Unite against Nato expansion and war團結起來,反對北約東擴和戰爭 Wednesday, November 12th, 2008 星期三, 2008年十一月12號 With conflict spreading across the globe, April’s protest in Strasbourg will be a key focus for the anti-war movement, writes Chris Nineham隨著衝突蔓延世界各地, 4月份的抗議活動在斯特拉斯堡將是一個重點反戰運動,寫克里斯Nineham The European anti-war movement is calling for mass protests at next year’s Nato summit in Strasbourg, France, including an international demonstration and a counter-summit.歐洲反戰運動呼籲群眾抗議在明年的北約首腦會議在法國斯特拉斯堡舉行,包括國際示範和反首腦會議。 This is a key opportunity for the anti-war movement.這是一個關鍵的機會,反戰運動。 The reason is simple.原因很簡單。 Nato has become the main vehicle for the imperial strategy of the US and its allies.北約已成為主要手段帝國戰略的美國及其盟國。 And the timing is perfect – the mood for change that swept Barack Obama to office coincides with deep problems for the US’s imperial project.和時間安排是完美的-人的情緒變化,席捲奧巴馬辦公室恰逢深問題,美國的帝國項目。 Nato’s actions are destabilising much of Europe and Asia.北約的行動是破壞穩定的許多歐洲和亞洲。 Nato controls the 47,000-strong “International Security Assistance Force” that fronts the disastrous occupation of Afghanistan.北約控制了4.7萬強“的國際安全援助部隊”的戰線上的災難性佔領阿富汗。 Rather than accepting defeat in the face of growing opposition, Nato leaders are now contemplating a military “surge” in Afghanistan and more cross-border attacks in Pakistan.而不是接受失敗,面對日益增長的反對,北約領導人正在考慮的軍事“增兵”在阿富汗和更多的跨邊界襲擊巴基斯坦。 The US’s two most senior military figures, General David Petraeus and Admiral Michael Mullen, are currently reviewing their Afghanistan strategy and planning on how to deal with “safe havens for terrorists” in Pakistan.美國的兩個最高級軍事人物,彼得雷烏斯將軍和海軍上將邁克爾馬倫,目前正在審查其阿富汗的戰略和規劃就如何處理“避風港恐怖分子”在巴基斯坦。 Incursions 入侵 There have been 17 bloody incursions into Pakistan since the beginning of September.已有17個血腥的侵入巴基斯坦自9月初。 Western powers have given the Pakistani government a choice – crack down on the so-called “tribal areas” on the Afghan border or Nato may take the situation into its own hands.西方列強給了巴基斯坦政府的選擇-嚴厲打擊所謂的“部落地區”對阿富汗邊境或北約可能採取的情況納入其自己的手中。 The assumption is that the resistance in Afghanistan is growing because of these “terrorist bases” in Pakistan.的假設是,在阿富汗抵抗日益由於這些“恐怖基地”在巴基斯坦。 In fact the opposite is the case – the growing instability in Pakistan is a direct consequence of the brutal Nato occupation of Afghanistan.事實上,相反的情況-越來越多的不穩定巴基斯坦是一個直接後果,北約的野蠻佔領阿富汗。 Meanwhile Nato’s plans for eastward expansion in Europe risks confrontation with Russia.與此同時北約的計劃東擴在歐洲的風險與俄羅斯對抗。 The day after Obama’s election, Russia’s president Dmitry Medvedev announced he would move nuclear warheads to Kaliningrad on the border with Poland, and point them west.第二天奧巴馬的選舉,俄羅斯總統梅德韋傑夫宣布,他將移動核彈頭的加里寧格勒與波蘭邊界,並指出其中西部地區。 He said this was to “neutralise” the so called “missile defence shield” that the US has been throwing up around Russia.他說,這是“瓦解”的所謂“導彈防禦系統” ,美國一直在附近投擲了俄羅斯。 But it is also a sign of Russia’s defiance in the face of its war with Georgia in the summer and attempts by Nato to integrate Georgia and Ukraine into its orbit.但是,這也是一個標誌俄羅斯的蔑視,面對戰爭與格魯吉亞在夏季和北約企圖把格魯吉亞和烏克蘭納入其軌道。 Though the US is still the most powerful country in the world, economic crisis and the fact that its armies are bogged down in Iraq and Afghanistan make challenges to US power more likely.儘管美國仍然是最強大的國家在世界經濟危機和事實,即它的軍隊陷入伊拉克和阿富汗戰爭使美國面臨的挑戰力量更有可能。 US military chiefs recently repeated calls for Nato countries to send more troops to Afghanistan.美國軍事首長最近一再呼籲北約國家派遣更多的部隊到阿富汗。 Obama himself has said he wants to see more concerted action.奧巴馬本人也表示,他希望看到更多的協調一致的行動。 But tensions are emerging in the Nato coalition.但正在出現的緊張局勢在北約聯盟。 Britain’s most senior soldier warned this week that Britain should not redeploy its troops from Iraq to Afghanistan.英國最資深的士兵本週警告稱,英國不應該重新部署其軍隊撤出伊拉克阿富汗。 General Jock Stirrup told the BBC, “The British armed forces are stretched.一般約克箍筋接受BBC採訪時說, “英國武裝部隊正在緊張。 It’s crucial we reduce the operational tempo for our armed forces.這是至關重要的,我們的業務減少的速度為我們的武裝部隊。 “It cannot be just a one-for-one transfer from Iraq to Afghanistan.’’ “它不能只是一個一對一從伊拉克轉移到阿富汗。 '' The statement from the chief of defence staff is a signal to the US that Britain is not prepared to endlessly ramp up the number of troops.該聲明由國防參謀長是一個信號,美國,英國不準備無休止地提高部隊的人數。 We cannot be complacent, however, as the US is likely to use the Nato summit to pressure countries to contribute more troops.我們不能自滿,但是,美國很可能使用的北約首腦會議的壓力國家作出更大貢獻的部隊。 Millions 數以百萬計 The Strasbourg protests give us a chance to push for the changes that millions are looking for.斯特拉斯堡抗議給我們一個機會,推動變化,數百萬人期待的。 They can be a launchpad for a global campaign against the occupation of Afghanistan.他們可以發動一場全球運動反對佔領的阿富汗。 They can also force the warmongers onto the defensive.他們還可以迫使戰爭販子到防禦性的。 Anyone who remembers Genoa in 2001 will know that huge international protests can have an electrifying effect on activists round the world.任何人誰記得在2001年熱那亞都知道,龐大的國際抗議可以有通電的影響活動家世界各地。 © Copyright Socialist Worker 版權所有社會主義工人 Have Your Say: Unite against Nato expansion and war 你說:團結起來北約東擴和戰爭 Please read our請仔細閱讀我們的 posting guidelines
