Umshana wami, umakadebona Wezempi owachitha ingxenye enkulu yenkonzo yakhe yezempi engu-20 nangaphezulu njengesikhulu eNingizimu Korea, manje usengusonkontileka wezempi ohlala esizindeni e-Afghanistan. Okuwukuphela kwengxoxo yethu mayelana nokungcoliswa kwamasosha ase-US eSouth Korea bekuyinto engaqali.
Lawa mazwe amabili ase-Asia, ahlukene kakhulu ngentuthuko, umnotho kanye nokuzinza, anento efanayo - izisekelo zezempi zase-US ezingcoliswe kakhulu, izwe lethu elithatha kancane umthwalo wezezimali. Umngcolisi uyakhokha (aka "uyayiphula, uyayilungisa") ayisebenzi embuthweni wezempi wase-United States phesheya. Futhi izisebenzi zomphakathi kanye namasosha amaningi ase-US abekwe kulezi zisekelo abanalo ithuba lokuwina isinxephezelo sezokwelapha ngokugula kwabo okuhlobene nokungcoliswa kwezempi.
Cabanga ngemigodi yokushiswa kwezempi yamasosha. Ngokuphuthuma kwayo impi, i-DOD ayizange indiva imithetho yayo yezemvelo futhi yagunyaza imigodi eshiswayo evulekile - "imililo emikhulu enobuthi" - kumakhulu ezisekelo zase-US e-Afghanistan, e-Iraq naseMpumalanga Ephakathi. Bezibekwe phakathi kwezindlu eziyisisekelo, indawo yokusebenza kanye nezindawo zokudlela, ngaphandle kokulawula ukungcoliswa kwemvelo. Amathani emfucuza - isilinganiso samaphawundi ayi-10 nsuku zonke isosha ngalinye - ashiswa kuwo nsuku zonke, usuku lonke nobusuku bonke, okuhlanganisa imfucuza yamakhemikhali nezokwelapha, uwoyela, amapulasitiki, izibulala-zinambuzane nezidumbu. Umlotha ogcwele amakhulukhulu obuthi nezinto ezibangela umdlavuza wenze waba mnyama umoya nezingubo ezimboziwe, imibhede, amadeski namahholo okudlela, ngokophenyo lweHhovisi Likahulumeni Lokubalwa Kwezimali. Imemo yezempi eputshuziwe yango-2011 ixwayisa ngokuthi izingozi zezempilo ezivela emigodini eshile zinganciphisa ukusebenza kwamaphaphu futhi zandise izifo zamaphaphu nezenhliziyo, phakathi kwazo i-COPD, isifuba somoya, isifo sokuqina kwemithambo yegazi noma ezinye izifo zenhliziyo.
Ngokubikezelwa, abaphathi bamasosha bawavala okwesikhashana lapho osopolitiki nojenene abasezikhundleni eziphezulu bezovakasha.
Bambalwa omakadebona abavezwe ubuthi bomgodi wokushiswa bathole isinxephezelo ngesifo sabo esinzima nesingapheli sokuphefumula. Asikho isakhamuzi sendawo sase-Afghani noma sase-Iraqi noma usonkontileka ozimele oyoke aphumelele. Izimpi zingase ziphele, izisekelo zingavaleka, kodwa izinyathelo zethu zezempi ezinobuthi zihlala ziyifa elinobuthi ezizukulwaneni ezizayo.
Cabanga ngokulandelayo ngemiphongolo engu-250 yesibulala-magciwane i-Agent Orange kanye namakhulu amathani amakhemikhali ayingozi, angcwatshwa e-Army's Camp Carroll, eNingizimu Korea, ngokobufakazi babanye ababengamasosha ase-US ngo-May 2011. ” kusho umakadebona uSteve House. Imibiko yangaphambilini mayelana ne-US emba izigubhu ezibolayo kanye nenhlabathi engcolile evela esisekelweni ayivezi ukuthi ikuphi. Ucwaningo lwezemvelo olwenziwa amabutho ase-US e-Camp Carroll ngo-1992 kanye no-2004 lwathola inhlabathi namanzi angaphansi komhlaba kungcoliswe kabi i-dioxin, izibulala-zinambuzane nezincibilikisi. Le miphumela ayizange yamukelwe kuhulumeni waseNingizimu Korea kuze kube ubufakazi bomakadebona base-US kwabezindaba ngo-2011.
I-Camp Carroll itholakala eduze komfula iNakdong, umthombo wamanzi okuphuza wamadolobha amakhulu amabili ezansi nomfula. Amazinga omdlavuza kanye nokufa kwezifo zesistimu yezinzwa phakathi kwamaKorea endaweni eseduze nesizinda sase-US kuphezulu kunesilinganiso sikazwelonke.
Nginabangane emazweni ase-Asia abanobudlelwano obungokomlando ne-United States kusukela ngeMpi Yezwe II, amazwe axwaye i-China ngezifiso zayo zomnotho ezinonya. Nakuba iningi lalaba bangane likucasula kakhulu ukuba khona kwamasosha ase-US emazweni abo, abambalwa bazwakalisa umuzwa wokuphepha wokuba nezisekelo zamasosha ase-US njengento ephikisana neChina. Kodwa-ke, lokhu kungikhumbuza izingane ezithembele ezihlungwini zasesikoleni, ukungezwani kwazo namaqhinga akuthuthukisi ukukhula kwezingane ingasaphathwa eyokuzinza kwesifunda sase-Asia.
Izintela zethu zisekela okungenani izisekelo zangaphandle ezingu-800, namakhulu ezinkulungwane zamasosha nosonkontileka bezempi emazweni angaphezu kuka-70. Umhlaba wonke uhlangene unezisekelo zakwamanye amazwe ezingaba ngu-30. Cabanga futhi, ukuthi i-United States ingumthengisi ohamba phambili emhlabeni jikelele wezikhali zempi, ngokuthengiswa kwezigidigidi ezingama-42 zamaRandi kanye nokwenyuka okulindelekile ngo-2018. Isabelomali esihlongozwayo sikahulumeni wethu sonyaka wezi-2018 sinyusa izindleko zokuvikela ezempi (sezingaphezu kwazo zonke izindleko zasekhaya zokufunda, izindlu. , ingqalasizinda yezokuthutha, imvelo, amandla, ucwaningo, nokunye) ngezindleko zokuncishiselwa ezinhlelweni zasekhaya.
Asigcini nje ngokushiya izindawo ezingcoliswe ngokuyingozi emhlabeni wonke endimeni yethu yomhlaba wonke njengamaphoyisa aphezulu kuyilapho abathengisi bethu bezikhali bezuza ngokungqubuzana emhlabeni wonke, kodwa sikwenza ngokunganaki izakhamuzi zethu:
Zonke izibhamu ezenziwayo, yonke imikhumbi yempi eqalwayo, wonke amarokhethi adubulayo asho, ngomqondo wokugcina, ukweba kulabo abalambile futhi abangadliwe, labo ababandayo nabangagqokile. Lo mhlaba wezikhali awuchithi imali wodwa. Ichitha izithukuthuku zezisebenzi zayo, ubuhlakani bososayensi bayo, amathemba ezingane zayo. ~ UMongameli Eisenhower, 1953
