Lachinayi, Epulo 15, New York Times adalemba nkhani mutu, "Momwe US ​​Akukonzekera Kumenya Nkhondo Kutali Asitikali Atatuluka ku Afghanistan," kuti mwina aliyense sanamvetse za tsiku lomwelo mutu, "Biden, Kukhazikitsa Kuchoka Kwa Afghanistan, Akuti 'Ino Ndi Nthawi Yothetsa Nkhondo Yosatha'" monga momwe zikusonyezera kuti nkhondo yaku US ku Afghanistan itha kutha pa Seputembara 11, 2021, pafupifupi zaka 20 zitayamba.

Tidawona nyambo iyi ndikusintha malingaliro asanalengezedwe koyambirira kwa Purezidenti Biden zakumaliza kuthandizira kwa US pa nkhondo yayitali komanso yomvetsa chisoni ku Yemen. M'mawu ake oyamba oyambitsa zakunja, pa February 4, Purezidenti Biden analengeza "Timaliza kuthandizira konse kwa America pakuchita zankhondo pankhondo ku Yemen," nkhondo yomwe Saudi Arabia ndi anzawo adagwirizana kuyambira 2015, nkhondo yomwe adaitcha "tsoka lothandiza komanso lothandiza." Biden adati "Nkhondoyi iyenera kutha."

Monga momwe adalengeza sabata yatha kuti nkhondo yaku US ku Afghanistan ithe, "kufotokozera" kudabwera tsiku lotsatira. Pa February 5^th, oyang'anira a Biden adathetsa lingaliro loti US ikutuluka mu bizinesi yakupha Yemenis kwathunthu ndipo department ya State idapereka mawu, kunena "Chofunikira, izi sizikugwira ntchito pazinthu zoyipa motsutsana ndi ISIS kapena AQAP." Mwanjira ina, chilichonse chomwe chingachitike pankhani yankhondo yomenyedwa ndi a Saudis, nkhondo yomwe US ​​yakhala ikuchita ku Yemen kuyambira 2002, motengera chololeza cha Authorization for Use of Army Force choperekedwa ndi congress yololeza kugwiritsa ntchito Gulu Lankhondo la US Asitikali olimbana ndi omwe adayambitsa ziwopsezo za Seputembara 11, apitilizabe mpaka kalekale, ngakhale kuti ISIS kapena Al Qaeda ku Arabia Peninsula kulibe mu 2001. Izi ena "Ntchito zoyipa" za US zomwe zipitilizabe ku Yemen zikuphatikizapo kunyanyala kwa ma drone, zida zankhondo zapamadzi komanso kuwukira kwa asitikali apadera.

Pomwe zomwe Purezidenti Biden ananena ponena za nkhondo ku Afghanistan sabata yatha anali "Sitichotsa chiwopsezo cha uchigawenga," ndipo "Tidzakonzanso mphamvu zathu zothana ndi uchigawenga komanso chuma chambiri mderali kuti tipewe kuyambiranso uchigawenga kudziko lathu, ”a New York Times sakanakhoza kukhala patali pomwe amatanthauzira mawuwa kuti, "Drones, ndege zophulitsa ndege zotalika komanso maukonde azondi adzagwiritsidwa ntchito poyesa kuletsa Afghanistan kuti isadzayambenso kukhala zigawenga zoopseza United States."

Zikuwoneka kuchokera pazonena zake komanso zochita zake pankhani yankhondo ku Yemen mu February komanso zokhudzana ndi nkhondo ku Afghanistan mu Epulo, kuti Biden sakukhudzidwa kwambiri ndi kuthetsa "nkhondo zamuyaya" monga momwe akuperekera nkhondozi kwa ma drones okhala ndi 500 mabomba a mapaundi ndi zida zankhondo za Hellfire zoyendetsedwa ndi mphamvu yakutali kuchokera kutali kwambiri.

Mu 2013, pomwe Purezidenti Obama adalimbikitsa nkhondo zankhondo zapamadzi zonena kuti "poyang'ana pang'ono zomwe tikuchita motsutsana ndi omwe akufuna kutipha osati anthu omwe amabisala pakati pawo, tikusankha njira zomwe zingachititse kuti anthu osalakwa awonongeke" zinali zodziwika kale kuti izi sizinali zoona. Pakadali pano, ambiri omwe amazunzidwa ndi ma drone ndi anthu wamba, ochepa ndi omenyera nkhondo mwanjira iliyonse ndipo ngakhale omwe akuwakayikira ngati zigawenga amaphedwa ndi kuweruzidwa mopanda chilungamo.

Kutsimikizika kwa zomwe Biden akuti US "kuthana ndi kuthekera kwauchifwamba" monga ma drones ndi asitikali apadera kungateteze "kuyambiranso kwachiwopsezo ku dziko lathu" sizingachitike New York Times- "Ma Drones, omwe aphulitsa bomba kwakanthawi komanso malo azondi adzagwiritsidwa ntchito poyesa kuletsa Afghanistan kuti isadzayambenso kukhala zigawenga zoopseza United States."

pambuyo pa Ban Killer Drones "Ntchito yapadziko lonse lapansi yogwira ntchito yoletsa ma drones okhala ndi zida zankhondo komanso kuwunika kwa asitikali komanso apolisi," idakhazikitsidwa pa Epulo 9, ndidafunsidwa poyankhulana ngati pali aliyense m'boma, asitikali, akazembe kapena anzeru omwe amathandizira malingaliro athu a drones sizitetezera uchigawenga. Sindikuganiza kuti alipo, koma pali anthu ambiri omwe kale anali ndi maudindo omwe amavomereza nafe. Chitsanzo chimodzi cha ambiri ndi General wopuma pantchito Michael Flynn, Yemwe anali wamkulu wa asitikali ankhondo a Purezidenti Obama asadalowe mgulu la oyang'anira a Trump (ndipo pambuyo pake adaweruzidwa ndi kukhululukidwa). Anati mu 2015, "Mukaponya bomba kuchokera ku drone ... muwononga zambiri kuposa zomwe mungachite zabwino," ndipo "Tikamapereka zida zochulukirapo, mabomba omwe timaponya kwambiri, amango ... mkangano. ” Zikalata zamkati mwa CIA zomwe zidasindikizidwa ndi chikalata cha WikiLeaks kuti bungweli linali ndi kukayikira kofananako pulogalamu yake ya drone- "Zotsatira zoyipa za ntchito za HVT (zolinga zazikulu)," lipoti akuti, "kuphatikiza kukulitsa kuchuluka kwa zigawenga […], kulimbikitsa mgwirizano pakati pa gulu lankhondo ndi anthu, kuwongolera atsogoleri otsala a zigawenga, ndikupanga malo omwe magulu olowerera angalowe, ndikuwonjezera kapena kukulitsa mkangano njira zomwe zimakondera zigawenga. ”

Ponena za zomwe zachitika pakuukira kwa ma drone ku Yemen, wolemba wachinyamata waku Yemen a Ibrahim Mothana adauza Congress mu 2013, "Menyedwe ya Drone ikupangitsa anthu ambiri aku Yemen kudana ndi America ndikulowa nawo gulu lankhondo." Nkhondo za drone zomwe oyang'anira a Biden akuwoneka kuti akufuna kuti awononge kuwonongeka ndikubwezeretsa chitetezo ndi bata m'maiko omwe akuukiridwa ndikuwonjezera chiwopsezo chakumenyedwa kwa aku America kunyumba ndi akunja.

Kalekale, George Orwell ndi Purezidenti Eisenhower adawoneratu "nkhondo zosatha" zamasiku ano ndikuchenjeza za mafakitale amitundu, chuma ndi ndale kudzadalira kwambiri pakupanga ndi kugwiritsa ntchito zida zankhondo kotero kuti nkhondo sizimenyedwanso ndi cholinga chowapambana koma onetsetsani kuti sizitha, kuti ndizopitilira. Kaya ali ndi zolinga zotani, a Joe Biden akufuna mtendere, ku Afghanistan monga ku Yemen, pomwe anali kuchita nkhondo ndi drone, zopanda pake.

Kwa wandale, "nkhondo ya drone" ili ndi maubwino owonekera pomenya nkhondo mwa kuyitanitsa "nsapato pansi." "Amasunga thumba la thupi kuti liziwerengera pansi," alemba a Conn Hallinan m'nkhani yake, Tsiku la Drone, "Koma izi zimabweretsa vuto lamakhalidwe abwino: Ngati nkhondo siyimabweretsa zoopsa, kupatula pakati pa omwe akuwatsata, kodi sizoyesa kumenya nawo? Oyendetsa ndege a Drone mumayendedwe awo okhala ndi mpweya kumwera kwa Nevada sadzapitanso ndi ndege zawo, koma anthu omwe adzalandire pamapeto pake adzapeza njira yobwezera. Monga momwe kuwukira kwa World Trade nsanja komanso ziwopsezo zaposachedwa ku France zikuwonetsa, sizomwe zili zovuta kuchita, ndipo ndizosapeweka kuti omwe akufuna kuwakhalira akhale anthu wamba. Nkhondo yopanda magazi ndichinyengo choopsa. ”

Nkhondo siyomwe yamtendere, nkhondo imabwerera kunyumba. Kupatula ana anayi odziwika kuti "amoto ochezeka", aliyense mwa anthu masauzande ambiri omwe awomberedwa ndi drone adakhalapo munthu wakuda ndipo ma drones akukhala chida china chankhondo chomwe chadutsa kuchokera kumadera ankhondo kupita kumadipatimenti apolisi akumatauni. Kupita patsogolo kwaukadaulo ndi kuchuluka kwa ma drones ngati njira yotsika mtengo, komanso yandale yoti mayiko ambiri amenyere nkhondo ndi oyandikana nawo kapena padziko lonse lapansi zimapangitsa kuti nkhondo zosatha zisakhale zovuta.

Zolankhula zamtendere ku Afghanistan, Yemen, misewu ya US, sizogwirizana pomwe akumenya nkhondo ndi ma drones. Tiyenera kupempha mwachangu kuti ntchito yopanga, kugulitsa ndi kugwiritsa ntchito ma drones okhala ndi zida zankhondo ithe kuthana ndi gulu lankhondo komanso apolisi. ”
