I-Ukraine kanye nenganekwane yempi

NguBrad Wolf, World BEYOND War, Februwari 26, i-2022

NgoSeptemba odlule 21st, ekukhumbuleni iminyaka engu-40th yoSuku Lokuthula Lwamazwe Ngamazwe, njengoba amabutho ase-US aphuma e-Afghanistan, inhlangano yethu yokuthula yendawo yagcizelela ukuthi ngeke siyeke ukusho ukuthi cha ezicelweni zempi, ukuthi lezo zingcingo zizofika. futhi, futhi ngokushesha.

Akuzange kuthathe isikhathi eside.

Ukusungulwa kwamasosha aseMelika kanye nesiko lethu lempi yasekhaya kumele ngaso sonke isikhathi kube ne-villain, imbangela, impi. Kufanele kusetshenziswe izindodla zemali, kusetshenziswe izikhali ngokushesha, kubulawe abantu, kucekelwe phansi amadolobha.

Manje, i-Ukraine iyingxenye yeqembu.

Abanye bayahlehla bathi impi isemathanjeni ethu. Nakuba ubudlova bungase bube yingxenye ye-DNA yethu, ukubulawa okuhleliwe kwezimpi ezihleliwe akunjalo. Lokho kuwukuziphatha okufundwayo. Ohulumeni bawusungula, bawuphelelisa ukuze bathuthukise imibuso yabo, futhi babengenakuwuqhubekisela phambili ngaphandle kokusekelwa izakhamuzi zawo.

Ngakho-ke, thina zakhamuzi kufanele sikhohliswe, siphakelwe indaba, inganekwane yamakhohlakali nezizathu ezilungile. Inganekwane yempi. “Singabantu abalungile,” akukho okubi esikwenzayo, ukubulala kuyinto enhle, ububi kumele buqedwe. Indaba ihlale ifana. Yinkundla yempi kanye “nababi” kuphela abashintshayo. Ngezinye izikhathi, njengaseRussia, "ababi" bamane baphinde basetshenziswe futhi baphinde basetshenziswe. IMelika iqhume ngamabhomu izwe elizimele nsuku zonke kule minyaka engamashumi amabili edlule, e-Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia naseYemen. Nokho lokho akukaze kube yingxenye yendaba esizitshela yona.

Kusukela ukuwa kweSoviet Union, sisebenzise i-NATO ukuzungeza iRussia. Amasosha ethu kanye nawabambisene nabo be-NATO - amathangi nemicibisholo yenuzi nezindiza zempi - akhuphukele emngceleni waseRussia ngendlela evusa inkanuko neqeda amandla. Ngaphandle kokuqinisekisa ukuthi i-NATO ngeke yande ukuze ifake amazwe angaphambili e-Soviet bloc, senze lokho kanye. Sahlomisa i-Ukraine, sanciphisa izixazululo zezokuxhumana njenge-Minsk Protocol, sabamba iqhaza ekuketulweni kombuso ngo-2014 okwaxosha uhulumeni lapho futhi safaka oweseka iNtshonalanga.

Besingasabela kanjani uma amaRussia ayevalelwe ngamanani amakhulu ngasemngceleni waseCanada? Uma amaShayina enza izivivinyo zempi yokudubula bukhoma ogwini lwaseCalifornia? Ngo-1962 lapho amaSoviet efaka imicibisholo eCuba, intukuthelo yethu yayinzima kakhulu sayisa umhlaba onqenqemeni lwempi yenuzi.

Umlando wethu omude wokufaka amanye amazwe kowethu, ukugxambukela okhethweni lwangaphandle, ukuketula ohulumeni, ukuhlasela amanye amazwe, ukuhlukunyezwa, usishiya sincane indawo yokukhuluma lapho abanye bephula umthetho wamazwe ngamazwe. Kepha akubonakali kuvimbela uhulumeni wethu, abezindaba zethu, thina uqobo ekuphindeni inganekwane yempi yabantu baseMelika njengabantu abalungile nawo wonke umuntu omubi. Sekuyindaba yethu yokulala, edala iphupho elibi.

Sesifike kulesi simo esibucayi eMpumalanga Yurophu ngoba sesilahlekelwe wukubona umhlaba ngeso lomunye. Sibona ngamehlo isosha, isosha laseMelika, hhayi isakhamuzi. Sivumele ukuziphatha kwezempi ukuthi kuchaze ukuziphatha kwethu kwabantu, ngakho-ke umbono wethu uba nenzondo, ukucabanga kwethu kube nempi, umbono wethu womhlaba ugcwale izitha. Kodwa embusweni wentando yeningi, yizakhamuzi okufanele zibuse, hhayi amasosha.

Futhi nokho umfudlana ongapheli wenkulumo-ze, ukulandisa okuhlanekezelwe komlando wethu, kanye nokudunyiswa kwempi, kudala isimo sengqondo sezempi kwabaningi bethu. Ngakho-ke kuba nzima ukuqonda ukuziphatha kwezinye izizwe, ukuqonda ukwesaba kwazo, ukukhathazeka kwazo. Sazi kuphela indaba yethu esidaliwe, inganekwane yethu, sikhathalela okusikhathazayo kuphela, ngakho sisempini kuze kube phakade. Siba abagqugquzeli kunokuba sibe abenzi bokuthula.

Ukuhlukunyezwa kwezempi kufanele kumiswe, kugwetshwe ukungabi namthetho kwamazwe ngamazwe, kuhlonishwe imingcele yezindawo, kugwetshwe ukwephulwa kwamalungelo abantu. Ukuze senze lokho kufanele silingise indlela yokuziphatha ethi siyayihlonipha, sikwenze ngendlela ezofundwa komunye nomunye wethu nasemhlabeni wonke. Kungaleso sikhathi kuphela lapho abephula umthetho beyoba mbalwa futhi behlukaniswe ngempela, bengakwazi ukusebenza enkundleni yamazwe ngamazwe, ngaleyo ndlela bavinjwe ekufezeni izinhloso zabo ezingekho emthethweni.

I-Ukraine akufanele ihlaselwe yiRussia. Futhi iRussia bekungafanele ibe nokuphepha nokuphepha kwayo kusongelwe ukwanda kwe-NATO nezikhali. Ingabe ngempela asikwazi ukuxazulula lezi zinkathazo ngaphandle kokuhlabana sodwa? Ingabe ukuhlakanipha kwethu okulinganiselwe, ukubekezela kwethu kufushane kangako, ubuntu bethu bugoqe kangangokuthi kufanele sifinyelele inkemba ngokuphindaphindiwe na? Impi ayifakwanga ngokofuzo emathanjeni ethu, futhi lezi zinkinga azidalwanga ngokwaphezulu. Senza them zinganekwane ezizungezile ngakho singakwazi unmake them. Kufanele sikukholelwe lokhu uma sifuna ukusinda.
