Yini ekugcina uphefumulelwe ukusekela ushintsho?
Njengamandla ezempi amakhulu kunawo wonke emhlabeni, i-US iqophe umlando wezimpi zakwamanye amazwe, ukuhlasela, nokuketulwa kwabantu okungenakulinganiswa. Namuhla, abantu baseMelika abaningi bayangabaza umcabango wokuthi izwe lethu "liyisibani senkululeko" noma "isizwe esisodwa esibalulekile." Isimo seWashington njengezwe elinamandla emhlabeni wonke siyancipha, okuholela engozini ekhulayo yezingxabano “nabambangi bezomnotho” iRussia neChina. Ngaleso sikhathi, ukushintsha kwesimo sezulu kusongela ukubangela ukufa, ukucekelwa phansi kanye nokufuduka kwabantu abaningi kunezimpi zomhlaba.

Njengawo wonke umuntu odonsa umoya, lo bhubhane ubuvimbezele ubushoshovu bami. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ukusakazeka kwembulunga yonke kwezifo ezibulalayo kuye kwagxilisa ukunakekela kwezwe kolunye “usongo oluvamile” olungahlangatshezwana nalo kuphela ngokubambisana, ukubambisana kwamazwe ngamazwe. Amamashi amaningi ayewukubonakaliswa kobushoshovu. Manje imibhikisho imbalwa, mincane, futhi igadiwe. Ngenhlanhla, amanethiwekhi omhlaba wonke wamakhompyutha manje enza kube nokwenzeka ukuhlela imibukiso, ukuduba, nezinkomfa kusetshenziswa ikhibhodi noma i-smartphone. I-WBW isebenzise la mathuluzi ngokunenzuzo.
