Ndi David Swanson, Mtsogoleri, World BEYOND War

Mukadawona buku ku Barnes ndi Noble lotchedwa "How Not to Go to War," kodi simungaganize kuti linali lolozera zida zoyenera msilikali aliyense wabwino ayenera kukhala nazo akamapita kukapha pang'ono, kapena china chake. monga nkhani yaku US iyi "Momwe Osapita Kunkhondo Yolimbana ndi ISIS” zomwe ndi za lamulo liti lomwe muyenera kukhala ngati likuvomereza kuphwanya Charter ya UN ndi Pangano la Kellogg-Briand?

M'malo mwake, buku latsopanoli, Momwe Musapitire ku Nkhondo Wolemba Vijay Mehta, amabwera kwa ife kuchokera ku Britain komwe wolembayo ndi mtsogoleri wotsogolera mtendere, ndipo kwenikweni ndi ndondomeko za momwe osangopita kunkhondo konse. Ngakhale kuti mabuku ambiri amathera gawo lawo lalikulu loyamba pavuto komanso gawo lalifupi lomaliza pa mayankho, magawo awiri pa atatu aliwonse a buku la Mehta ali ndi mayankho, gawo lachitatu lomaliza la vuto lankhondo. Ngati izi zikusokonezani, kapena ngati simukudziwa kuti nkhondo ndi vuto, mutha kuwerenga bukuli motsatira dongosolo. Ngakhale mukudziwa kuti nkhondo ndi vuto, mutha kupindulabe ndi kufotokozera kwa Mehta momwe ukadaulo, kuphatikiza luntha lochita kupanga, likupangira mwayi watsopano wankhondo kuposa momwe tawonera kapena momwe timaganizira.

Kenako ndikupangira kuti owerenga adumphire ku Chaputala XNUMX, chakumapeto kwa gawo loyamba la bukhuli, chifukwa limapereka yankho la momwe tingaganizire ndikulankhula bwino pazachuma ndi ndalama zomwe boma limagwiritsa ntchito, yankho lomwe nthawi imodzi limawunikira zomwe zili zolakwika ndi zomwe tili nazo panopa. njira yoganizira.

Tangoganizani kuti pali bilionea yemwe "amapeza" ndalama zambiri chaka chilichonse ndipo amawononga ndalama zambiri. Tsopano, tangoganizani kuti bilionea uyu walemba ntchito akauntanti wodziwa bwino kwambiri yemwe amapeza njira yowonjezerera ku mbali yabwino ya bukulo ndalama zomwe mabiliyoniyo amawononga pamipanda ndi ma alarm system ndi agalu oteteza ndi ma SUV osawombera zipolopolo ndi alonda apadera okhala ndi ma tasers ndi mfuti zamanja. Biliyoniyu amabweretsa $ 100 miliyoni ndipo amawononga $ 150 miliyoni, koma $ 25 miliyoni ali pa "chitetezo" chandalama, kotero kuti amapita kumbali ya ndalama. Osati akubweretsa $125 miliyoni ndikuwononga $125 miliyoni. Zomveka?

Inde, sizimveka! Simungalipidwe $100 miliyoni, kugwiritsa ntchito $100 miliyoni pamfuti, ndipo tsopano muli ndi $200 miliyoni. Simunachulukitse ndalama zanu kawiri; mwasweka, bwanawe. Koma umu ndi momwe katswiri wa zachuma amawerengera ndalama zonse za dziko (ndipo ndikutanthauza ndalama zonse) zapakhomo (GDP). Mehta akupereka kusintha, kuti kupanga zida, mafakitale ankhondo, asawerengedwe mu GDP.

Izi zitha kuchepetsa GDP ya US kuchoka pa $ 19 thililiyoni kufika ku $ 17 thililiyoni, ndikuthandiza alendo ochokera ku Europe kumvetsetsa chifukwa chomwe malowa akuwoneka osauka kwambiri kuposa momwe ansembe akulu azachuma amatiuzira. Zitha kuthandiza ngakhale andale ochokera ku Washington DC kumvetsetsa chifukwa chomwe ovota omwe amakhulupirira kuti akuchita bwino kwambiri ali okwiya modabwitsa komanso okwiya.

Pamene ndalama zankhondo kwenikweni amachepetsa ntchito ndi phindu pazachuma poyerekeza ndi kusakhoma msonkho poyamba kapena kugwiritsa ntchito m'njira zina, ndalama zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito pankhondo ndizofanana ndi "kukula" kwachuma pamapepala chifukwa zikuwonjezedwa mu GDP. Chifukwa chake, mumakhala wosauka mukukhala m'dziko "lolemera", zomwe boma la US lidapeza momwe mungapezere. anthu ambiri kupirira komanso ngakhale kunyadira.

Mitu 1-4 ikufotokoza njira zopangira njira zolimbikitsira ndi kusunga mtendere, ndendende zomwe tikuyesera kuchita. World BEYOND War. Chimodzi mwazinthu zomwe Mehta akuyang'ana ndikukhazikitsa zigawo zamtendere za boma. Ndakhala ndikukonda izi ndipo nthawi zonse ndimaganiza kuti zikhala zochepa, kuti boma liyenera kutembenukira kumtendere wonse, osati m'dipatimenti imodzi yokha. Pakadali pano, asitikali aku US ndi CIA nthawi zina, monga ku Syria, amakhala ndi asitikali omwe ali ndi zida ndikuwaphunzitsa kumenyana wina ndi mnzake. Ngati Dipatimenti Yamtendere ku US ikutumiza anthu ku Venezuela pakali pano kuti athandize kupewa nkhondo, akanakhala otsutsana ndi mabungwe a US omwe akuyesera kuyambitsa nkhondo. US Institute of Peace samatsutsa, ndipo nthawi zina imathandizira, nkhondo zomwe boma likuchita.

Pachifukwa chomwechi, nthawi zonse ndakhala ndikukayikira lingaliro lomwe Mehta adalimbikitsa nalo losintha magulu ankhondo kukhala mabungwe omwe amachita zinthu zopanda chiwawa. Pali mbiri yakale ya asitikali aku US akunamizira kuchitapo kanthu pazifukwa zothandiza anthu. Koma chilichonse chomwe tingachite kuti tikhazikitse madipatimenti amtendere m'maboma, kapena malo amtendere kunja kwawo, ndimakonda.

Mehta akukhulupirira kuti pali ndalama zambiri m'matumba a anthu olemera komanso mabungwe omwe ali okonzeka kuziyika m'magulu amtendere. Amakhulupirira kuti zotsutsana zina kuti zitheke ndi zoyenera kupanga. Izi ndi zoona, koma satana ali mwatsatanetsatane. Kodi kulolerako ndiko kupeŵa kuimba mlandu oyambitsa nkhondo zazikulu kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi, kuyang'ana kwambiri mayiko osauka monga magwero a nkhondo. Kodi thandizo lazachuma ku malo omenyera nkhondo lidzachita zabwino zambiri zomwe zingachitidwe mwa kulimbikitsa mtendere m'malikulu achifumu akutali omwe akumenya nawo nkhondo?

“Chiwawa choopsa nthaŵi zambiri chimachitidwa ndi anyamata.” Apa akutsegula mutu 4. Koma kodi nzoona? Kodi sizochititsidwa ndi andale akale omwe amatha kupangitsa achinyamata, makamaka amuna, kuti awamvere? Ndithu ndi kuphatikiza kwa ziwirizi. Koma kukhazikitsa malo amtendere amene amaphunzitsa achinyamata za mtendere ndi kuwapatsa njira zina osati nkhondo n’kofunikadi.

Momwemonso kukulitsa kumvetsetsa kuti ndizothekadi kuti tisapitenso kunkhondo.
