Muyenera kuchenjeza kuti American akukonzekera ndalama zoposa $ 1 trilioni m'zaka zotsatira za 30 kupititsa patsogolo mphamvu za nyukiliya zidzathetsa mphamvu zowononga zida ndikupangira mpikisano watsopano. Koma sikokwanira kuti tisiye dongosolo loopsya, la mtengo wapatali lokulitsa luso lathu lowononga dziko lapansi.

Mayiko a United States amachititsa kuti zida za nyukiliya zisokoneze ntchito zawo: zida zankhondo zankhondo za nyukiliya zidzakana kupezana wina ndi mzake chifukwa choopa zotsutsana ndi mavuto omwe angakumane nawo. Komabe tikudziwa zoposa khumi ndi ziwiri pamene mayiko okhala ndi zida za nyukiliya anayamba kuyambitsa zida zawo za nyukiliya, kawirikawiri ndi chikhulupiriro cholakwika chakuti adani awo anali atachita kale - nthawi zoposa khumi ndi ziwiri pamene kulephera kunalephera.

Ndipo tikuuzidwa kuti North Korea sayenera kupeza mphamvu ya nyukiliya chifukwa sizingatheke kuti zisawonongeke. Ndi nthawi yakusiya ndondomeko yolepherayi ndikutsata chitetezo chenicheni cha dziko lopanda zida za nyukiliya.

Chigogomezero chanu chakuti "kuyambira pakuchotsa zaka za nyukiliya, America yakhala yayikulu, ngakhalenso opanda ungwiro, yotsutsa zoletsa zomwe zilipo"
amanyalanyaza mbiri yachisoni ya kuwonjezereka kwa United States kwa zida zake zankhondo za nyukiliya ndi mapulogalamu ogulitsa katundu komanso kukana zoperekedwa zambiri kuchokera ku Russia, China komanso North Korea kuti athetse nkhondo.

Yambani ndi Pulezidenti Harry S. Truman kukana pempho la Stalin la 1946 loletsa zida za nyukiliya pansi pa ulamuliro wa United Nations; Pulezidenti Ronald Reagan akukana pempho la Mikhail S. Gorbachev kukambirana kuti athetse zida za nyukiliya
Reagan akuvomereza kuti asayambe kupambana ndi msilikali mlengalenga ndi pulogalamu ya "Star Wars," imene Reagan anakana.

Mofananamo, taganizirani za Vladimir V. Putin kupatsa Purezidenti Bill Clinton kuchepetsa zida zathu ku 1,500 kapena 1,000 aliyense ndikuyitanitsa zida zina za nyukiliya kuti ziyanjanitse kuti ziwonongeke, pokhapokha ngati tasiya kulemba maziko osokoneza bongo ku Poland ndi Romania. Clinton anakana. Ndipo pulezidenti George W. Bush adachoka pamsonkhano wa Misasa ya 1972 Antiballist yomwe inagwirizana ndi Soviet Union.

Ku North Korea, zikuonekeratu kuti utsogoleri wake ukufuna zokambirana, osati nkhondo. Dziko la North Korea ndilo lokhalo la zida zankhondo zakuda za nyukiliya zomwe zikuvotera zokambirana kuti zithetse bomb yomaliza mu October ku United Nations.

Ndiponso, Senate inavomereza 98 ku 2 kuti ikhazikitse chilango chatsopano ku North Korea, Russia ndi Iran. Ndi chikhalidwe chotani choletsa zimenezo?

Zomwe bungwe la Trump ndi ena ku Congress likugwiritsa ntchito $ 1 trillion pazatsopano za zida za nyukiliya ndizoopsa kwambiri. Nkhondo ya nyukiliya sangathe kupambana ndipo sayenera kumenyedwa. Nkhondo yokhayokha yokhayokha yomwe ingagwiritsidwe ntchito ndi imodzi yomwe imalola kuti chigwirizano chachiwiri (kubwezera) chikhale cholimba.

M'malo mwake, okonza zida ndi okonza nkhondo apanga zida zankhanza zochuluka kwambiri. Nkhondo yatsopano ya nyukiliya yoyendetsa ndege idzafupikitsa nthawi za nyukiliya ndi zoopsa zomwe zingasokoneze mavuto.

Boma la Trump posachedwapa linayankha zokambirana za United Nations kuti zithetse zida za nyukiliya. Mgwirizano wa Nuclear Nonproliferation ukufuna kuti mphamvu za nyukiliya zomwe zilipo zitha kusunthira njirayi pobwezera kusagwirizana ndi mayiko ena. Kugwiritsa ntchito ndalama zokwana madola trillion pa zida zatsopano za nyukiliya kungogula kusasamala konse padziko lonse.
