Ndi David Swanson
Chivundikiro cha January-February 2015 Atlantic akufunsa "Chifukwa Chiyani Asirikali Opambana Padziko Lonse Akutayikirabe?" zomwe zimatsogolera ku m'nkhaniyi, omwe sungayankhe funsolo.
Cholinga chachikulu cha nkhaniyi ndi chidziwitso chodziwikiratu chomwe ambiri a US-America sali nawo usilikali. Nkhaniyo ikuphatikiza ndi wina akulengeza zolemba. Zomwe zafotokozedwa m'nkhani yaikulu ndi yakuti chifukwa chakuti anthu ambiri amachotsedwa ku usilikali amakhala okonzeka kuwatumiza ku nkhondo zopanda phindu.
Palibe paliponse pomwe wolemba, a James Fallows, amayesa kutchulapo zomwe zimapangitsa kuti nkhondoyi isagonjetsedwe. Amanenanso kuti nkhondo yomaliza yomwe idapambana United States inali Gulf War. Koma sangatanthauze kuti yathetsa mavuto. Imeneyi inali nkhondo yotsatiridwa ndi kuphulitsidwa kwa bomba ndi ziletso ndipo, ndikutsitsimutsidwa kobwerezabwereza kwa nkhondoyi, komwe kukupitilira ndipo kukukulira ngakhale pano.
Zomwe Fallows ayenera kutanthauza ndikuti gulu lankhondo laku US litachita zomwe lingathe kuchita - kuphulitsa zinthu - mu Gulf War, zidasiya. M'masiku oyambilira ku Afghanistan mu 2001 ndi Iraq 2003 kudakhala "zigonjetso" zofananira, monganso Libya 2011 ndi nkhondo zina zambiri zaku US. Chifukwa chomwe a Fallows amanyalanyaza Libya sindikudziwa, koma Iraq ndi Afghanistan zangotayika m'buku lake, ndikuganiza, osati chifukwa palibe zomwe zikuchitika kapena chifukwa asitikali ndi Congress achita ziphuphu ndikupanga zida zolakwika, koma chifukwa ataphulitsa zonse , asitikali anakhalapobe kwazaka zambiri akuyesera kuti apange anthu onga iwo mwa kupha anzawo ndi abale awo. Ntchito zotere sizingatheke, monga ku Vietnam ndi malo ena ambiri, chifukwa anthu sangawavomereze, komanso chifukwa choti kuyesayesa kwa asitikali kuti apange kuvomereza kulibe phindu. Asitikali abwinoko omwe amadzitsutsa, kusanja ndalama, komanso kuwerengera bajeti sikungasinthe izi ngakhale pang'ono.
Kutsutsana kwa a fallows kuti palibe amene amasamala za nkhondo ndi zankhondo saphonya mfundoyi, koma yatchulidwanso. "Sindikudziwa," akulemba, "za mpikisano wapakatikati wa Nyumba Yamalamulo kapena Nyumba Yamalamulo momwe nkhani za nkhondo ndi mtendere. . . zinali zoyambirira za kampeni. ” Aiwala chaka cha 2006 pomwe anthu omwe adatuluka pazovota adawonetsa kutha kwa nkhondo yaku Iraq ngati woyambitsa woyamba wa ovota pambuyo poti anthu ambiri atsutsa nkhondo yomwe iwonjezeke atangofika kumene.
Kugonjetsanso kumapangitsa kuti anthu asapatukane ndi asilikali. Amakhulupirira kuti n'zosatheka kuseka asilikali omwe amapezeka pachikhalidwe chawo, ndipo chifukwa chakuti, anthu ambiri anali pafupi ndi ankhondo kupyolera mwa abwenzi ndi abwenzi. Koma izi zimalepheretsa anthu onse ku America kuti azikhala osakhulupirika komanso chikhalidwe cha chikhalidwe cha US chomwe sichinawonetseke kuti chimachotsedwa.
Achifwamba akuganiza kuti Obama sakanatha kupangitsa aliyense "kuyembekezera" ndikupewa kulingalira za masoka ankhondo ngati "anthu aku America atakhudzidwa ndi zomwe zachitika chifukwa cha nkhondo." Palibe kukayika, koma kodi yankho lavutoli ndi maphunziro kapena pang'ono chabe? Sizitengera zambiri kufotokozera ophunzira aku US aku koleji kuti ngongole za ophunzira sizimveka m'maiko ena omwe amamenya nkhondo zochepa. US yapha amuna, akazi, ndi ana ochulukirapo, idadzipangitsa kudedwa, idapangitsa dziko lapansi kukhala loopsa kwambiri, kuwononga chilengedwe, kutaya ufulu wachibadwidwe, ndikuwononga madola mamiliyoni ambirimbiri omwe akanatha kugwiritsa ntchito bwino ndalama zina. Cholemba sichingachite chilichonse kuti anthu adziwe za izi. Ndipo ma Fallows amangoyang'ana pa mtengo wachuma wankhondo - osati pamitengo 10-yayikulu kwambiri yankhondo yotsimikiziridwa ndi nkhondo - amalimbikitsa kuvomereza zomwe Eisenhower anachenjeza kuti zingabweretse nkhondo zambiri.
Khama la anzanu kuti ayang'ane cham'mbuyo likuwonekeranso kuti laphonya nkhondo zaku US. Palibe cholembera chomwe chingatipangitse kukhala ma drones, omwe amayendetsa ndege zawo zomwe zimaponyedwa kunkhondo.
Komabe, Mitsinje ali ndi mfundo. Ndizodabwitsa kwambiri kuti phindu lochepa kwambiri, lopweteka kwambiri, loposa kwambiri, pulogalamu yowononga kwambiri yowononga anthu ndizosavomerezeka ndipo zimadalirika komanso zimalemekezedwa ndi anthu ambiri. Uwu ndiwo ntchito yomwe inakhazikitsa mawu akuti SNAFU kwa godsake, ndipo anthu ali okonzeka kukhulupilira nkhani zake zonse zakutchire. Gareth Porter Akufotokoza chisankho chodziwikiratu chokhazikitsanso nkhondo yaku Iraq ku 2014 ngati kuwerengera ndale, osati ngati njira yosangalatsira opindulitsa, ndipo osati ngati njira yokwaniritsira chilichonse. Zachidziwikire, opindulitsa pankhondo amagwira ntchito molimbika kuti apange mtundu wa anthu omwe amalimbikira kapena kulekerera nkhondo zambiri, ndipo kuwerengera ndale kungakhale kokhudzana ndi osangalatsa kuposa anthu wamba. Ndikofunikirabe kukhazikitsa ngati vuto lalikulu pachikhalidwe patsogolo pathu - kuphatikiza kukana nyengo - kuti anthu ambiri ali okonzeka kusangalala ndi nkhondo komanso kuvomereza chuma chamuyaya cha nkhondo. Chilichonse chomwe chikugwedeza vutoli chiyenera kuwomberedwa. http://warisacrime.org
