Pakati pa Coronavirus, Yakwana Nthawi Yochiritsa Mbiri Yapakhomo ndi Yapadziko Lonse ku US

Ndi munthawi yamavuto, monga mliri womwe ukukula wa coronavirus, kusalinganika kwakukuru komanso kusayendetsa bwino ndalama kwa boma la US kumawululidwa. Theka la anthu aku America amakhala ndi malipiro kuti azilipira. Anthu theka la miliyoni aku America amagona panja m'misewu. Anthu mamiliyoni makumi atatu aku America alibe inshuwaransi yazaumoyo. Mamiliyoni makumi anayi ndi asanu ali olemedwa ndi $ 1.6 thililiyoni ya ngongole za ophunzira. Nditha kupitiriza, koma mfundo ya ziwerengerozi ndikuwunikira kufooka kwa anthu amdera lathu komanso kuthekera kwake kodziwikiratu kuthana ndi zovuta zaumoyo wa anthu komanso mavuto azachuma ngati coronavirus.

Komabe, US ndiye dziko lolemera kwambiri m'mbiri ya dziko lapansi, lomwe lili ndi bajeti yankhondo yofanana ndi mayiko ena onse padziko lapansi kuphatikiza. Kuwonjezera bajeti ya Pentagon, kuphatikizapo ndalama zomwe sizili za Pentagon (mwachitsanzo zida za nyukiliya, zomwe zimaperekedwa kuchokera ku Dipatimenti ya Mphamvu), bajeti ya nkhondo ya US amaposa $1 thililiyoni pachaka. Poyerekeza, bajeti ya Centers of Disease Control (CDC) ndi $ 11 biliyoni chabe. Ndipo talingalirani izi: Pogwiritsa ntchito ziŵerengero za bungwe la United Nations ponena za zimene zikanafunika kuthetsa njala yapadziko lonse, 3% za ndalama zankhondo zaku US zitha kuthetsa njala padziko lapansi.

Chodabwitsa ndichakuti nthawi zonse anthu, makamaka omwe ali pachiwopsezo kwambiri pakati pathu, akabwera pamodzi kuti akonze ndi kulimbikitsa kuwongolera kwakuthupi m'miyoyo yathu komanso kuteteza chilengedwe, kuyankha kwapawailesi ndi boma ndi: "Mupanga bwanji? kulipila?” Titha mwanjira ina kupopera madola mabiliyoni a okhometsa misonkho kunkhondo zosatha ndi kubweza ngongole ku Wall Street, koma osakhala ndi ndalama za koleji yopanda maphunziro, Medicare for All, madzi opanda lead, kapena njira zina zosawerengeka zomwe ndizovomerezeka kwa ambiri. mayiko ena padziko lonse lapansi. Popanda izi zofunika kwa anthu athu, zimakhala zovuta kumeza mkangano woti ndalama zambiri zankhondo zaku US pankhondo zakutali zimapindulitsa anthu aku America.

Demokalase yathu yosweka, yomwe imakhala ndi zokonda zapadera kuposa zofunika za anthu ake, imakayikiranso lingaliro lomwe limabwerezedwa mobwerezabwereza kuti nkhondo zaku US zimathandizira kufalitsa demokalase kunja. Mpaka dziko la US litha kutengera momwe demokalase ikuwonekera, iyenera kusiya kuuza mayiko ena zoyenera kuchita.

Chikhulupiriro chakuti ndalama zathu za $ 1 thililiyoni pachaka zimagwiritsidwa ntchito pothandizira anthu komanso zolimbikitsa demokalase zimabisa mfundo yosavuta yakuti nkhondo sipindulitsa omwe akuzunzidwa. Panthawi ya nkhondo ya Iraq, kafukufuku adapeza kuti ambiri ku US amakhulupirira kuti Iraq ndi bwino chifukwa cha nkhondo. Ambiri mwa aku Iraq, mosiyana, amakhulupirira kuti anali choyipirapo. M'malo mwake, akatswiri a Carnegie Endowment for Peace ndi RAND Corporation apeza kuti nkhondo zomwe cholinga chake ndi kumanga dziko zili ndi chiwongola dzanja chochepa kwambiri mpaka kulibe popanga ma demokalase okhazikika. Ndipo sitiyenera kunyalanyaza mfundo yakuti nkhondo si yothandiza anthu, chifukwa imapha anthu. Ambiri mwa ozunzidwa pankhondo zamakono ndi anthu wamba. Ndipo, mosiyana, kudzipha tsopano ndi amene amapha asilikali a dziko la United States, kusonyeza kuti kutenga nawo mbali pankhondo kumabweretsa mavuto. Pakali pano, nkhondo imadzipitirizira yokha mwa kupanga adani atsopano ndi kukulitsa mkwiyo. Kafukufuku wa 2013 wa Gallup wa mayiko 65 adapeza kuti United States imatengedwa ngati dziko chiopsezo chachikulu pa mtendere padziko lapansi, kutsimikizira chidani ndi kubweza mmbuyo komwe kumabwera chifukwa choyambitsa nkhondo ku US.

Munthawi yamavuto apadziko lonse lapansi pomwe tikulimbana ndi mliri womwe ukukula mwachangu wa coronavirus, ndi nthawi yoti tipange mgwirizano wapadziko lonse lapansi kuti tigwirizane ndi zofunikira zasayansi ndi zamankhwala. US ikhoza kuyamba kuchiritsa mbiri yake yapakhomo ndi yapadziko lonse lapansi potumiza mabiliyoni kuchokera ku bajeti yake yankhondo kupita ku zosowa zenizeni zaumunthu.
