Ndi Robert C. Koehler, World BEYOND War, January 4, 2023
Kodi demokalase ndi chiyani koma malingaliro ndi malikhweru agalu? Mayendedwe adziko adakonzedweratu mwakachetechete - sikuli kutsutsana. Ntchito ya pulezidenti ndikuigulitsa kwa anthu; munganene kuti iye ndi mkulu woyang'anira za ubale wa anthu:
“. . . Ulamuliro wanga adzagwira zaka khumi zotsimikizirika zopititsa patsogolo zofuna za America, kuyika dziko la United States kuti ligonjetse opikisana nawo pazandale, kuthana ndi zovuta zomwe timagawana, ndikukhazikitsa dziko lathu panjira yopita ku mawa lowala komanso lachiyembekezo. . . . Sitidzasiya tsogolo lathu kukhala pachiwopsezo cha anthu amene safuna kukhala ndi masomphenya a dziko laufulu, lotseguka, lotukuka, ndi lotetezeka.”
Awa ndi mawu a Purezidenti Biden, m'mawu ake oyamba a National Security Strategy, omwe amafotokoza mapulani aku America pazaka khumi zikubwerazi. Zikumveka ngati zomveka, mpaka mutaganizira zinthu zomwe sizingakambirane pagulu, monga, mwachitsanzo:
The bajeti ya chitetezo cha dziko, yomwe yakhazikitsidwa posachedwa mu 2023 pa $ 858 biliyoni ndipo, monga kale, yokulirapo kuposa ndalama zonse zankhondo zapadziko lonse zitaphatikizidwa. Ndipo, eya, kusinthika kwamakono - kumangidwanso - kwa zida zanyukiliya za dziko pazaka makumi atatu zikubwerazi pamtengo woyerekeza pafupifupi $ 2 thililiyoni. Monga Nyukiliya Watch inati: “Mwachidule, ili dongosolo la zida zanyukiliya kosatha.”
Ndipo zotsirizirazi, ndithudi, zidzapita patsogolo ngakhale kuti mu 2017 maiko a dziko lapansi - chabwino, ambiri a iwo (voti ku United Nations inali 122-1) - adavomereza Pangano la Kuletsa Zida za Nyukiliya, zomwe zimaletsa kugwiritsa ntchito, kupanga ndi kukhala ndi zida zanyukiliya. Mayiko makumi asanu adavomereza panganoli pofika Januware 2021, ndikupangitsa kuti likhale lenileni padziko lonse lapansi; zaka ziŵiri pambuyo pake, chiwonkhetso cha maiko 68 anachivomereza, ndipo ena 23 ali mkati mochita zimenezo. Osati zokhazo, monga H. Patricia Hynes akuti, mameya amizinda yopitilira 8,000 padziko lonse lapansi akufuna kuti zida zanyukiliya zithe.
Ndikunena izi kuti ndiwonetse mawu a Biden moyenera. Kodi “mawa loŵala bwino ndi lachiyembekezo” amanyalanyaza zofuna za mayiko ambiri ndi kukhalapo kwa zikwi zikwi za zida za nyukiliya, zomwe zambiri zilibe tcheru? Kodi zikutanthawuza kuthekera kwanthawi zonse kwa nkhondo ndi kupanga ndi kugulitsa kosalekeza kwa chida chilichonse chankhondo chomwe mungachiganizire? Kodi bajeti yapachaka ya "chitetezo" chapafupifupi ya madola trilioni ndiyo njira yoyamba yomwe timafunira "kupambana opikisana nawo pazandale"?
Ndipo apa palinso chowonadi china chomwe chikusoweka m'mawu a Biden: mtengo wosakhala wandalama wankhondo, ndiye kuti, "kuwonongeka kwachuma." Pazifukwa zina, purezidenti amalephera kutchula kuti anthu wamba angati omwe anamwalira - ndi ana angati omwe amafa - zomwe zidzafunike kuti mawa akhale abwino komanso a chiyembekezo. Ndi zipatala zingati zomwe zingakhale zofunikira, mwachitsanzo, kuti tiphulike mwangozi zaka zikubwerazi, pamene tidaphulitsa chipatala ku Kunduz, Afghanistan ku 2015, kupha anthu a 42, 24 omwe anali odwala?
Zolinga za ubale wapagulu sizikuwoneka kuti zilibe mwayi wovomereza mavidiyo opha anthu aku US, monga Kathy Kelly Kufotokozera za vidiyo ya kuphulika kwa mabomba a Kunduz, yomwe inasonyeza pulezidenti wa Doctors Without Borders (aka, Médecins Sans Frontières) akuyenda m'chiwonongeko patangopita nthawi yochepa ndikuyankhula, ndi "chisoni chosaneneka," ku banja la mwana yemwe wangomwalira kumene.
“Madokotala anathandiza mtsikanayo kuti achire,” akulemba motero Kelly, “koma chifukwa chakuti nkhondo inali mkati kunja kwa chipatala, oyang’anira analangiza kuti banjalo libwere tsiku lotsatira. Iwo anati: 'Ali bwino kuno.'
"Mwanayo anali m'gulu la anthu omwe anaphedwa ndi zigawenga za US, zomwe zinkachitika kwa mphindi khumi ndi zisanu, kwa ola limodzi ndi theka, ngakhale kuti MSF inali itapereka kale pempho lopempha asilikali a United States ndi NATO kuti asiye kuphulitsa chipatala."
Iwo amene amakhulupirira kufunikira kwa nkhondo - monga purezidenti - akhoza kudabwa ndi chisoni pamene mwana, mwachitsanzo, aphedwa mwangozi ndi asilikali a US, koma lingaliro la nkhondo limabwera ndi maluwa achisoni: Ndilo vuto. wa mdani. Ndipo sitidzakhala pachiopsezo ku zofuna zake.
Zowonadi, kuyimba mluzu kwa agalu m'mawu achidule a Biden pamwambapa ndikuvomereza modekha cholinga cha US cholimbana ndi mphamvu zamdima padziko lapansi, olamulira, omwe sagawana nawo malingaliro athu a ufulu kwa onse (kupatula atsikana ang'onoang'ono azipatala zophulitsidwa ndi bomba). Iwo omwe, pazifukwa zilizonse, amakhulupirira kufunikira, komanso ulemerero, wa nkhondo, adzamva kugunda kwa bajeti ya asilikali a US kudzera m'mawu ake abwino, okondwa.
Pamene maubwenzi apagulu asokoneza zenizeni, kukambirana moona mtima sikutheka. Ndipo Planet Earth ikufunika kukambitsirana moona mtima za kutha kwa zida za nyukiliya, ndipo, Mulungu atithandize, kuthetsa nkhondo.
Monga Hynes akulemba kuti: "Ngati US ingasinthenso mphamvu zake zachimuna ndi mfundo zakunja zakunja ndikufika ku Russia ndi China ndi cholinga chothetsa zida zanyukiliya ndikuthetsa nkhondo, moyo Padziko Lapansi ukanakhala ndi mwayi wokulirapo."
Kodi ili lingakhale bwanji dziko lokhala ndi mfundo zachilendo zakunja? Kodi anthu aku America angasunthe bwanji kupitilira kukhala owonerera ndi ogula ndikukhala otenga nawo mbali enieni mu mfundo zakunja zaku US? Nayi njira imodzi: the Amalonda a Imfa Khoti Lamilandu Yankhondo, chochitika chapaintaneti chomwe chakonzekera Novembara 10-13, 2023.
Monga momwe Kelly, mmodzi wa okonza makonzedwewo akuchilongosolera kuti: “Khotilo likufuna kusonkhanitsa umboni wonena za upandu wochitidwa ndi anthu ochitidwa ndi awo amene amapanga, kusunga, kugulitsa, ndi kugwiritsira ntchito zida zaupandu motsutsana ndi anthu. Umboni ukufunidwa kuchokera kwa anthu omwe akumana ndi zovuta zankhondo zamakono, opulumuka pankhondo ku Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Gaza, ndi Somalia, kutchula malo ochepa pomwe zida za US zidawopseza anthu omwe amatanthauza. palibe vuto lililonse."
Ozunzidwa ndi nkhondo adzafunsidwa. Iwo amene amenya nkhondo, ndi amene amapindula nayo, adzayankha mlandu ku dziko. Mulungu wanga, izi zikumveka ngati demokalase yeniyeni! Kodi uwu ndi mlingo umene choonadi chimasokoneza malingaliro ankhondo?
Robert Koehler ndi wolemba mphoto, wolemba nyuzipepala ku Chicago komanso wolemba mabuku. Bukhu lake, Kulimba Mtima Kumakula Pachilonda ilipo. Lumikizanani naye kapena pitani patsamba lake pa wambachi.biz.
