UNoam Chomsky uthi uma usebenzisa ku-google igama elithi “unprovoked,” uzothola izigidi zamahithi, njengoba leso bekuyisichasiso esigunyazwe ngokusemthethweni ukuchaza Ukuhlasela kweRussia e-Ukraine. Yonke imithombo yezindaba yahambisana nolimi oludingekayo. Manje, singangeza elinye igama elidingekayo.
“Okungenasisekelo” yisichasiso esidingekayo ukuchaza isexwayiso sakamuva saseRussia mayelana ne kungenzeka "ibhomu elingcolile" lilungiswa e-Ukraine. “Izinsolo ezingenabufakazi” zingafundwa futhi zizwakale ngokuphindaphindiwe. Hhayi-ke, ingabe izinsolo eziningi “azinabufakazi” ngobunjalo bazo - izinsolo zize zifakazelwe? Pho kungani igama elithi “akunabufakazi” liphindaphindwa njalo cishe kuyo yonke imithombo yezindaba?
UChomsky uthi isizathu “sokungacasuli” isichazamazwi esitholakala yonke indawo yingoba okuphambene kuyiqiniso. Ukuhlasela kweRussia kungenzeka kube ngokungemthetho futhi kunengeka, kepha kwacasulwa kakhulu yi-US kanye ne-NATO, ezungeze iRussia ngamabutho anobutha, imicibisholo yenuzi nemicibisholo elwa ne-ballistic.
Ngakho Kuthiwani “Ngezinsolo ZaseRussia Ezingenabufakazi?”
Sitshelwa ukuthi asisoze sakholelwa noma yini eshiwo amaRussia. Ukuthi kuyinhlekisa ukucabanga ukuthi i-US ne-NATO bayoke bafake ifulegi lamanga - baqhumise ibhomu lemisebe "engcolile" futhi balisole eRussia. Ungakhathali ukuthi benze yona kanye le nto ngokuhlaselwa kwezikhali zamakhemikhali “zefulegi lamanga” eSyria – bephindelela – futhi bebehlale begxeka uMengameli waseSyria u-Assad, abebefuna ukumketula.
AmaRussia athi amanye amabutho e-Ukraine anezindlela kanye nesisusa sokwakha “ibhomu elingcolile,” nokuthi may sebenza kokukodwa, noma ucabange ukwenza kanjalo. Babeka isimo lapho i-Ukraine kanye/noma i-US izoqhumisa "ibhomu elingcolile" bese bethi amaRussia asebenzise isikhali senuzi esihlakaniphile. Lokhu kungathusa umhlaba futhi kuhlinzeke ngekhava ekungeneleleni kwezempi okuqondile kwe-US/NATO e-Ukraine, noma mhlawumbe nokuhlasela kwenuzi kwe-US ngokumelene neRussia.
Ukube BengingamaRussia, Bengizokhathazeka Kakhulu
Bengizoya kubo bonke abalwayo ngibazise ukuthi ngiyabazi. Bengizoya eNhlanganweni Yezizwe. Bengizoya kubantu bomhlaba. Ngangibatshela ukuthi baqaphele ifulege elingamanga kanye nokwanda okuyingozi kwempi e-Ukraine. Ngingathemba ukuvimba icebo elibi kangaka ngaphambi kokuthi liqale.
Ngingalindela ukuhlekwa usulu ngezinsolo zami ezihlekisayo futhi “ezingenabufakazi,” futhi ngisolwe ngokuhlela ifulege lamanga eliyingozi kangaka mina. Kodwa ngabe ngiwuxwayisile umhlaba.
Ukuthi lokhu bekuwusongo lwangempela noma ukukhathazeka kwabantu baseRussia - okungenzeka ukuthi kusekelwe olwazini oluqoqwe yizinsizakalo zabo zezobunhloli - asinandlela yokwazi. Kodwa okuthakazelisa kakhulu ukuthi abaseRussia baxwayisa umhlaba ngalesi simo esingase sibe khona. Baze badlulela phambili. Banxuse inhlangano yamazwe ngamazwe yokunqanyulwa kwezikhali zenuzi ukuthi inake futhi ibhikishele ukusetshenziswa kwezikhali zenuzi.
Ingabe siyanaka?
Abanye bathi lesi yisenzo sokuzenzisa okunzima ngasohlangothini lobuholi baseRussia. Angithi uPutin oseke wasongela kaningi ukuthi uzosebenzisa izikhali zenuzi e-Ukraine? Eqinisweni cha - noma cha. Abaholi abaphezulu baseRussia bakhulume ngokubonakala okuphezulu, izinkundla zamazwe ngamazwe ukusho ukuthi abananhloso yokusebenzisa izikhali zenuzi e-Ukraine, ukuthi asikho isidingo esinjalo futhi akukho nhloso yezempi ehambisana nokwenza lokho.
UMongameli uPutin usho okufanayo. UPutin ukhumbuze umhlaba izikhathi eziningi, nokho, ngesiRashiya esisemthethweni Nuclear Ukuma - uma iRussia izwa usongo olukhona oluvela emabuthweni ezempi avamile ase-US/NATO, inelungelo lokuphendula ngezikhali zenuzi ezinobuhlakani. Lokho kuyiqiniso eliqinile nesixwayiso esifike ngesikhathi.
Nokho, yimithombo yezindaba yasentshonalanga eye yandisa futhi yaphindaphinda le “songo” ngokuphindaphindiwe. UPutin akakaze asongele ukusebenzisa izikhali zenuzi e-Ukraine.
Njengoba kunenkulumo-ze engaka mayelana “nokungakhathali kukaPutin nezinsongo zobugebengu” lapho-ke, akumangazi ukuthi amaRussia angakhathazeka ngomsebenzi “wefulegi lamanga” lase-US/Ukraine “ngebhomu elingcolile” ukusola iRussia ngokuqhumisa isikhali senuzi e-Ukraine.
Ingabe siyanaka manje?
Kuthiwani Ngezinsongo Zenuzi zase-US?
I-US inamabhomu enuzi aselungile eJalimane, eNetherlands, eBelgium, e-Italy naseTurkey. I-US – ngaphansi kukaMongameli uGeorge W. Bush – yaphuma ngokuhlanganyela I-Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty futhi yaqhubeka nokusungula izinhlelo ze-ABM eduze nemingcele yaseRussia e-Poland nase-Romania. Lezi zinhlelo azigcini nje ngokuzivikela, njengoba kushiwo. Bayisihlangu kuqhinga lenkemba nehawu Lokushaywa Kokuqala. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izinhlelo ze-ABM zingaguqulwa ngokushesha ukuze ziqalise imicibisholo yenuzi ehlaselayo.
I-United States - ngaphansi kukaMongameli uDonald Trump - yaphuma ngaphandle kwesivumelwano se-Intermediate Nuclear Forces (INF) esasiqede imicibisholo yenuzi ephakathi eYurophu. Ngokusobala, i-US ifuna ukuzuza isandla futhi yandise usongo lwayo lokuhlasela kwenyukliya eRussia.
Yini amaRussia okwakufanele ayicabange futhi sacabanga ukuthi azosabela kanjani?
Eqinisweni, isimo sezempi sase-US esinolaka sibheke eRussia - okuhlanganisa nosongo oluhlala lukhona lokuhlasela kwenyukliya - kuphansi kakhulu empini yase-Ukraine. Impi yase-Ukraine ibingeke yenzeke ngaphandle kokuzungeza i-US/NATO yaseRussia enamabutho anobutha, okuhlanganisa nezikhali zenuzi.
I-US Nuclear Threat Iphinde Yandiswa Ukukhishwa Kwakamuva kukaMongameli uBiden Kwesibuyekezo Sakhe (kanye nePentagon) seNuclear Posture.
Ngenkathi engenela isikhundla sokuba ngumongameli, uBiden waveza ukuthi angase athathe inqubomgomo Yokungasebenzisi Kokuqala - isethembiso sokuthi i-US ngeke ibe ngeyokuqala ukusebenzisa izikhali zenuzi. Kodwa, maye, lokhu kwakungeke kube njalo.
Ukubuyekezwa kwe-Nuclear Posture kaMongameli uBiden kugcina inketho yase-US yokuba ngowokuqala ukushaya ngezikhali zenuzi. Ngokungafani nesimo senuzi saseRussia, esigcina leli lungelo kuphela lapho iRussia ibona usongo lwezempi olukhona, i-US. Izinketho ze-First Strike zihlanganisa ukuvikela abalingani bayo ngisho nabangebona abambisene nabo.
Ngamanye amazwi, noma kuphi nanoma nini.
I-Biden's Nuclear Posture Review iphinde igcine igunya likaMongameli wase-United States yedwa lokwethula impi yenuzi, ngaphandle kwamasheke noma ibhalansi. Futhi ibophezela i-US ukuthi ichithe izigidigidi zamaRandi ekwenzeni "isimanjemanje" se-nuclear triad yayo, okuhlanganisa nokuthuthukisa isizukulwane esisha sezikhali zenuzi.
Lokhu ukwephulwa okukhulu kwe-Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) ka-1970, lapho i-US, i-USSR (manje eyi-Russia), i-China, i-France kanye ne-UK zonke zisayine.
Ukuqonda Ukukhathazeka Okusemthethweni KwaseRussia Ngezwe Lalo Lasekhaya
Abanye abahleli basebukhosini base-US bakhuluma ngokukhululekile mayelana nokuketula uhulumeni waseRussia nokuhlukanisa lelo zwe elikhulu libe yizicucu ezincane, okuvumela ukungena kwe-US kanye nokufinyelela ezinqolobaneni eziningi zemithombo yezimbiwa ezinothile. Lokhu yi-US imperialism ku-21st Ikhulu.
Lona umongo wempi yase-Ukraine, okuyinto - phakathi kwezinye izinto - ngokusobala impi ye-proxy yase-US ngokumelene neRussia.
Izinhlangano zokuthula emhlabeni wonke nokuncishiswa kwezikhali - okuhlanganisa ne-US - zingenza kahle ngokuthatha ukukhathazeka kweRussia ngokungathi sína, okuhlanganisa nesexwayiso sayo mayelana "nefulegi lamanga" lenuzi elingaba khona e-Ukraine. Kufanele samukele ikhwelo leRussia mayelana nenhlangano yokuqeda izikhali zenuzi ukuthi ilalele futhi iqaphe.
Ukuma KweRussia KumaNukes Kusikisela Ekuzimiseleni Ukuthula ne-Ukraine
Kunenani elikhulayo lezinkomba zokuvuleleka okusha kuzo zonke izinhlangothi ezinhlelweni zamanxusa. Impela sekuyisikhathi sokuqeda le mpi eneshwa, engadingekile futhi eyingozi kakhulu, esongela yonke impucuko yabantu. Bonke abantu abathanda ukuthula kufanele bahlanganyele ndawonye ekubizeni ngokuzwakalayo ukuthi kuqedwe ukulwa nezingxoxo. Inhlangano yokuncishiswa kwezikhali zenuzi, ikakhulukazi, ingacindezela zonke izinhlangothi ukuthi zimemezele ukuthi ngeke zisebenzise izikhali zenuzi, futhi zihlanganyele ezingxoxweni zokwethembeka ukuze kube nokuthula okuhlala njalo.
Futhi singabamba lesi sikhathi ukukhumbuza umhlaba futhi ngokuphuthuma okukhulu kokuqedwa kwazo zonke izikhali zenuzi. Singakwazi ukuphusha zonke izifundazwe ezihlome ngezikhali zenuzi ukuthi zijoyine iSivumelwano Sokuvinjelwa Kwezikhali Zenuzi futhi siqale umzamo ohlangene wokucekela phansi izikhali zenuzi. Ngale ndlela, sithemba ukuthi sizoyiqeda impi yase-Ukraine - maduze nje - ngesikhathi esifanayo sakha umfutho wokuqeda izikhali zenuzi nempi.
