Ino ndi nthawi yolengeza kutha kwa Nkhondo Yoyipa Yoyipa, kuchotsa Chilolezo Chogwiritsa Ntchito Gulu Lankhondo chomwe chikuwunikira kuwukira kwa US kulikonse nthawi iliyonse, kuti alumikizane Islamophobia, ndikulemba mwachisilamu Asilamu kunyumba - zolemba zodana ndi manda achisilamu, kuwononga ndi kuwotcha mzikiti - pamalamulo akunja omwe amaletsa kuphulitsa bomba kwa mayiko ambiri achisilamu, kuphatikiza Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria. Mu 2016, Bureau of Investigative Journalism inanena mabomba a drone ku Middle East “anaphedwa pakati Anthu 8,500 ndi 12,000, kuphatikizapo anthu wamba 1,700 - 400 mwa iwo anali ana. ”

Nkhondo ya Drone Ikuwombera Anthu Amtundu

Kutali ndi maso a nzika zaku US, nkhondo zomwe sizinaphunzitsidwe komanso zomwe zimanenedwa nthawi zambiri, nkhondo zankhaninkhani zimaopseza anthu am'deralo, komwe anthu akumudzimo amafuna tsiku lotentha chifukwa m'mawu a Zubair, mwana waku Pakistani wovulala pomenyera ndege ku US, "Ma drones samauluka pomwe thambo ndi lotuwa. ” Pochitira umboni pamaso pa Congress mu 2013, Zubair adati, "Sindikondanso mlengalenga. Thambo likamawala, ma drones amabwerera ndipo timakhala mwamantha. ”

Pakati pakukula kwa nkhondo, asitikali akubwerera kuchokera ku Iraq ndi Afghanistan atanyamula matumba, George Bush - Purezidenti yemwe asanajambule zikopa zam'madzi ndikukumbatira Ellen, wokondedwayo - adayambitsa nkhondo yaku US ku Iraq zomwe zidapangitsa opitilira miliyoni, othawa kwawo akukhamukira ku Syria — adatembenukira ku CIA ndi asitikali kuti akayendetse galimoto yopanda anthu kapena kuphulitsa bomba kwa drone komwe kukapha mayiko akutali ndikuteteza asitikali aku US kuvulaza, matupi awo kutali ndi bwalo lankhondo, atayimilira pamaso pa oyang'anira muzipinda zopanda mawindo ku Langley, Virginia kapena Indian Springs, Nevada.

M'malo mwake, nkhondo yayandikira kwambiri, chifukwa asitikali aku US omwe akukonzekera maukadaulo ndikugwiritsa ntchito zisangalalo zakupha nthawi zambiri amapwetekedwa mtima chifukwa chakupha kwawo anthu akutali omwe sangakhale chiwopsezo ku United States. Nsautso, kupweteka mutu, kupweteka kwa mafupa, kuchepa thupi komanso kusowa tulo madandaulo wamba mwa ogwiritsa ntchito ma drone.

Bipartisan Drone Mabomba

mu "Mabala a Msirikali wa Drone”Mtolankhani wa New York Times a Eyal Press alemba mu 2018 kuti a Obama adavomereza kuwomberedwa kwa ma drone 500 kunja kwa madera ankhondo, maulendo 10 kuposa omwe adalamulidwa ndi Bush, ndikuti kunyanyalaku sikunachititse kuti awononge Iraq, Afghanistan kapena Syria.

Pulogalamu ya 1033-Oyambitsa Grenade a Apolisi Akuderalo

Kulumikizana pakati pa nkhanza zapolisi kunyumba ndi nkhanza zankhondo kunja kumaonekera mu US Defense Logistics Agency's Pulogalamu ya 1033, yomwe idakhazikitsidwa mu 1977 motsogozedwa ndi a Clinton kupitiliza kwa "Purezidenti Wakale wa Richard Nixon" Nkhondo Yogwiritsa Ntchito Mankhwala Osokoneza bongo "zomwe zidapangitsa kuwonjezeka kwakukulu kwa kutsekera m'ndende anthu osauka ndi anthu amtundu wotsekedwa pansi pa malamulo okhwima okhwima omwe adakhazikitsa malire ochepera osokoneza bongo.

Pulogalamu ya 1033 imagawira pamtengo wotsika-mtengo wotumiza-mabiliyoni a madola a zida zankhondo zochulukirapo-zida zankhondo, magalimoto okhala ndi zida zankhondo, mfuti zankhondo, ndipo nthawi imodzi, $ 800-zikwi zapamtunda za Mine-Resistant Ambush Vehicles (MRAP's) , omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito poteteza inshuwaransi ku Iraq ndi Afghanistan -kuma 8,000 oyang'anira zamalamulo ku United States.

Pulogalamu ya 1033 idakhala mutu wazokambirana pagulu mu 2014 pomwe apolisi ku Ferguson, Missouri, adagwiritsa ntchito zida zankhondo - zida zankhondo ndi magalimoto onyamula zida - motsutsana ndi otsutsa omwe adakwiya ndikupha a Michael Brown, munthu wopanda zida ku Africa waku America yemwe adawomberedwa ndi wapolisi woyera .

Kutsatira ziwonetsero za Ferguson, oyang'anira a Obama adaletsa mitundu yazida - zida, ma MRAP's - zomwe zitha kugawidwa m'madipatimenti apolisi pansi pa pulogalamu ya 1033, koma Purezidenti Trump adalonjeza kuti athetsa zoletsazo mu 2017.

Pulogalamu ya 1033 ikuwopseza mabungwe aboma, akumenya asitikali ankhondo kuti akakamize "LAMULO NDI DONGOSOLO !!" la Trump ma tweets pomwe amateteza magulu, chifukwa mu 2017 the Ofesi Yoyang'anira Udindo adawulula momwe ogwira ntchito ake, omwe amanamizira kuti ndiopanga zamalamulo, amapempha ndikupeza zida zankhondo zopitilira miliyoni miliyoni - zikopa zamaso usiku, bomba lamipope, mfuti - pokhazikitsa bungwe labodza lamalamulo.

Israeli, Kusinthana Koopsa, Fort Benning

Asitikali apolisi athu, amapitilira kupitilira kusamutsa zida. Zimaphatikizaponso kuphunzitsa kukhazikitsa malamulo.

Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) yakhazikitsidwa “Kusinthana Koopsa”- ntchito yovumbulutsa ndikumaliza mapulogalamu ogwirizana a US - Israeli ndi apolisi okhudza apolisi masauzande ambiri ochokera m'mizinda mdziko lonselo — Los Angeles, San Diego, Washington DC, Atlanta, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Kansas City, ndi zina zambiri. omwe amapita ku Israeli kapena amapita kumisonkhano yaku US, ena amathandizidwa ndi Anti-Defamation League, momwe maofesala amaphunzitsidwa kuyang'anira unyinji, kusankhana mitundu komanso kupondereza wotsutsa. Njira zomwe Israeli amagwiritsira ntchito motsutsana ndi Apalestina ndipo pambuyo pake adalowetsedwa ku US ndikuphatikizanso kugwiritsa ntchito Skunk, madzi onunkhira oyipa komanso oyambitsa nseru omwe amathiridwa mwamphamvu kwa owonetsa ziwonetsero, ndi Kuwunika Apaulendo Pakuwunika Pulogalamu ya (SPOT) yosanja okwera ndege omwe atha kunjenjemera, kufika mochedwa, kuyasamula mokokomeza, kutsuka pakhosi kapena mluzu.

Onse a JVP ndi a Black Lives Matter amazindikira kulumikizana pakati pa nkhondo kunyumba ndi kunja, chifukwa onsewa avomereza kampeni ya Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) yolimbana ndi Israeli chifukwa chophwanya ufulu wa anthu mamiliyoni aku Palestine omwe amakhala muulamuliro wa Israeli.

Ngakhale Bureau of Labor Statistics sikutsata kuchuluka kwa asitikali omwe akuchita ntchito zalamulo, a Military Times akuti asitikali ankhondo nthawi zambiri amapita kutsogolo kwa olemba anzawo ntchito akalembetsa apolisi ndikuti m'madipatimenti apolisi amatenga ankhondo omenyera nkhondo.

Derek Chauvin, wapolisi wa ku Minneapolis woweruzidwa kuti aphe George Floyd, nthawi ina anali atakhala ku Fort Benning, Georgia, kwawo ku Sukulu yotchuka ya America, adasinthidwanso mu 2001 pambuyo pa ziwonetsero zazikulu ngati Western Hemisphere Institute for Security and Cooperation (WHINSEC), komwe asitikali aku US adaphunzitsa opha anthu aku Latin America, zigawenga zakupha ndi omwe adamupha.

The webusaiti of Immigration and Customs Enforcing (ICE), bungwe lomwe limayimba mlandu wogwira ndi kuthamangitsa anthu osamukira kudziko lina omwe alibe zikalata, akuti, "ICE ikuthandizira kugwiritsa ntchito omenyera ufulu wawo ndikulemba nawo omenyera ufulu woyenera m'malo onse m'bungweli."

Pomaliza, pali malo ochepa pakati pa apolisi apanyumba omwe amaopseza anthu akuda mdziko muno komanso apolisi apadziko lonse lapansi omwe amaopseza anthu abulauni kumayiko akunja. Kudzudzula m'modzi, komabe kukhululukira winayo ndikulakwa.

Bwezerani apolisi. Bwezerani asitikali. Tiyeni tigwirizane ndi magulu awiriwa kuti tithane ndi zipsinjo zomwe sizingachitike kunyumba ndi kunja kwinaku tikufuna kuwerengera zakale ndi zamakono za atsamunda.

Pofika chisankho cha Novembala, osatengera Purezidenti, tiyenera kubzala gulu lamtendere lamitundu yambiri komanso lamitundu yosiyana siyana lomwe limatsutsana ndi malingaliro akunja a ma Democrat ndi a Republican, onse maphwando amavomerezana ndi zipembedzo zaku US zomwe zimabweretsa bajeti zankhondo, nkhondo zantchito zamafuta ndi atsamunda zomwe zimatizunza.
