Kusokoneza kwa nkhondo zoyenera

lolemba ndi Nicolas JS Davies

Zaka 15 zapitazo, pa Okutobala 19th 2001, a Donald Rumsfeld adayankhula ndi a B-2 omwe amapanga bomba ku Whiteman AFB ku Missouri, pamene akukonzekera kuwuluka pakati padziko lonse lapansi kuti adzabwezere anthu aku Afghanistan ndikuyamba nkhondo yayitali kwambiri m'mbiri ya US.  Rumsfeld adauza gulu lazophulitsa bomba, "Tili ndi zisankho ziwiri. Mwina timasintha momwe timakhalira, kapena tiyenera kusintha momwe amakhalira. Timasankha omaliza. Ndipo inu ndi amene mudzathandiza kukwaniritsa cholinga chimenecho. ”

Zaka 15 pambuyo pake, nkhondo zathu zasintha momwe mamiliyoni a anthu amakhala ndi kuphedwa za anthu miliyoni a 2 omwe analibe chochita ndi milandu ya Seputembara 11. Mfundo yayikulu kwambiri ya chilungamo, imeneyo okhawo olakwa ayenera kulangidwa chifukwa cha mlandu, adatayika mwachangu ndikuikidwa m'manda nkhondo yaku America itatha. Seputembara 11th idakhala chonamizira, ena anganene chinyengo, pakukulitsa mphamvu zankhondo zaku US.

Ndalama zomwe Purezidenti Bush adawononga zidayika mbiri ya WWII, pafupifupi $ 635 biliyoni pachaka mu madola a 2016, poyerekeza ndi avareji ya $ 470 biliyoni pachaka mu Cold War. Tsopano Purezidenti Obama wachita zomwe zimawoneka ngati zosatheka mu 2008, kutulutsa Bush ndi avareji ya $ 20 biliyoni pachaka. Zomangamanga zomwe a Bush adachita ndikupitilizabe kwawo ndi a Obama sizinachitikepo, ndipo modabwitsa asokoneza momwe ndalama zankhondo yaku US zakhazikitsira zaka 50 za Cold War, pomwe zinali zoyenera, molondola kapena molakwika, ndi mpikisano waukulu wankhondo ndi USSR

Pamene ife yerekezerani ndalama zathu zankhondo kupita kumayiko ena, tikugwiritsa ntchito mphamvu zankhondo zotsatira za 9 padziko lonse lapansi (ambiri mwa iwo ndi ogwirizana ndi US mulimonsemo), ndipo tikugwiritsa ntchito dzanja limodzi mopitilira 180 mayiko ankhondo osaphatikizika.

Chifukwa chake tiyenera kufunsa: kodi cholinga chake ndi ziti kapena ndi ziti, ndipo zikuyimira ngozi zanji? Zachidziwikire kuti sizinathandize US kuti ipambane nkhondo iliyonse. Nkhondo zokha zomwe tapambana kuyambira WWII zinali zopitilira magulu ang'onoang'ono a neocolonial a Grenada, Panama, Kuwait ndi Kosovo. Hillary Clinton ananyoza ntchito zawo ngati "nkhondo zazing'ono zokongola" polankhula ku Council on Foreign Relations mu 2000, pomwe amalimbikitsa mamembala ake kuti athandizire kugwiritsa ntchito mphamvu zankhondo zaku US. Clinton adapeza zomwe adapempha, koma akuwoneka kuti sanaphunzirepo chilichonse pazotsatira zowonongekazo.

Ndikunena kuti kupha anthu ambiri

Kuopsa kokhala ndi chuma chambiri mdziko lathu pazankhondo ndi zida zankhondo ndikuti kumapangitsa atsogoleri athu kunama kuti atha kugwiritsa ntchito nkhondo kupititsa patsogolo zofuna zathu kapena kuthana ndi mavuto apadziko lonse lapansi. Monga momwe mkulu wina waku America ananenera, "Chida chokhacho chomwe muli nacho ndi nyundo, vuto lililonse limayamba kuoneka ngati msomali."

M'malo mopanga zabwino pa "gawo lamtendere" lomwe anthu aku America amayembekeza kumapeto kwa Cold War, atsogoleri aku US adakopeka ndi chipwirikiti cha "unipolar" momwe kuwopseza ndikugwiritsa ntchito gulu lankhondo laku US kungakhale komaliza komaliza zochitika zapadziko lonse lapansi. Malemu Senator Edward Kennedy adanyalanyazidwa pomwe adachita izi adatsutsa zokhumba izi "ngati kuitana kuti 21st century imprisitu yaku America komwe kulibe dziko lina lomwe lingalandire kapena kuvomereza."

Pofuna izi, tidagwiritsa ntchito mphamvu kuphwanya UN Charter motsutsana ndi Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, Libya ndipo tsopano Syria. Atsogoleri athu ankhondo komanso anthu wamba aphwanya malamulo ankhondo, ndikulamula asitikali aku US kuti kupha anthu wamba, kuzunza akaidi, "Cheke chakufa" kapena kupha ankhondo omenyedwa, ndikuti kuzindikira osaphedwa anthu wambamonga omenyera nkhondo omwe adaphedwa, achititsa dala kusiyanitsa pakati pa omenyera nkhondo ndi anthu wamba omwe ndiye maziko aMsonkhano Wachinayi wa Geneva.

Chiphunzitso cha Purezidenti Obama chobisalira komanso nkhondo yankhondo chakulitsa ntchito zaku US Special Forces kuchokera m'maiko a 60 pomwe adayamba ntchito Maiko a 150 lero: kuphunzitsa magulu ankhondo kuti azunze ndikupha anthu awo m'maiko ngati Saudi Arabia ndi Colombia; kuchita mgwirizano ndi magulu ankhondo ochokera ku Iraq kupita ku Philippines; ndikugwira ntchito mobisa motsogozedwa ndi CIA ku Africa konse, ndikuthandizira magulu olumikizidwa ndi Al-Qaeda ku Libya ndi Syria.

Pakadali pano CIA, National Endowment for Democracy ndi mabungwe ena aku US athandiza magulu amdima omwe akuyesetsa kuthana ndi kugwetsa maboma akunja ku Honduras, Ukraine, Venezuela komanso Russia yomwe ili ndi zida za nyukiliya, komwe zotsatira zakusintha kwaulamuliro waku US zitha kukhala zosalamulirika komanso zowopsa.

Pansi pa Purezidenti Obama, magulu ankhondo apadera aku US omwe ankhondo ku Afghanistan adaphulika kuchokera pakuwukira 20 pamwezi pomwe adayamba kugwira ntchito zoposa 1,000 pamwezi zaka ziwiri kenako, Pulogalamu ya Phoenix pa ma steroids yomwe ili ndi mndandanda wazowonjezereka womwe umangotengera kuyang'aniridwa kwa drone ndi manambala a foni omwe amatengedwa kuchokera pama foni am'manja. Nzeru zenizeni zaumunthu pazomwe amazunzidwa sizichotsedwa pamitengo yapadera yaku US 'yotamandidwa "Kusanthula kwa ma netiweki."  Akuluakulu avomereza ku Washington Post kuti osachepera theka awa awukira kwezani munthu wolakwika kapena nyumba, ndikupha anthu masauzande ambiri osalakwa.

Pakadali pano, kukulitsa kwa Purezidenti Obama kwa magulu ankhondo apadera sikunachititse kuti kuchepa kwa ziwopsezo zaku US. Iye ali ndi udindo wa bomba la 80,000 ndi mfuti zoponya pa mayiko a 7, poyerekeza ndi pafupifupi 70,000 motsutsana ndi mayiko a 5 ndi Purezidenti Bush.

Tsogolo - nkhondo kapena mtendere

         Dziko likukumana ndi mavuto akulu omwe akuyenera kuthana ndi kuthetsedwa mzaka makumi angapo zikubwerazi. Tawononga zachilengedwe zambiri zomwe moyo wathu wamakono wamangidwapo, ndipo tsopano kusintha kwanyengo kwasintha kugwiritsa ntchito kwathu mafuta kukhala njira yodzipha pang'ono. Funso lomwe tikukumana nalo ndi ili: kodi kugawidwa kwa zinthu zomwe zikusowa kwambiri ndikusintha koyenera kwa zaka za zana la 21 kudzawongoleredwa ndi mgwirizano wapadziko lonse lapansi kuti athandize onse komanso kupulumuka kwachitukuko cha anthu? Kapena kodi dziko lathu lidzagawanika chifukwa cha mkangano wofunafuna chuma chambiri pomwe mayiko amphamvu kwambiri amagwiritsa ntchito gulu lankhondo kuti ayesere kutenga zomwe angathe kupweteketsa wina aliyense?

Ndondomeko yankhondo yankhondo mdziko lathu ikupereka yankho limodzi kumfunso ili. Tiyenera kupeza ina - ndi njira yabwino yandale kuti tiwakakamize atsogoleri athu onyenga nthawi ikadalipo.
