Incwadi Yakwa-Transpartisan Ephikisana Nezisekelo Ezintsha Zamasosha Ase-US eYurophu kanye Nesiphakamiso Sezinye Izindlela Zokusekela Ukuphepha kwe-Ukraine, i-US, kanye ne-European
UMongameli othandekayo u-Joseph Biden, uNobhala Wezokuvikela u-Lloyd J. Austin III, USihlalo Wezinduna Zezisebenzi Ezihlangene u-Gen. Mark A. Milley, Unobhala Wezwe u-Antony Blinken, Umeluleki Wezokuphepha Kazwelonke u-Jake Sullivan, Amalungu eCongress,
Abasayiniswe ngezansi bamele iqembu elibanzi labahlaziyi bezempi, omakadebona, osolwazi, abagqugquzeli, nezinhlangano ezivela kuwo wonke umkhakha wezepolitiki eziphikisana nokwakhiwa kwezizinda zamasosha ase-US eYurophu njengokumosha nokulimazayo kwezokuphepha kwezwe futhi ezinikeza ezinye izindlela zokuphendula impi e-Ukraine.
Sithola okulandelayo futhi sandise iphuzu ngalinye ngezansi:
1) Alukho usongo lwezempi lwaseRussia oluvumela ukwakhiwa kwezisekelo zamasosha ase-US.
2) Izisekelo ezintsha zase-US zingamosha izigidigidi zemali yabakhokhi bentela futhi ziphazamise imizamo yokwenza
vikela ukuphepha kwe-United States.
I-3) Izisekelo ezintsha zase-US zizokwandisa ukungezwani kwezempi neRussia, okwandisa
ingozi yempi engaba khona yenuzi.
I-4) I-US ingakwazi futhi kufanele ivale izisekelo ezingadingekile eYurophu njengophawu lwamandla ngenkathi
ukujulisa ezinye izindlela ezihlakaniphile nezingabizi kakhulu nabalingani.
I-5) Iziphakamiso zokuma kwezempi yase-US eYurophu zingaqhubekisela phambili izingxoxo zokuqeda impi
e-Ukraine ngokushesha ngangokunokwenzeka.
- Alukho Usongo Lwezempi LwaseRussia Olufakazela Izisekelo Ezintsha Zase-US
Impi kaPutin e-Ukraine ikhombise ubuthakathaka bebutho laseRussia, ihlinzeka ngobufakazi obuningi bokuthi ayilona usongo olujwayelekile kumadlelandawonye e-United States kanye ne-NATO.
Nakuba ukwesaba ngeRussia phakathi kwabathile eYurophu kuqondakala, amasosha aseRussia awalona usongo eYurophu ngale kwe-Ukraine, iMoldova, neCaucuses.
Cishe izizinda zase-US ezikhona ezingama-300 eYurophu[1] kanye nezisekelo namabutho engeziwe e-NATO kanye ne-Article 5 ye-NATO (edinga amalungu ukuthi avikele noma yiliphi ilungu elihlaselwe) inikeza okungaphezu kokuvimbela okwanele kunoma yikuphi ukuhlasela kweRussia ku-NATO. Izisekelo ezintsha azidingeki.
Abalingani be-NATO, bodwa, banezisekelo zamasosha namandla angaphezu kwamandla okuvikela iYurophu kunoma yikuphi ukuhlasela kwezempi yaseRussia. Uma amasosha ase-Ukraine engakwazi ukubamba amasosha angama-75% eRussia,[2] Abalingani be-NATO abadingi izisekelo namabutho e-US eyengeziwe.
Ukwandisa ngokungenasidingo isibalo sezisekelo zamasosha ase-US namasosha eYurophu kungaphazamisa amasosha ase-US ekuvikeleni i-United States.
- Izisekelo Ezintsha Zizomosha Izigidigidi Zamadola Abakhokhi Bentela
Ukwakha izisekelo namabutho ase-US eYurophu kuzomosha izigidigidi zamadola asetshenziswe kangcono ekubhidlizeni ingqalasizinda yase-US nezinye izidingo zasekhaya ezicindezelayo. Abakhokhi bentela baseMelika sebevele bachitha imali eningi kakhulu begcina izisekelo namandla eYurophu: cishe amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-30 ngonyaka.[3]
Noma ngabe abambisene nabo bakhokhela ezinye izisekelo ezintsha, abakhokhi bentela base-US bazosebenzisa imali ethe xaxa ukuze balondoloze amanani amakhulu amabutho ase-US eYurophu ngenxa yezindleko zokuhamba, amaholo anyusiwe, nezinye izindleko. Izindleko zesikhathi esizayo zingakhuphuka njengoba amazwe asokhaya evame ukuhoxisa usekelo lwezezimali lwezisekelo zase-US ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.
Ukwakha izisekelo ezintsha zaseYurophu kungenzeka kukhuphule isabelomali sePentagon esikhukhumele lapho kufanele sisike leso sabelomali kulandela ukuphela kwempi yase-Afghan. I-US isebenzisa izikhathi ezingaphezu kwezingu-12 lokho iRussia ekusebenzisa kwezempi yayo. Abalingani base-US ku-NATO sebevele bayichitha kakhulu iRussia, kanti iJalimane nabanye bahlela ukukhulisa imali yabo yezempi kakhulu.[4]
- Izisekelo Ezintsha Zizokwenyusa Ukungezwani kwe-US-Russia, Impi Enobungozi (Yenuzi).
Ukwakha izisekelo ezintsha zase-US (noma i-NATO) eYurophu kuzokwandisa ukungezwani kwezempi okukhulayo neRussia, kwandise ubungozi bempi engase ibe khona yenuzi neRussia.
Ukwakha izizinda ezintsha zamasosha ase-US eMpumalanga Yurophu, eduze naseduze kwemingcele yaseRussia, njengengxenye yokwanda kwe-NATO kule minyaka engamashumi amabili edlule, kusongela iRussia ngokungenasidingo futhi kwakhuthaza uPutin ukuthi aphendule ngezempi. Ngabe abaholi baseMelika kanye nomphakathi baphendule kanjani ukube iRussia yayakhe izisekelo muva nje eCuba, eVenezuela, naseCentral America?
- Ukuvala Izisekelo Njengophawu Lwamandla Nezinye Izinhlelo Zokuvikela
Ibutho lase-US selivele linezisekelo zezempi eziningi kakhulu—ezindaweni ezingaba ngu-300—kanye namandla amaningi eYurophu. Kusukela ekupheleni kweMpi Yomshoshaphansi, izisekelo zase-US eYurophu azizange ziyivikele iYurophu. Basebenze njengamapheshana ezimpini eziyinhlekelele eMpumalanga Ephakathi.
I-US ingakwazi futhi kufanele ivale ngokuphephile izisekelo futhi ihoxise amabutho eYurophu njengophawu lwamandla nokuzethemba emandleni ezempi yase-US kanye nabalingani be-NATO futhi njengesibonakaliso sosongo lwangempela olubhekene neYurophu.
Impi yase-Ukraine ibonise lokho ochwepheshe bezempi asebekwazi kakade: amandla okuphendula ngokushesha angathumela eYurophu ngokushesha ngokwanele ukuze azinze ezwekazini lase-United States ngenxa yobuchwepheshe bomoya kanye ne-sealift. Amasosha amaningi asabela empini yase-Ukraine avela e-United States hhayi ezisekelweni eYurophu, ephakamisa imibuzo mayelana nesidingo sezisekelo namasosha eYurophu.
Impi yase-Ukraine ikhombisile ukuthi izivumelwano zokufinyelela ezisekelweni zezizwe ezisingathayo, ezokuthutha izikhali kanye nezinhlelo ezibanzi zezokuthutha, amalungiselelo okuqeqesha, kanye nokubeka kusengaphambili kuyizindlela ezingcono nezingabizi kakhulu zokusiza ababambisene be-NATO bavikele ukuphepha kwaseYurophu.
- Iziphakamiso Zokuthuthukisa Izingxoxo Zokuqeda Impi E-Ukraine
Uhulumeni wase-US angadlala indima ekhiqizayo ezingxoxweni ngokuthembisa ukuthi ngeke akhe izisekelo ezintsha eYurophu.
Uhulumeni wase-US angathembisa—esidlangalaleni noma ngasese, njengaseCuban Missile Crisis—ukunciphisa amandla awo, ahoxise izinhlelo zezikhali ezihlaselayo, futhi avale izisekelo ezingadingekile eYurophu.
I-US ne-NATO bangathembisa ukuthi ngeke bayivume i-Ukraine nanoma yimaphi amalungu amasha e-NATO ngaphandle uma iRussia nayo iba yilungu.
I-US kanye ne-NATO bangakhuthaza ukuthi kubuyelwe ezivumelwaneni eYurophu ezilawula ukuthunyelwa kwamabutho avamile nawenuzi, okuhlanganisa ukuhlolwa okuvamile nokuqapha ezisekelweni.
Ngentshisekelo yezokuphepha zase-US, eYurophu, nasemhlabeni jikelele, siyakunxusa ukuthi ungadali izisekelo zamasosha ase-US e-Europe futhi usekele izingxoxo zamanxusa ukuze kuqedwe impi e-Ukraine ngokushesha okukhulu.
