By David Swanson, Mtsogoleri Wamkulu wa World BEYOND War, ndi Elizabeth Murray, a Gulu la Zero la Pansi la Zachiwawa, lofalitsidwa ndi Kitsap Dzuwa, January 24, 2021

Kuyambira Januware 18 mpaka February 14, zikwangwani zazikulu zinayi akukwera mmwamba mozungulira Seattle omwe amalengeza kuti "Zida za Nyukiliya Tsopano Zili Zosaloledwa. Awatulutseni mu Puget Sound! ”

Kodi izi zitanthauzanji? Zida za nyukiliya zitha kukhala zosasangalatsa, koma ndizosaloledwa bwanji, ndipo atha kukhala bwanji ku Puget Sound?

Kuyambira 1970, pansi pa Pangano la Nuclear Nonproliferation, mayiko ambiri aletsedwa kukhala ndi zida za nyukiliya, ndipo omwe ali nawo kale - kapena omwe ali mgwirizanowu, monga United States - akuyenera "kutsatira zokambirana mokhulupirika pazinthu zothandiza kuthana ndi kuthamanga zida zankhondo za nyukiliya kumayambiriro ndi zida zanyukiliya, ndi mgwirizano wapadziko lonse lapansi ndi zida zonse mothandizidwa mwamphamvu ndi mayiko onse. ”

Mosakayikira, US ndi maboma ena okhala ndi zida za nyukiliya atha zaka 50 osachita izi, ndipo mzaka zaposachedwa boma la US yang'ambika mapangano oletsa zida za nyukiliya, ndi zimayendetsedwa kwambiri pomanga zambiri.

Pogwirizana ndi mgwirizano womwewo, kwa zaka 50, boma la United States lakakamizidwa kuti "lisasunthire kwa aliyense wolandila zida zilizonse zanyukiliya kapena zida zina zanyukiliya kapena kuwongolera mwachindunji kapena mwanjira zina." Komabe, asitikali aku US amasunga zida za nyukiliya ku Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Italy, ndi Turkey. Titha kutsutsana ngati izi zikuphwanya panganoli, koma ayi kukwiya anthu mamiliyoni.

Zaka zitatu zapitazo, mayiko 122 adavota kuti apange pangano latsopano loletsa kupezeka kapena kugulitsa zida za nyukiliya, ndipo Pulogalamu Yadziko Lonse Yotsutsa Zida Zachikiliya adapambana Nobel Peace Prize. Pa Januwale 22, 2021, mgwirizano watsopanowu amakhala lamulo m'maiko opitilira 50 omwe avomereza mwalamulo, nambala yomwe ikukwera pang'onopang'ono ndipo ikuyembekezeka kufikira mayiko ambiri padziko lapansi posachedwa.

Kodi zimasiyana bwanji ndi mayiko omwe alibe zida za nyukiliya kuti awaletse? Kodi zikukhudzana bwanji ndi United States? Mayiko ambiri analetsa mabomba okwirira ndi mabomba amitundu. United States sinatero. Koma zida zidasalidwa. Ogulitsa padziko lonse adachotsa ndalama zawo. Makampani aku US adasiya kuzipanga, ndipo asitikali aku US adachepetsa ndipo mwina atha kugwiritsa ntchito. Kuchotsedwa kwa zida za nyukiliya ndi mabungwe akuluakulu azachuma wachoka m'zaka zaposachedwa, ndipo titha kuyembekezeranso kuti iziyenda bwino.

Kusintha, kuphatikiza machitidwe ngati ukapolo ndi kugwiritsa ntchito ana, zakhala zikuchitika padziko lonse lapansi kuposa momwe munthu angalembere kuchokera ku mbiri yakale yaku US. Padziko lonse lapansi, kukhala ndi zida za nyukiliya kumaganiziridwa ngati mkhalidwe waboma. Chimodzi mwazinthu zabodzazi chimasunga zida zina zosasangalatsa ku Puget Sound.

Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor imakhala ndi sitima zapamadzi zisanu ndi zitatu za Trident ndipo mwina zida zanyukiliya zazikulu kwambiri padziko lapansi. Bishopu wakale wa Seattle a Raymond Hunthausen amadziwika kuti Kitsap-Bangor ndi "Auschwitz ya Puget Sound." Sitima zapamadzi zatsopano zanyukiliya tsopano zikukonzekera kutumizidwa ku Kitsap-Bangor. Zida zazing'ono kwambiri za nyukiliya pamayendedwe am'madzi awa, modabwitsa okonza asitikali aku US ngati "ogwiritsika ntchito" ali ndi mphamvu zowirikiza kawiri kapena katatu kuposa zomwe zidaponyedwa ku Hiroshima.

Kodi anthu aku Seattle amathandizira izi? Zachidziwikire kuti sitidafunsidwapo. Kusunga zida za nyukiliya ku Puget Sound si demokalase. Komanso sizokhazikika. Zimatengera ndalama zosowa kwambiri kwa anthu ndi malo athu ndikuziyika m'manja mwa zida zowononga chilengedwe zomwe zimawonjezera chiopsezo cha kuphedwa kwa zida za nyukiliya. Asayansi Doomsday Clock ikuyandikira pakati pausiku kuposa kale lonse. Ngati mukufuna kuthandizira kuyibwezeretsanso, kapena kuthana nayo, mutha kutenga nawo gawo pa Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action komanso World BEYOND War.
