I kēia manawa, ua kū ka pae kaua nukelea. ʻEiwa mau lāhui i loaʻa ka huina o kahi 15,500 pākuhi hoʻomehana honua i loko o kā lākou arsenals, me 7,300 i loaʻa iā Lūkia a me 7,100 i lilo iā ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. He paʻakikī ke kuikahi Lūkini-ʻAmelika e hōʻemi hou i kā lākou pūʻali koa nukelea i ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ke aloha Lūkini a me ko Repubalika kūʻē.
Eia nō naʻe he mea nui ka hoʻoneʻe kaua nuklear, no ka mea, inā aia nā mea kaua nuklear, aia paha e hoʻohana ʻia ia mau mea. Ua kaua ʻia nā kaua no nā makahiki he mau kaukani, me nā mea kaua ikaika loa i lawe pinepine ʻia i loko o ka pāʻani. Hoʻohana ʻia nā mea kaua nukelea me ke kanalua ʻole e ke aupuni US ma 1945 a, ʻoiai ʻaʻole lākou e hana ʻia i ke kaua mai ia manawa, pehea ka lōʻihi e hiki ai iā mākou ke manaʻo me ka ʻole o ka kaomi ʻia e nā aupuni ʻenemi.
Eia kekahi, inā hōʻole nā aupuni i ka hoʻohana ʻana iā lākou no ke kaua, koe ka makaʻu o kā lākou pahū e nā mea hoʻoweliweli hoʻoweliweli a i ʻole ma ka ulia wale. Ma mua o he hoʻokahi'ākani hōʻailona pili pū me nā mea kaua nukle US ma waena o 1950 a 1968 wale nō. He mea nui ʻole ka hapa nui, akā hiki i nā mea ʻē aʻe ke hōʻino. ʻOiai ʻaʻohe o nā pōkā nukelea i hoʻoneʻe ʻia, nā pahi kaua, a me nā poʻo kaua-ʻo kekahi o ia mau mea ʻaʻole i loaʻa ― pahū, ʻaʻole paha mākou e laki i ka wā e hiki mai ana.
Eia kekahi, kumu kūʻai nui nā mea kaua nukelea. I kēia manawa, hoʻolālā ke aupuni US e hoʻolilo $ 1 trillion i loko o nā makahiki he 30 e hiki mai ana e hōʻano hou i ka paukū mea kaua o US. Kūpono paha kēia? Hāʻawi ʻia i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o ka lilo ʻana o ka pūʻali koa i ka nau 54 pakeneka o ka hoʻolālā maikaʻiʻana o ke aupuni pekelala,ʻo ka hōʻailona $ 1 hou no nā lakohana kaua "hoʻokau hou" e puka mai ana mai loko mai o nā mea i koe e waiho nei i ke kālā no ka hoʻonaʻauao aupuni, ke olakino, a me nā polokalamu'ē aʻe.
Eia hou, ʻo ka hoʻolaha ʻana o nā mea kaua nukelea i nā ʻāina hou aku he mea mau ia e weliweli ai. ʻO ke Kuʻikahi Nukle Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) o 1968 he kuʻikahi ma waena o nā lāhui non-nuklei a me nā lāhui nukili-mea kaua, me ka mea mua e haʻalele ana i nā mea kaua nukleila a ʻo ka mea hope loa i hoʻopau i kā lākou mau mea kaua nukelea. Akā ʻo ka paʻa ʻana o nā mana nukelea i nā mea kaua nukelea ke hoʻopau nei i ka makemake o nā lāhui ʻē aʻe e kū i ka kuʻikahi.
ʻO ka mea ʻē aʻe, ʻo ka hōʻemi kaua nuklear e hopena i kekahi mau pono maoli i United States. ʻO ka hōʻemi nui ʻana o ka 2,000 mau mea kaua nuklea US i hoʻoili ʻia a puni ka honua e hōʻemi ana i nā pōpilikia nuklea a mālama i ke aupuni US he nui loa o ke kālā e hiki ai ke hoʻopukapuka i nā polokalamu kūloko a hoʻihoʻi wale ʻia paha i nā ʻauhau ʻoluʻolu. Eia pū, me kēia hōʻike o ka mahalo i ke kūkaʻi i hana ʻia ma lalo o ka NPT, e emi ana ka makemake o nā lāhui non-nukelea e hoʻomaka i nā polokalamu mea kaua nukelea.
E hoʻoulu pū kekahi nā ʻōnaehana nukelea US unilateral i nā kaomi e hahai i ke alakaʻi ʻana o US. Inā hoʻolaha ke aupuni o ʻAmelika i nā mea hōʻemi i kāna mea kaua nukelea, ʻoiai e ʻaʻa ana i ka Kremlin e hana like, e hoʻohilahila ia i ke aupuni Lūkini ma mua o ka manaʻo o ka lehulehu, nā aupuni o nā aupuni ʻē aʻe, a me kāna lehulehu. Ma ka hopena, me ka nui o ka loaʻa a me ka liʻiliʻi e nalo ma ke komo ʻana i nā hoʻoneʻe nukelea, hoʻomaka paha ʻo Kremlin e hana pū iā lākou.
Kuhi ka poʻe kūʻē i nā hōʻemi nukelea e pono e mālama ʻia nā mea kaua nukelea, no ka mea, he "deterrent" lākou. Akā hana ʻiʻo anei ka mea nukelea? ʻO Ronald Reagan, kekahi o nā pelekikena ʻoi loa ka manaʻo o ka pūʻali koa o ʻAmelika, i ka wā pinepine i kāpae aku i nā ʻōlelo lewa i kā US mea kaua nukelea i kāohi i ka hoʻouka kaua Soviet, me ka pane ʻana: "Malia paha ua loaʻa kekahi mau mea ʻē aʻe." Eia kekahi, ua kaua nā mana nukila ʻole i nā kaua he nui me nā mana nukelea (me ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa a me ka Soviet Union) mai ka makahiki 1945. No ke aha lākou i ālai ʻole ai?
ʻOiaʻiʻo,ʻo ka nui o ka noʻonoʻoʻana e nānā i ka palekana mai 'ōpuni hoʻouka kaua i hāʻawi ʻia i nā mea kaua nukelea. Akā, ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo nā luna aupuni o US, ʻoiai kā lākou armada nui nukelea, ʻaʻole lākou i manaʻo e palekana loa. Pehea hou aʻe e hiki ai iā mākou ke wehewehe i kā lākou hoʻokomo kālā nui i kahi ʻōnaehana pale kaua missile? Eia kekahi, no ke aha lākou i hopohopo nui ai e pili ana i ke aupuni ʻInikia e kiʻi i nā mea kaua nukelea? Ma hope o nā mea āpau, pono i ka aupuni o US he mau kaukani o nā mea kaua nukelea e hoʻohuli iā lākou ʻaʻole pono e hopohopo e pili ana i ka loaʻa ʻana o nā mea kaua nuklea e Iran a i ʻole kekahi aupuni ʻē aʻe.
Eia kekahi,ʻoiai inā he pāpā kaua hana hana, no ke aha e koi ai ʻo Wakinekona i nā mea kaua nukleila he 2,000 e hōʻoia i kona hopena? A 2002 like ua hoʻoholo ʻo ia, inā hoʻohana wale ʻia nā mea kaua 300 US e hōʻeha i nā pahuhopu Lūkini, 90 miliona mau Lūkini (mai kahi lehulehu o 144 miliona) e make i ka hapalua hola mua. Eia kekahi, i loko o nā mahina e hiki mai ana, ʻo ka luku nui i hana ʻia e ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana ka hopena o ka make ʻana o ka hapa nui o nā mea i pakele e nā ʻeha, nā maʻi, ka pā ʻana, a me ka wī. ʻOiai ʻaʻole i loaʻa i kahi Lūkia a aupuni ʻē aʻe paha kēia i kahi hopena ʻoluʻolu.
ʻO kēia mākaukau kiʻekiʻe e hoʻomaopopo paha i ke kumu o ka Nā Hui Hanohano o nā US e noʻonoʻo ua lawa nā mea kaua nukleo he 1,000 e palekana ai i ka maluhia aupuni o US. E wehewehe paha ia no ke aha e ʻaʻohe o kekahi o nā mana ʻehiku ʻē aʻe (Pelekane, Palani, Kina, Israel, India, Pakistan, a me Kōlea ʻĀkau) e mālama i nā mea hou aʻe 300 mau mea hoʻoneʻe kaua.
ʻOiai he mea weliweli paha ka hana unilateral e hōʻemi i nā pilikia nukelea, ua lawe ʻia i nā manawa he nui me ka hopena maikaʻi ʻole. Ua kāpae unilaterally ke aupuni Soviet i ka hoʻāʻo ʻana i nā mea kaua nukelea i 1958 a, hou, i ka makahiki 1985. I ka hoʻomaka ʻana i ka makahiki 1989, ua hoʻomaka pū ʻo ia e hemo i kāna mau missiles nukelika tactical mai ʻEulopa Hema. Pēlā nō, ke aupuni US, i ka wā o ka pelekikena o US ʻo George HW Bush, ua hanaʻoleʻia e hoʻoneʻe i nā mea kaua a pau o US me ka hoʻopuni i nā mea kaua ma Europe a me Asia, a me nā puʻupuʻu kaua a pau loa o nā moku Navy Moku'āina a puni ka honua-ʻo kaʻokiʻokiʻana o nā'āpana hekanika he tausani.
ʻIke nō, ke kūkākūkā ʻana i kahi kuʻikahi kūwaho i pāpā ʻia a luku ʻia i nā mea kaua nukelima ke ala maikaʻi loa e hoʻopau ai i nā pōpilikia nuklea. Akā ʻaʻole pono ia e pale i nā hana kūpono ʻē aʻe mai ka lawe ʻia ʻana ma ke ala.
