Inkazimulo yoSuku lwePearl Harbour ibisamile izolo ngoSuku Lwamalungelo Abantu njengoba isongwa iNgqungquthela Yentando Yeningi kanye nabahlomuli bendondo yeNobel So-Called Peace Prize bekhuluma ngobuntatheli obugunyazwe futhi buxhaswe nguhulumeni wase-US. Imithombo yezindaba yaseMelika ibuswa nguDonald Trump nokuthi uphume kanjani emandleni okwamanje. Konke kuhamba ngokubhukuda ogwini oluqinile lwenkululeko nobuhle. Uma ungamnaki umlisa osemuva kwekhethini. Noma mhlawumbe ibutho elincane lamadoda amancane ngemva kwamakhethini ayinkulungwane. Singaxoxa ngezimbangela nezisusa eziningi zokukhohlisa nokuzikhohlisa. Kwanele ukusho ukuthi uma ubheka, ulalela, noma uhogela umzuzwana nje esimweni sangempela somhlaba, awukwazi ukufulathela, futhi awukwazi ukusichitha isithombe esihle.
Uhulumeni wase-US uzama ukubopha noma ukubulala u-Julian Assange ngecala lobuntatheli, ukuhlomisa iSaudi Arabia ngecala lokubulala abantu, nokuketula uhulumeni waseVenezuela ngecala lokumela abantu baseVenezuela. Izakhamizi zasePearl Harbour zinophethiloli wejethi emanzini azo okuphuza, anempilo impela uma eqhathaniswa nezinganekwane ezisabalele mayelana nomlando wePearl Harbor. Isimo sezulu esibi kakhulu sihlasela amadolobha ase-US nama-sweatshops ezwenikazi. Futhi abantu abahlukahlukene baseMelika bayadedelwa njengoba abahlinzeki bezocansi bezingane bebhekene necala.
Ukukhishwa kwamazwe athile “engqungqutheleni yentando yeningi” kwakungeyona indaba eseceleni. Bekuyinhloso yale ngqungquthela. Futhi amazwe ayengabaliwe awazange akhishwe ngenxa yokwehluleka ukuhlangabezana nezindinganiso zokuziphatha zalabo abamenyiwe noma lowo owenza isimemo. Abamenyiwe kwakungadingeki nokuba babe amazwe, njengoba kwamenywa ngisho nomholi we-US owahluleka ukuketula umbuso waseVenezuela. Kanjalo nabamele i-Israel, i-Iraq, iPakistan, i-DRC, iZambia, i-Angola, iMalaysia, iKenya, futhi - ngokugxekayo - ama-pawns emdlalweni: iTaiwan ne-Ukraine.
Imuphi umdlalo? Umdlalo wokuthengisa izikhali. Bheka uMnyango Wezwe LaseMelika iwebhusayithi kwiNgqungquthela Yentando Yeningi. Phezulu: “'Intando yeningi ayenzeki ngengozi. Kufanele sikuvikele, sikulwele, sikuqinise, sikuvuselele.' -UMongameli uJoseph R. Biden, Omnci.
Akumele nje “uvikele” futhi “ulwe,” kodwa kufanele ukwenze lokho ngokumelene nezinsongo ezithile, futhi uthole iqembu lezigelekeqe elikhulu ekulweni ukuze “ubhekane nezinsongo ezinkulu imibuso yentando yeningi ebhekene nazo namuhla ngezenzo ezihlangene.” Abamele intando yeningi kule ngqungquthela emangalisayo bangochwepheshe bentando yeningi kangangokuthi bangakwazi "ukuvikela intando yeningi namalungelo abantu ekhaya nasemazweni angaphandle." Ingxenye yaphesheya engase ikwenze unwaye ikhanda uma ucabanga ngentando yeningi njengokuhlobene, uyazi, intando yeningi. Ukwenzela izwe lomunye umuntu kanjani? Kodwa gcina ukufunda, nezindikimba zeRussiagate ziyacaca:
"[A] abaholi bombuso bafinyelela ngaphesheya kwemingcele ukubukela phansi intando yeningi - kusukela ekubhekiseni izintatheli nabavikeli bamalungelo abantu ukuze bagxambukele okhethweni."
Uyabona, inkinga akukhona ukuthi i-United States kade yaba khona, empeleni, i-oligarchy. Inkinga akusona isimo sase-US sokubamba okuphezulu ezivumelwaneni eziyisisekelo zamalungelo abantu, umphikisi ophezulu womthetho wamazwe ngamazwe, umhlukumezi ophezulu we-veto e-United Nations, isiboshwa esiphezulu, umbhubhisi ophezulu wemvelo, umdayisi wezikhali ophezulu, umxhasi ophezulu wobushiqela, impi ephezulu. isiqalisi, kanye nomxhasi ophezulu wokuketula umbuso. Inkinga ayikhona ukuthi, esikhundleni sokwenza intando yeningi kwiNhlangano Yezizwe Ezihlangene, uhulumeni wase-US uzama ukwakha inkundla entsha lapho, ngokuhlukile futhi ngisho nangaphezulu kunangaphambili, elingana kakhulu kunawo wonke umuntu. Inkinga akulona ukhetho oluyinhloko olwakhiwe iRussiagate ukuze iphazamiseke. Futhi akukho lutho oluyinkinga ukhetho lwangaphandle lwama-85, sibala nje thina ukwazi futhi ungabhala, ukuthi uhulumeni wase-US uye wagxambukela. Inkinga iRussia. Futhi akukho okuthengisa izikhali njengeRussia - yize iChina ibamba iqhaza.
Okuxakile ngengqungquthela yentando yeningi wukuthi ibingekho intando yeningi ebibonakala. Ngisho ngisho nangokuzenzisa noma ngokusemthethweni. Umphakathi wase-US uvotela lutho, ngisho nokuthi izobanjwa yini izingqungquthela zentando yeningi. Emuva ngeminyaka yawo-1930s iLudlow Amendment yacishe yasinika ilungelo lokuvota ukuthi noma iyiphi impi engase iqalwe, kodwa uMnyango Wezwe wawuvala lowo mzamo ngokuqinile, futhi awuphindanga wabuya.
Uhulumeni wase-US akulona nje uhlelo lokumelela abantu abakhethiwe esikhundleni sentando yeningi, futhi ukhohlakele kakhulu ohluleka ngokuyisisekelo ukumelela, kodwa futhi uqhutshwa isiko eliphikisana nentando yeningi lapho osopolitiki bevame ukuziqhayisa emphakathini ngokushaya indiva imibono yomphakathi. futhi bashayelwa ihlombe ngakho. Uma osherifu noma amajaji engaziphathi kahle, ukugxeka okukhulu kuvame ukuthi akhethiwe. Inguquko edume kakhulu kunemali ehlanzekile noma imithombo yezindaba enobulungiswa wukunqunywa kwemikhawulo yesikhathi esimelene nentando yeningi. Ezombusazwe yigama elingcolile e-United States kangangokuthi ngithole i-imeyili ngesonto eledlule evela eqenjini lezishoshovu lisola elinye lamaqembu amabili ezombusazwe aseMelika "ngokwenza ukhetho lube yipolitiki." (Kwaba khona ukuthi babecabanga ngokuziphatha okuhlukahlukene kokucindezela abavoti, okuvame kakhulu emkhankasweni womhlaba wentando yeningi, lapho owinile kulo lonke ukhetho “engekho kulokhu okungenhla” futhi iqembu elidume kakhulu “kungekhona.”)
Akukhona nje kuphela ukuthi yayingekho intando yeningi yezwe. Akukho futhi okwenzeka ngentando yeningi kule ngqungquthela. Iqembu lezigelekeqe elikhethwe ngesandla alizange livote noma lifinyelele ukuvumelana nganoma yini. Ukubamba iqhaza kwezokuphatha obukuthola ngisho emcimbini we-Occupy Movement bekungabonakali ndawo. Futhi bezingekho izintatheli zezinkampani ezazibakhalela: “SIYINI ISIDINGO SAKHO ESISODWA? SIYINI ISIDINGO SAKHO ESISODWA?" Babenezinhloso ezimbalwa ezingacacile ngokuphelele neziwubuzenzisi kuwebhusayithi - ezikhiqizwe, vele, ngaphandle kwengxenye yentando yeningi eqashwayo noma umashiqela oyedwa elinyazwa kule nqubo.
Okungcono kunengqungquthela yentando yeningi ngabe ukusungula ilungelo lokuvota, ukuxhasa esidlangalaleni imikhankaso yokhetho, ukuqeda ukuhlukunyezwa, ukuqeda i-filibuster, ukuqeda i-Senate, ukubala esidlangalaleni amaphepha okuvota ezindaweni zokuvota, ukudala izindlela zezakhamizi zokubeka inqubomgomo yomphakathi, ukwenza ubugebengu. ukufumbathisa, ukwenqabela ukwenza inzuzo kwezikhulu zikahulumeni ezenzweni zazo zomphakathi, ukuqeda ukudayiswa noma isipho sezikhali kohulumeni bangaphandle, ukuvala izisekelo zamasosha angaphandle, ukuqeda usizo lwangempela lwangaphandle kanye nokubeka phambili ukusekelwa kohulumeni abagcina umthetho, ukuyeka ukuba phambili ekubambeni abantu. amalungelo kanye nezivumelwano zokuhoxiswa kwezikhali, ukujoyina iNkantolo Yamazwe Ngamazwe Obugebengu, ukuqeda i-veto eMkhandlwini Wezokuphepha we-UN, ukuqeda uMkhandlu Wezokuphepha we-UN ngokuvuna i-General Assembly, ukuhambisana nesivumelwano sokungavinjelwa kwezikhali zenuzi, ukujoyina isivumelwano sokuvinjelwa kwezikhali zenuzi. izikhali zenuzi, eqeda unswinyo olungenamthetho nolubulalayo emazweni ambalwa , ukutshala imali ohlelweni lokuguqula amandla anokuthula namandla aluhlaza, ukuvimbela ukusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli, ukuvimbela ukugawulwa kwamahlathi, ukuvimbela ukugcinwa noma ukuhlatshwa kwemfuyo, ukuvimbela ukubulawa kweziboshwa ezingabantu, ukuvimbela ukuboshwa kwabantu abaningi, futhi - kahle - umuntu angahamba. ubusuku bonke, lapho impendulo elula ithi noma yini, ngisho ibhakede elifudumele lamathe, bekuyoba ngcono kunengqungquthela yentando yeningi.
Asethembe ukuthi eyokugcina, futhi masibe nethemba lokuthi lolu suku oludlule lwePearl Harbour Day lungowokugcina futhi. Uhulumeni wase-US wahlela, walungiselela, futhi wavusa impi neJapane iminyaka, futhi wayesempini ngezindlela eziningi kakade, elinde iJapane ukuba idubule isibhamu sokuqala, lapho iJapane ihlasela iPhilippines nePearl Harbor. Okulahlekayo emibuzweni yokuthi ubani owayazi kahle ukuthi nini ezinsukwini ezandulela lokho kuhlasela, nokuthi iyiphi inhlanganisela yokungakwazi ukwenza kahle nokugxeka okwakuvumela ukuba kwenzeke, iqiniso lokuthi izinyathelo ezinkulu zazithathiwe ngokungenakuphikiswa mayelana nempi kodwa azikho ezake zathathwa maqondana nokuthula. .
I-Asia pivot yenkathi ka-Obama-Trump-Biden yaba nesandulela eminyakeni eyandulela i-WWII, njengoba i-United States ne-Japan zakha ubukhona bazo bezempi ePacific. Izwe laseMelika belisiza iChina empini ebhekene neJapan futhi yavimba iJapan ukuthi iyiphuce izinsiza ezibalulekile ngaphambi kokuhlasela kweJapan amasosha ase-US kanye nezindawo zombuso. Ibutho lezempi lase-United States aliyikhululi iJapan ekuziphenduleleni kwezempi yayo, noma okuphambene nalokho, kodwa inganekwane yombukeli ongenacala owashaywa ngokushaqisayo ngaphandle kokuluhlaza ayilona iqiniso njenge inganekwane yempi ukusindisa amaJuda. Izinhlelo zempi zase-US nezixwayiso zokuhlasela kwamaJapane zanyatheliswa emaphephandabeni ase-US naseHawaii ngaphambi kokuhlasela.
Kusukela ngo-December 6, 1941, akukho nhlolovo ethole ukwesekwa komphakathi okuningi kwe-US ngokungena empini. Kodwa uRoosevelt wayesevele esungule uhlaka, wavula iNational Guard, wadala iNavy enkulu olwandle olubili, wahweba ababhubhisi abadala eNgilandi ukuze aqashise izisekelo zawo eCaribbean naseBermuda, anikeze izindiza nabaqeqeshi nabashayeli bezindiza eChina, unswinyo olunzima eJapan, weluleka amasosha ase-US ukuthi impi neJapan iyaqala, futhi wayala ngasese ukuthi kudalwe uhlu lwabo bonke abantu baseJapan nabaseMelika baseMelika e-United States.
Kunendaba ukuthi abantu bayagxumela “kuzo zonke izimpi kodwa eyodwa emlandweni kube yizinhlekelele ezimbi ezimbi kakhulu” kuya “kuzo zonke izimpi emlandweni beziyizinhlekelele ezimbi ezimbi,” futhi benqaba. inkulumo-ze ecasulayo yasePearl Harbor kuyadingeka ukuze lokho kwenzeke.
