Amazwana ngo Charlottesville, Va Ividiyo lapha.

Impi nokuthula kungaba indaba elula kakhulu. Senza kube nzima kakhulu. Abantu basho futhi benze izinto mina kanyekanye engifuna ukuzijabulisa futhi ngizisole.

Kuleli sonto uSenator Rand Paul uthe ufuna ukuyeka ukusekela i-Ukraine ukuze asekele i-United States. Inkulumo ethi "seka i-Ukraine" ishoshozela ukubhebhezela impi ecekela phansi i-Ukraine, ilimaza umhlaba, futhi isongela i-apocalypse yenuzi. "Ukusekela i-Ukraine" kusho ukugcina izikhali zigeleza, kuhlanganiswe nokugcizelela ukuthi izikhali zizoqhubeka ziza inqobo nje uma i-Ukraine ivuma ukungenzi ukuthula.

Enye imali iya kwezinye izinto ngaphandle kwezikhali, futhi - kunalokho ngokuxakayo - abantu bakuthola kucasula kakhulu lokhu. Kuyinto eyodwa ukuxhasa ukubulawa kwabantu abaningi okungenangqondo, kanye nokunye ukuxhasa izidingo zabantu - kuyaxaka lokho!

Kodwa ohlelweni lwe-tv 60 Minutes, kuphambene nokucasulayo. Usizo oluya e-Ukraine, njengoba lolu hlelo lubonisa, luxhasa osomabhizinisi abangonxiwankulu abahle ngemali yokuqala futhi, yebo, enye iya emathangini, kodwa amathangi ayizinto zokuzivikela, njengezikhali, ezisindisa izimpilo ngoba amasosha angaphakathi kuwo. ayikwazi ukudutshulwa noma ukuqhunyiswa ngezimayini. Indida yokuthi i-Bradley Fighting Vehicles ikhona ukuze ibulale futhi ibhubhise ilahlekile ngokuphelele futhi ngamabomu. Akukho ukuziqhayisa ngokubalwa komzimba lapha, ngiphindaphinda ukubonga kubantu baseMelika abanesibindi

Ukuvota kuyafana. Iphesenti elikhula ngokushesha lomphakathi wase-US - iningi kwezinye izinhlolovo, kanye nobuningi kuzo zonke izinhlolovo - lifuna ukuyeka ukusekela noma ukusiza i-Ukraine. Kodwa kusho ukuthini lokho? Kuthiwani uma ngifuna ukusiza Ukraine? Kuthiwani uma ngibheka ama-Ukrainian, futhi ngaleyo ndaba amaSomaliya namaYemenis namaSyria namaVenezuela, njengababaluleke ncamashi njengezakhamuzi zase-US? Kuthiwani uma ngifuna uhulumeni wase-US ayeke ukuphikisa izingxoxo zokuthula futhi alahle ukuzibophezela kwakhe ekuthumeleni izikhali eziningi, kodwa athumele umhlaba wonke, kuhlanganise ne-United States ngokwayo, kakhulu kakhulu ekusizeni kwangempela kwabantu? Kuthiwani uma ukusiza abantu baseHawaii kungabalulekile kunokubulala abantu base-Ukrainian ngenxa yamapasi abantu baseHawaii abanawo kodwa ngoba ukubulala abantu base-Ukrainian akubasekeli noma akubasizi noma akubasizi nhlobo abantu base-Ukraine?

Siphila enkathini eyinqaba kakhulu lapho ukuchitha imali ekufeni nasekubhujisweni kuqondwa njengokuphana, lapho uhulumeni wase-US ebheja abanye ohulumeni ukuthi bachithe imali ngezikhali njengephesenti lomnotho wabo, njengokungathi izikhali ziwusizo emphakathini, isevisi. okumele izakhamizi zomhlaba wonke zihlinzeke. Uma usufake ngaphakathi umqondo wokuthi impi ilungele wena, nakuba iholela ezimpini, futhi nakuba amaphesenti amancane aleyo mali angaqeda ubumpofu noma enze isivumelwano esisha esiluhlaza ngaphezu kwemicabango eyingozi kakhulu yabathengisi abasha abaluhlaza, futhi uma usuqedile. 'ubophezele ingqondo yakho ekukholweni ukuthi ukunqoba kuseduze phakade, nokuthi isitha siwusongo olukhulu futhi oluyimilingo kumandla angaqondakali enkululeko (njengoba i-Ukraine ivala ukhetho, amaqembu aphikisayo, nenkulumo yamahhala, futhi i-US Democratic Party iqeda ngempumelelo. primaries), kuzoqinisekisa kuphela ukuzibophezela kwakho empini lapho ubona ukuthi Amalungu eCongress kuphela aphikisana nayo bangabazenzisi abanobugovu abacindezela i-voodoo economics.

U-Rand Paul ufuna ukuqongelela zonke izinsiza zala maphesenti angu-4 esintu, phezu kwawo eqamba amanga ngoba sonke siyazi ukuthi akasafuni ukuchitha ngisho indibilishi kubantu baseHawaii noma abaseVirgini nanoma ubani omunye kunabo base-Ukraine. Kodwa uma u-Ilhan Omar engeke aphikisane nalokho okuthiwa ukusiza i-Ukraine kuyilapho uRand Paul noHenry Kissinger noDonald Trump bezokwenza, kungaba khona umbuzo ukuthi yisiphi isikhundla esomuntu onakekelayo?

Yebo, empeleni kungaba khona. Ingabe ukhona okhumbulayo efunda ngephutha lokungqubuzana kwabasemagunyeni? Ngabe asikulungele yini ukumemeza “silandela isayensi”? Asisho yini ukuthi siyakwazisa ukucabanga okuzimele? Ingabe i-UVA ayisafundisi leyo ngcosana yeJefferson ngesidingo sabantu abanolwazi? Hhayi-ke, okushiwo konke lokho ukuthi into ethile ayilona iqiniso ngenxa yokuthi ubani ovumelana nayo, kodwa ngoba empeleni kunengqondo kuwe njengomuntu ocabangayo.

Impi yase-Ukraine, izinhlangothi zombili zivuma buthule kuyilapho imemeza okuphambene, iyisixakaxaka esingapheli. Futhi uma ukholelwa inganekwane yanoma yiluphi uhlangothi mayelana nokunqoba okuphelele, sicela ucabangele ukuthi ukunqoba okunjalo kungaba okuhlala njalo, okuzinzile, noma okunobulungisa kanjani. Lena impi yokungavumeli abantu baseCrimea naseDonbas ukuthi bazikhethele isiphetho sabo. Lokho kuphambene nentando yeningi, futhi impumelelo noma ukwehluleka kunoma yiluphi uhlangothi okulo okuzohlala noma ngabe kungenzeka nganoma iyiphi indlela.

Le mpi iphetha ngokuyekethisa noma nge-apocalypse yenuzi. Ukubeka engcupheni i-apocalypse yenuzi kuyasangana, kuyilapho kuwumkhuba ojwayelekile futhi owamukelekayo. Ukucabanga ngokuzimela kusho ukwenqaba lokho. Le mpi iyisithiyo esiphezulu sokubambisana komhlaba wonke mayelana nesimo sezulu kanye nemvelo, futhi ingumcekeli oqondile ophezulu wemvelo. Ingamandla aphezulu aguqula izinsiza emhlabeni wonke zibe impi. Kuyisizathu sokuhlola konke esikwenzayo futhi sinciphise kunokwandisa amalungelo ethu. Ifundisa ukucwasa nokululaza abantu. Futhi ifundisa, ngokuphambene ncamashi nalokho esikufundisa izingane zethu, kodwa ngokuqondana okuphelele nezinkulungwane zamabhayisikobho ku-Netflix nase-Amazon, lokho kuyekethisa kubi, ukuthi ukubambelela ekubhujisweni okuphelele komunye kuyatuseka, nokuthi ubudlova buxazulula izinkinga.

Ingabe sesike sabhekana neqiniso lokuthi ngaphansi kwe-3% yezindleko zezempi zase-US zingaqeda indlala eMhlabeni? Ukusetshenziswa kwezempi kukhulu kangangokuthi izingxenyana zakhona zingashintsha umhlaba, kuhlanganise ne-United States. Asikho isidingo salokhu kukhethwa kwethu kobugovu noma bona. Futhi empeleni ukusiza umhlaba kuzokhiqiza izitha eziningi ezimbalwa kunokuqhumisa amabhomu. Ngokungafani namazwe avamile, i-United States ibalwa njengamaphesenti angu-40 alokho okubizwa ngokuthi usizo lwangaphandle, izikhali zamasosha angaphandle. Abamukeli bayo abakhulu yi-Ukraine, Afghanistan, Israel, ne-Egypt. Kodwa-ke, njengephesenti lemali engenayo, usizo lwangempela lwakwamanye amazwe lwamanye amazwe lukhulu kunalolo lwase-United States, kuhlanganise nezikhali.

Mhlawumbe kufanele sibheke kancane kuzo zonke izikhali zamahhala zaseGibhithe, ngoba uSenator unemigoqo yegolide ekhabetheni lakhe ukwenza lokho kwenzeke. Kodwa ingabe siwakhohliwe Amalungu eCongress aqhosha ngalokho azokuzuza esitokisini sezikhali ku-Wall Street ngokubhebhezela impi e-Ukraine? Ingabe sesikhohliwe ukuthi izikhali zamahhala eziphikisayo zika-Israyeli zizokutholela imbangi ekhokhelwa kahle futhi uxoshwe emakomitini nasekubonakaleni kwethelevishini? Akukhona konke mayelana nezinsimbi zegolide. Eqinisweni, ohlelweni lokufumbathisa lomkhankaso osemthethweni, amathangi anuka kabi axhaswe yi-Saudi, amafilimu nemidlalo yevidiyo exhaswe yi-Pentagon kanye nemikhosi yangaphambi komdlalo, kanye neminyango ejikelezayo phakathi kwabathengisi bezikhali nezitolo zemithombo yezindaba kanye nalokho okubizwa ngokuthi yinkonzo yomphakathi, imigoqo yegolide ingaphezulu kwe isibonakaliso sobuwula kunanoma yiluphi uhlobo lwenkohlakalo engajwayelekile.

Impi nokuthula kungaba umbuzo olula. Ukubulala abantu abaningi kubi. Kubi uma iRussia ikwenza. Kubi uma iMelika ikwenza. Kubi uma i-Ukraine ikwenza. Ukuyekethisa nokuthula bekulokhu kwenzeka futhi kungcono. Kuya kuba nzima njengoba impi idonsa isikhathi eside. Futhi lokho kuwumkhuba oyingozi uma okunye kuwukukhuphuka kwezikhali zenuzi. Ukuvumela abantu abasezindaweni ezinezingxabano ukuthi bazikhethele isiphetho sabo kuyintando yeningi. Ukufaka abantu ebuqabani obuyisibopho, kanye nokubopha labo abaphikisayo, njengoba kwenza iRussia ne-Ukraine, kuphambene nentando yeningi.

I-US iyingxenye yezivumelwano ezimbalwa ezinkulu zamalungelo abantu kunanoma yisiphi esinye isizwe eMhlabeni, ingumbhidli omkhulu we-International Criminal Court kanye ne-International Court of Justice, umhlukumezi omkhulu we-veto eNhlanganweni Yezizwe Ezihlangene (uZelensky ulungile ukuyifuna ihambile), umephuli omkhulu wezivumelwano ezihlobene nempi nokuthula nokuncishiswa kwezikhali, uhlaka oluvame kakhulu lwezivumelwano ayeyingxenye yalo, umephuli omkhulu wesivumelwano sokungavinjelwa kwezikhali zenuzi, emi ngaphandle kwezivumelwano Zezimayini Zomhlaba, Zokuhweba Ngezikhali, kanye Nezivumelwano Zezikhali Ezihlangene. Umthengisi wezikhali ophambili, umqeqeshi we-coup-train, futhi-ngezinyathelo eziningi - Umbhubhisi womhlaba kufanele avale mayelana nokuhleleka okusekelwe emithethweni futhi abambe nalabo abasekela oyedwa, kuhlanganise nezizwe ezingama-47 eziqhube iZizwe Ezihlangene ngezingxoxo zokuthula e-Ukraine.
