Mikangano Yapano Pa ICBM Ndi Mkangano Pa Momwe Mungakonzere Makina a Doomsday

Ndi Norman Solomon, World BEYOND War, December 15, 2021

Zida za nyukiliya zili pachimake pa zimene Martin Luther King Jr. anazitcha “misala ya nkhondo.” Ngati simukufuna kuganiza za iwo, ndizomveka. Koma njira yotereyi ili ndi phindu lochepa. Ndipo amene akupanga phindu lalikulu pokonzekera chiwonongeko cha dziko lonse amapatsidwa mphamvu ndi kupeŵa kwathu.

Pa mlingo wa mfundo za dziko, kuwonongeka kwa zida za nyukiliya kumakhala kwabwino kwambiri kotero kuti ndi ochepa chabe amene amalingaliranso. Komabe zabwinobwino sizitanthauza kuti wanzeru. Monga epigraph ku buku lake lanzeru Makina Ogulitsa, Daniel Ellsberg akupereka mawu oyenerera mochititsa mantha a Friedrich Nietzsche: “Misala mwa anthu ndi chinthu chosowa; koma m’magulu, maphwando, mitundu, ndi nyengo, ndilo lamulo.”

Tsopano, akatswiri ena azamalamulo a zida za nyukiliya zaku US komanso ena olimbikitsa kuwongolera zida atsekeredwa mkangano wovuta kwambiri wokhudza tsogolo la ma ICBM: zida zoponyera zida za nyukiliya. Ndi mkangano pakati pa kukhazikitsidwa kwa "chitetezo cha dziko" - gehena wokhazikika pa "zamakono" ma ICBM - ndi otsutsa angapo anyukiliya, omwe amakonda kusunga ma ICBM omwe alipo. Mbali zonse ziwiri zikukana kuvomereza kufunikira kwakukulu kowachotseratu.

Kuchotsa ma ICBM kungatero kuchepetsa kwambiri mwayi wakupha nyukiliya padziko lonse lapansi. Ma ICBM ali pachiwopsezo mwapadera kuwopseza, motero alibe phindu loletsa. M'malo mokhala "cholepheretsa," ma ICBM kwenikweni amakhala abakha okhala pamtunda, ndipo chifukwa chake amapangidwira "kuyambitsa chenjezo."

Zotsatira zake, kaya lipoti la zida zoponya zomwe zikubwera ndi zolondola kapena chenjezo labodza, mkulu wankhondo amayenera kusankha mwachangu "kugwiritsa ntchito kapena kutaya" ma ICBM. “Ngati masensa athu akusonyeza kuti zida zoponya za adani zili panjira yopita ku United States, pulezidenti amayenera kuganizira zoponya ma ICBM asanawawononge; zikangokhazikitsidwa, sizingakumbukikenso," Mlembi wakale wa Defense William Perry analemba. "Purezidenti akanakhala ndi mphindi zosakwana 30 kuti apange chisankho choipachi."

Akatswiri ngati Perry ndi omveka ngati iwo limbikitsani kuchotsa ma ICBM. Koma gulu lankhondo la ICBM ndi ng'ombe yopatulika. Ndipo malipoti ankhani masiku ano amakangana pa momwe angapitirizire kudyetsa.

Sabata yatha, Guardian inanena kuti Pentagon yalamula kafukufuku wakunja wa zosankha za ma ICBM. Vuto ndilakuti, njira ziwiri zomwe zikuganiziridwa - kukulitsa moyo wa zida zoponya za Minuteman III zomwe zatumizidwa pano kapena kuzisintha ndi zida zatsopano zoponya - musachite chilichonse kuti muchepetse zoopsa zomwe zikuchulukirachulukira zankhondo yanyukiliya, pamene kuchotsa ma ICBM a dziko kungachepetse kwambiri zoopsa zimenezo.

Koma chachikulu Zida zokopa za ICBM imakhalabe yokwera kwambiri, ndipo phindu lalikulu lamakampani lili pachiwopsezo. Northrop Grumman wapeza mgwirizano wa $ 13.3 biliyoni kuti apitirize kupanga makina atsopano a ICBM, molakwika otchedwa Ground Based Strategic Deterrent. Zonse zikugwirizana ndi kudzipereka kwandale kwa ma ICBM ku Congress ndi nthambi yayikulu.

Magawo okhala ndi nyanja komanso mpweya wa "nyukiliya ya nyukiliya" (sitima zapamadzi ndi mabomba) sizingawonongeke kuti ziwukire bwino - mosiyana ndi ma ICBM, omwe ali pachiwopsezo chonse. Ma subs ndi oponya mabomba, omwe amatha kuwononga maiko onse omwe akuwunikiridwa nthawi zambiri, amapereka "cholepheretsa" kwambiri kuposa momwe aliyense angafune.

Mosiyana kwambiri, ma ICBM ndi otsutsana ndi choletsa. M'malo mwake, iwo ndi omwe akufuna kumenyedwa koyamba ndi zida zanyukiliya chifukwa chokhala pachiwopsezo, ndipo chifukwa chomwechi sangakhale "cholepheretsa" kubwezera. Ma ICBM ali ndi ntchito imodzi yokha yodziwikiratu - kukhala "chinkhupule" chotengera kuyambika kwa nkhondo ya nyukiliya.

Zida ndi kupitiriza chenjezo loyambitsa tsitsi, ma ICBM 400 mdziko muno ali okhazikika kwambiri - osati m'masungidwe apansi panthaka okha. umwazikana m'maboma asanu, komanso m'malingaliro a ndale za US. Ngati cholinga chake ndikupeza zopereka zazikulu za kampeni kuchokera kwa makontrakitala ankhondo, kulimbikitsa phindu lazankhondo ndi mafakitale, ndikukhala mogwirizana ndi malingaliro omwe amalamulira makampani, malingaliro amenewo ndi omveka. Ngati cholinga chake ndikuletsa nkhondo ya zida za nyukiliya, malingaliro amakhala osasinthika.

Monga Ellsberg ndi ine tinalemba mu nkhani kwa The Nation kugwa uku, "Kugwidwa mu mkangano wokhudza njira yotsika mtengo kwambiri yosungira ma ICBM kuti agwire ntchito m'nkhokwe zawo sikungapambane. Mbiri ya zida za nyukiliya mdziko muno imatiuza kuti anthu sawononga ndalama zilizonse ngati akukhulupirira kuti kugwiritsa ntchito ndalamazo kudzawapangitsa iwowo ndi okondedwa awo kukhala otetezeka - tiyenera kuwawonetsa kuti ma ICBM amachitadi zosiyana. " Ngakhale dziko la Russia ndi China silinabwezere nkomwe, zotsatira za kutsekedwa kwa US kwa ma ICBM ake onse zikanakhala kuchepetsa kwambiri mwayi wa nkhondo ya nyukiliya.

Pa Capitol Hill, zenizeni zotere sizowoneka bwino komanso zofananira ndi masomphenya olunjika kutsogolo komanso mphamvu yanzeru wamba. Kwa mamembala a Congress, kuvota pafupipafupi kuti apereke mabiliyoni a madola pa zida za nyukiliya kumawoneka ngati kwachilengedwe. Zolingalira zovuta za rote za ICBMs zidzakhala zofunikira kusokoneza ulendo wopita ku apocalypse ya nyukiliya.
