Ndi Medea Benjamin, The Guardian.

Trump adaponya bomba lalikulu lomwe silina nyukiliya lomwe lidagwiritsidwapo ntchito ku Afghanistan Lachinayi. Kodi kukwera uku kukupita kuti?

Ndimachita bwino kwambiri pankhondo. Ndimakonda nkhondo mwanjira inayake, " kudzikuza Donald Trump pa msonkhano wa kampeni ku Iowa. Uyu ndi Donald Trump yemweyo yemwe adapewa kulembedwa kwa Vietnam ponena kuti fupa la phazi lake, vuto lachipatala lomwe silinamulepheretse kupita ku mabwalo a tennis kapena masewera a gofu, ndipo adachiritsidwa yekha mozizwitsa.

Koma pakuchulukirachulukira kwa asitikali aku US ku Syria, kuchuluka kwa ziwawa za drone ku Yemen, asitikali aku US akutumizidwa ku Middle East ndipo, tsopano, kugwetsa bomba lalikulu ku Afghanistan, zikuwoneka kuti Trump akhozadi kukonda nkhondo. Kapena, kondani "kusewera" nkhondo.

Ku Syria, Trump adapita kukaponya mizinga 59 ya Tomahawk. Tsopano, mu Afghanistan, wasankha “chida chapamwamba”, chomwe ndi chachiwiri chachikulu kwambiri mwa mabomba osakhala a nyukiliya a asilikali a ku United States. Kuphulika kwa mapaundi 21,600, komwe sikunagwiritsidwepo ntchito pankhondo, kunagwiritsidwa ntchito kuphulitsa mulu wa ngalande ndi mapanga m'chigawo cha Afghanistan pafupi ndi malire a Pakistan.

Mwalamulo amatchedwa Massive Ordinance Air Blast Bomb (MOAB), dzina lake lotchulidwira - "mayi wa mabomba onse” – reeks of misogyny, monga palibe mayi amakonda mabomba.

Asilikali akuwunikabe zotsatira za kuphulika kwa MOAB ndipo akuumirira kuti "adachita chilichonse kuti apewe kuvulala kwa anthu wamba". Koma popeza chidachi chikukulirakulira komanso mphamvu zake (mawerengedwe a makina oyerekeza akuwonetsa zotsatira za bomba lomwe likufika pamtunda wa kilomita imodzi mbali iliyonse), kuwonongeka kwa madera ozungulira kungakhale kwakukulu.

Mu lipoti losatsimikizika, phungu wa ku Nangarhar, Esmatullah Shinwari, adati anthu ammudzi adamuuza mphunzitsi m'modzi ndipo mwana wake wamwamuna waphedwa. Bambo wina, phungu wa phunguyo anafotokoza motero, anamuuza matelefoni asanaime kuti: “Ndinakulira m’nkhondo, ndipo ndamva kuphulika kwamitundu yosiyanasiyana m’zaka 30: kuukira kwa kudzipha, zivomezi zamitundumitundu za kuphulika. Sindinamvepo zinthu ngati zimenezi.”

Lingaliro loti asitikali aku US atha kugonjetsa adani ndi mphamvu zamlengalenga sizodabwitsa, koma mbiri imafotokoza nkhani ina. Asilikali aku US adaponya mabomba opitilira matani XNUMX miliyoni kum'mwera chakum'mawa kwa Asia ndipo adatayabe nkhondo ya Vietnam.

M'masiku oyamba ankhondo yaku Afghanistan, tidauzidwa kuti ndege zaku US sizingafanane ndi anthu okonda zachipembedzo cha Taliban, osauka, osaphunzira. Zowonadi, tidawona kalambulabwalo wa MOAB yomwe idagwiritsidwa ntchito pambuyo pa kuukira kwa US ku 2001. Anali otchedwa Daisy Cutter, wotchulidwa ndi mawonekedwe a crater yomwe imachoka, yolemera mapaundi a 15,000.

Asitikali aku US adaponyanso mabasi okwana mapaundi 5,000 kuti awombe mapanga pomwe Osama bin Laden adabisala kumapiri a Tora Bora. Boma la Bush lidadzitamandira kuti ndege yodabwitsayi iwonetsetsa kuti a Taliban atha. Izi zinali zaka 16 zapitazo, ndipo tsopano asilikali a US akumenyana ndi a Taliban okha komanso Isis, omwe adawonekera koyamba m'dziko lankhondo ili mu 2014.

Ndiye, kodi tikuyenera kukhulupirira kuti kumasula mphamvu yakupha ya MOAB kudzakhala kusintha kwamasewera? Kodi chidzachitike ndi chiyani zikadzawonekera, komabe, kuti mphamvu ya ndege sikwanira? Pali kale asitikali pafupifupi 8,500 aku US ku Afghanistan. Kodi a Trump atikokera mozama munkhondo yosatha iyi popereka mkulu wankhondo waku Afghanistan, a General John Nicholson, pempho lake lofuna asitikali ena masauzande angapo?

Kulowererapo kwankhondo kochulukirapo sikungapambane pankhondo yaku Afghanistan, koma mwina kudzapambana mavoti abwino a Trump pamasankho, monga adatulukira ndi kumenyedwa kwa zida za Syria.

Kuphulitsa maiko ena kumachotsa chidwi pazovuta zapakhomo za a Trump, koma mwina m'malo motamandidwa ndi a Trump mwiniwake, ndi mafani ake ndi otsutsa, tiyenera kumafunsa: kodi kukwera uku kukupita kuti?

Purezidenti uyu alibe mbiri yoganiza mozama kapena kukonzekera kwanthawi yayitali. Trump adauza atolankhani kuti kuphulitsa uku kunali "ntchito ina yopambana kwambiri", koma atafunsidwa za njira yayitali sanapezeke. Anapatutsa funso loti ngati iye mwiniyo adalamula kuti bomba liphulitsidwe kapena ayi popereka yankho limodzi lazankho loti ali ndi gulu lankhondo lalikulu kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi.

mu mawu kuphulika kwa MOAB kutangophulika, Congressman wa Democratic, Barbara Lee wochokera ku California anati: "Purezidenti Trump ali ndi ngongole kwa anthu a ku America kufotokoza za kukwera kwake kwa asilikali ku Afghanistan ndi njira yake yogonjetsa Isis. Palibe purezidenti yemwe ayenera kukhala ndi cheke chopanda kanthu cha nkhondo yosatha, makamaka Purezidenti uyu, yemwe akuchita popanda cheke kapena kuyang'aniridwa ndi Congress yolamulidwa ndi Republican. "

“Mayi wa mabomba onse” ameneyu komanso kukondetsa nkhondo kumene Trump wapeza sikungathandize amayi a ku Afghanistan, omwe ambiri mwa iwo ndi akazi amasiye amene akuvutika kusamalira mabanja awo amuna awo ataphedwa. Mtengo wa $ 16m pakuphulika kumodzi uku ukadatha kupereka zoposa 50 miliyoni kudya kwa ana a Afghanistan.

Kapenanso, ndi buku loyambilira la Trump la "America Choyamba" - mawu omwe adachokera kwa anthu odzipatula komanso okonda chipani cha Nazi muzaka za m'ma 1940 - ndalama zomwe zidagwiritsidwa ntchito pa bomba limodzili zikanathandiza amayi aku America pochepetsa kuchepetsa zomwe a Trump akufuna m'mapulogalamu omaliza kusukulu ovuta kwambiri. kwa ana awo.

Chala chosangalatsa cha Trump chikusamalira dziko lapansi m'njira yosasamala komanso yowopsa, osati kungokulitsa kulowererapo kwa US pamikangano yomwe ikupitilira koma kuwopseza zatsopano ndi zida zanyukiliya kuchokera ku Russia kupita ku North Korea.

Mwina nthawi yakwana yoti gulu latsopano lokana kutsutsa lotchedwa MOAB: Amayi a Ana Onse, pomwe azimayi amasonkhana kuti aletse nkhanza, pulezidenti wokonda nkhondoyu kuti aphulitse makanda athu onse poyambitsa Nkhondo Yachitatu Yapadziko Lonse.
