Umongameli-okhethwayo ukhubeka ngemithetho elawula amalungelo ezwe kanye nempi, eshaya yonke indlela.
Akukona ukuhlanya nje. Kubi.
"Kusukela ku-1979," i-Guardian Uveza ukuthi, "I-US ivume isimangalo sikaBeijing sokuthi iTaiwan iyingxenye yeChina, kanti ubudlelwane bulawulwa yizinqubo ezilandelwa yi-'Cin China '."
Kepha nakhu okwenziwe nguDonald Trump: Wathatha ucingo lokuhalalisela luqhamuka kumongameli waseTaiwan, uZama Ing-we. Ngokwenza kanjalo, waba ngumongameli wokuqala wase-US noma umongameli-okhethwe ukuthi akhulume ngqo nomholi waseTaiwan eminyakeni ye-37. Ngaphezu kwalokho, wambiza njengoMongameli of I-Taiwan, hhayi umongameli on I-Taiwan, kubukeka sengathi kusho ukuthi isifundazwe sesiqhingi empeleni siyisizwe esizimele, esishiya izwe laseChina ngokuphelele - futhi siqeda ubudlelwano bethu naleloya lizwe lesikhathi esikhulu. Awufuni ukulungiselelwa okungalungile ukuqala iMpi Yezwe 4.
Ngaphezu kwalokho: "Emasontweni amaningi ngaphambi kokuba uMongameli okhethe uDonald Trump afune ukuphikisana noMongameli waseTaiwan," kuqhubeka udaba lwe-Guardian, ". . . usomabhizinisi othi uhlobene nengxenye yakhe wabuza ngotshalomali olukhulu ekwakheni amahhotela okunethezeka njengengxenye yokuthuthuka kwesikhumulo sezindiza esisha. ”
Lezi zimangalo "zengeza ekukhathazekeni okukhulayo mayelana nezingxabano ezingaba khona zentshisekelo phakathi kombuso wamabhizinisi kaTrump nenqubomgomo yezangaphandle yase-US."
Lesi yinhlaka evelayo yobumongameli bukaTrump: Ungumuntu ongazi lutho ngokwenqaba owenqaba ukuhlukanisa izinhlaka zakhe neziningi zebhizinisi, eguqula ubumongameli baseMelika bube yithuba elingapheli lokushayisana kwezintshisekelo, futhi, kuleso sikhathi, libeka engcupheni izwe kanye nobuzwe ukuphepha komhlaba. Leyo yingxenye “yobuhlanya”.
Kepha ingxenye “engemnandi” iyaphazamisa nangokwengeziwe. Umuntu oziqhenyayo ukuveze lokho kwakhe ngemuva kokuzivikela: "Kuyamangaza ukuthi i-US ithengisa kanjani iTaiwan ngezigidigidi zamadola emishini yezempi kodwa akufanele ngivume ukuhalalisela."
Manje?
Yebo, yebo, abaphathi baka-Obama bagunyaze a Ukuthengiswa kwezingalo ezingama- $ 1.83 billion eTaiwan nyakenye, kubikwa abakwaReuters. Leli phakethe lifaka phakathi imicibisholo eminingi, amasele amabili, izimoto ezihlasele kakhulu, izibhamu kanye ne-ammo, konke ukuholwa kwemikhosi emibili yezempi yaseMelika yezimboni, uRaytheon noR Lockheed Martin.
Ngakho-ke yize kungekho umongameli wase-US okhulume nomholi waseTaiwan kusukela nge1979, noma wasebenzisa ngokungafanele isethulo esingafanele ekubhekiseleni kuye, besithengisa izikhali zempi zobuchwepheshe obuphakeme esifundazweni saseChina ngaso sonke isikhathi. Eminyakeni eyisithupha edlule, kwakukhona isivumelwano esikhulu ngisho nangokwengalo, sisonke $ 6.4 billion, kufaka phakathi i-60 Black Hawk enophephela emhlane kanye nemikhumbi ebunjiwe engama- $ 2.85 billion. Kungenzeka kanjani lokhu?
Kumane kungumhlaba esiphila kuwo: oguqukayo ngokuzumayo kodwa ngasikhathi sinye ozuze futhi ozithethelelayo ocacayo. Nakhu kanjani UMaxFisher kuchaze iNew York Times ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule: "Ngokuthengisa izingalo zaseTaiwan, i-United States iqinisekisa ukuthi lesi siqhingi singavimba ukuhlaselwa ngamasosha amakhulu amakhulu asezwekazini. Lokhu kugcina ukulingana kwamandla okuthi, yize kuthambile, kuhloselwe ukuvikela impi. ”
Umgomo wethu we-One China uvele ube yinto engajwayelekile. Ekwakheni ubuhlobo ne-China Bara, sesihambile kakhulu ukwamukela ukuthi kunenhlangano eyodwa eyi-China futhi lelo bhizinisi lifaka neTaiwan. Kepha ngoba iTaiwan iyingxenye yethu futhi siyintando yeningi esikanye nayo, siye sahlonipha, eminyakeni edlule, isibopho “sokuyivikela” ngokuyithengisa ngobuningi nezikhali eziningi. Lokhu kubizwa ngokuthi Umthetho Wobudlelwano BaseTaiwan.
"Ukuthengisa izingalo e-United States eziya eTaiwan empeleni kube nempikiswano, ikakhulukazi neBeijing," uFisher wavuma: "Kepha kuyindlela ehloselwe ukugcina isimo sikhona."
Ukuziphatha kukaTrump, ngakolunye uhlangothi, “ngokunikeza umholi waseTaiwan ukuqashelwa ngokusemthethweni. . . kwehlukile ngoba kuphazamisa isimo esikhona. ”
Ngakho-ke lapho unayo. Kepha ngixoleleni uma ngihlala futhi ngicabange umzuzwana, ngenkuthazo evulekile, ngichazelwa isimo. Ukuthengisa izikhali, ngokungabazeki, kuqhubekela eChina ulaka lwentukuthelo, kodwa. . . bayizikhali. Ngokusobala, futhi yilokho okugcina lokho kufutheka kuqukethwe. Ngakho-ke konke kuhlanzekile futhi kuhlanzekile: Lokhu kungukuthula okushintshashintshayo kwePlanethi yethu, aka, isimo esikhona, esigcinwa izinkulungwane zezigidi zamadola azungeza iplanethi minyaka yonke, sibonga kakhulu i-USA, ebiza cishe isigamu sokuthengiswa kwezikhali zonyaka kweplanethi .
"Izikhali ze-Arms ziyindlela yokuphila eWashington," UWilliam Hartung ubhale muva nje eTomDispatch. “Ukusuka kumongameli kuye phansi, izingxenye ezinkulu zikahulumeni zizimisele ngokuqinisekisa ukuthi izingalo zaseMelika zizokhukhula imakethe yomhlaba kanye nezinkampani ezinjengoLokheed noBeeing zizophila impilo enhle. Kusukela kumongameli ohambweni lwakhe phesheya ukuhambela abaholi bomhlaba abahlangene koonobhala bamazwe nokuzivikela kubasebenzi bamanxusa aseMelika, izikhulu zaseMelika zihlala zisebenza njengabathengisi bezinkampani zezikhali. Futhi iPentagon inika amandla abo. Ukusuka ekuthengiseni imali, ukwenza lula, kanye nokuyibopha ngokoqobo imali yezingalo kuya ekudluliseleni izikhali kubaxhasi abathandekayo ngentengo yabakhokhi, empeleni ngumthengisi wezikhali omkhulu kunabo bonke emhlabeni. ”
Nasi isimo: esimnyama, esizolile. . . kunenzuzo. Ukuphathwa kuka-Obama kugunyaze ukuthengiswa okungaphezulu kuka $ 200 billion ezingabiza izikhali ngesikhathi sokusebenza kwayo, amanye ama- $ 60 billion ngaphezu kukaGeorge W. Bush. Ngokuvamile, ukuthengiswa kwezikhali akuyona into ebucayiubuzwe, noma waxoxwa, ngaphandle kwemishado yezepolitiki. Bafika bembozwe lulimi lokuthengisa: Baqinisekisa ukuphepha kwekhasimende; baqinisekisa ukuphepha kwawo wonke umuntu, kubandakanya nelethu. Akunandaba ukuthi izikhali zempi zizungeza umhlaba ngokungapheli futhi wonke umuntu ohlomile, umngani kanye nezitha ngokufanayo.
UTrump, okuyiqiniso oshadile kulesi sikhundla ngendlela yakhe ekhethekile, noma kunjalo abahlaseli baxaka futhi ngokungenathemba ngemigudu yamandla, eveza izimfihlo zakhe eziguquguqukayo njengoba ehamba. Mhlawumbe yile ndlela umhlaba oguquka ngayo - naphezu kwayo uqobo.
