Ka wehe ʻana i nā aka: ka wehe ʻana i nā ʻoiaʻiʻo o nā kahua koa kaua o ʻAmelika ma 2023

Na Mohammed Abunahel, World BEYOND War, Mei 30, 2023

ʻO ka noho ʻana o nā pūʻali koa US ma nā ʻāina ʻē he kumu hopohopo a hoʻopaʻapaʻa no nā makahiki he mau makahiki. Ke ho'āʻo neiʻoʻAmelika Hui PūʻIa e'āpono i kēia mau kumu e like me ka mea e pono ai no ka palekana aupuni a me ka paʻa honua; akā naʻe, nele pinepine kēia mau manaʻo i ka manaʻoʻiʻo. A loaʻa i kēia mau kumu nā hopena maikaʻi ʻole i ʻike nui ʻia. ʻO ka pōʻino i loaʻa i kēia mau kahua pili pili i ko lākou helu, ʻoiai he aupuni o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa o nā kahua kaua kahi i napoʻo ʻole ai ka lā, ma kahi o 100 mau ʻāina a ua manaʻo ʻia aia ma kahi o 900 mau kahua, e like me kahi Mea Hana ʻIkepili ʻIkepili hanaia ma World BEYOND War (WBW). No laila, ma hea kēia mau kumu? Ma hea kahi i hoʻonoho ʻia ai nā limahana US? Ehia ka nui o ka United States e hoʻolilo ai i ka militarism?

Ke hoʻopaʻapaʻa nei au ʻaʻole ʻike a maopopo ʻole ka helu pololei o kēia mau kumu, no ka mea, ʻo ke kumu kumu nui, ʻo ka 'Oihana o ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo Defence (DoD) hōʻike i hoʻopunipuni ʻia, a nele i ka ʻike a me ka hilinaʻi. Manaʻo ʻo DoD e hāʻawi i nā kikoʻī piha ʻole no nā kumu ʻike a ʻike ʻole ʻia.

Ma mua o ka lele ʻana i nā kikoʻī, pono ia e wehewehe: he aha nā waihona US ma waho? ʻO nā waihona o nā ʻāina ʻē he mau wahi kikoʻī ʻokoʻa ma waho o ka palena ʻo US, nona paha, hoʻolimalima ʻia, a i ʻole ma lalo o ka mana o ka DOD ma ke ʻano o nā ʻāina, nā mokupuni, nā hale, nā mea pono, nā keʻena kauoha a me nā keʻena hoʻomalu, nā kikowaena logistics, nā ʻāpana o nā mokulele, a i ʻole nā ​​awa moana. ʻO kēia mau wahi he mau pūʻali koa i hoʻokumu ʻia a hoʻohana ʻia e nā pūʻali koa US ma nā ʻāina ʻē e hoʻokau i nā pūʻali koa, alakaʻi i nā hana kaua, a hoʻolālā i ka mana pūʻali koa US ma nā wahi nui a puni ka honua a i ʻole e mālama i nā mea kaua nuklea.

ʻO ka mōʻaukala nui o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa o ka hana kaua mau e pili kokoke ana i kāna pūnaewele nui o nā kahua kaua o nā ʻāina ʻē. Ma kahi o 900 mau kumu i hoʻopuehu ʻia ma nā ʻāina ʻoi aku ma mua o 100, ua hoʻokumu ʻo US i kahi noho honua ʻaʻole i hoʻohālikelike ʻia e kekahi lāhui ʻē aʻe, me Russia a me Kina.

ʻO ka hui pū ʻana o ka mōʻaukala nui o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa o ka hana kaua a me kāna pūnaewele nui o nā kahua o nā ʻāina ʻē e paʻi i kahi kiʻi paʻakikī o kāna kuleana i ka hana ʻana i ka honua. ʻO ka moʻolelo lōʻihi o ka hana kaua ʻana a ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa e hōʻike hou ana i ke koʻikoʻi o kēia mau kahua o waho. ʻO ka loaʻa ʻana o kēia mau waihona e hōʻike ana i ka mākaukau o US e hoʻomaka i kahi kaua hou. Ua hilinaʻi ka pūʻali koa US i kēia mau hoʻonohonoho no ke kākoʻo ʻana i kāna mau hoʻolaha kaua like ʻole a me nā hana i loko o ka mōʻaukala. Mai nā kapakai o ʻEulopa a hiki i nā ākea ākea o ka ʻāina ʻo ʻAsia-Pākīpika, ua hana koʻikoʻi kēia mau waihona i ka hoʻomau ʻana i nā hana pūʻali koa US a me ka hōʻoia ʻana i ka noho aliʻi ʻana o ʻAmelika i nā hana honua.

E like me ka ʻO ke kumukūʻai o ke kaua ma ke Kulanui ʻo Brown, 20 makahiki ma hope o ka hanana ʻana o 9/11, ua hoʻolilo ʻo ʻAmelika i $ 8 trillion ma kāna mea i kapa ʻia ʻo "kaua honua i ka weliweli." Ua manaʻo kēia haʻawina he $300 miliona i ka lā no 20 mau makahiki. Ua make pololei kēia mau kaua i kahi i manaʻo ʻia 6 miliona kanaka.

I ka makahiki 2022, ua lilo ka US i $876.94 Billion ma kona pūʻali koa, ʻo ia ka mea i lilo ai ʻo US i mea hoʻolimalima koa nui loa ma ka honua. Ua aneane like keia hoolilo me ka lilo o na aina he umikumamakahi no ko lakou mau koa, oia hoi: Kina, Rusia, Inia, Saudi Arabia, Beritania Nui, Geremania, Palani, Korea (Repubalika o), Iapana, Ukraine, a me Kanada; ʻo kā lākou huina kālā he $875.82 biliona. Hōʻike ka Figure 1 i nā ʻāina hoʻolimalima kiʻekiʻe ma ka honua. (No ka ʻike hou aku, e ʻoluʻolu e ʻike iā WBW's ʻO ka Militarism ka palapala ʻāina).

Aia kekahi pilikia ma ka hoʻouna ʻana o US i kāna mau pūʻali koa a puni ka honua. ʻO kēia hoʻolālā e pili ana i nā hana kūpono e hoʻoneʻe i nā limahana koa a me nā kumuwaiwai mai ko lākou home home i kahi i koho ʻia. I ka makahiki 2023, ʻo 150,851 ka nui o nā limahana US i hoʻonoho ʻia ma nā kahua ʻē aʻe (ʻAʻole kēia helu i ka nui o nā limahana Navy ma Armed Forces Europe a i ʻole Armed Forces Pacific a i ʻole nā ​​​​mea "kūikawā" āpau, CIA, mercenaries, contractors, i komo i kekahi mau kaua. (Syria, Ukraine, etc.) Aia ʻo Iapana ka heluna kiʻekiʻe loa o nā pūʻali koa US ma ka honua a ukali ʻia e Korea (Repubalika o) a me Italia, me 69,340, 14,765 a me 13,395, e like me ka mea i ʻike ʻia ma ke Kiʻi 2. (No ka mea hou aku. nā kikoʻī, e ʻoluʻolu e ʻike ʻO ka Militarism ka palapala ʻāina).

ʻO ka hele ʻana o nā pūʻali koa US ma nā kahua ʻē aʻe ua pili pū me nā hopena maikaʻi ʻole. Ma nā wahi a pau i loaʻa kahi kumu, aia nā manawa i hoʻopiʻi ʻia ai nā koa US no ka hana hewa ʻana, me nā hihia o ka hoʻouka ʻana, hoʻopaʻapaʻa, a me nā hewa ʻē aʻe.

Eia kekahi, hiki i ka noho ʻana o nā kahua kaua a me nā hana ke loaʻa i nā hopena kaiapuni. ʻO nā hana koa, me nā hoʻomaʻamaʻa hoʻomaʻamaʻa, hiki ke kōkua i ka pollution a me ka pōʻino o ke kaiapuni. ʻO ka lawelawe ʻana i nā mea ʻino a me ka hopena o ka ʻoihana koa i nā kaiaola kūloko hiki ke hoʻopilikia i ke kaiapuni a me ke olakino lehulehu.

E like me ka Mea Hana ʻIkepili ʻIkepili hanaia ma World BEYOND War, Aia ʻo Kelemania i ka helu kiʻekiʻe loa o nā waihona US ma ka honua a ukali ʻia e Iapana a me South Korea, me 172, 99 a me 62, e like me ka mea i ʻike ʻia ma ke Kiʻi 3.

Ma muli o nā hōʻike DoD, hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale nui ʻia nā kahua kahua kaua US i ʻelua mau ʻāpana:

• Nā kumu nui: he kahua kahua/koa hoʻonoho ʻia ma kahi ʻāina ʻē, ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o 10 ʻeka (4 ʻeka) a ʻoi aku paha ka waiwai ma mua o $10 miliona. Hoʻokomo ʻia kēia mau waihona i loko o nā hōʻike DoD, a ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo kēlā me kēia o kēia mau kahua i ʻoi aku ma mua o 200 mau pūʻali koa US. ʻOi aku ma mua o ka hapalua o nā waihona ma waho o US i helu ʻia ma lalo o kēia ʻāpana.
• Nā kumu liʻiliʻi: he kahua kahua/koa i hoʻonoho ʻia ma kahi ʻāina ʻē, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi ma mua o 10 mau ʻeka (4 ʻeka) a i ʻole ka waiwai ma lalo o $10 miliona. ʻAʻole komo kēia mau wahi i nā hōʻike DoD.

Ma ka Hikina Waena, ka Al Udeid Air Hewa ʻo ia ka hoʻokomo pūʻali koa US nui loa. Ke mālama nei ʻo ʻAmelika i kahi pūʻali koa koʻikoʻi ma ka Middle East. Hōʻike ʻia kēia hele ʻana e ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana o nā pūʻali koa, nā kahua, a me nā waiwai koa like ʻole ma ka ʻāina. ʻO nā ʻāina koʻikoʻi e hoʻokipa ana i nā pūʻali koa US ma ka ʻāina ʻo Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, a me United Arab Emirates. Eia kekahi, ke hana nei ka US Navy i nā waiwai naval ma ke Kaiwa Persian a me ke Kai Arabian.

ʻO kekahi laʻana ʻo ʻEulopa. He home ʻo ʻEulopa ma kahi o 324 mau kumu, ka hapa nui ma Kelemānia, Italia a me United Kingdom. ʻO ka hub nui loa no nā pūʻali koa US a me nā lako kaua ma ʻEulopa ʻo Ramstein Air Base ma Kelemānia.

Eia kekahi, ma ʻEulopa ponoʻī, ua loaʻa iā US nā mea kaua i ehiku a ewalu paha kumu. Hāʻawi ka Papa 1 i kahi ʻike i kahi o nā mea kaua nuklea US ma ʻEulopa, e nānā pono ana i nā kumu he nui a me kā lākou helu poma a me nā kikoʻī. ʻO ka mea nui, ua mālama ʻia ka RAF Lakenheath o United Kingdom 110 mau mea kaua nukelea US a hiki i 2008, a ke manaʻo nei ka US e mālama hou i nā mea kaua nuklea ma laila, ʻoiai ʻo Russia e hahai ana i ka US model a manaʻo e mālama i nā nukes ma Belarus. Ke kū nei ʻo Incirlik Air Base o Turkey me ka helu poma o 90, nona ka 50 B61-3 a me 40 B61-4.

Papa 1: US Nuclear Weapons ma ʻEulopa

ʻO ka hoʻokumu ʻia ʻana o kēia mau pūʻali koa US a puni ka honua he moʻolelo paʻakikī i hui pū ʻia me ka dinamika geopolitical a me nā hoʻolālā kaua. ʻO kekahi o kēia mau hoʻonohonoho kino i hoʻokumu ʻia mai ka ʻāina i loaʻa ma ke ʻano he waiwai pio o ke kaua, e hōʻike ana i nā hopena o nā hakakā mōʻaukala a me nā hoʻololi ʻāina. ʻO ka hoʻomau ʻana a me ka hana ʻana o kēia mau waihona e hilinaʻi ʻia i nā ʻaelike hui pū me nā aupuni hoʻokipa, i kekahi mau manawa, ua pili pū me nā aupuni mana a i ʻole nā ​​aupuni hoʻokaumaha e loaʻa ai kekahi mau pōmaikaʻi mai ke alo o kēia mau waihona.

ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ʻo ka hoʻokumu ʻana a me ka mālama ʻana i kēia mau kumu i loaʻa pinepine i ka uku o nā heluna kanaka a me nā kaiāulu. I nā manawa he nui, ua hoʻoneʻe ʻia ka poʻe mai ko lākou mau home a me ko lākou ʻāina no ke kūkulu ʻana i nā hale koa. He hopena koʻikoʻi ko kēia neʻe ʻana i ka pilikanaka a me ka hoʻokele waiwai, ka hoʻonele ʻana i ke ola o nā kānaka, ka hoʻohaunaele ʻana i ke ʻano o ke ola kuʻuna, a me ka hoʻopau ʻana i ka lole o nā kaiāulu kūloko.

Eia kekahi, ʻo ka loaʻa ʻana o kēia mau kumu i kōkua i nā pilikia kūlohelohe. ʻO ka nui o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ʻāina a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā ʻenehana i koi ʻia no kēia mau hoʻonohonoho i alakaʻi i ka neʻe ʻana o nā hana mahiʻai a me ka nalowale o nā ʻāina mahiʻai waiwai. Eia hou, ua hoʻokomo ka hana o kēia mau waihona i ka haumia nui i nā ʻōnaehana wai kūloko a me ka ea, e hoʻopilikia ana i ke olakino a me ka maikaʻi o nā kaiāulu a me nā kaiaola. ʻO ka hele ʻole ʻana o kēia mau pūʻali koa i hoʻopilikia pinepine i ka pilina ma waena o ka poʻe hoʻokipa a me nā pūʻali noho - ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa - e hoʻoulu ana i nā ʻāʻī a me nā hopohopo e pili ana i ke aupuni a me ke kūʻokoʻa.

He mea nui e hoʻomaopopo i nā hopena paʻakikī a me nā ʻano like ʻole e pili ana i kēia mau kahua kaua. ʻO ka hoʻokumu ʻana a me ka hoʻomau ʻana i ka noho ʻana ʻaʻole i nele i nā hopena pilikanaka, kaiapuni, a me ka politika no nā ʻāina hoʻokipa a me ko lākou poʻe kamaʻāina. E mau ana kēia mau pilikia i ka wā e noho ana kēia mau kumu.
