ʻO ka hopena ia o ʻOkakopa 2001. ʻElua mau hoaaloha, Max Elbaum a ʻEheu ʻo Bob, ua iho mai nei.

E hoʻololi ʻia i loko o kekahi mau makahiki e ka ulu pahū o ka Pūnaewele a me ka pōʻai nūhou 24-hola. Eia nō naʻe, ua hōʻike ia i kahi hana mua e hoʻopiha i kahi e ulu ai kahi neʻe maluhia.

All-War-All-The-Time — No Kekahi o makou

Ua pololei mākou ua komo ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i kahi manawa o ke kaua āpau-i nā manawa āpau. He mea paʻakikī paha i ka poʻe i hānau ʻia mai 9/11 e noʻonoʻo i ka nui - a me ka liʻiliʻi - nā mea i hoʻololi ʻia ma hope o Kepakemapa 2001. Ma ka hopena o kēlā mahina, ua hoʻomaka mua kēia ʻāina i kahi "kaua" ma luna o kahi ʻenemi i kēlā manawa ʻo ke Kakauolelo Puʻukū. ʻO Donald Rumsfeld haʻi iā mākou "ʻaʻole wale ma Afghanistan," akā ma "50 a i ʻole 60 mau ʻāina, a pono e hoʻopau ʻia."

ʻElima makahiki a me ʻelua mau kaua pau ʻole ma hope, ua e hōʻikeʻia ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo ke kaua ma luna o ka weliweli ma ke ʻano "he hakakā hanauna e like me ke Kaua Cold, ke ʻano o ka hakakā ʻana e hiki ke hoʻopau i nā makahiki he mau makahiki i ka hana ʻana o nā hui e hoʻopau i nā mea hoʻoweliweli a puni ka honua a kaua i nā extremists makemake e noho aliʻi i ka honua." ʻO kahi hanauna ma hope mai, ʻike ʻia ua pololei ʻo Rumsfeld, inā ʻaʻole e pili ana i ka makemake o ka ʻenemi honua, a laila e pili ana i ka lōʻihi o ka hakakā.

Eia naʻe ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ua maʻa koke mākou i ka "kaua." I nā mahina mua, kaʻa kaʻa a me nā huakaʻi kaʻaahi halawai pinepine (a, ma nā mokulele, e ʻike mau ana) kahi ʻano "keaka palekana" hou a lapuwale. Ke ʻōlelo nei au i kēlā mau laina snaking lōʻihi kahi i aʻo mua ai ka poʻe e wehe i ko lākou kāʻei a me nā ʻaʻahu, ma hope o ko lākou mau pāpale a me nā kāmaʻa, e like me ka wā ma mua. nā mea lole hou ua ʻike ʻia he mau wahi huna no nā mea pahū. ʻO ka pōmaikaʻi, ʻo ka hopu ʻia ʻana o ka Bomber lole loko ʻAʻole i alakaʻi i ka Transportation Security Administration i ka hopena maopopo e pili ana i nā mea hele lole e wehe aʻe. Ua maʻa mākou i ka hoʻokomo ʻana i kā mākou mau ʻeke wai ʻekolu-auneke (ʻAʻole hou!)

He kaua a pau i ka manawa, akā ma ia mau mokulele. I ka manawa i hoʻomaka ai nā kaua pana, inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e hele nui ma ka mokulele a ʻaʻole hoʻi i hoʻouna ʻia i Afghanistan a i Iraq, he mea paʻakikī ke hoʻomanaʻo ʻana aia mākou i ka wā kaua. Aia nā hōʻailona hoʻomau no ka poʻe makemake e ʻike, e like me ka nā hōʻike o nā hana hoʻomāinoino CIA ma "kahua ʻeleʻele” a puni ka honua, nā mea weliweli o nā hale paʻahao koa e like me nā mea ma Bagram Air Force Base ma Afghanistan, ʻAukui Ghraib ma Baghdad, a me ka hale paʻahao e hana mau ana ma Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. A ʻaʻole koke, ʻoiaʻiʻo, aia nā haneli a laila tausani o na koa kahiko o ke kaua Iraq a me Afghan e noho ana i ko lakou mau wahi mawaena o na koa kahiko ole o na kaua mamua ma na kulanakauhale o Amerika Huipuia, kokoke i ike ole ia, koe wale no nā hui lawelawe.

No laila, ʻae, ua kau ʻia nā kaua me ka uku nui, akā me ka liʻiliʻi o ka hopena i kēia ʻāina. Ua loaʻa iā lākou nā inoa hou e like me "ke kaua lōʻihi" (ʻoiai ʻo Donald Trump's Secretary of Defense James Mattis kau ia ma 2017) a i ʻole nā ​​"kaua mau loa," he ʻōlelo i kēia manawa pēlā ka mea maʻamau ʻO ia ʻikeʻia nā mea āpau ka wahi. Akā ma waho ke hoʻopau ma ka liʻiliʻi he $ 6.4 trillion kālā a hiki i Kepakemapa 2020 i hoʻopukapuka ʻia i loko o ka mālama olakino, hoʻonaʻauao, ʻoihana, a i ʻole ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i ka ʻilihune a me ka like ʻole. hana ʻoi aku ka nui o ka pūʻali koa i hoʻopaʻa ʻia e ka Pentagon, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o kēlā mau kaua mau loa i ke ola o ka hapa nui o ʻAmelika.

ʻOiaʻiʻo, inā ʻoe i noho ma kekahi o nā wahi i hakakā ai kēia ʻāina i nā makahiki he 19 i hala, he ʻokoʻa iki nā mea. He kuhi conservative e Iraq Body Count kau make ʻino i waena o nā makaʻāinana ma ia ʻāina wale nō ma 185,454 a 208,493 a me ka papahana Costs of War a Brown University hōʻikeʻia ʻo ka helu nui aʻe e lilo i mea nui i lalo:

"ʻO kekahi mau manawa i make ai ka nui o nā maka'āinana Iraqi ma muli o ka hopena o ke kaua, ma muli o ka pōʻino i nā ʻōnaehana e hāʻawi ai i ka meaʻai, mālama olakino, a me ka wai inu maʻemaʻe, a ʻo ka hopena, ka maʻi, nā maʻi ʻeha, a me ka ʻai ʻole. i ʻole ua pale ʻia a mālama ʻia paha.

A ʻo Iraq wale nō kēlā. Eia hou, e like me ka Cost of War Project, "Ma ka liʻiliʻi o 800,000 poʻe i pepehi ʻia e ka hoʻouka kaua kaua ma Iraq, Afghanistan, Suria, Yemen, a me Pakistan."

ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā poʻe i hōʻeha a i ʻole ke kino. A me nā kaua post-9/11 o ʻAmelika ua hookele he 37 miliona mau kānaka mai ko lākou mau home, hana ʻo ka hoʻoneʻe kanaka nui loa mai ke Kaua Honua II. ʻO nā kānaka ma kēia ʻāina pili pono e pili ana i nā hopena maikaʻi ʻole o ke kula pūnaewele ma luna o nā keiki ʻAmelika ma waena o ka pilikia Covid-19 (ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā keiki ʻilihune a me nā poʻe i nā kaiāulu kala). E noʻonoʻo ʻoe i nā hopena i ka hoʻonaʻauao ʻana o ke keiki i ka nalowale ʻana o kona home a me kona ʻāina, a me hoʻokahi a i ʻole nā ​​mākua ʻelua, a laila e ulu mau ana ma ka neʻe ʻana a i ʻole i kahi paʻa, ʻaʻohe waiwai. ka pā kaua. Ua lilo maoli ke kaua me ka weliweli i kaua no na hanauna.

ʻO kēlā me kēia o nā Noho 2,977 nalowale ma 9/11 he mea kū hoʻokahi a waiwai nui. Akā ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka pane ʻana o US - a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o mākou Manawa Kaua hiki i nā mea hoʻokumu ke noʻonoʻo i kēlā pō ʻOkakopa i nā makahiki he nui aku nei.

Ua hala kēlā mau kaua o kākou no ka aneane ʻelua mau makahiki i kēia manawa. Ua hoʻāpono ʻia kēlā me kēia metastasis hou e George W. Bush a ma hope o Barack Obama i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka mana kahiko 2001 no ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka pūʻali koa (AUMF), i hala ʻia e ka ʻAhaʻōlelo i nā lā ma hope o 9/11. ʻO kāna ʻōlelo maoli ua palena ka hana a ka pelekikena i ka pane pololei i ka hoʻouka kaua 9/11 a me ka pale ʻana i nā hoʻouka kaua e hiki mai ana e nā mea hana like. Ua ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo ka pelekikena

"… ua ʻae ʻia e hoʻohana i ka ikaika kūpono a kūpono e kūʻē i kēlā mau lāhui, hui, a i ʻole nā ​​​​kānaka āna i hoʻoholo ai i hoʻolālā ʻia, ʻae ʻia, hana, a kōkua paha i nā hoʻouka kaua i hana ʻia ma Kepakemapa 11, 2001, a i ʻole nā ​​​​hui like ʻole, i mea e e pale aku i nā hana hoʻoweliweli honua e hiki mai ana e kūʻē iā ʻAmelika e kēlā mau lāhui, hui a kanaka paha.

ʻOiai ka palena palena o ka AUMF, ua hoʻohana nā pelekikena hope e hōʻoia i ka hana kaua ma ka liʻiliʻi 18 ʻāina. (No ka pololei, ua ʻike ʻo Pelekikena Obama i ka lapuwale o kona kūlana i kona hoʻouna ʻana i nā pūʻali koa US i Suria a hoao e wili he ʻae hou mai ka ʻAhaʻōlelo, e pale wale ʻia e ka hapa nui Repubalika ʻaʻole e pāʻani pū.)

I ka makahiki 2002, i ka holo ʻana i ke Kaua Iraq, ua hoʻoholo ʻo Congress i kahi lua AUMF, ka mea i ʻae i ka pelekikena e hoʻohana i nā pūʻali koa i "pono ​​a kūpono" e "pale aku i ka palekana aupuni o ʻAmelika e kūʻē i ka hoʻoweliweli hoʻomau ʻia e Iraq." I Ianuali 2020, ua hoʻohana ʻo Donald Trump i kēlā ʻae ʻelua e hōʻoia i ka pepehi kanaka ma ka drone o Qasem Soleimani, an ʻO Iran nui, me ʻeiwa mau kānaka ʻē aʻe.

Hoʻokomo ʻo Trump

Ma 2016, ua mākaukau nā mea hoʻomalu maluhia e kū i kahi hoʻokele Hillary Clinton a mākou i manaʻo ai e hoʻomau i ka mana o Obama o nā kaua mau loa - ka "kēia” ma Afghanistan, ka nā hoʻolaha pepehi drone, ka ops kūikawā ma Aferika. Akā, i ka Poalua, Nowemapa 8, 2016, ua hele kekahi mea i ka "Trump" i ka pō a ua lawe ʻo Donald J. Trump i ka pelekikena me ka ʻōlelo hoʻohiki e hoʻopau i nā kaua mau loa o kēia ʻāina, āna i hoʻohewa mau ai i kāna hoʻolaha. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole ia i manaʻo e manaʻo mākou i ka hoʻokaʻawale maluhia i kēlā me kēia manawa koke. Ua kūpaʻa pū ʻo ia hana hou ʻia he pūʻali koa US i manaʻo ʻia "hoʻopau ʻia". E like me kāna i ʻōlelo ai ma 2019 kaomi kuhi,

“I koʻu lawe ʻana i luna, he haunaele… Ua hele mai kekahi o ko mākou mau pūkaua e ʻike iaʻu a ʻōlelo ʻo ia, 'E ka Haku, ʻaʻohe a mākou mau mea kaua.' 'Ōlelo wau, 'He mea weliweli kāu i ʻōlelo mai nei.' Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia, 'ʻAʻohe a mākou mau mea kaua.' I kēia manawa ua ʻoi aku ka nui o nā mea kaua ma mua o kā mākou.

ʻAʻole hiki i ka pūʻali koa ke kūʻai aku i nā pōkā i ka wā i komo ai ʻo Trump i ke Keʻena Oval, no ka mea, e holo ana ke kālā pale i ka lehulehu ma $580 biliona i ka makahiki. Akā naʻe, ua hoʻokō ʻo ia i ka pana ʻana i kēlā helu i $ 713 biliona ma ka makahiki kālā 2020. hooweliweli ana no hoi e hoʻopaʻapaʻa i kahi haʻawina ʻoi aku ka nui no 2021 - $ 740 biliona - akā no kona makemake wale i ka pūʻali koa e hoʻomau i ka hoʻohanohano ʻana i nā General Confederate ma ka mālama ʻana i ko lākou mau inoa ma nā kahua kaua. ʻAe, a no kona manaʻo e hoʻololi pū ka pila i nā lula kuleana no nā hui media kaiapili, kahi pilikia āu e manaʻo ʻole ai e ʻike ʻia i loko o kahi bila hāʻawi pale. A ma kekahi hihia, ua hoʻoholo ka ʻAhaʻōlelo i ka bila me ka ka hapa nui o ka veto-proof.

E like me ka loea Pentagon Michael Klare i kuhikuhiʻia i kēia mau lā, ʻoiai he mea kūʻē paha e makemake ʻo Trump e hoʻopau i nā kaua mau loa a hoʻonui i ka hoʻolimalima koa, ua hana maoli kāna mau hana. Ua ʻōlelo ʻia ka pelekikena, ʻo Klare, ua koi ʻia e kākoʻo i ka ʻāpana o ka pūʻali koa US i makemake i kahi pivot koʻikoʻi mai ka noho aliʻi ʻana i nā hana Pentagon post-9/11. No nā makahiki he 19, ua pili pono ke kauoha kiʻekiʻe o ka pūʻali koa i ka hoʻolālā i hoʻonohonoho ʻia e ke Kakauolelo o ka Defence Donald Rumsfeld i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o nā makahiki Bush: e mālama ana i ka hiki ke kaua i nā kaua honua e kūʻē i hoʻokahi a ʻelua mau mana kūloko (e noʻonoʻo i kēlā "Axis o ka ʻino” o Iraq, North Korea, a me Iran), ʻoiai e hoʻohana ana i nā pūʻali agile a me ka ʻenehana i ka haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa (a me kekahi mau kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe) nā hakakā counterterrorism. He ʻumikūmāiwa mau makahiki ma hope mai, ʻo nā mea a pau e pili ana i kāna mau pahuhopu - ʻoi aku ka paʻa o ka Middle East? He liʻiliʻi a nāwaliwali nā hui hoʻoweliweli? - ua maopopo ua hāʻule nui ka hoʻolālā Rumsfeld-Bush.

Hōʻike ʻo Klare, ma hope o ʻelua mau makahiki me ka lanakila ʻole, ua hoʻoholo nui ka Pentagon e hoʻohaʻahaʻa i ka hoʻoweliweli honua mai ka hoʻoulu ʻana i ka monster i ke ao namu hoʻonāukiuki. Akā, pono e hoʻomākaukau ka US e kū i ka piʻi ʻana o Kina a me Rūsia, ʻoiai inā ʻo Kina wale nō hookahi kahua kaua ma ka aina e a ʻo Rūsia, ma ka ʻōlelo hoʻokele waiwai, he mokuʻāina petro rickety me nā manaʻo imperial. I nā huaʻōlelo ʻē aʻe, pono ka US e hoʻomākaukau e hakakā i nā kaua pōkole akā pōʻino i nā ʻāpana he nui (me ka lewa a me ka cyberspace), e pili ana paha i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea kaua nuklea ma ka ʻāina ʻo Eurasian. No keia mea, ua hoomaka maoli ka aina a hoʻoponopono nui o kana mea kaua nukelea a hai mai la he papahana 30 makahiki hou e hoʻonui i kona mana moana. A ʻaʻole hiki i ka Pelekikena Trump ke haʻalele i kahi manawa e haʻi aku ai i kāna "hana" i kahi Space Force hou.

I kēia manawa, mālama maoli ʻo ia i kāna ʻōlelo hoʻohiki a hoʻopau i kēlā mau kaua mau loa? ʻaʻole naʻe. Ua hana 'o ia 'ōlelo e hoʻihoʻi mai i nā pūʻali koa US a pau mai Afghanistan mai i ka Kalikimaka, akā ʻo ke Kakauolelo Kūʻē ʻo Christopher Miller i kēia manawa wale nō mai la e haʻalele ana mākou ma kahi o 2,500 mau pūʻali koa ma laila a me kahi helu like ma Iraq, me ka manaʻolana e pau lākou a pau i ka Mei 2021. (Ma nā huaʻōlelo ʻē aʻe, ua hoʻolei ʻo ia i kēlā mau kaua ma ka ʻūhā o ka hoʻokele Biden e hiki mai ana.)

I kēia manawa i kēia mau makahiki o ka "hoʻopau" i kēlā mau kaua, ua hoʻokuʻu maoli ka hoʻokele Trump i nā lula o ke komo ʻana no ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana ma Afghanistan, alakai i he "hoʻonui nui i nā poʻe kīwila," e like me kahi hōʻike hou mai ka Cost of War Project. "Mai ka makahiki hope o ka hoʻomalu ʻana o Obama a hiki i ka makahiki piha o ka ʻikepili i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ka wā o ka hoʻokele Trump," i kākau ai kāna mea kākau, ʻo Neta Crawford, "ua hoʻonui ʻia ka nui o nā poʻe kīwila i pepehi ʻia e US i alakaʻi ʻia ma Afghanistan e 330 pakeneka."

ʻOiai ʻo kāna ʻōlelo hoʻokaʻawale ʻo "America First", ma nā ʻōlelo ʻē aʻe, ua alakaʻi ʻo Pelekikena Trump i kahi kūkulu nui o kahi keʻena, ka pūʻali koa-ʻoihana, ʻaʻole i nele i ka waiwai hou. A me kona ʻōlelo kūʻē iā NATO, kāna ka ho'ēmiʻana ma kahi kokoke i ka hapakolu o ka ikaika o ka pūʻali koa US iā Kelemānia, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe, ʻaʻole loa ʻo ia i uhaki i ka ʻaelike kulekele haole ma hope o ke Kaua Honua II ma waena o nā ʻaoʻao Repubalika a me Demokarata. Me ka ʻole o ko lākou ʻae ʻana e pili ana i ka puʻunaue ʻana i ka waiwai i loko o ka hale, ua hui pū lākou i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka diplomacy inā hiki, akā ʻo ka pūʻali koa inā pono, e mālama a hoʻonui i ka mana imperial a lākou i manaʻoʻiʻo ai ʻo ia ka mea e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ai i kēlā waiwai.

A hiki mai ʻo Joe

Ma Ianuali 20, 2021, e lilo ʻo Joe Biden i pelekikena o kahi ʻāina e hoʻolilo nui i kāna mau pūʻali koa, ma kekahi mau helu, e like me ka hui ʻana o nā ʻāina he 10 e hiki mai ana. E hoʻoili iā ia ke kuleana no ka lāhui me ka ka pūʻali koa ma 150 mau ʻāina a hana kūikawā ma 22 mau aupuni o Aferika wale no. E waiho ʻia ʻo ia e kiaʻi i ke kaua i hoʻopau ʻole ʻia, kūleʻa ʻole, kaua pau ʻole i ka weliweli ma Iraq, Suria, Afghanistan, Yemen, a me Somalia a, e like me ka hōʻike ʻana i ka lehulehu e ka 'Oihana Defence, 187,000 nā pūʻali koa i hoʻonoho ʻia ma waho o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.

ʻAʻohe mea ma ka moʻolelo o Joe Biden e hōʻike ana ʻo ia a i ʻole kekahi o kāna poʻe ua koho ʻia i kona hui hoomalu aupuni i ka manao iki e hoopau i kela kuikahi aupuni Demokarata-Repubalika. Akā ʻaʻole mālama ʻia nā aupuni e ka makemake wale nō. ʻAʻole lākou mau loa. Hoʻonui lākou iā lākou iho. Popopo mai loko mai.
