Pamene ndikugwira ntchito kampeni yothetsa nkhondo, ndizothandiza komanso zoyamikiridwa kuti wolemba nkhani m'modzi mwa mabungwe olimbikitsa nkhondo padziko lonse lapansi, New York Times, Lamlungu ankaganiza mokweza chifukwa chake nkhondo zapadziko lonse zikumenyedwabe.
Paul Krugman moyenerera analozera ku chiwonongeko cha nkhondo ngakhale kwa opambana awo. Adapereka modabwitsa zomwe Norman Angell adawona kuti nkhondo sinalipire ndalama zaka zana zapitazo. Koma Krugman sanapitirirepo kuposa pamenepo, lingaliro lake limodzi lofotokoza nkhondo zomwe mayiko olemera amamenyera nazo kukhala phindu landale kwa oyambitsa nkhondo.
Robert Parry wanena zabodza za kunamizira kwa Krugman kuti Vladimir Putin ndi amene amayambitsa mavuto ku Ukraine. Wina akhoza kukayikira zonena za Krugman kuti George W. Bush kwenikweni "anapambana" kusankhidwa kwake mu 2004, poganizira zomwe zidachitika powerengera mavoti ku Ohio.
Inde, opusa ambiri adzazungulira mkulu aliyense amene amenya nkhondo, ndipo ndi bwino kuti Krugman anene zimenezo. Koma ndizodabwitsa kwambiri kuti katswiri wazachuma adandaule za mtengo (ku US) wankhondo yaku US ku Iraq ngati ikufika $ 1 thililiyoni, ndipo osazindikira kuti United States imawononga pafupifupi $ 1 thililiyoni pokonzekera nkhondo chaka chilichonse kudzera pazoyambira. kuwononga ndalama kwanthawi zonse - kumawononga chuma, komanso kuwononga makhalidwe ndi thupi.
Kodi ndi chiyani chomwe chimayendetsa ndalama zomwe Eisenhower adachenjeza kuti zitha kuyendetsa nkhondo? Phindu, ziphuphu zovomerezeka, ndi chikhalidwe chomwe chimafufuza zomwe zimayambitsa nkhondo makamaka pakati pa 95 peresenti ya anthu omwe amaika ndalama zochepa kwambiri popanga nkhondo kuposa momwe United States imachitira.
Krugman amatsutsa phindu lazachuma ngati lofunikira pankhondo zapakatikati za mayiko osauka okha, koma sakufotokoza chifukwa chake nkhondo zaku US zimayang'ana kwambiri madera omwe ali ndi mafuta. Alan Greenspan analemba kuti: “Ndili wachisoni kuti n’zovuta kuvomereza zimene aliyense akudziwa: nkhondo ya ku Iraq makamaka ikukhudza mafuta.” Monga Krugman mosakayikira akudziwa, kukwera kwamitengo yamafuta sikudandaula aliyense, ndipo kukwera mtengo kwa zida sikutsika pansi pamalingaliro a opanga zida. Nkhondo sizimapindulitsa anthu mwachuma, koma zimalemeretsa anthu. Mfundo yomweyi ndi yofunika kufotokoza khalidwe la boma la US pa malo alionse kupatulapo nkhondo; chifukwa chiyani nkhondo iyenera kukhala yosiyana?
Palibe nkhondo yeniyeni, ndipo ndithudi osati bungwe lonse, liri ndi kufotokozera kumodzi kosavuta. Koma ndizowona kuti ngati zotumiza kunja kwambiri ku Iraq zinali broccoli sipakanakhala nkhondo ya 2003. N'zothekanso kuti ngati kupindula kwa nkhondo kunali koletsedwa ndikuletsedwa sikanakhala nkhondo. Ndizothekanso kuti ngati chikhalidwe cha US sichidapatse andale oyambitsa nkhondo, ndi/kapena New York Times Adanenanso zankhondo moona mtima, ndipo/kapena Congress idakhala ndi chizolowezi chosokoneza anthu oyambitsa nkhondo, ndipo/kapena kampeni idalipidwa ndi anthu, ndipo/kapena chikhalidwe cha US chimakondwerera kusachita zachiwawa m'malo mwa chiwawa sipakanakhala nkhondo. Ndizothekanso kuti ngati George W. Bush ndi/kapena Dick Cheney ndi ena ochepa anali athanzi m'maganizo sipakanakhala nkhondo.
Tiyenera kusamala popanga lingaliro lakuti nthawi zonse pamakhala zowerengera zomveka zomwe zimayambitsa nkhondo. Mfundo yakuti sitingathe kuwapeza kwenikweni si kulephera kwa malingaliro, koma kukana kuzindikira khalidwe lopanda nzeru ndi loipa la akuluakulu athu andale. Ulamuliro wapadziko lonse, machismo, chisoni, ndi chilakolako cha mphamvu zimathandizira kwambiri pazokambirana za okonzekera nkhondo.
Koma kodi nchiyani chimene chimapangitsa nkhondo kukhala yofala m’madera ena osati ena? Kafukufuku wozama akusonyeza kuti yankho lake silinachite chilichonse ndi mavuto azachuma kapena chilengedwe kapena mphamvu zina zopanda umunthu. M'malo mwake yankho ndilo kuvomereza chikhalidwe. Chikhalidwe chomwe chimavomereza kapena kukondwerera nkhondo chidzakhala ndi nkhondo. Yemwe amatsutsa nkhondo ngati zopanda pake komanso zankhanza adzadziwa mtendere.
Ngati Krugman ndi owerenga ake ayamba kuganiza za nkhondo ngati yachikale, monga chinthu chomwe chimafuna kufotokozera, izi zikhoza kukhala nkhani yabwino kuti gulu lithetse kupanga nkhondo.
Kudumpha kwakukulu kotsatira kungabwere posachedwa ngati tonse tiyesera kuwona dziko kwakanthawi kuchokera momwe munthu wina ali kunja kwa United States. Kupatula apo, lingaliro loti US sayenera kuphulitsa bomba ku Iraq limangomveka ngati kukana kuti pali vuto lalikulu ku Iraq lomwe likufuna kuchitapo kanthu mwachangu, kwa anthu omwe amaganiza kuti zovuta zimafuna mabomba kuti athetse - ndipo ambiri mwa anthuwo, ndi ena. mwangozi, zikuwoneka kuti zikukhala ku United States.
