Ndi David Swanson, World BEYOND War, April 11, 2023
The New York Times Amanena zabodza zambiri kuposa zachabechabe zomwe zimafalitsa za zida ku Iraq. Nazi chitsanzo. Phukusi labodzali limatchedwa "Liberals Ali ndi Blind Spot on Defense" koma silinena chilichonse chokhudzana ndi chitetezo. Zimangoyerekezera kuti zankhondo zimadzitchinjiriza pogwiritsa ntchito mawuwo komanso kunama kuti "tikukumana ndi ziwopsezo zankhondo zaku Russia ndi China zomwe zikukulirakulira panthawi imodzi." Mozama? Kuti?
Bajeti yankhondo yaku US ndi yochulukirapo kuposa ya mayiko ambiri padziko lapansi kuphatikiza. Mayiko 29 okha, mwa 200 padziko lapansi, amawononga ngakhale 1 peresenti ya zomwe US imachita. Mwa 29 amenewo, 26 yathunthu ndi makasitomala aku US zida. Ambiri mwa iwo amalandira zida zaulere zaku US ndi/kapena maphunziro komanso/kapena amakhala ndi maziko aku US m'maiko awo. Makasitomala amodzi okha omwe si ogwirizana, osagwiritsa ntchito zida (ngakhale wothandizana nawo m'ma laboratories ofufuza za zida zankhondo) amawononga 10% zomwe US imachita, yomwe ndi China, yomwe inali pa 37% ya ndalama zomwe US amagwiritsa ntchito mu 2021 ndipo mwina zilinso chimodzimodzi pakali pano. Kuwonjezeka kochititsa mantha komwe kumanenedwa m'manyuzipepala aku US komanso pansi pa Congress. (Sikuganizira za zida za ku Ukraine ndi ndalama zina za US.) Ngakhale kuti US yakhazikitsa malo ankhondo kuzungulira Russia ndi China, palibenso gulu lankhondo pafupi ndi United States, komanso silinaopseze United States.
Tsopano, ngati simukufuna kudzaza dziko lonse lapansi ndi zida za US ndikukwiyitsa Russia ndi China pamalire awo, New York Times ali ndi mabodza ena owonjezera kwa inu: "Kuwononga ndalama zodzitetezera kumangogwiritsa ntchito ndondomeko yamakampani apanyumba - yokhala ndi ntchito zambiri zolipira bwino, zamaluso apamwamba - monga gawo lina lililonse laukadaulo wapamwamba."
Ayi, sichoncho. Pafupifupi njira ina iliyonse yowonongera ndalama za boma, kapena kusakhoma msonkho poyamba, imatulutsa ntchito zambiri ndi zabwino.
Nayi doozie:
“Anthu omasuka nawonso kale ankadana ndi asilikali poganiza kuti iwo anapotoza mbali yakumanja, koma zimenezi n’zovuta kunena pamene oyenerera akudandaula za ‘nkhondo yodzuka.’”
Kodi padziko lapansi zingatanthauze chiyani kutsutsa kuphedwa kwa anthu ambiri chifukwa kumakhota mapiko oyenera? Ndi chiyani chinanso chomwe chingasokoneze? Ndimatsutsa zankhondo chifukwa zimapha, kuwononga, kuwononga Dziko Lapansi, kumayambitsa kusowa pokhala ndi matenda ndi umphawi, kumalepheretsa mgwirizano wapadziko lonse, kugwetsa malamulo, kumalepheretsa kudzilamulira, kumapanga masamba opusa kwambiri a New York Times, kumalimbikitsa tsankho, ndikuyambitsa nkhondo apolisi, komanso chifukwa alipo njira zabwino kuthetsa mikangano ndi ku kukana zankhondo za ena. Sindidzayamba kusangalala ndi kupha anthu ambiri chifukwa mkulu wina sadana ndi magulu.
Ndiye pali bodza ili: "Boma la Biden likuwonetsa kukula kwa pempho lake la $ 842 biliyoni, ndipo mwadzina ndilo lalikulu kwambiri. Koma izi sizikutanthauza kukwera kwa inflation. "
Mukayang'ana ndalama zankhondo zaku US malinga ndi SIPRI mu madola 2021 mosalekeza kuyambira 1949 mpaka pano (zaka zonse zomwe amapereka, ndi mawerengedwe awo kusintha kwa inflation), mbiri ya Obama 2011 mwina kugwa chaka chino. Mukayang'ana manambala enieni, osasintha kukwera kwa mitengo, Biden wakhazikitsa mbiri yatsopano chaka chilichonse. Ngati muwonjezera zida zaulere ku Ukraine, ndiye, ngakhale kusintha kwa inflation, mbiriyo inagwa chaka chathachi ndipo mwinamwake idzasweka kachiwiri m'chaka chomwe chikubwera.
Mudzamva mitundu yonse ya manambala osiyanasiyana, kutengera zomwe zikuphatikizidwa. Zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri mwina ndi $ 886 biliyoni pazomwe a Biden akufuna, zomwe zikuphatikiza asitikali, zida zanyukiliya, ndi zina mwa "Homeland Security." Popanda kukakamizidwa kwakukulu kwa anthu pamutu womwe anthu sakudziwa kuti ulipo, titha kudalira chiwonjezeko cha Congress, kuphatikiza milu yayikulu ya zida zaulere ku Ukraine. Kwa nthawi yoyamba, ndalama zowonongera zankhondo zaku US (osawerengera ndalama zosiyanasiyana zachinsinsi, zomwe zidagwiritsidwa ntchito kale, ndi zina zotero) zitha kupitilira $ 950 biliyoni monga zidanenedweratu. Pano.
Maboti onunkhira omwe amathandizidwa ndi nkhondo amakonda kuona ndalama zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito pankhondo ngati ntchito yothandiza anthu kuti iyesedwe ngati gawo la "chuma" kapena GDP, ngati kuti dziko likakhala ndi ndalama zambiri, liyenera kuwononga ndalama zambiri. Pali njira ziwiri zomveka zowonera. Onse akhoza kuwonedwa pa Mapu a Militarism.
Imodzi ndi ndalama zophweka pa fuko lililonse. M'mawu awa, US ili pachiwopsezo chambiri komanso ikukwera kutali kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi.
Njira ina yowonera ndi munthu aliyense. Mofanana ndi kuyerekezera ndalama zonse, munthu amayenera kupita kutali kuti apeze adani aliwonse a boma la US. Koma pano Russia ikudumphira pamwamba pamndandandawo, kuwononga 20% yonse ya zomwe US imachita pa munthu aliyense, ndikungowononga ndalama zosakwana 9% mu madola onse. Mosiyana ndi izi, China imatsika pamndandandawo, kuwononga ndalama zosakwana 9% pamunthu aliyense zomwe United States imachita, pomwe ikugwiritsa ntchito 37% m'madola athunthu. Iran, pakadali pano, imagwiritsa ntchito 5% pa munthu aliyense zomwe US imachita, poyerekeza ndi kupitilira 1% pakugwiritsa ntchito ndalama zonse.
athu New York Times mnzake akulemba kuti US ikufunika kuwononga zambiri kuti ilamulire nyanja zinayi, pomwe China ikufunika kuda nkhawa ndi imodzi yokha. Koma apa chikhumbo cha US chofuna kuchitira mpikisano wachuma ngati njira yankhondo imapangitsa kuti wothirira ndemangayo asamve kuti kusowa kwa nkhondo kumathandizira kupambana kwachuma. Monga Jimmy Carter adauza a Donald Trump, "Kuyambira 1979, kodi mukudziwa kuti China yakhala ikumenya nkhondo kangati ndi aliyense? Palibe. Ndipo takhala pankhondo. . . . China sanawononge ndalama imodzi pankhondo, ndichifukwa chake ali patsogolo pathu. Pafupifupi m’njira iliyonse.”
Koma mutha kusiya mpikisano wopusa wazachuma ndikumvetsetsabe phindu loyika ndalama pazinthu zina osati imfa kuyambira pamenepo ting'onoting'ono ta ndalama zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito pankhondo zitha kusintha United States ndi dziko lonse lapansi. Ndithudi pakanatsala zinthu zina zambiri zabodza.
Mayankho a 6
Kagawo kakang'ono ka ndalama zankhondo zomwe mwatchula m'ndime yapitayi, Seymour Hersh akulemba za m'nkhani yake yaposachedwa yokhudza boma la mafia ku Banderastan. Lingaliro la Bugsy Siegel waku Kiev kugwiritsa ntchito ndalama za okhometsa misonkho ku US pomwe Norfolk Southern akutsamwitsa nzika zaku East Palestine kapena malarkey Joe pa 05/11 akuthamangitsa anthu mamiliyoni ambiri kuti asamapeze chithandizo chamankhwala ndikokwanira kupangitsa anthu kuthamangira m'manja mwa munthu yemwe akuimbidwa mlandu. pulezidenti.
Chonde musatukwane Bambo Siegel powafanizira ndi twerp yaying'ono ija.
"Purezidenti wakale wozengedwa mlandu" amagwiririra ana pafupipafupi, ndiye kuti palibe amene angavotere chipani chilichonse cha purezidenti. Onse awiri amanyambita nsapato za Israeli. RNC ndi DNC sizidzalola pulezidenti wotsutsana ndi nkhondo, kapena amene amasamalira ubwino wa nzika, kapena amene amasamalira ana, nyama ndi zomera, madzi ndi chitetezo cha mpweya. Tamizidwa ndi kukakamira ndi oyambitsa nkhondo. Adzapitirizabe kuchita zimenezi mpaka dziko litawonongedwa. Pakadali pano, tidzataya ufulu wachibadwidwe, kuwongolera ndalama zathu (CBDC), komanso chizindikiritso chathu chomwe posachedwapa chikhala cha AI. Zilekeni. Kuyesera kwakung'ono kumeneku pa mpira wawung'ono wabuluu woyandama mumlengalenga ndikolephera.
Kodi bajeti ya asitikali aku US ndi ndalama zapenshoni?
Nthawi zambiri ndalama zogwiritsira ntchito zida zankhondo zimasiyidwa pakuwerengera ndalama zomwe zagwiritsidwa ntchito pankhondo, ndipo zimawonjezeranso $ 100 biliyoni kuphatikiza ngati zikuphatikizidwa. https://www.nationalpriorities.org/budget-basics/federal-budget-101/spending/
Kodi tiyenera kubwereza kangati:
Dziko limene likupitirizabe kuwononga ndalama zambiri pachitetezo cha asilikali kusiyana ndi kuchita zinthu zolimbikitsa anthu, likuyandikira imfa yauzimu.
Ine ndi ena ambiri sitidzavotera a Biden kapena a Democrats pokhapokha ngati nkhondo yakupha yaku Ukraine-Russia yokhudza ufumuwo itatha pamodzi ndi chiwopsezo (masekondi 30 mpaka pakati pausiku) cha nkhondo ya nyukiliya komanso kufunikira kwa ndalama pazosowa za anthu ndi kuwononga zonsezi. gulu lankhondo lomwe limayika matumba abizinesi yachitetezo ndi mafakitale amafuta ndi gasi pokhala owononga kwambiri CO2 ndi zowononga zina zomwe zimayambitsa kuwonongeka kwa chilengedwe komanso kuwonongeka komwe kumawonjezera vuto lanyengo mokulira, mwachitsanzo, maphunziro ankhondo omwe amaphunzitsidwa. kuchitidwa chaka ndi chaka ndi US Navy ndi ogwirizana US kusiya zambiri zoipitsa mankhwala mu nyanja. Ndipo ndiye nsonga chabe ya iceburg. Misala yotere. Ndipo New York Times ikukankhira izo. Ma media athu odziwika bwino akhudzidwa ndi misala.
