ne-United States, ngengozi ekhona yempi yenuzi eqeda umhlaba.
Abaqambi bokuhlasela kwe-US e-Iraq babengabasunguli be-neoconservative beProjekthi yeNew American Century (I-PNAC), owayekholelwa ukuthi i-United States ingasebenzisa ukuphakama kwezempi okungaphikiswanga eyakuzuza ekupheleni kweMpi Yomshoshaphansi ukuze iqhubekisele phambili amandla omhlaba aseMelika ekhulwini lama-21.
Ukuhlasela kwe-Iraq kuzokhombisa “ukubusa okugcwele kwe-US” emhlabeni, ngokusekelwe kulokho uSenator ongasekho u-Edward Kennedy. ulahlwe "njengobizo lwe-imperialism yaseMelika yekhulu lama-21 okungekho elinye izwe elingakwazi noma okufanele liyamukele."
U-Kennedy wayeqinisile, futhi ama-neocons ayengalungile ngokuphelele. Udlame lwamasosha aseMelika luphumelele ukuketula uSaddam Hussein, kodwa lwehluleka ukubeka umyalelo omusha ozinzile, kwasala kuphela isiphithiphithi, ukufa nodlame. Kwakunjalo nangokungenelela kwe-US e-Afghanistan, eLibya nakwamanye amazwe.
Emhlabeni wonke, ukukhuphuka komnotho okunokuthula kweShayina kanye neGlobal South sekudale enye indlela yokuthuthukisa umnotho ethatha indawo yase-US. i-neocolonial imodeli. Ngenkathi i-United States isaphaze isikhathi sayo esingajwayelekile ekusetshenzisweni kwezempi kwama-trillion-dollar, izimpi ezingekho emthethweni kanye nezempi, amanye amazwe akha umhlaba onokuthula, ogcwele amazwe amaningi.
Kodwa-ke, okuxakayo, kunezwe elilodwa lapho isu le-neocons "lokushintsha umbuso" liphumelele, futhi lapho bebambelele ngamandla emandleni: i-United States ngokwayo. Ngisho noma umhlaba wonke wawuyeka ukwethuka ngenxa yemiphumela yodlame lwase-US, ama-neocons ahlanganisa ukulawula kwawo inqubomgomo yezangaphandle yase-US, athelela futhi afaka ushevu kuhulumeni weDemocratic and Republican ngokufanayo ngowoyela wabo wezinyoka ovelele.
Osopolitiki bezinkampani kanye nabezindaba bathanda ukuxosha ukuthathwa kwe-neocons kanye nokuqhubeka nokubusa kwenqubomgomo yezangaphandle yase-US, kodwa ama-neocons afihlwe ngokusobala ezindaweni eziphezulu zoMnyango Wezwe LaseMelika, uMkhandlu Wezokuphepha Kazwelonke, i-White House, iCongress kanye nabantu abanethonya. izikhungo zokucabanga ezixhaswe ngemali yebhizinisi.
Umsunguli we-PNAC uRobert Kagan uyisikhulu esiphezulu e-Brookings Institution futhi wayengukhiye athwale kaHillary Clinton. UMongameli Biden uqoke unkosikazi kaKagan, uVictoria Nuland, owayengumeluleki wenqubomgomo yezangaphandle kuDick Cheney, njengoNobhala Wezwe Wezindaba Zezepolitiki, isikhundla sesine esiphezulu eMnyangweni Wezwe. Lokho kwaba ngemva kokudlala i- kuholele Indima yase-US ngo-2014 Ukukhishwa e-Ukraine, okwabangela ukuhlakazeka kwayo kuzwelonke, ukubuya kweCrimea eRussia kanye nempi yombango eDonbas eyabulala okungenani abantu abayi-14,000.
Umphathi we-Nuland, uNobhala Wezwe u-Antony Blinken, wayengumqondisi wabasebenzi weKomidi Lezobudlelwano Nezangaphandle leSenate ngo-2002, ngesikhathi kunezinkulumo-mpikiswano mayelana nokuhlasela kwe-US e-Iraq. UBlinken usize usihlalo wekomiti, uSenator Joe Biden, i-choreograph ukulalelwa kwecala okwaqinisekisa ukwesekwa kwekomiti ngempi, ngaphandle kwanoma yibaphi ofakazi abangalusekelanga ngokugcwele uhlelo lwempi lwe-neocons.
Akukacaci ukuthi ngubani ngempela obiza inqubomgomo yezangaphandle ekuphathweni kukaBiden njengoba iphokophela iMpi Yezwe Yesithathu neRussia futhi idala ukungqubuzana neChina, igila izimanga ngomkhankaso kaBiden. isithembiso "ukuphakamisa idiplomacy njengethuluzi eliyinhloko lokuzibandakanya kwethu emhlabeni jikelele." U-Nuland ubonakala enakho ithonya kude kakhulu nesikhundla sakhe ekubunjweni kwenqubomgomo yempi yase-US (futhi ngaleyo ndlela yase-Ukraine).
Okucacayo ukuthi iningi lomhlaba libonile ngokusebenzisa Amanga kanye nokuzenzisa kwenqubomgomo yezangaphandle yase-US, nokuthi i-United States ekugcineni ivuna umphumela wezenzo zayo ekwaleni i-Global South ukuthi iqhubeke idanse kumculo wombhobho waseMelika.
Emhlanganweni-jikelele we-UN ngoSepthemba 2022, abaholi bamazwe angama-66, abamele iningi labantu emhlabeni, ucele for diplomacy nokuthula e-Ukraine. Futhi nokho abaholi baseNtshonalanga basakushaya indiva izicelo zabo, bethi ubuholi bokuziphatha kahle babalahlekela ngoMashi 19, 2003, lapho i-United States ne-United Kingdom beklebhula i-UN Charter futhi bahlasela i-Iraq.
Engxoxweni yephaneli "Yokuvikela Umthetho We-UN kanye Nomyalelo Wamazwe Ngamazwe Osekelwe Emithethweni" eNgqungqutheleni Yezokuphepha yase-Munich yakamuva, amaphaneli amathathu—avela eBrazil, Colombia naseNamibia—ngokucacile. wenqatshelwe Izimfuno zaseNtshonalanga zokuthi amazwe abo aphule ubudlelwano neRussia, esikhundleni salokho akhulume ngokuthula e-Ukraine.
UNgqongqoshe Wezangaphandle waseBrazil, uMauro Vieira, unxuse zonke izinhlangothi ezilwayo ukuthi “zakhele ithuba lesixazululo. Ngeke siqhubeke sikhuluma ngempi kuphela.” IPhini likaMongameli u-Francia Márquez wase-Colombia uchaze kabanzi, “Asifuni ukuqhubeka nokuxoxa ngokuthi ubani ozonqoba noma ohlulwe empini. Sonke silahlekelwe yikho, ekugcineni, yisintu esilahlekelwa yikho konke.”
UNdunankulu u-Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila wase-Namibia ufingqe imibono yabaholi be-Global South kanye nabantu babo: “Sigxile ekuxazululeni inkinga…hhayi ekususeni icala,” kusho yena. “Sigqugquzela ukuxazululwa ngokuthula kwaleyo ngxabano, ukuze umhlaba wonke nazo zonke izinsiza zomhlaba zigxile ekuthuthukiseni izimo zabantu emhlabeni wonke esikhundleni sokuchithwa ekuthengeni izikhali, ukubulala abantu, futhi empeleni kudala impi. .”
Ngakho-ke ama-neocons aseMelika kanye nabaphathi bawo base-Europe basabela kanjani kulaba baholi abahluzekile nabathandwa kakhulu abavela eGlobal South? Enkulumweni ethusayo, efana nempi, isikhulu senqubomgomo yezangaphandle ye-European Union uJosep Borrell utshele engqungqutheleni yaseMunich ukuthi indlela yokuthi amazwe aseNtshonalanga “akhe kabusha ukwethembana nokubambisana nabaningi endaweni ebizwa ngokuthi i-Global South” iwukuba “idicilele phansi… lokhu kulandisa okungamanga… kwamazinga akabili.”
Kodwa izinga eliphindwe kabili phakathi kwezimpendulo zamazwe aseNtshonalanga ekuhlaseleni kweRussia i-Ukraine namashumi eminyaka odlame lwaseNtshonalanga akuyona indaba engamanga. Ezihlokweni ezedlule, sinakho ibhalwe phansi indlela i-United States namadlelandawonye ayo alahla ngayo amabhomu nemicibisholo ecitshwayo engaphezu kuka-337,000 2001 kwamanye amazwe phakathi kuka-2020 no-46. Leso isilinganiso sama-20 ngosuku, usuku nosuku, iminyaka engu-XNUMX.
Irekhodi lase-US lifana kalula, noma ngokungangabazeki lidlula kude, ukungabi semthethweni nonya lwamacala ase-Russia e-Ukraine. Nokho i-US ayilokothi ibhekane nezijeziso zezomnotho ezivela emphakathini womhlaba. Ayikaze iphoqwe ukuthi ikhokhele izisulu zayo izinxephezelo zempi. Ihlinzeka ngezikhali kubahlaseli esikhundleni sokuba izisulu zonya ePalestine, Yemen nakwezinye izindawo. Futhi abaholi baseMelika—okuhlanganisa uBill Clinton, uGeorge W. Bush, uDick Cheney, uBarack Obama, uDonald Trump, noJoe Biden—abakaze bashushiswe ngamacala obudlova omhlaba wonke, amacala empi noma ubugebengu obubhekiswe esintwini.
Njengoba sigubha iminyaka engama-20 yokuhlasela kwe-Iraq okwadala umonakalo omkhulu, asihlanganyele nabaholi beGlobal South kanye neningi lomakhelwane bethu emhlabeni jikelele, hhayi nje ekubizeni izingxoxo zokuthula ngokushesha ukuze kuqedwe impi enonya yase-Ukraine, kodwa futhi ekwakheni impi yangempela. ukuhleleka kwamazwe ngamazwe okusekelwe emithethweni, lapho imithetho efanayo—kanye nemiphumela efanayo nezijeziso zokwephula leyo mithetho—isebenza kuzo zonke izizwe, kuhlanganise nezethu.
