Inkinga embi kakhulu iwumgunyathi. Okusho ukuthi, amaqembu amaningi asebenzisa imbangela yokushushisa uVladimir Putin "ngamacala empi" njengesinye isizathu sokugwema ukuqeda impi - isidingo "sobulungiswa" bezisulu zempi njengezizathu zokudala izisulu zempi ezengeziwe. Lokhu kuvela The New Republic:
"U-Inna Sovsun, ilungu lephalamende lase-Ukraine le-pro-European Golos Party, ukholelwa ukuthi isidingo sobulungiswa siphakamisa izingxoxo zokuqeda impi. 'Ukuqonda kwami ukuthi uma sithola isivumelwano, ngeke sikwazi ukulandela inqubo esemthethweni yokubajezisa,' esho engxoxweni, ephawula ukuthi isivumelwano singase sinciphise lezi zicelo. 'Ngifuna ubulungisa ngezingane ezabulawa abazali bazo phambi kwabo … [ko] umfana oneminyaka eyisithupha owabona umama wakhe edlwengulwa izinsuku ezimbili ngamasosha aseRussia. Futhi uma sithola isivumelwano, lokho kuyosho ukuthi leyo ndodana ayisoze yabuthola ubulungisa kumama wayo, owabulawa amanxeba akhe.’”
Uma “ukuqonda” kuka-Inna Sovsun bekuyiqiniso ngempela, icala lokuqhubeka nempi ethathwa kabanzi njengengcuphe yokunyukela empini yenuzi bekungaba buthakathaka kakhulu. Kodwa ukuxoxisana ngokuyeka ukulwa nesivumelwano sokuthula kufanele kwenziwe yi-Ukraine neRussia. Uma kubhekwa unswinyo oluholwa yi-US kanye ne-US eRussia, kanye nomthelela we-US kuhulumeni wase-Ukraine, ukuxoxisana okunjalo kufanele kwenziwe yi-Ukraine, iRussia, ne-United States. Kodwa azikho kulezi zinhlangano okufanele zibe namandla okudala noma okuqeda ukushushiswa kobugebengu.
Umcabango “wokushushisa uPutin,” emibikweni eminingi yezindaba zaseNtshonalanga, uhambisana kakhulu nobulungiswa bomnqobi, lapho onqobile njengomshushisi, noma okungenani isisulu sibekwe ukuba silawule umshushisi, njengoba abaningi e-United States. bakholelwa ukuthi izinkantolo zasekhaya kufanele zisebenze. Kodwa ukuze i-International Criminal Court noma i-International Court of Justice isebenze njengezinkantolo ezibucayi, kuyodingeka izithathele izinqumo.
Impela, yonke into ingaphansi kwesithupha samalungu amahlanu ahlala unomphela oMkhandlu Wezokuphepha we-UN kanye namavoti awo, kodwa bekungeke kube khona iphuzu lokuxoxisana nge-veto yase-US lapho iRussia isivele ine-veto. Mhlawumbe umhlaba ungenziwa ukuthi usebenze njengoba iWashington ifuna, kodwa futhi kungenziwa ukuthi kusebenze ngenye indlela. Impi ingase iphele namuhla futhi kuxoxiswane ngesivumelwano ngaphandle kokuba kukhulunywe ngokushushiswa kobugebengu.
Inkulumo yase-US yokushushiswa "ngamacala empi" ivela kubantu abaningi abafanayo abafuna ukugwema ukuqeda impi, abafuna ukuketula uhulumeni waseRussia, bafuna ukuqhubeka nokwandisa i-NATO, bafuna ukuthengisa izikhali eziningi, futhi bafuna ukungena kuthelevishini. . Kunezizathu zokungabaza ukuthi ibucayi kangakanani imbangela yokugcinwa komthetho kubo lapho bekhuluma futhi kuthuthukisa ngayinye yalezo ezinye izizathu - noma ngabe kungenziwa ngokuzenzisa ngokumelene neRussia kuphela. Kukhona nezizathu zokungabaza ukuthi ngabe thina sonke singaphila kangcono uma kwenziwa ngokuzenzisa ngokumelene neRussia kuphela.
Ngokombiko othile ivoti elivumelana ngazwi linye eSenate yase-US, U-Putin kanye nabangaphansi kwakhe kufanele bashushiswe "ngamacala empi" kanye nobugebengu bempi (okwaziwa ngokuthi "ubugebengu bokuhlukumeza"). Ngokuvamile inkulumo ethi "ubugebengu bempi" isebenza njengesifihlo seqiniso lokuthi impi ngokwayo iyicala. Amaqembu alwela amalungelo abantu aseNtshonalanga ngokuvamile asebenza ngokuvinjelwa okuqinile kokuqaphela ukuthi i-UN Charter kanye eminye imithetho eminingi bavimbele impi ngokwayo, bazikhawulele ekukhetheni imiphetho emacaleni obugebengu bempi. Kungaba impumelelo ukuthi ekugcineni ube nokushushiswa “ngecala lobudlova” uma kungenjalo ngenxa yenkinga yokuzenzisa. Ngisho noma ungamemezela igunya elifanele futhi ukwenze kwenzeke, futhi noma ungadlula ukukhuphuka kwamaqembu amaningi okwakhelwa ukuhlasela, futhi noma ungamemezela zonke izimpi ezethulwe ngaphambi kwe-2018 ngaphandle kokutholwa kwecala le-ICC Ubugebengu obubi kakhulu, bekungenzani ukuze ubulungiswa bomhlaba wonke kube ne-United States kanye nabalingani baqondwe kabanzi ukuthi bakhululekile ukuhlasela iLibya noma i-Iraq noma i-Afghanistan nanoma yikuphi kwenye indawo, kodwa amaRussia manje aseshushiswa kanye nama-Afrika?
Hhayi-ke, kuthiwani uma i-ICC ibingashushisa ukwethulwa kwezimpi ezintsha kusukela ngo-2018, kanye nobugebengu obuthile phakathi kwezimpi ezibuyela emuva emashumini eminyaka? Ngizoba ngalokho. Kodwa uhulumeni wase-US ngeke. Enye yezinto ezicasula kakhulu ezingxoxweni zamanje zaseRussia ukusetshenziswa kwamabhomu eqoqo. Uhulumeni wase-US uyabasebenzisa ezimpini zakhe futhi abanikeze ababambisene nabo, njengeSaudi Arabia, ezimpini abambisene nazo. Ungavele uhambe ngendlela yokuzenzisa, ngaphandle kokuthi ngisho nasempini yamanje yase-Ukraine isebenzisa amabhomu eqoqo ngokumelene nabahlaseli baseRussia futhi, kunjalo, abantu bayo. Ukubuyela emuva ku-WWII, kuwumkhuba ovamile wobulungiswa bomnqobi ukushushisa kuphela izinto abanqobi abangazange bazenze nazo.
Ngakho-ke, kuzodingeka uthole izinto ezenziwa yiRussia ne-Ukraine engazange izenze. Lokho kungenzeka, kunjalo. Ungakhetha labo futhi ubashushise, futhi ukumemezele kangcono kunalutho. Kepha ukuthi kungaba ngcono kunalutho kuwumbuzo ovulekile, nokuthi ngabe uhulumeni wase-US uzowumela ngempela yini. Laba ngabantu abajezise ezinye izizwe ngokweseka i-ICC, bafaka unswinyo ezikhulwini ze-ICC, futhi bavala uphenyo lwe-ICC ngamacala azo zonke izinhlangothi e-Afghanistan, futhi bamisa olulodwa ePalestine. I-ICC ibukeka izimisele ngokuhlala, ihlale, ilande futhi igingqike eRussia, kodwa izolalela yini yonke inkimbinkimbi, ihlonze izihloko ezamukelekayo kuphela, igweme zonke izinkinga ezikhona, futhi iphume ikwazi ukuncenga noma ubani ukuthi amahhovisi ayo awekho. ikomkhulu lePentagon?
Emasontweni ambalwa emuva e-Ukraine wayemelwe eNkantolo Yobulungisa Yamazwe Ngamazwe, hhayi yinoma yimuphi u-Ukrainian, kodwa ngommeli waseMelika, yena lowo owayeqashwe nguMongameli wangaleso sikhathi uBarack Obama ukutshela iCongress ukuthi ngeke ibe namandla okuvimbela ukuhlasela kwe-US eLibya. Futhi lo mmeli ofanayo manje unesibindi sika-Obamanesque sokubuza ukuthi ngabe zimbili yini izindinganiso zobulungisa emhlabeni - elilodwa ngelamazwe amancane nelinye lamazwe amakhulu njengeRussia (ngisho noma evuma ukuthi i-ICJ yake yakhipha isinqumo ngokumelene nohulumeni wase-US ngamacala ayo Nicaragua, kodwa ingasaphathwa eyokuthi uhulumeni wase-US akakaze ahambisane nesinqumo senkantolo). Uphakamisa nokuthi inkantolo igweme uMkhandlu Wezokuphepha we-UN ngokusebenzisa i-General Assembly - okuyisibonelo esingagwema nama-veto aseMelika.
I-ICJ iyalele ukuthi kuqedwe impi e-Ukraine. Yilokho okufanele sonke sikufune, ukuphela kwempi. Kodwa isikhungo esiphikiswa iminyaka ohulumeni bezwe abanamandla senza nje umthetho ubukeke ubuthakathaka. Isikhungo ebesilokhu simelana nabashisekeli bezikhali abaphezulu emhlabeni nabathengisi bezikhali, okungabalelwa ukuthi sishushise izehlakalo ezesabekayo ezenziwa yizinhlangothi zombili e-Ukraine - kanye nokubashushisa kakhulu njengoba zinqwabelana ngokuhamba kwesikhathi - empeleni kuzosiza ukuqeda. impi ngaphandle kokuyifuna.
