Ma ka lā 23 o Dekemaba i ka makahiki i hala, ua haʻi aku ke Aupuni Iapana i ka lawelawe ʻo Kyodo News i ka wā e loaʻa ai kahi "Taiwan Contingency" ka pūʻali koa US, me ke kōkua ʻana o nā Pūʻali Kūlohelohe Kepani, e hoʻokumu i kahi kaula o nā kahua hoʻouka kaua ma ka " mokupuni komohana hema” o Iapana. Ua loaʻa kēia nūhou i kahi hoʻolaha pōkole ma kekahi mau nūpepa Kepani a he liʻiliʻi hou aʻe i hoʻopuehu ʻia a puni ka honua (ʻaʻole naʻe, i koʻu ʻike, ma US) akā ʻo ia ka nūhou ma nā nūpepa ʻelua o Okinawa. ʻAʻole ia he mea kupanaha, makemake nui ka poʻe ma ʻaneʻi i ke ʻano o ia mea.
ʻO ka "Southwest Islands" ʻo ia hoʻi ʻo Ryukyu Archipelago, i ʻike ʻia ʻo Okinawa Prefecture. ʻO "Taiwan contingency" ʻo ia paha ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e Kina e hoʻihoʻi hou i ka mana o Taiwan e ka pūʻali koa. Ma ka huaʻōlelo "Attack bases", "attack" i hoʻomaopopo ʻia ʻo "attack on China". Akā inā e hoʻouka ʻia ʻo Kina mai Okinawa, ʻo ia hoʻi, ʻo ke kānāwai o ke ao holoʻokoʻa, ʻo ia ke kuleana e pale aku iā ia iho ma ke kūʻē ʻana iā Okinawa.
Mai kēia hiki iā mākou ke hoʻomaopopo i ke kumu i hoʻokomo ai nā aupuni US a me Iapana iā Okinawa wale nō (me kahi ʻāpana ʻāina ma ke kahakai hema o Kyushu) i kēia wahi hakakā hypothetical. Ua ʻike lōʻihi ka poʻe Okinawans i ke ʻano o ke Aupuni Iapana i ka wā e ʻōlelo hou ai lākou ʻo Okinawa wale nō ka wahi kūpono no nā waihona US hou ma Iapana: ʻAʻole makemake ʻo Mainland Japan ma mua o ka helu liʻiliʻi i loaʻa iā lākou (me kā lākou mau hewa, nā ulia pōpilikia. , ka walaau pepeiao, pollution, etc.), a ua aʻo ʻo Mainland Iapana he mana kona e mālama i ka ʻāpana nui o ka ukana kumu ma Okinawa, ma ke kānāwai he ʻāpana o Iapana, akā ma ka moʻomeheu a me ka mōʻaukala, he ʻāina ʻē i colonized. ʻAʻole ʻōlelo ka hōʻike aupuni e pili ana i "nā kahua hoʻouka" ma kekahi wahi o Tokyo, no ka laʻana, lilo i wahi kaua, ʻoiai aia kona mau kumu. Me he mea lā ke manaʻo nei ke Aupuni e hiki iā ia ke hoʻokau i ka pilikia a me ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻana o nā kahua haole, akā i ka weliweli o ke kaua a lākou e lawe pū ai me lākou, ma Okinawa.
Hoʻopiha ʻia kēia me nā ironies. He poʻe maluhia ka poʻe Okinawans, ʻaʻole lākou i kaʻana like i ke ʻano o ka militaristic Japanese Bushido ethic. I ka makahiki 1879, i ka wā i hoʻouka kaua ai ʻo Iapana a hoʻohui pū i ke Aupuni Ryukyu, ua noi ka Mōʻī iā lākou ʻaʻole e kūkulu i pūʻali koa ma ko lākou ʻāina, no ka mea e hoʻouka kaua me ia. Ua hōʻole ʻia kēia, a ua like ka hopena e like me ka wānana: ʻo ke kaua hope loa o ke Kaua Honua II i kaua ʻia ma Okinawa. Ma hope o ke kaua, ʻoiai i nā makahiki mua ʻaʻohe koho o ka poʻe Okinawa akā e hana ma nā kahua i noho (a i kēia manawa) i kā lākou ʻāina mahiʻai, ʻaʻole lākou i hāʻawi i kā lākou ʻae (a ʻaʻole i noi ʻia) a ua hakakā. kūʻē iā lākou ma nā ʻano he nui a hiki i kēia lā.
Manaʻo ka poʻe he nui i kēia e hoʻohuli hou i kā lākou ʻike i ka makahiki 1945, i ka wā i lawe ʻia ai ke kaua ʻaʻole na lākou iho i ko lākou ʻāina, a ua uku lākou i ke kumukūʻai kaumaha loa: ʻoi aku ka nui o ka poʻe i make. I kēia manawa ua loaʻa iā lākou nā waihona makemake ʻole i ko lākou ʻāina, a ʻoi aku ka nui o ka hoʻolālā ʻana, e like paha ka hopena. ʻAʻole hakakā ka poʻe Okinawa me Kina, ʻaʻole hoʻi me Taiwan. Ina e hoomaka ke kaua pela, he kakaikahi ka poe e kokua i kekahi aoao o ia aoao. ʻAʻole wale lākou e paʻa i ka manaʻo kūʻē iā ia; i ka wā e hakakā ai ka ʻāina colonizing i ke kaua kūʻē i kekahi ʻaoʻao ʻekolu ma ka ʻāina o ka poʻe colonized, ʻaʻole ia he kaua kanaka. ʻOiai ʻo ka US a me Iapana e hoʻolilo iā Okinawa i kahua kaua i kēia kaua, ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo ʻo ka poʻe Okinawans ponoʻī e "i ke kaua", ʻoiai ʻo ka poʻe noncombatants i kūkulu i kahi "home mua". ʻAe, aia nā waihona US ma ko lākou ʻāina, akā ʻo ia no ka koi ʻana o Tokyo a me US Aupuni e noho lākou ma laila, me ka nānā ʻole i ka makemake o ka poʻe Okinawan. ʻO ka mea hoʻohenehene, inā e hoʻomaka ka pepehi kanaka a hele nā mea e like me ka manaʻo o ke Aupuni Iapana, ʻo ka poʻe Okinawans ka mea e amo ai. A ʻaʻohe mea e hoʻopiʻi ʻia ma ke ʻano he lawehala kaua no kēia "hōʻino kolateral".
He mau lā wale nō ma hope o ka puka ʻana o kēia nūhou ma nā nūpepa kūloko a me ka TV, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Okinawans e kamaʻilio e pili ana i ka hoʻomaka ʻana i kahi neʻe i hoʻolaʻa ʻia e kāpae i kēia kaua mai ka hele ʻana mai i Okinawa. I ka wā e holo ana kēia kūkākūkā, ua hoʻomaka ka "Ukraine Contingency", e hāʻawi ana i nā Okinawans i ke kiʻi o nā mea e hiki mai ana ma aneʻi. ʻAʻohe mea i manaʻo e hoʻopaʻa ka pūʻali koa Kina i ka poʻe koa ma ʻaneʻi a ʻimi paha e hopu i nā kūlanakauhale. ʻO ka makemake o Kina e hoʻokaʻawale i kēlā mau "kumu hoʻouka kaua" US, me Kadena, Futenma, Hansen, Schwab, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe, a e luku i kā lākou mau missiles a hoʻouka i nā mokulele. Inā hui pū ka Pūʻali Kūlohelohe Kepanī i ka hoʻouka kaua, hiki iā lākou ke manaʻo i ka hoʻouka kaua. E like me kā mākou i ʻike ai mai nā kaua he nui o nā makahiki i hala iho nei, ʻo nā pōkā a me nā missiles i kekahi manawa e pae i ka pahu hopu a i kekahi manawa pae i kahi ʻē aʻe. (Ua hoʻolaha ka Pūʻali Kūlohelohe ʻaʻole lākou i hoʻolako i ka mālama ʻana i ke ola o ka poʻe hakakā ʻole; ʻo ia ke kuleana o ke aupuni kūloko.)
ʻO ka hoʻokumu kūhelu o ka hui hou No Moa Okinawa-sen – Nuchi du Takara (No More Battle of Okinawa – Life is a Treasure) e hoʻolaha ʻia ma kahi hui ma Malaki 19 (1:30~4:00PM, Okinawa Shimin Kaikan, inā ʻoe i ke kūlanakauhale). (Full disclosure: E loaʻa iaʻu he mau minuke ma ka mike.) He mea paʻakikī loa ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi hoʻolālā lanakila, akā ʻo kekahi o nā manaʻo ʻelua e hoʻomaha ai i kēia mau ʻano hakakā ʻo ia ka hoʻomaka ʻana. ʻO kahi "contingency" e komo pū ana me Okinawa e alakaʻi i ka make ʻino o nā lālā he nui o kekahi o nā lāhui aloha maluhia o ka honua, ʻaʻohe mea e pili ana i nā pilikia o kēia hakakā. ʻO kēia kekahi o nā kumu maikaʻi loa e pale aku ai i kēia kaua lapuwale loa.
