Joe ndi Vlad ku Land of Stories

Ndi David Swanson, World BEYOND War, February 4, 2023

M'buku la ana la Chris Colfer lotchedwa Dziko la Nkhani: Chenjezo La Grimm, gulu lankhondo lachi French la Napoleonic la asilikali, mfuti, malupanga, ndi mizinga akufika ku dziko la nthano kumene Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty, ndi mitundu yonse ya anthu ofanana ndi fairies amakhala.

Mtsikana yemwe amayang'anira malowa nthawi yomweyo amayamba kukonza magulu ankhondo kuti amenyane ndi adaniwo. Kodi angasankhe chiyani? Chabwino, pali zifukwa zingapo, zomwe zimakhala zosiyana ndi nkhaniyi, kuti uku sikusuntha kwanzeru mosakayikira komwe mosakayika wolemba ndi pafupifupi owerenga ake onse amaganiza.

Mtsikanayo mwamatsenga amanyamula gulu lankhondo lalikulu m'masekondi pang'ono kupita kumalo kuti akamenyane ndi adaniwo. Kuthekera konyamula adaniwo kupita pachilumba chopanda anthu kapena kwina kulikonse sikuganiziridwa.

Mtsikanayo amasintha zida pafupi naye kukhala maluwa. Kuthekera kochita izi kumfuti zonse ndi mizinga sikuganiziridwa konse.

Mtsikanayo, yemwenso ndi nthano, ndi zifaniziro zina zosiyanasiyana amalanda asilikali pakufuna ndi matsenga, ngakhale kulodza zomera m'munda mwawo kuchita chimodzimodzi. Kuthekera kochita zimenezo en masse sichimaganiziridwa konse.

Pokhapokha pamene mbali ziwirizo zikuchita chipongwe chakupha anthu ambiri, mchimwene wake wa mtsikanayo amatchula gulu lankhondo lotsutsa kuti malo amatsenga omwe adadutsa adatenga zaka 200, kotero kuti kumenyera ufumu wa France wa m'zaka za zana la 19 sikuthekanso. Lingaliro lakunena chilichonse kwa adani nkhondo isanachitike - chilichonse cholepheretsa kapena kuunikira kapena kuwopseza kapena china chilichonse - sichimaganiziridwa.

Kufunika kokhala nkhondo m'nkhaniyi, monga momwe zimakhalira m'moyo weniweni, sikungoganiziridwa; zimaganiziridwa mwakachetechete. Lingaliro loti munthu ayenera kukhala ndi zifukwa zilizonse zomenyera nkhondo silinatchulidwe nkomwe kapenanso kutchulidwa. Choncho, palibe mafunso kapena kukayikira komwe kumadzutsidwa. Ndipo palibe kutsutsana koonekeratu pamene anthu osiyanasiyana m’nkhaniyi apeza nthaŵi ya kunyada, kulimba mtima, mgwirizano, chisangalalo, kubwezera, ndi chisangalalo chachisoni pankhondoyo. Ngakhale zochepa zomwe sizinatchulidwe ndi chinsinsi chozama chomwe, pamene nkhondoyi ndithudi m'njira zambiri sichifunidwa, m'njira zina imafunidwa kwambiri.

Nkhondo yeniyeniyo, monga momwe zimakhalira m'moyo weniweni, imakhala yosawoneka. Otchulidwa kwambiri amakonza malo ophera anthu ambiri momwe, pamapeto pake, ophedwa ambiri amaphedwa ndi malupanga. Kakhalidwe kakang'ono kozindikirika kamene kamaphedwa ngati chizindikiro cha imfa. Koma apo ayi kupha kulibe siteji ngakhale kuti nkhaniyo ndi yeniyeni momwe kupha kukuchitika. Palibe kutchulidwa magazi, matumbo, minyewa, miyendo yosowa, masanzi, mantha, misozi, matemberero, misala, chimbudzi, thukuta, kuwawa, kubuula, kulira, kukuwa. Palibe munthu m'modzi wovulazidwa yemwe angatsutsidwe. Chiwerengero chachikulu cha akufa chikutchulidwa m’chiganizo chimodzi kukhala “chotayika,” ndipo pambuyo pake pamakhala mwambo “wokongola” wowalemekeza.

Msungwana yemwe anali atakonzekera kale mbali imodzi ya nkhondoyo, panthawi yokwiya chifukwa choperekedwa ndi bwenzi lake "amapweteka" asilikali ochepa mwamatsenga ndi mwankhanza kuwawombera kwa yemwe akudziwa kumene ndi ndodo yamatsenga. Ngakhale kuti zikwizikwi ( mwakachetechete ndi mopanda ululu) akufa m’nkhondo za malupanga momzungulira iye, iye ali ndi nthaŵi yamaganizo yodzikayikira ponena za mtundu wa munthu amene iye wakhala amene akanavulaza mwakuthupi asilikali oŵerengeka amene anali kumuukira.

Uwu ndiye mulingo wakuya wosawoneka wopezedwa ndi nkhondo: kusawoneka kwamakhalidwe. Tonse tikudziwa kuti ngati Joe Biden kapena Vladimir Putin adajambulidwa akumenya mtolankhani wachikazi pakamwa ntchito zawo zikadatha. Koma kuyambitsa nkhondo yomwe imapha anthu zikwizikwi sikuwoneka. Ngakhale nkhondo ya ku Ukraine, yowonekera kwambiri kuposa nkhondo zambiri, imakhala yosawonekera, ndipo imamveka kuti iyenera kudandaula poyamba chifukwa cha ndalama zake zachuma, chachiwiri chifukwa cha kuopsa kwa apocalypse ya nyukiliya yapadziko lonse (ngakhale ngakhale izi ziri bwino. ndizoyenera kuyimirira Putin!) koma osati kukhala chikondwerero chakupha anthu ambiri ndi chiwonongeko.

Ku Land of Stories, mutha kugwedeza ndodo ndikusintha mizere yamfuti zoyandikira kukhala maluwa. Munthu sachita zimenezo, chifukwa nkhondo ndiyo nkhani yamtengo wapatali kwambiri; koma wina akhoza kuchita.

Ku Ukraine, palibe matsenga amatsenga. Koma palibe chofunika. Timafunikira mphamvu zokha kuti tileke kuletsa zokambirana, mphamvu zosiya kupereka zida zopanda malire, ndi mphamvu zotengera njira zotsimikizirika kuti zithetse nkhondo ku Eastern Europe ndikugonjera ku ulamuliro wa malamulo apadziko lonse kuti tikambirane njira yamtendere. Palibe matsenga awa.

Koma kugwedeza matsenga a kupembedza kwa nkhondo omwe afalikira pa chikhalidwe chathu: zingakhale zamatsenga ndithu.
