Kuyankha kunkhondo ku Ukraine sikumangokhalira kusankha pakati pa pacifism ndi mphamvu zankhondo.
Kusachita zachiwawa ndi zochuluka kuposa pacifism. Kusachita zachiwawa kumachitidwa ndi makampeni apakati padziko lonse lapansi kuti akane kuponderezana, kuteteza ufulu wa anthu, ngakhale kugwetsa olamulira ankhanza —popanda zida zakupha.
Mutha kupeza njira zopitilira 300 zosachita zachiwawa komanso makampeni otchuka 1200+ Global Nonviolent Action Database. kuwonjezera Nkhani Zosavomerezeka ndi Kuchita Zosagwirizana ku chakudya chanu cha sabata iliyonse ndikuphunzira za kukana kosachita zachiwawa padziko lonse lapansi.
Kusachita zachiwawa kumachokera m'zochita zomwe timagwiritsa ntchito tsiku ndi tsiku - kugwirizana, kuthana ndi mavuto m'mabanja ndi m'mabungwe, kulimbana ndi ndondomeko zopanda chilungamo, ndikupanga njira zina ndi mabungwe - pogwiritsa ntchito chuma chathu, kuchita zinthu mwaumunthu.
Chinthu choyamba ndi kumvetsera. Imani ndikumva zachiwawa. Chisoni ndi anthu a ku Ukraine ndi mabanja a asilikali omwe anakakamizika kumenyana ndi kufa pankhondo (UN ikuyerekeza kuti asilikali a ku Russia 100,000 ndi anthu 8,000 a ku Ukraine aphedwa).
Chachiwiri, yesetsani kuchita zinthu zothandiza anthu.
Chachitatu, phunziranipo War Resisters International momwe angakulitsire mgwirizano ndi omwe ali ku Russia, Ukraine ndi Belarus omwe amakana kumenya nkhondo, omwe amatsutsa, kupirira ndende, ndi kuthawa.
Chachinayi, phunzirani mbiri yakale yosagwirizana ndi kuponderezedwa, kuwukira, ndi ntchito. Pamene mayiko akunja analanda Denmark, Norway (WW II), India (British colonialism), Poland, Estonia (Soviets), kukana kopanda chiwawa nthawi zambiri kunagwira ntchito bwino kuposa ziwawa zachiwawa.
Udindo wa ndale umapita patsogolo. Gandhi, asayansi andale Gene Sharp, Jamila Raqibndipo Erica Chenoweth anapeza kuti mphamvu zimadaliradi “chilolezo cha olamuliridwa.” Mphamvu zimakwera ndikugwera pa mgwirizano wotchuka kapena kusagwira ntchito.
Chofunika kwambiri, njira siziyenera kukhala zotseguka, zokana kudzipha. Anthu a ku India anakana kugwirizana nawo, ndi kumenyedwa ndi kunyanyala, ndipo adanena kuti ali ndi mphamvu zawo zachuma zamudzi, kugonjetsa ufumu wa Britain. Anthu akuda aku South Africa adachita ziwawa koma mpaka adanyanyala ndipo adagwirizana nawo pakunyanyala kwa mayiko omwe adathetsa tsankho.
Dr. King anachenjeza kuti zankhondo, kusankhana mitundu komanso kugwiritsa ntchito chuma ndi zoyipa zitatu zachiwawa zomwe zimalimbitsana ndikuwopseza moyo wa America. King anali omveka bwino m'mawu ake a Beyond Vietnam kuti anti-militarism ndi yoposa nkhondo. Dongosolo lonse la ndalama zankhondo, magulu ankhondo padziko lonse lapansi, zida zowonongera anthu ambiri, komanso chikhalidwe chaulemu wankhondo zidapangitsa anthu aku America kulekerera "anthu omwe amayambitsa chiwawa padziko lonse lapansi," adatero King.
M'malo mophunzira kuchokera ku Nkhondo ya Vietnam, a US adayankha 2,996 imfa zoopsa pa 9 / 11 ndi nkhondo ku Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, ndi Pakistan, zomwe zinachititsa kuti 387,072 aphedwe mwachiwawa. US imathandizira olamulira ankhanza padziko lonse lapansi ndikugulitsa zida, kulanda boma kwa CIA, komanso kugonjetsedwa kwa demokalase. US ndi wokonzeka kuwononga moyo wonse wa anthu ndi zida za nyukiliya.
Pacifism ndi kukana kumenya nkhondo. Kukana kopanda chiwawa ndi njira zambiri zomwe anthu amagwiritsa ntchito pokana mphamvu zankhondo.
Ku Ukraine, tiyeni tipemphe kuti mamembala athu osankhidwa a Congress apangitse Purezidenti kuumirira kuti Ukraine ikambirane kuti athetse moto ndi kuletsa nkhondo. US iyenera kulimbikitsa kuti Ukraine ikhale dziko losalowerera ndale. Tiyeni tithandizire kukana kopanda chiwawa kwa anthu komanso thandizo lothandizira anthu.
Ambiri amalungamitsa chiwawa m’dzina la mtendere. Mtendere wamtunduwu ndiwo umene Tacitus wakale wachiroma anautcha “chipululu.”
Ife omwe tikukhala mu "amphamvu kwambiri" United States of America titha kuchita zinthu zopanda chiwawa mwa kusalungamitsanso kuti asitikali aku US alowe nawo mkangano uliwonse, kusiya kutumiza zida kwa ena, kubweza ndalama zowononga zida zankhondo zomwe timathandizira ndi misonkho ndi mavoti athu, ndi kumanga mphamvu zenizeni zozikidwa pa luso laumunthu ndi luso, ndi kupambana kwa kukana kopanda chiwawa kukuchitika padziko lonse lapansi.
