Impi Nokuthula Esikhathini sikaTrump: Umhlaba Ongaphezu Kwe-Arlington

Amazwi e-Arlington, Va., Januwari 29, 2017

Unyaka Ojabulisayo weQhude!

Ngiyabonga ngokungimema. Siyabonga ku-Archer Heinzen ngokusetha lokhu. Vele bengingeke ngize ukube ngangazi ukuthi iqembu le-basketball le-UVA lizobe lidlala i-Villanova ngo-1 ezimpondweni. Ngiyadlala, kodwa ngizoyibamba emsakazweni noma ngibuke umdlalo odlalwayo ngaphandle kwezikhangiso. Futhi uma ngenza kanjalo ngingaqinisekisa lokhu kuphela: ummemezeli uzobonga amasosha ase-US ngokubuka evela emazweni angu-175, futhi akekho ozozibuza ukuthi i-174 ngeke ibe ngokwanele yini.

Ngifisa sengathi ngingaqinisekisa nokuthi i-UVA izowina, kodwa kulapho izinkawu zezemidlalo zizungeze ngokucabanga okunengqondo. Empeleni anginalo izwi lokuthi i-UVA iyawina. Ngakho-ke ngingakwazi ukuguqula isifiso sami sibe isibikezelo esithi "Sizowina" bese ngimemezela ukuthi "thina" siwinile sengathi bengihileleke. Noma ake sithi i-UVA iyayishaya. Khona-ke ngingaphawula ukuthi “thina” sanquma ukugcina iLondon Perrantes emdlalweni nakuba ayenesandla esihlakazekile nomkhuhlane futhi esanda kulahlekelwa umlenze owodwa engozini yemoto, nakuba iqiniso elisobala liwukuthi ngangiwumqeqeshi ngempela. bengingeke ngikwenze lokho, njengoba - ukube bengilawula ngokugcwele uhulumeni wase-US - bengingeke ngisebenzise isigidintathu samadola ngonyaka ngamalungiselelo empi.

Akukho engingakusho ngezemidlalo okungase kube yisimungulu njengezindlela abantu abakhuluma ngazo ngepolitiki. Uma ubhikishela impi futhi amasosha ase-US ayiqala noma kunjalo, ungasho ukuthi "siqale impi." Asizange. Mhlawumbe othile ukwenze ngemali oyikhokhe ngentela. Mhlawumbe unomthwalo wemfanelo wokunxenxa iNdlu Yamaphutha ukuthi imise impi. Kodwa "thina" yakho ayikuhlukanisi nje kubantu abangaphandle kwalowo mthwalo wemfanelo, ikwehlukanisa nabantu abaqhunyiswa ngamabhomu nakubantu kuwo wonke lawo ma-96% esintu okungewona ama-U.S. ayingxenye yenhlangano yokuthula. Thina inhlangano yokuthula siyaphumelela noma siyehluleka ukumisa impi, futhi asinabo ubuzwe.

Futhi asiyona i-Democratic Party noma i-Republican Party. Asidingi "ukubuyisela" uhulumeni eqenjini elilodwa kwelinye iqembu, ngoba asikaze sibe nawo. Futhi kuphela umnyakazo ongazimisele ukuphupha ngezwe elingcono odinga ukuthi yonke into ibe ukubuyiswa noma ukubuyisela emuva noma ukwenza okuhle futhi. Asidingi ukunquma ukuthi yiliphi iqembu noma ubuntu obubi futhi simemezele elinye ngobungcwele. Kufanele sikwazi ukugxeka umongameli osongela impi neChina futhi sidumise umongameli ophakamisa ukuthula neRussia noma ngabe umongameli ofanayo, futhi noma ukunyakaza okuhle kungenxa yezizathu ezimbi, futhi noma ngabe iningi lezenzo zakhe ziwa. ohlangothini olulodwa kuphela lwebhukwana yethu - noma ngabe sesivele sithemba ukuthi uzoqokwa kabusha noma simatasa sizama ukumbeka icala. (Yebo, kungaba yimina lowo.) Kufanele sikhuze osopolitiki abangcono kakhulu uma benza okungalungile futhi situse okubi kakhulu lapho benza okulungile. Lokho kuzwakala njengendlela ehlanekezelwe yobungane, kodwa kuyindlela efanelekile kuhulumeni omele okumelwe azibandakanye ebunganeni bengqondo.

Ngakho, isixwayiso esifanele. Uma ngigxeka isenzo selungu leqembu elithile akungoba ngithanda futhi ngithobela elinye iqembu. Ipolitiki ayiwubuki umdlalo we-basketball. Kwezepolitiki kufanele ube senkantolo. Ukunemba kwalokho okubikezelayo kufanele kuthonywe yilokho okwenzayo. Emasontweni ambalwa edlule, iningi lethu belifuna ukuthi uMongameli Obama anikeze u-Chelsea Manning umusa. Isibikezelo esijwayelekile sasiwukuthi ngeke kwenzeke. Kwase kwenzeka. Futhi ukuhlaziya okuvamile kwakuwukuthi: Yebo, kwenzekile. Kodwa besingenzi isibikezelo, besenza isidingo. Senza ezinye eziningi ezihlulekile. Abaningi bama-whistleblower basasemakhejini noma ngenye indlela bayahlupheka. Iqiniso lokuthi u-Obama wenze okuthile kahle alishintshi iqiniso lokuthi usize ukukhiya uManning kwasekuqaleni. Umbuzo wokuthi ngabe wenza umonakalo omkhulu kunokuhle, ngicabanga ukuthi, kunzima ukuwuphendula, kodwa ngicabanga ukuthi akulungile ukubuza.

Ngizokhuluma kancane mayelana nokuthi sikuphi, bese kuthi lapho engingathanda ukuba khona, kanye nendlela yokufika lapho. Ngakho-ke, ngethemba ukuthi ngizosuka kokubi ngiye kokuhle ngiye kokunikeza amandla nokwanelisayo. Ukuthambekela okujwayelekile kukahulumeni wase-US kusuka kokubi kuye kokubi kuya kokudabukisayo. Futhi iqhubeka kuleyo nkambo kancane kancane. U-Obama ubeke amarekhodi okusebenzisa imali kwezempi. Waphonsa amabhomu amaningi e-Iraq kunaleyo eyenziwa nguBush. Wadala izimpi ze-drone. Waqeda umqondo wokuthi omongameli badinga iCongress for war. Wafaka amasosha amaningi emazweni amaningi. Wabhebhethekisa kakhulu impi esaqhubeka e-Afghanistan. Waqhumisa ngamabhomu amazwe ayisishiyagalombili futhi waqhosha ngakho. Wamisa ngokuqinile ubunhloli obungenawaranti, ukuboshwa okungenasisekelo, ukuhlukunyezwa, kanye nokubulawa njengesinqumo senqubomgomo esikhundleni sobugebengu. Wabhala imithetho eyimfihlo nesesidlangalaleni okuthiwa yimithetho ozongena esikhundleni sakhe ayikhethayo ngaphandle kokuphawula esiShayamthetho. Wadala impi ebandayo entsha neRussia. Lezi zinto wazenza ngokuzithandela noma wavumela abangaphansi kwakhe ukuba bazenze.

Futhi nakhu kufika uTrump ethi uzohlukumeza, ethi uzontshontsha uwoyela, ethi uzobulala imindeni, futhi angene emandleni angaphezu kwanoma yimuphi umuntu owake waba nawo, njengoba engakulungele ukuphatha njenganoma yimuphi umuntu. sebefinyelele eminyakeni engu-70 ubudala. Njengoba uBarack Obama noJohn McCain benza sengathi bavala ukuhlushwa, okwakuvele kuwubugebengu, uTrump uzoshaya sengathi uyakwenqaba. Abaningi bangashaqeka uma bethola ukuthi lokho ngeke kwenziwe ngokusemthethweni - okusho ukuthi empeleni kungenziwa ngempumelelo. Abaningi bangashaqeka uma bezwa ukuthi uTrump kanye nabangaphansi kwakhe baqondise inqwaba yabantu ngemicibisholo evela kumarobhothi andizayo, iningi labantu elingahlonzwanga, akekho noyedwa wabo obekwe icala, abambalwa uma kukhona okutholakale ukuthi akatholakali ukuthi aboshwe, futhi akekho noyedwa wabo oqhubekayo. kanye nosongo olusondele e-United States of America. Futhi, ngendlela, into eseduze ayiqhubeki. Ngiyethemba kakhulu ukuthi abantu bashaqekile futhi bayacasuka, noma ngabe ngincamela ukuthi benze lokho njengoba u-Obama edale le nqubomgomo.

Ngendlela, ngincoma ukubona i-movie ebizwa I-Bird kazwelonke ngoba, phakathi kwezinye izinto, kulinganisa umbhalo owodwa esinawo wabashayeli bezindiza bezindiza abakhuluma ngaphambi, ngesikhathi, nangemva kokuqhumisa isixuku sabantu endaweni ephakathi nendawo emhlabeni. Noma ungafunda nje okulotshiweyo, sibonga i-ACLU. Kuphambene namasosha asiza abantu enza umsebenzi onzima okufanele wenziwe ukuze kuvikelwe ama-akhawunti ethu asebhange namakhompyutha aphathekayo. Kuboniswa ukudabuka okulangazelela igazi okunonya. Akukona lokho amaqembu amaningi azokhetha ukukubuka ngoSuku Lokuthanda izwe. Ubuwazi ukuthi u-Trump udala iholide elisha? Angikakazwa ukuthi kuzoba nini, kodwa ngicabanga ukuthi kufanele sidale uSuku Lokuthula ngalolo suku esikhundleni salokho.

Njengoba kungenzeka ukuthi nihlangene, ngizothinta izihloko eziningi, futhi ngithemba ukuba nesikhathi esiningi sokuzama ukuphendula imibuzo mayelana naleyo oyithandayo. Ezinye izihloko engingaqhubeka ngazo izinsuku eziningi. Ezinye izihloko nje engizenza sengathi nginohlobo oluthile lomkhondo kuzo. Ngakho qaphela izindaba ezingamanga.

Ngiyadlala kakhulu. Kodwa ngizoqhubekela phambili ngiphendule umbuzo othi "Umuntu uhlukanisa kanjani okwangempela nezindaba ezingamanga?" Ngicabanga ukuthi into engcono kakhulu ongayenza ukuya emthonjeni. Uma ngichaza imuvi elingisa okulotshiweyo, ningangikholwa, futhi ningakholwa yifilimu. Hamba ufunde okulotshiweyo, noma ingxenye yokhiye yakho. Uma i New York Times ibika ukuthi lokho okubizwa nge-intelligence okubizwa ngokuthi umphakathi okubizwa ngokuthi ukuhlolwa kokugetshengwa kwe-Russian kuyinto embi, kodwa bese ibika kamuva esihlokweni ukuthi umbiko kahulumeni ubungenabo ubufakazi bangempela, ungazikhiphi izinwele zakho. Ungasifundi leso sihloko kwasekuqaleni. Funda umbiko ngokwawo. Akukona okude noma okunzima ukukuthola. Futhi ungasho ngemizuzu emibili ukuthi ayizenzi ngisho nokuthi iqukethe ubufakazi. Ungalaleli ukuthi umuntu ukhokhelwa kanjani ukuchaza ukubulawa kwamaphoyisa. Buka ividiyo ye-youtube yakho. Ungaphendukeli ku-CNN ukuze uthole ukuthi isikhulu esiphethe siyalile; ifunde kusizindalwazi se-White House.

Ukuya emthonjeni akuyona impendulo ephelele. Kufanele futhi ufunde imithombo eminingi, futhi kufanele unqume ukwethembeka kwayo okuhlobene, ngisho noma ikude nangezinye izilimi. Kodwa ngangokunokwenzeka hamba uye emthonjeni, futhi ube ngumahluleli wakho. Ngicabanga ukuthi izihloko zami zivele ezincwadini eziyi-11 Washington Post okusikiselwayo yinkulumo-ze yesiRashiya. Nokho yonke indatshana ivele nakuwebhusayithi yami. Wonke akhiqizwa ngale ndlela: Ngahlala phambi kwekhompyutha yami, ngacabanga ukuthi yini engangiyicabanga, futhi ngayibhala. Izihloko eziningi azingitholi ngisho indibilishi. Akekho owake wangitholela ngisho indibilishi eRussia. Futhi eziningi zezincwadi ezihilelekile azihlobene neRussia, uhulumeni engihlale ngiwugxeka. Isikhulu se-Russian Air Force sake sangibuza ukuthi ngizoshicilela yini izinto enginikeze zona ngaphansi kwegama lami, futhi ngenqaba esidlangalaleni kubhulogi yami, ngamqamba ngenqubo, futhi ngagxeka isicelo sakhe.

Ngakho-ke, ngikude nokungenaphutha, kepha uma ngiyizindaba ezingamanga zaseRussia, ubiza ngani lokho okubizwa ngokuthi uMnyango Wezokuphepha Kwasekhaya aphrintiwe Washington Post ukuthi iRussia yagqekeza uhlelo lwamandla eVermont - isimangalo esinqatshwe ngokushesha uhlelo lwamandla lwaseVermont? Futhi kufanele senzeni ngeqiniso lokuthi umnikazi we Washington Post ukhokhelwa kakhulu yi-CIA kune- Washington Post, iqiniso elingazange lembulwe Washington Post imibiko mayelana ne-CIA? Ngasekuqaleni kwaleli sonto i- New York Times okokuqala enkumbulweni yami ukubiza amanga kamongameli ngamanga. I-National Public Radio yamemezela ngokushesha ukuthi njengesimiso ngeke ikwenze lokho. Ngokuphambene, ngibhale incwadi ebizwa ngokuthi iqoqo lamanga kamongameli Impi Ngamanga. Ngakho-ke, yini inkohliso futhi yiziphi izindaba?

Ukusabela komhlaba kuDonald Trump, njengokusabela kwasekhaya, kuxubene kakhulu. Abanye bakhuthazwa ukuthi ukusunduza kwe-US ukuya empini neRussia kungase kudambe. I-United States neRussia ngayinye inezikhali zenuzi ezanele ukucekela phansi zonke izinto eziphilayo emhlabeni izikhathi eziningi. Izikhulu zePentagon batshele izintatheli ukuthi impi ebandayo neRussia ingeyenzuzo kanye ne-bureaucracy. Lapho kunengozi yokuqubuka kokuthula eSyria ezinyangeni ezithile emuva, amasosha ase-U.S senze ukukuvimba ngokuqhumisa amabhomu amasosha aseSyria, ngokusobala ngokumelene nentando kaMongameli Obama. I-US yasiza ukuketula umbuso e-Ukraine, yaveza ivoti lokuhlukana eCrimea njengokuhlasela nokuthumba ngenkani (yize ingazange iphakamise ukuvota kabusha), yenza izimangalo ezingenabufakazi mayelana nokudutshulwa kwendiza, yavula isizinda semicibisholo eRomania, yaqala. ukwakha isizinda semicibisholo ePoland, kwathuthela amasosha amaningi kanye nemishini eMpumalanga Yurophu kunalokho okubonwe kusukela ngeMpi Yezwe II, kwehlisa konke ukuzenzisa ukuthi isitha esicasula konke lokhu kwakuyi-Iran, futhi sasakaza izwi ngokuphindaphinda okungapheli ukuthi iRussia yayisongela iYurophu (yize iRussia , kuwo wonke amacala ayo angempela namacala, kuhlanganise nokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu eSiriya, kwakungasongeli iYurophu).

Umphakathi wase-US okuthiwa yizobunhloli wabeka igama lokuthi iRussia igqekeze igridi kagesi yaseVermont - indaba ngokusobala eyayisanda kuyenza. Kungenzeka kube ngabantu abafanayo abaqale bathi uTrump uneseva yekhompyutha eboshelwe ebhange laseRussia. Abukho ubufakazi. Abezindaba baqala ukudlala ngezindaba zokuthi i-C-Span nezinye iziteshi zigetshengwa yiRussia. Abukho ubufakazi. UC-Span uthe iRussia ayizange ikwenze. Omunye umuntu ngaphandle kweRussia wenze okuqukethwe kwe-TV yaseRussia kusakazeke ku-C-Span. Lokho okubizwa ngokuthi “ubuhlakani” okuthiwa “izinkonzo” kwakhipha uchungechunge lwemibiko engenabufakazi nezindaba ezaqinisekisa abantu abaningi baseMelika ukuthi uVladimir Putin wayegqekeze emishinini yokhetho yase-U.S. Le mibiko izame ukusho ngaphandle kokuthi inobufakazi bokuthi iRussia yangena kuma-imeyili eDemocrats yawanika iWikiLeaks. Imizamo yobufakazi bengxenye yokuqala yalokho yehle ngendlela exakile, futhi ingxenye yesibili ayizange izangwe nokuzanywa. Kodwa-ke abangaphezu kwengxenye yamaDemocrats batshele abavoti ukuthi bakholelwa ukuthi iRussia yagqekeza izibalo zamavoti zangempela, into engazange isho lutho. Izinto ezikuleyo mibiko ezingahlolwa ngokuzimela zivame ukuwohloka. Ama-ISP ahlonzwe njengesiRashiya ayengewona amaRussia. Lapho imibiko yengezwe ngolwazi olutholakala esidlangalaleni olumayelana nenethiwekhi ye-TV yase-Russian, imininingwane eminingi yaqiniswa ngobulima, okubonisa ukuntula ukukhathazeka okukhulu ngokunemba. Lapho uDonald Trump ephakamisa ukuthi kufanele kudingeke ubufakazi ngaphambi kokukholelwa i-CIA, kwavela indaba engaqinisekiswanga yehlazo locansi lukaTrump kanye nenkohlakalo.

Emqondweni wami, lezi zenzakalo ezingenhla zisikisela isifiso sokufa, ukuthambekela ekubulaweni okuthile. Akumele kufaniswe nokumane uphikisane noDonald Trump, noma kunjalo. Ngicabanga ukuthi ukuzimisela kwabezindaba ukunikeza uTrump izigidigidi zamaRandi ze-airtime yamahhala futhi, ngenxa yalokho, i-White House, kanye nokwesekwa okungenzeka komqondisi we-FBI ngoTrump kuvela ekuthambekeleni okufanayo. Kodwa i-Deep State yayizohlasela umama wayo uma ephikisana nokukhethwa kwesitha, njengeRussia, kanye nokuthengiswa kwezikhali kanye nokubusa umhlaba wonke. Kwenze lokho ngokuzifaka engozini. Ukwehluleka ukwenza lokho ngokubeka ikusasa lethu engozini.

Abantu abanengi emhlabeni jikelele bathuswe yisikhundla sikamongameli Trump. Babona abasekeli bempi, abamelene nemvelo, abamelene nokuvota, abazonda abantu bokufika, abacwasa ngokwebala, abanezintshisekelo zebhizinisi ezonakalisayo, futhi abanaphutha. Imithombo yezindaba yaseRussia igxekwa ngokuhalalisela uTrump, sengathi abezindaba baseBrithani bebengeke bajabulele uHillary Clinton. Kungase kube nezinzuzo zokungathandwa kukaTrump. Izisekelo zamasosha ase-U.S. emhlabeni wonke zidala ukucasuka nobutha futhi zibhebhethekisa izimpi. Uma besingawavala sizovikeleka kakhudlwana futhi songe izigidigidi zamarandi kanye nesiqephu somoya wethu. Enye indlela yokuwavala kungase kube ukukhomba abanikazi bawo ukuthi bamele ukuthobela uTrump kanye nobungozi bangempela bokwenziwa amajele okuhlushwa ayimfihlo.

Umhlaba udinga ukubona ukweseka kwethu ukumelana okunjalo. Kudingeka ukubona ukwesekwa kwethu kwezingxoxo neRussia kanye nokuncishiswa kwezikhali zenuzi. Kudingeka ukubona ukumelana kwethu nobandlululo nothando lwethu nokwamukela ababaleki nabangaphandle. Kudingeka sakhe, futhi abantu bakha, ukunyakaza okuhlangene emazingeni wendawo, wesifunda, kanye nasemhlabeni jikelele ukuvikela amalungelo ethu sonke: abokufika, ababaleki, abancane, abesifazane, izingane, amaSulumane, izitabane, izimpilo zabantu abamnyama, amaLatinos, wonke umuntu. , wonke umuntu. Kodwa ukuthi wonke umuntu kufanele ahluke kakhulu kuwo wonke umuntu kusukela ku-4% wesintu lokho ngokuvamile okushoyo, i-4% engaphakathi kwemingcele (noma mhlawumbe izindonga) zase-United States. U-Hillary Clinton utshele ikamelo eligcwele abasebenzi basebhange bakwaGoldman Sachs ukuthi ukudala indawo engasenampukane eSyria kuzodinga ukubulala inqwaba yabantu baseSyria. Futhi utshele umphakathi ukuthi ufuna ukwakha leyo ndawo engabikho impukane. Futhi ukube bekumenyezelwe ukuthi udle umhlanganiso okhethweni, ngingakuqinisekisa ukuthi akekho obezobe ehla enyuka emgwaqeni wami ememeza ethi “Uthando Ungabi Nenzondo.” Ngakho-ke, ngikhathazekile ngokuthi nalabo abazisa umusa kwabanye bayakwazisa kakhulu ku-4% wesintu e-United States kodwa hhayi kakhulu kwamanye ama-96%, noma bayakwazisa kuphela njengoba kuqondiswe yilabo abanenzondo encane yezombangazwe ezimbili ezinkulu. amaqembu. Akuyona indlela esizophumelela ngayo.

Sibe nempumelelo, kunjalo. Ukubamba impi e-Iran, kaninginingi. Lezo impumelelo. Ukumisa ukuqhuma kwamabhomu eSyria ngo-2013. Lokho kwaba yimpumelelo enkulu. Kwakungaphelele, kunjalo. Izinyathelo ezinhle azizange zithathele ezingezinhle. Kodwa kwabonisa amandla ethu. Futhi ngokuthi “yethu” ngiqonde thina emhlabeni wonke abenza lokho, okuhlanganisa kakhulu nomphakathi waseBrithani owanxenxa iphalamende lawo ukuba livotele cha. KuCongress, ukungabaza ukuvotela impi enkulu ebonakalayo eSyria, ngokungafani nokunyuka okunwabuzelayo nokuphuma ngaphandle, kwakuqhutshwa ngokusobala ukwesaba ukuvotela "enye i-Iraq." Lokho kwaba umphumela weminyaka eyishumi yezishoshovu zokulwa nempi yase-Iraq. Kepha impi yase-Iraq iyaqhubeka, futhi asiboniswa okuningi ngabesilisa, abesifazane nezingane abashonile eMosul ababulawa amabutho ase-Iraq nase-US. Siboniswa labo ababulawa yi-ISIS noma i-Assad. Ngakho-ke, kufanele sifune ngenkuthalo izindaba esizidingayo.

UMongameli uTrump waya ku-CIA ngoSuku 1 futhi wathi i-US bekufanele yebe uwoyela wase-Iraq futhi ingase ibe nelinye ithuba lokwenza kanjalo. Abagxeki abahle benkululeko bathi lokhu akunangqondo ngoba i-US manje isilwa e-Iraq ngasohlangothini lwe-Iraq, hhayi ngokumelene nayo. Kodwa ingabe abantu base-Iraqi baye bahlolwa ngalelo phuzu? Ngabe lokho akubanga khona iminyaka engaphezu kweshumi? Ingabe impi eqhubekayo yenza kuzuze i-Iraq kanye nesifunda? Sicabanga ukuthi iNtshonalanga ye-Asia inodlame ngokwemvelo, kodwa ngaphandle kwe-Israel ayenzi izikhali. Izwe laseMelika lihamba phambili ngokuphakela izikhali eMiddle East futhi liqopha umlando kulo ngaphansi kuka-Obama. Ezinye izikhali eziningi emhlabeni zivela e-U.S. nakwamanye amazwe amahlanu. Azikho izimpi ezisezindaweni ezenza izikhali.

Khumbula ukuthi kwakuyinkampani yaseManassas eyahlinzeka uSaddam Hussein ngezinto ze-Anthrax. Khumbula ukuthi i-US yathethelela ukuhlinzwa okwabulala abantu bakhe abangaphezu kwesigidi ngesitatimende sokuthi ubulale abantu bakhe - ngokuvamile kuthathwa njengecala elibi kakhulu kunokubulala abantu bomunye umuntu. Futhi manje uhulumeni wase-Iraqi ubulala abantu bakhe futhi sitshelwa ukuthi esikhundleni salokho ukhulula amadolobha - kanye namaqhawe akhululayo ukuba abaleke ayosiza ukuketula uhulumeni waseSyria. Khumbula ngo-2003 lapho igumbi eligcwele ama-hacks ezinkampani zase-US lakha imithetho emisha ye-Iraq futhi ama-Iraqis abonakala engabongi? Phakathi nesonto eledlule eWashington, D.C., ngicabanga ukuthi abantu abaningi baye bawuthola umuzwa wokuthi bazizwa kanjani. AmaSiriya nawo angazizwa ngendlela efanayo.

Kepha uTrump uthi uphikisana nempi futhi ulwela impi. Sizokwenzani ngalokho? Hhayi-ke, uthi usebenzela imali eyengeziwe yezempi, futhi lokho kuholela ezimpini eziningi. Uthe wayemelene ne-NATO waze wathola ukuphikiswa okuncane. Uthe wayemelene ne-F-35 kwaze kwaba amasosha kanye no-Lockheed Martin aba nengxoxo naye. Ngakho-ke, ukuphikisana kwempi kufanele kube ukuhleleka kosuku, okuhlanganisa ukuqeda izimpi ezimbalwa zamanje, ukukhipha amasosha emazweni amaningi, nokuvala izisekelo. Kepha akubona kuphela abantu base-United States abahlaselwa ezinye izinhlobo zezinkinga, kodwa izimpi ziye zaba yimfihlo. Bakhishwe ngaphandle. Zenziwe ezizimele. Bakhokhelwa emoyeni ngaphezu komhlaba. Lokho kusho ukufa okuningi, hhayi okuncane. Kodwa kusho ukuncipha ukufa kohlobo esitshelwa ngalo nesitshelwa ukuthi silukhathalele. Amaphephandaba ase-US asazokutshela ukuthi iMpi Yombango yase-US kube yimpi yase-US ebulala kakhulu, njengokuthi aboMdabu baseMelika kanye namaPhilippines namaVietnam nama-Iraqis nabo bonke abanye abantu abayena umuntu.

Ingozi yempi yenuzi ikhula ngaso sonke isikhathi ukuthi singawunciphisi umhlaba wezikhali zenuzi. Ngisho nalokho okubizwa ngokuthi umphakathi wezobunhloli ngokuvamile umbono wesikhathi esizayo oshicilelwe muva nje ubikezela ukusetshenziswa kwama-nukes. Impi yenuzi akuyona into engagxekwa uma iqale ngokuthi ibiza imali eningi noma ilimaza umuntu onozwelo noma abantu benqunu bengakhombisi ukubonga. Kufanele kumiswe kusenesikhathi.

Ukuvimbela impi akuyona into ongayenza ngendlela yendawo kuphela. Mhlawumbe singakwazi ukumisa wonke amapayipi ngokusebenzisa izishoshovu ezingekho egcekeni lami ezenziwa abantu ngokuvamile abathanda ukungcoliswa futhi bakhethe ukungakholelwa ekuguquguqukeni kwesimo sezulu. Asikwazi ukuqeda impi ngaleyo ndlela. Kudinga umcabango ongaqondakali. Kudinga ukunakekela ngomunye umuntu ngaphandle kwakho. Kudinga lokho okubizwa ngokuthi "ubuntu" abangaba izisulu ngokuthola abantu abavela ezweni ngalinye okuhlosiwe bangene kumafilimu aseHollywood, noma ukuqaphela ukuthi bonke abantu bangabantu noma ngabe benziwe abantu noma cha. Intuthuko emangalisayo ngokwayo futhi into okufanele yakhelwe phezu kwayo ukwesekwa okukhulayo kwababaleki kanye nabokufika okubonakale emizamweni yezikhumulo zezindiza izolo. Kuthiwani uma abantu base-United States bebezothuthukisa unembeza nokuqonda ukuze bangagcini nje ngokuvikela ababaleki abavela ezizweni uhulumeni wase-US ebeziqhumisa ngamabhomu, kodwa futhi nokufuna ukuyeka ukuziqhumisa ngamabhomu?

Kodwa ukucabanga ukuthi ukuqeda ukwenziwa kwempi nokulungiselela impi akukhona kuthakazelo yawo wonke umuntu kungaba kungenangqondo. Ayikho into eyehlisa isiko lethu ngaphezu kwempi. Kuwukuziphatha okubi nokubi kakhulu abantu abazimisele ukukwenza ngonembeza. Ivumela ukubulala, futhi abalandeli bayo babuza ngokunengqondo ukuthi kungani bengakwazi ukuhlukumeza uma ukubulala kwamukelekile. Okuwukuphela kwembangi esondelene neMpi ukucekelwa phansi kwemvelo, futhi impi iyimbangela ehamba phambili yokucekelwa phansi kwemvelo. Abangu-400,000 noma ngaphezulu abangcwatshwe e-Arlington National Cemetery babukeka njengenani elikhulu, umugqa ngemva komugqa. Kodwa impi ibulala izigidi. Futhi ilimaza abaningi ngaphezu kokubabulala. Futhi ibulala amabutho acebile ngokuyinhloko ngokuzibulala. Futhi kuhlukumeza abaningi ngaphezu kokulimaza. Ibhebhethekisa izifo. Icekela phansi ingqalasizinda. Ibhubhisa inhlabathi nezilwandle. Kwenza umonakalo ngokuhlolwa kwezikhali ukuze kuncintisane nalokho ekwenzayo empini - kungabali ukuhlolwa kwezikhali njengesisusa sezimpi kwesinye isikhathi. Isifundisa ukuthi udlame luyazixazulula izinkinga. Iletha udlame emiphakathini lapho iqhutshwa khona nakulawo mazwe akude ayihlaselayo. Lokhu ikwenza ngokusebenzisa isiko kanye ngqo. Izingxoxo zendlela yokunciphisa udlame ngokubuya omakadebona ngandlela thize kubonakale sengathi azifiki ekukhetheni ukuyeka ukukhiqiza omakadebona abaningi.

Ngibone ividiyo yezinsuku eziyi-10 ezedlule e-DC yesishoshovu sishaya umuntu omhlophe ebusweni. Umqondo wokuthi unganqoba ubufascism ngokushaya ama-fascists uyahlanya njengomqondo wokuthi ungamisa ubuphekula ngokusabisa abantu. Ngabe sengibona umdwebo ezinkundleni zokuxhumana onesithombe sesidlakela esivela ku-movie ye-Star Wars kanye nombuzo othi: "Ingabe Kulungile ukushaya i-Sith?" Lokhu kwaveza uhleko olukhulu. Kodwa akukuhle ngempela ukuthi abantu bacabange ukuthi umhlaba wangempela ufane namamuvi lapho ukuhlukunyezwa kusebenza khona futhi ukubulala kwenza abantu bajabule futhi ukuqhuma izinto ezinkulu kuxazulula izinkinga. Ngiqonde ukuthi, bukela lezo zinto uma ukwazi ukuzihlukanisa neqiniso, njengoba nje kufanele ubukele i-basketball uma ungakwazi ukwenqaba ukuphatha i-Pentagon njengeqembu lezemidlalo, futhi uphuze utshwala uma ukwazi ukukwenza ngokusesilinganisweni. Futhi uma i-MSNBC yethula imicimbi yamazwe ngamazwe sengathi ifilimu ye-Star Wars, qiniseka ukuthi wazi kangcono.

Amalungiselelo empi nempi asibeka engozini. Abasenzi siphephe. Baholela empini, hhayi kude nayo. Ukukhula kwe-anti-U.S. amaphekula kunokuba amaphekula amelene namaDashi noma ama-Canadian noma ama-anti-Japanese ayengahlangene nhlobo nenkululeko yomphakathi e-United States. Akekho osabisa ngokuthatha uhulumeni wase-U.S. ukuze anciphise inkululeko yethu. Kunalokho, inkululeko yethu iyancipha egameni lazo zonke izimpi zenkululeko. Yini okwakuzodingeka iCanada yenze ukuze ikhiqize amaqembu amelene namaCanada esikalini sase-U.S.? Umkhondo ungatholwa mhlawumbe esitatimendeni esenziwe, ngokwazi kwami, wonke umuntu omelene ne-U.S. amaphekula angaphandle owenze noma yisiphi isitatimende, okungukuthi ukuhlasela kuyimbangela yokufudumala kwe-US kwamanye amazwe abantu. Ukwazi lokho iCanada okufanele yenze kufanele kusazise ngalokho i-U.S. engayeka ukuyenza uma ikhetha ukuphuma emjikelezweni ononya ovumela udlame olwengeziwe ukuze kuliwe nokubuya kodlame lwamanje.

Uma sikhuluma ngokuwohloka kwenkululeko, sinamaqembu afana ne-ACLU ne-CAIR amelana nalezo zimpawu ngaphandle kokumelana nesifo sokulwa nempi. Eqinisweni, womabili lawa maqembu kule nyanga edlule akhiphe ama-imeyili okuthola imali ngokusayinwa kukababa wenkanyezi yegolide waseCharlottesville owathi impi yase-Iraq yayingenhloso yokusekela uMthethosivivinywa Wamalungelo. Lokho akuwona nje amanga, kodwa okuphambene neqiniso, futhi okuphambene nomsebenzi wokulondoloza inkululeko. Ukuphikisana nempi kufanele kube yinto ehamba phambili yamaqembu anentshisekelo kumalungelo abantu.

Impi ibaphuca labo abatshala imali kuyo. Lokho kunzima kakhulu ukukubona, mhlawumbe ikakhulukazi kule ngxenye ye-U.S., lapho ongeke ukwazi ukukhafula ngaphandle kokushaya usonkontileka wezempi. Kodwa izifundo zisobala ukuthi amadola afanayo afakwa ezimbonini ezinokuthula noma angakaze akhokhiswe intela kwasekuqaleni azokhiqiza imisebenzi eyengeziwe. Ngakho-ke, imisebenzi yezempi ingokoqobo, futhi uguquko olulungile luzonakekela wonke umuntu onalo, kodwa futhi luyinkungu. Ukushintshela emnothweni onokuthula kufanele kube yinto ehamba phambili kuwo wonke umuntu onomsebenzi wezempi. Kufanele futhi kube yinto ehamba phambili yawo wonke umuntu ongathanda ukubona uxhaso lwezimali zokuqeqeshwa kwabasebenzi, ezezikole, izitimela, amandla aqhubekayo, amapaki, nganoma yini ewusizo emhlabeni.

I-United States ingase izenze izwe elithandwa kakhulu emhlabeni ngokunikeza usizo ingxenye encane yaleyo eyisebenzisayo manje ekubhekaneni nomhlaba wonke ngezikhali. I-United States ayinabo abangani noma abangani. Ihlola bonke abanye ohulumeni. Ifaka izindlela zokubangela izinhlekelele engqalasizinda yabalingani uma kwenzeka bephenduka izitha. Futhi kungani bengakwenzi?

Ngengxenyana yalokho okuchithwa yi-US kwezempi, singaqeda indlala nezifo ezihlukahlukene emhlabeni, singaba nemfundo esezingeni eliphezulu kusukela esikoleni sangaphambi kwesikole kuya ekolishi, amandla aqhubekayo, ezolimo eziqhubekayo, izitimela ezikuyisa ezweni lonke ngokushesha I-Fox News ishintsha isikhundla sayo ku-Julian Assange - ngeke ngibhale uhlu lwezokunakekelwa kwezempilo ngoba i-US isivele ichitha okungaphezulu kakhulu kwalokho edinga ukukwenza kulokho, imane ichithekile ezinkampanini zomshwalense - kodwa singaba nakho konke okuhle kakhulu, empeleni singakwazi ukwenza umhlaba wonke mkhulu, hhayi futhi kodwa okokuqala. Okuwukuphela kobunzima kungaba ukuthi yini okufanele siyenze ngayo yonke imali esele kanye nezimo zengqondo zokuthanda izinto ezibonakalayo ezicabanga ukuthi kudingeka senze okuthile ngayo.

Ngakho-ke uma ufuna ikolishi lamahhala esikhundleni sesikweletu sabafundi, uma ufuna ukugwema i-apocalypse yenuzi, uma ufuna ilungelo lokuqulwa kwecala, uma ungathanda ukuvakashela amanye amazwe futhi uthandwe kunokuba ucasuke, khona-ke unayo intshisekelo - unezinto eziningi ozithakaselayo - ekuqedeni impi. Ukuqeda impi kufanele kube yinto ehamba phambili ekunyakazeni okuningi, futhi kufanele kube yingxenye ebalulekile yokunyakaza ukuvikela ababaleki bempi, ukunciphisa ukucwasa okubangelwa impi futhi okubhebhezela impi, nokumisa impi yamaphoyisa. Kunalokho sinenqwaba yamadlelandawonye azo zonke izinto eziqhubekayo ngaphandle kokuthula.

Umsebenzi wethu wokwenza lawo madlelandawonye abe banzi, wokuphakamisa ukuthi izimpilo zaseLibya nezimpilo zaseYemeni kanye nezimpilo zasePhilippines zibalulekile, mhlawumbe uthuthukiswa ngokudweba isithombe sokuthi singafika kuphi. Umbono esikuwo World Beyond War bashicilele njenge I-Global Security System: I-Alternative to War akukhona nje ukuphikiswa. Uma usuzimisele ukubhekana nokugula okunezigidigidi zamadola abaningi asebekujwayele, kuvuleke zonke izinhlobo zamathuba okubusa komthetho, usizo, idiplomacy, ubulungiswa obubuyisela emuva, ukubambisana, ukuxazulula izingxabano, kanye ukuthi yini okufanele yenziwe ngamanye alawo matriliyoni amadola ngonyaka.

Kwesinye isikhathi abantu bayathukuthela ngokuqoqwa kwengcebo ngosozigidigidi, futhi ngifisa ngempela ukuthi abantu abengeziwe bangakwenza. Kepha inqwaba yabo yegolide ayilutho uma iqhathaniswa nalokho elahlelwa empini unyaka nonyaka: cishe ama- $ 2 trillion emhlabeni jikelele, cishe ama- $ 1 trillion e-U.S. kuphela, amadola ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezimbalwa ngokucekelwa phansi yimpi, kanye nezigidigidi ezengeziwe emathubeni alahlekile ngenxa yokungafaki. lezo zimali ukuze zisetshenziswe kangcono. Uma noma ubani eke ekutshela ukuthi ayikho imali eyanele yokuthile, unephutha noma uqamba amanga, kodwa lokho kuyizindaba ezingamanga.

Yiqiniso, inkinga enkulu ukuthi abantu abaningi e-United States abafuni impi eningi ngangokunokwenzeka abafuni ukuqeda yonke impi. Bafuna ukuqeda izimpi ezimbi kodwa bagcine izimpi ezinhle, okuyindinganiso engasetshenziswa kwezinye izinto ezesabekayo njengokudlwengula, ukuhlukunyezwa kwezingane, ukucwasa ngokobuhlanga, ubugqila, noma izinto ezesabekayo ezidlule ezake zaphathwa njengezemvelo nezingenakugwemeka, njengokuqunjelwa noma ukuqulwa kwecala. ngokuhlukunyezwa noma ukushaywa. Empeleni azikho izimpi ezinhle, yingakho izincwadi zami zigxile eMpini Yezwe II, iMpi Yombango, nezinye ezizenza izimpi ezinhle. Futhi ngizokwenza isibikezelo esiqinile sokuthi ngeke ngithole imibuzo emi-3 edlule kinina bafana ngaphandle koyedwa wabo mayelana neMpi Yezwe II. Kodwa akudingeki uvumelane nokuqeda yonke impi ukuze uvumelane nokuthatha izinyathelo ezinhle ezizogcina ziqede impi. Ungakholelwa ekuvikelweni kwezempi futhi uqede izikhali ezingenanhloso yokuzivikela, ulinganise amasosha ase-US entweni efana nobukhulu bamanye amazwe'. Lokho kungaqalisa umjaho wezikhali ohlanekezelwe. Ukwehliswa kwezempi okwengeziwe kuzolandela kalula.

Kulo nyaka odlule ngibhale incwadi ethi Impi Akukaze Imane ephikisa izimangalo zethiyori yempi nje. Indlela ye-Just War Theory yempi elungile iwela ezigabeni ezintathu: okungenakwenzeka, okungenakulinganiswa, kanye ne-amoral. Kuyimfundiso yenkathi ephakathi iSonto LamaKatolika eliyenqabayo kodwa amanyuvesi ase-U.S. agxile ekujuleni kokuziphendukela kwemvelo noma isayensi yesimo sezulu.

Kodwa kukhona ububi emhlabeni! umuntu uzothi. Kufanele sisebenzise izenzo ezimbi kakhulu ezisabalalisa imijikelezo yobubi engapheli ukuze sibhekane nobubi obusemhlabeni. Ngiyasola ukuthi ngingathola amaKrestu angaphezu kwezigidi eziyikhulu e-United States angawazondi amadoda abethela uJesu esiphambanweni, kodwa anenzondo futhi angacasuka kakhulu ngomqondo wokuthethelela u-Adolf Hitler noma i-ISIS. Lapho uJohn Kerry ethi uBashar al Assad unguHitler, ingabe lokho kuyakusiza uzizwe uthethelela u-Assad? Lapho uHillary Clinton ethi uVladimir Putin unguHitler, ingabe lokho kuyakusiza ukuthi uhlobane noPutin njengomuntu? Uma i-ISIS isika indoda emhlophe ekhuluma isiNgisi ngommese uqhoqhoqho, ingabe isiko lakho lilindele ukuba uxolelwe noma impindiselo?

Ukuthethelela kungasiza ngani? Awu, angazi. Angiyena umKristu. Nina ninjalo. Kodwa ngisola ukuthi kungase kuvumele ukucabanga okucacile. Abantu baqhubeka nokuthatha umhlalaphansi embuthweni wamasosha ase-US futhi besho ukuthi izimpi azinanzuzo. Njalo impi ikhiqiza amaqembu amaphekula engeziwe. Konke ukuhlaselwa kwabo kusabalalisa imibono yabo enobudlova kakhulu. Ngesinye isikhathi, ukukhetha ukwenza lokho okwenza izinto zibe zimbi nakakhulu futhi ungenzi lutho ziqala ukubonakala sengathi kungase kungabi ukuphela kwezinketho ezimbili. Ukwehliswa kwezikhali, unswinyo oluqondiwe, ukumisa ukwesekwa, ukusebenzisa idiplomacy, kanye nokuhlinzeka ngosizo kuqala ukugxila njengezinketho ebezikhona ngaso sonke isikhathi.

Ekuthuthukiseni lo mbono, World Beyond War yakha inhlangano yomhlaba wonke engenazo ubudlova egxile kwezemfundo nobushoshovu. Amaphepha okubhalisa enginawo lapha afana nalawo aku-WorldBeyondWar.org, isitatimende esisayinwe abantu emazweni angu-147 futhi sibala. Ungakha a World Beyond War isahluko. Sinezinto zemicimbi kuwebhusayithi: izincwadi, amafilimu, ama-powerpoints, izikhulumi, imisebenzi. Sinomkhankaso ogxile ekwehleni amadola omphakathi. Ingabe u-Arlington unezimali zempesheni zikahulumeni ezitshalwe kubadayisi bezikhali? Kungenzeka ukuyithola futhi uyishintshe. Ukuthatha umhlalaphansi kothisha akufanele kuncike ekuthuthukeni kwebhizinisi lempi. Sinomunye umkhankaso ogxile ekuvaleni izisekelo, ukusebenza namaqembu emhlabeni wonke aphikisana namazwe angaphandle, okusho ukuthi i-U.S., izisekelo ezindaweni zabo. Imeya yedolobha lase-Okinawa lapho i-U.S. ifuna isizinda esisha izobe ikhuluma e-DC kulobu busuku bangoLwesibili - khuluma nami kamuva uma ufuna ukuya. Futhi sinomunye umkhankaso ogxile ekuqhubekiseleni phambili ukusebenza komthetho. Ungasisiza ngalokhu noma usinike eminye imibono. Iwebhusayithi yethu iphikisana nempi, futhi ungayisebenzisa ukufundisa abanye.

Iwebhusayithi yethu i-WorldBeyondWar.org nayo inekhalenda lemicimbi ezayo emhlabeni wonke, kodwa ukuba lapha ngizoqala ngokujoyina i-Code Pink futhi ngiphazamise ukulalelwa kwe-Congressional ngamanye amazwi eqiniso. NgoMashi kuvulwa umhlangano e-UN eNew York mayelana nesivumelwano esisha sokuvala izikhali zenuzi. Kusukela ekupheleni kuka-March kuya esontweni lokuqala lika-April, sikhuthaza abantu ukuba benze imicimbi yonke indawo. I-April 4 iyiminyaka engu-50 kusukela inkulumo kaDkt King ngokumelene nempi, futhi u-April 6 iminyaka eyi-100 kusukela i-U.S. yangena empini eyayithi izoqeda zonke izimpi. Ngasekupheleni kuka-April kuzoba nemibhikisho yamadlelandawonye e-DC ezodinga ukuthula kwengezwe kuyo. NgoJuni i-United National Antiwar Coalition izoba nengqungquthela yayo eRichmond, Va.

Ngincoma ukuhlela endaweni lapha nasemhlabeni jikelele World Beyond War. Wonke amadolobhana adinga amaholide okuthula nezikhumbuzo nemicimbi ukuze kuliwe nezimpi. Yonke indawo idinga ukuzibophezela endaweni engcwele, emadolobheni aphephile, ukwenqaba ukubambisana nobandlululo olusemthethweni - okuhlanganisa nokuhlaselwa kwabantu abahlala kude ne-United States. Labo bantu bayingxenye yethu futhi. Sekuyimindeni yomakhelwane bethu manje evinjwe ukuthi isivakashe. Bangofakazi bempi abangasifundisa ukuthi singazenzi eziningi zazo. Bangabambisene bethu abangashukumisa iNhlangano Yezizwe kanye nokufudumala nokuthenga izikhali izizwe zomhlaba.

Kusho uShelley

'Futhi lawa mazwi ayobe esekhona
Njengembubhiso yokuduma kwengcindezelo
Ukubetha ngenhliziyo ngayinye nangokwengqondo,
Kuzwiwe futhi - futhi - futhi -
'Vuka njengeNgonyama ngemuva kokulala
Ngenombolo engenakunqotshwa -
Shake izinketho zakho emhlabeni njengamazolo
Obukuwe ubuthongo -
Nibaningi, bayingcosana. '
