Nānā: Ua hāʻawi ʻo Brian Terrell i kēia kamaʻilio ma ka ʻOkakopa 1 hōʻike maluhia i kākoʻo ʻia e PeaceWorksKC, ma Whiteman AFB, kokoke i Knob Noster, MO.
Ma ke alakaʻi ʻana i kēia kūʻē, ua kūkākūkā ʻia ma waena o nā mea hoʻonohonoho e pili ana i ke ʻano o nā hana drone ma Whiteman Air Force Base. He keʻena hoʻomaʻamaʻa paha kēia, a i ʻole nā drone Reaper e hana i nā hana make, he pepehi kanaka maoli anei i hana ʻia mai kēia wahi, i ka manawa maoli ma nā wahi mamao loa e ka mana mamao? ʻOiai ua uhi ʻia nā kikoʻī o nā hana drone i kahi huna, i haki wale ʻia e nā whistleblowers wiwo ʻole, ua hōʻike nui ka Air Force iā ia iho no mākou e ʻike ai ke hana ʻia nei nā hewa me nā hopena honua ma kēia wahi.
I Kepakemapa 2020, a nūʻike hoʻōla i mālama ʻia ma ka pūnaewele ʻo Whiteman i haʻaheo, "ʻO ka 20th Attack Squadron ... aia ma Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri, ua koho ʻia ʻo General Atomics '2019 Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) Squadron of the Year.
He inoa kapakapa kēlā me kēia pūʻali koa, a ʻo ka 20th Hele ʻo Attack Squadron ma ka inoa Hellhounds. "Ua haʻahaʻa loa mākou a mahalo i ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi makana hanohano," wahi a Lt. Col. Daniel, 20.th ʻO ke alakaʻi o ka Squadron Attack, me ka hoʻohui ʻana, "Ua hana nui nā poʻe a pau o ka hui ʻo Hellhound e kōkua i ka hoʻokō ʻana i kā mākou misionari." Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Col. Stephen Jones, “Ma o kā lākou kākoʻo hoʻolaʻa ʻana i ka Operation Freedom's Sentinel, ka 20th Ua lilo ʻo Attack Squadron i pūʻali koa make loa o ka US Air Force, me ka loaʻa ʻana o ka helu 97 pakeneka.
ʻAʻole hiki mai ka Air Force e pili ana i ka hana a nā Hellhounds a i hea paha. Ma hea i ka honua i hana nui ai ka hui ʻo Hellhound a hoʻokō i ka ʻoihana hea? ʻO wai i make e ʻae i ka 20th Attack Squadron e lilo i ka US Air Force "ʻoi loa lethal squadron," a he aha ka manaʻo o ka "97% strike effectiveness rating" ke ʻike mākou mai ka mea koa Air Force a me ka whistleblower ʻo Daniel Hale i ka liʻiliʻi ma mua o 10 ka nui o ka poʻe i pepehi ʻia i ka papahana drone Reaper ʻO nā pahuhopu i manaʻo ʻia?
Makemake ka pūʻali koa i ka inoa o kona mau koa a hoʻopuka i nā moʻolelo o ka wiwo ʻole, akā ʻo ia ka mea e pili ana i kāna mau pahu drone. ʻO ka pinepine a mākou e lohe ai i kekahi mea, a i ka manawa kakaʻikahi i hoʻolaha ʻia a wehe ʻole ʻia kahi pahu lethal drone, ʻaʻole i hōʻike ʻia ka mea nāna i lele ka drone, nāna i hoʻokuʻu i ka missile, ma lalo o kāna mau kauoha. He hewa nui paha ia, e like me hoʻokahi makahiki i hala ma ʻAukake 2021 i ka wā i pepehi ʻia ai nā lālā he ʻumi o ka ʻohana Ahmadi, ʻehiku o lākou mau keiki, i kahi pahu drone ma Kabul no ka mea ua kuhi hewa ʻia ka makuakāne he mea hoʻoweliweli ISIS-K, a i ʻole. i ka pepehi kanaka o na pahu hopu kiʻekiʻe e like me ke alakaʻi al Qaeda Ayman al-Zawahiri, pepehi ʻia me ka drone missile ʻoiai ʻo ia e kū ana ma luna o ka lanai ma kona home i ʻAukake i hala, ʻaʻole mākou i haʻi ʻia i ka mea e hoʻomaikaʻi ai a hoʻohewa paha. Ua kauoha ʻia nā poʻe drone e kamaʻilio e pili ana i kā lākou mau misionari ma waena o lākou iho, ko lākou ʻohana a me nā hoaaloha, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi i ka lehulehu; ʻike lākou i ka haunaele ma ka wikiō hoʻonā kiʻekiʻe mai ka palekana o nā kumu e like me kēia, mau tausani mile ka mamao, akā hiki ʻole ke kamaʻilio e pili ana i kekahi.
ʻEono makahiki aku nei, ua kamaʻilio ʻo Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill i ka Alakaʻi Nūhou Springfield e pili ana i ka "hoʻi pinepine ʻana o nā mea hoʻokele drone mai nā kahua US i ko lākou mau ʻohana ma hope o ka lā o ka hana ʻana i ka reconnaissance a me nā hōʻeha make ma nā wahi mamao loa, hiki ke lilo i mea hoʻololi hoʻololi." "Ua ʻōlelo ʻo McCaskill, i ka wā o kahi kipa me nā mea hoʻokele drone ma Whiteman i ka makahiki i hala, ua haʻi aku kekahi mau mokulele iā ia e makemake lākou e hana i ka pō, no laila hiki iā lākou ke hoʻohaʻahaʻa ma mua o ka hoʻolimalima ʻana me kā lākou mau kāne a mau keiki paha."
No laila, he aha ka hana ma kēia kahua? ʻAʻole mākou ʻike maoli, koe wale nō ka Hellhounds, ka 20th Ua hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia ʻo Attack Squadron ma Whiteman Air Force Base ma Missouri ma ke ʻano he "squadron o ka makahiki" o ka US Air Force, ʻo kāna "squadron make loa." Ua ʻike mākou no ke kūpono ʻana i kēia "hōʻailona hanohano," ua pepehi lākou i nā poʻe he nui. ʻO wai kēia poʻe, ma nā ʻāina hea a lākou i noho ai a make ai, he poʻe kamaliʻi paha lākou a he poʻe makua paha, i pepehi ʻia ma ke kahua kaua a i ko lākou mau home paha, me ka noʻonoʻo a i ʻole ma ke kumu, ʻaʻole i ʻike ʻia nā lālā o ka US Congress. ʻO wai nā Hellhounds o Missouri e ʻimi nei a pepehi i ko mākou mau inoa i kēia manawa ke kū nei mākou ma waho o kēia mau ʻīpuka, ʻaʻole paha mākou i ʻike.
Ke hele mai nei mākou ma ʻaneʻi me kēia mau nīnau no nā makahiki he ʻumi a keu aku nei. Ua hopu ʻia kekahi o mākou, ua paʻahao kekahi o mākou, e koi ana i nā pane. I kēia manawa, e like me ka maʻi ahulau, ua hoʻonui wale nā drones ma ʻaneʻi a puni ka honua a ulu aʻe i ka mea make, e hoʻouluulu a hoʻoweliweli, ʻaʻole e hoʻoholo i kekahi paio akā e hoʻonui i ka maluhia. Ma Ukraine i kēia lā, ʻo nā drones TB-2 i hana ʻia e Turkish i ka hakakā ma ka ʻaoʻao o Ukraine a ke kau nei ʻo Rūsia i nā drones Shahed 136 i hana ʻia e Iran, ma kahi hakakā e hoʻoweliweli ana e piʻi i kahi kaua nuklea.
Ua kono ʻia mākou e kūʻē i nā drones, akā ʻo kēia mahina ka 60th ka makahiki o ka Cuban Missile Crisis, a he mea kūpono ia e hoʻomanaʻo i kēlā hanana i kēia lā. ʻO ka 20th ʻO Attack Squadron ma ʻaneʻi kahi ʻāpana i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia o ka 432nd Eheu Expeditionary o Creech Air Force Base ma Nevada. ʻO Whiteman ka home o ka B-2 "Spirit" stealth bomber a me ka 509th ʻO Bomber Wing, mālama i ka liʻiliʻi 136 mau pōkā nukili ma ka makaukau. "E hoʻokō i nā hana Nuclear a me Global Strike ... i kēlā me kēia manawa, ma nā wahi āpau!" ʻo ia ka 509th'ōlelo misionari.
ʻO ka hoʻoweliweli a Vladimir Putin e hoʻohana i nā mea kaua nuklea inā hoʻouka ʻia ka ʻāina ʻo Rūsia he mea weliweli, kuleana ʻole, a ʻaʻole hiki ke pale ʻia. ʻOiai hoʻohana ʻia ma ke ʻano he bluff, ʻo ia ʻano hoʻoweliweli iā ia iho he hewa i ke kanaka. ʻAʻole loa i hoʻoweliweli kekahi lāhui i ka hoʻohana mua ʻana i nā mea kaua nuklea. ʻAʻohe mea koe wale nō ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, nāna i hanu i kēlā hoʻoweliweli mau i kēlā me kēia lā no nā makahiki he mau makahiki. Mai Hiroshima a hiki i kēia manawa, ʻo ʻAmelika wale nō ka lāhui i paʻa i kahi kulekele hoʻohana mua. ʻO ka ʻike hou loa o kēia hoʻoweliweli, ʻo ka 2022 Nuclear Posture Review and Missile Defense Review"E noʻonoʻo wale ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea kaua nuklea i nā kūlana koʻikoʻi e pale aku i nā pono koʻikoʻi o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa a i ʻole kona mau hoa a me nā hoa."
ʻO ke aʻo ʻana o "ka luku ʻana i kekahi," ʻaʻohe lanakila o ke kaua nuklea, ua mālama i kahi ʻano ʻoluʻolu a make o ka "maluhia" no nā makahiki he mau makahiki. Ke hoʻopau mau nei ia i kēia manawa, hoʻoulu ʻia e ka US trillion-dollar program no ka hoʻololi ʻana a me ka "hoʻonui ola" o kāna mea kaua nuklea kahiko. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā ʻāpana nuklea ʻole o kēia mau mea kaua nuklea hou, ʻoi aku ka pololei a me ka hoʻoili ʻia ʻana e hana ʻia ma kahi mamao loa mai ʻaneʻi ma Kansas City. "ʻOi aku ka pololei a me ka hoʻoili ʻia" ʻo ia kekahi ala e ʻōlelo ai "ʻoi aku ka hoʻohana ʻia," a me kēia mau mea kaua hou, ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ka lima, ke noʻonoʻo nei nā mea hoʻolālā kaua US i nā ala e hoʻohana ai iā lākou. Ma kahi hōʻike o Iune 2019 e ka US Joint Chiefs of Staff, "Hana Nukelea, "manaʻo ʻia ʻo ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea kaua nuklea hiki ke hana i nā kūlana no nā hopena hoʻoholo a me ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana i ke kūpaʻa hoʻolālā ... ʻO ke ʻano, ʻo ka hoʻohana ʻana i kahi mea kaua nuklea e hoʻololi maoli i ke ʻano o ke kaua a hana i nā kūlana e pili ana i ka lanakila ʻana o nā luna i ka hakakā. .” Ua hoʻoholo ka poʻe hana kaua ʻAmelika e hiki ke lanakila i ke kaua nuklea ma hope o nā mea a pau, a ua ʻae ʻo Vladimir Putin. ʻOi aku ka pilikia o ka honua i kēia manawa ma mua o 60 mau makahiki i hala.
ʻAʻohe manawa e nalowale. ʻO nā kūlana āpau i kēia lā, ʻoi aku ka hoʻonui ʻia e ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā drones pepehi kanaka, piʻi i "nā kūlana koʻikoʻi" hiki ke alakaʻi i ke kaua nuklea, a me ka 509th ʻO Bomber Wing, ma ʻaneʻi ma Whiteman, a me kāna mau hoa Lūkini, ʻaʻohe kānalua, kū mākaukau e "E hoʻokō i nā hana Nuclear a me Global Strike ... i kēlā me kēia manawa, ma nā wahi āpau!" ʻO nā kumuwaiwai e pono ai e hoʻohuli i ka pōʻino o ka honua a me ke alo i ka ulu ʻana o nā maʻi maʻi me mākou, i kā mākou paʻa ʻana, akā naʻe, ʻo nā lāhui o ka honua, ʻo ka US mua ma waena o lākou, e koho e hoʻopau iā lākou i ke kaua.
Inā he kumu e paʻa ai i ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana a me ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana e mālama iā mākou i ka palekana i loko o ko mākou mau home, ua hoʻopau ka piʻi ʻana o nā mea kaua nuklea a me nā drones. ʻAʻohe koho ma mua o ka wehe ʻana. Mahalo no kou noho ʻana ma ʻaneʻi. He mea liʻiliʻi paha ia, akā hiki i nā ʻano liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi e like me kēia ke manaʻo maoli i ka honua.
