Ndi David Swanson

Canada ikukhala yaikulu wogulitsa zida, wothandizirana naye wodalirika pankhondo zaku US, komanso wokhulupilira woona zodzitetezera mwamtendere ngati yankho lothandiza pakuwononga konse komwe kwachitika chifukwa cha zida zankhondo.

William Geimer Canada: Mlandu Wopewa Nkhondo za Anthu Ena ndi buku labwino kwambiri la nkhondo, lothandiza kwa aliyense amene akufuna kumvetsetsa kapena kuthetsa nkhondo kulikonse padziko lapansi. Koma zidalembedwa kuchokera ku Canada powona kufunika kwake kwa anthu a ku Canada komanso okhala m'mayiko ena a NATO, kuphatikizapo kukhala ofunikira pakalipano monga Trumpolini akufunira kuti agwiritse ntchito ndalama zowonjezera.

Mwa "nkhondo za anthu ena" Geimer amatanthauza kuwonetsa udindo wa Canada ngati wogonjera pakupanga nkhondo ku United States, komanso mbiri yakale yaku Canada polimbana ndi Britain. Koma amatanthauzanso kuti nkhondo zomwe Canada akumenyera sizikutanthauza kuteteza Canada. Chifukwa chake, ndibwino kudziwa kuti samakhudzanso kuteteza United States mwina, kutumikirako kuika pangozi mtundu umene ukuwatsogolera. Nkhondo za ndani?

Nkhani zofufuzidwa bwino za a Geimer zankhondo ya Boer, nkhondo zapadziko lonse lapansi, Korea, ndi Afghanistan zikuwonetseratu zowopsa komanso zopanda pake, komanso kupusitsa ulemu, monga momwe mungapezere.

Ndizomvetsa chisoni kuti a Geimer akutsimikiza kuti mwina kuli nkhondo yankhondo yaku Canada, akunena kuti Udindo Woteteza ungofunika kugwiritsidwa ntchito moyenera kupewa "nkhanza" ngati Libya, ikufotokoza nthano yodziwika bwino yokhudza nkhondo Rwanda, ndikuwonetsa kusungitsa bata mwamtendere ngati chinthu chosiyana ndi nkhondo palimodzi. "Kodi," a Geimer amafunsa, "kodi Canada ku Afghanistan idachita zinthu zosagwirizana ndi masomphenya amodzi, ndikuchita zosiyana?" Ndikulingalira kuti yankho limodzi likhoza kukhala: poganiza kuti kutumiza asitikali ankhondo kudziko lina kukakhala komweko kungakhale kosiyana ndikutumiza asitikali ankhondo kudziko kuti akakhalemo.

Koma a Geimer akufunsanso kuti palibe ntchito yomwe ingachititse kuti kupha munthu wamba isachitike, lamulo lomwe lingathetseretu nkhondo. M'malo mwake, kufalitsa kumvetsetsa kwa mbiri yomwe buku la Geimer limafotokoza kungachitike chimodzimodzi.

Nkhondo Yadziko Yonse, yomwe yakhala ikufika zaka mazana asanu, ikuoneka kuti ndi nthano yachinsinsi ku Canada mwatsatanetsatane momwe nkhondo yachiwiri yapadziko lonse imafotokozera kubadwa kwa United States ku zosangalatsa za US. Kukana Nkhondo Yadziko Lonse chitha kukhala chofunikira kwambiri. Canada ikufunanso kudziwika padziko lonse lapansi pazomwe zathandizira pantchito yankhondo, malinga ndi kusanthula kwa Geimer, m'njira yomwe boma la US silingadzipereke kuti lipereke zomwe wina aliyense akuganiza. Izi zikusonyeza kuti kuzindikira Canada chifukwa chofuna kutuluka pankhondo kapena kuthandiza kuletsa mabomba okwirira kapena kuteteza anthu omwe akukana kulowa usilikali chifukwa cha chikumbumtima chawo (komanso othawa kwawo ku US), pomwe akuchititsa manyazi Canada chifukwa chotenga nawo mbali pamilandu yaku US, zitha kukhala ndi vuto.

Pamene Geimer akufotokozera zonena za nkhondo zonse za padziko lonse kuti Canada ingakhale yodzitetezera, iye amavomereza kuti zonena zake zinali zovuta. Geimer mwinamwake sunganene pang'ono ponena za kufalitsa kwa chitetezo, chimene ndikuganiza kuti chiri champhamvu kwambiri ku United States. Ngakhale nkhondo za US tsopano zikuponyedwa ngati zothandiza, zomwe zikugulitsa mfundo yokha osati nkhokwe zambiri za US thandizo. Nkhondo iliyonse ya ku America, ngakhale kugonjetsedwa kwa amitundu osasamalika mozungulira dziko lapansi, imagulitsidwa ngati yotetezedwa kapena yosagulitsidwa bwino. Kusiyana kumeneku kumandipatsa mwayi wambiri.

Choyamba, US imaganiza kuti ili pachiwopsezo chifukwa yadzetsa malingaliro ambiri otsutsana ndi US padziko lonse lapansi kudzera munkhondo zawo zonse "zodzitchinjiriza". Anthu aku Canada akuyenera kulingalira za ndalama zotani zomwe zingawapangitse kuti apange magulu azigawenga omwe amatsutsana ndi Canada pamalingaliro aku US, komanso ngati atha kubwereza kawiri poyankha, ndikupangitsa kuti pakhale ndalama zambiri "podzitchinjiriza ”Motsutsana ndi zomwe" chitetezo "chonse chimapanga.

Chachiwiri, mwina pali zoopsa zochepa zomwe zingapezeke potenga mbiri yankhondo yaku Canada komanso ubale wake ndi asitikali aku US nthawi yayitali. Ngati nkhope ya a Donald Trump sachita izi, mwina kukumbukira nkhondo zaku US zomwe zidachitika zithandizira anthu aku Canada kutsutsana ndi boma lawo ngati US poodle.

Patatha zaka zisanu ndi chimodzi kuchokera pamene Britain adafika ku Jamestown, pomwe opulumukawo akuvutika kuti apulumuke komanso osakwanitsa kupha anthu awo, ma Virginiya atsopanowa adalemba ganyu kuti amenyane ndi Acadia ndipo (alephera) kuthamangitsa achi French pazomwe amalingalira kuti ndi kontinentiyo. . Madera omwe angakhale United States adaganiza zolanda Canada mu 1690 (ndipo adalephera, kachiwiri). Iwo ali ndi a British kuti awathandize mu 1711 (ndipo adalephera, komabe). General Braddock ndi Colonel Washington adayesanso mu 1755 (ndipo adalephera, kupatula pakuyeretsa mafuko omwe adachitidwa ndikuwathamangitsa a Acadians ndi Achimereka Achimereka). A Britain ndi US adamenya ku 1758 ndipo adalanda nyumba yachifumu yaku Canada, ndikuyitcha Pittsburgh, ndipo pamapeto pake adamanga bwaloli lalikulu pamtsinje woperekedwa kuti ketchup ipatsidwe ulemu. George Washington adatumiza asitikali motsogozedwa ndi Benedict Arnold kuti akaukire Canada kachiwiri mu 1775. Lamulo loyambirira la Constitution ya US lidapereka mwayi woti Canada iphatikizidwe, ngakhale Canada idalibe chidwi chokhala nawo. A Benjamin Franklin adapempha aku Britain kuti apereke Canada ku zokambirana za Pangano la Paris mu 1783. Tangoganizirani zomwe izi zikadachita pamalamulo azaumoyo aku Canada komanso mfuti! Kapena musaganize. Britain idapereka Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, ndi Indiana. Mu 1812 US idafuna kupita ku Canada ndikulandilidwa ngati omasula. A US adathandizira ku Ireland ku Canada ku 1866. Mukukumbukira nyimbo iyi?

Gawo loyamba iye akanakhoza kuika pansi
Yemwe ndi kwanthawizonse,
Ndipo kenako kuchokera korona wa Britain
Iye Canada akanatha.
Yankee Doodle, ikani izo,
Yankee Doodle dandy.
Ganizirani nyimbo ndi sitepe
ndipo ndi atsikana akhale okonzeka!

Canada, mu nkhani ya Geimer, ilibe chidwi chofuna kulamulira dziko lonse lapansi kudzera muufumu. Izi zimapangitsa kuthetsa nkhondoyi kukhala nkhani yosiyana, ndikuganiza, kuti ndichite chimodzimodzi ku United States. Mavuto a phindu, katangale, komanso kufalitsa mawu amakhalabe, koma chitetezo chachikulu chankhondo chomwe chimapezeka nthawi zonse ku United States zolinga zina zikagonjetsedwa sizingakhale ku Canada. M'malo mwake, popita kunkhondo pomenyera nkhondo ku US, Canada imadzipanga kukhala akapolo.

Canada idalowa nawo nkhondo zapadziko lonse lapansi US isanatero, ndipo idali gawo lazokhumudwitsa Japan zomwe zidabweretsa US ku yachiwiri. Koma kuyambira pamenepo, Canada yakhala ikuthandiza United States poyera komanso mwachinsinsi, ndikupereka "mgwirizano" woyamba kuchokera ku "mayiko ena." Mwalamulo, Canada idasiya nkhondo pakati pa Korea ndi Afghanistan, kuyambira pano akhala akulowa nawo mwachidwi. Koma kuti izi zitheke pamafunika kunyalanyaza nkhondo zosiyanasiyana zomwe bungwe la United Nations kapena NATO limachita, kuphatikiza ku Vietnam, Yugoslavia, ndi Iraq.

Anthu a ku Canada ayenera kunyada kuti pulezidenti wawo akadzudzula mwamphamvu nkhondo ya Vietnam, Pulezidenti wa ku America, Lyndon Johnson akuti anamugwira pachifuwa, namunyamula pansi, ndikufuula "Mwaswetsa chikwama changa!" Prime minister waku Canada, modalira mnyamatayo Dick Cheney adzawombera kumaso, adapepesa kwa Johnson za izi.

Tsopano boma la United States likulimbana ndi Russia, ndipo ku Canada mu 2014 kuti Prince Charles anayerekezera Vladimir Putin ndi Adolf Hitler. Kodi Canada idzatenga njira yotani? Kukhoza kulipo komwe Canada ikupereka ku United States malamulo a chikhalidwe ndi alamulo ku Iceland, chitsanzo cha Costa Rica njira yanzeru kumpoto chakumalire. Ngati kukakamizidwa ndi anzawo kuchokera ku kayendetsedwe ka zaumoyo ku Canada ndikulangiza kulikonse, Canada yomwe idasunthira kupitirira nkhondo sikangathetse nkhondo zaku US zokha, koma zingapangitse mkangano pakuchita izi. Ichi chikhoza kukhala gawo ladziko lonse patsogolo pomwe tili pano.
