Ndi David Swanson, World BEYOND War, September 27, 2023
Ndemanga ku Charlottesville, Va - Video apa.

Nkhondo ndi mtendere zingakhale nkhani yosavuta. Timapanga zovuta kwambiri. Anthu amanena ndi kuchita zinthu zimene ine nthawi imodzi ndikufuna kukondwera ndi kutsutsa.

Sabata ino Senator Rand Paul adati akufuna kusiya kuthandizira Ukraine kuti athandizire United States. Mawu akuti "kuthandizira Ukraine" ndiachidule polimbikitsa nkhondo yomwe ikuwononga Ukraine, kuwononga dziko lapansi, ndikuwopseza apocalypse ya nyukiliya. "Support Ukraine" amatanthauza kusunga zida, kuphatikizapo kulimbikira kuti zida zidzapitirizabe kubwera malinga ngati Ukraine ivomereza kuti isapange mtendere.

Ndalama zina zimapita kuzinthu zina osati zida, ndipo - m'malo modabwitsa - anthu amawona izi kukhala zokhumudwitsa kwambiri. Ndi chinthu chimodzi kuthandizira kupha anthu ambiri mopanda nzeru, komanso kuthandizira zosowa za anthu - ndizonyansa!

Koma pa kanema wawayilesi Mphindi 60, ndizosiyana ndi zonyansa. Thandizo ku Ukraine, monga momwe chiwonetserochi chikusonyezera, ndikupereka ndalama kwa amalonda abwino a capitalist ndi ndalama zoyambira ndipo, inde, zina zimapita ku akasinja, koma akasinja ndi zida zodzitetezera, monga zida, zomwe zimapulumutsa miyoyo chifukwa asilikali omwe ali mkati mwawo. sangawombedwe kapena kuwomberedwa ndi migodi. Zodabwitsa kuti Bradley Fighting Vehicles alipo kuti aphe ndi kuwononga ndizotayika kwathunthu komanso mwadala. Palibe kudzitamandira ndi kuchuluka kwa thupi pano, kungobwereza kuthokoza kwa anthu olimba mtima aku America

Kuvota ndi chimodzimodzi. Chiwerengero chochulukirachulukira cha anthu aku US - ambiri m'mavoti ena, komanso kuchuluka kwamavoti onse - akufuna kusiya kuthandizira kapena kuthandiza Ukraine. Koma kodi zimenezi zikutanthauza chiyani? Bwanji ngati ndikufuna kuthandiza Ukraine? Nanga bwanji ngati ndingawaganizire anthu aku Ukraine, ndipo chifukwa chake anthu aku Somali ndi Yemenis ndi Asiriya ndi Venezuela, ndi ofunika chimodzimodzi monga okhala ku US? Nanga bwanji ngati ndikufuna kuti boma la US lisiye kutsutsa zokambirana zamtendere ndikusiya kudzipereka kwake kutumiza zida zambiri, koma kutumiza dziko lonse lapansi, kuphatikiza United States palokha, mokulirapo muzothandizira zenizeni? Nanga bwanji ngati kuthandiza anthu aku Hawaii sikofunika kwambiri kuposa kupha anthu aku Ukraine chifukwa cha mapasipoti omwe anthu aku Hawaii ali nawo koma chifukwa kupha anthu aku Ukraine sikuthandiza kapena kuthandiza kapena kuthandiza anthu aku Ukraine konse?

Tikukhala m'zaka zachilendo kwambiri zomwe kugwiritsa ntchito ndalama pa imfa ndi chiwonongeko kumamveka ngati philanthropy, momwe boma la US limagwiritsa ntchito maboma ena kuti awononge ndalama pa zida monga gawo la chuma chawo, ngati kuti zida ndizothandiza anthu, ntchito. zomwe nzika zapadziko lonse lapansi ziyenera kupereka. Mukangolowetsa lingaliro lakuti zankhondo ndi zabwino kwa inu, ngakhale zimabweretsa nkhondo, ndipo ngakhale kuti ndalama zochepa za ndalamazo zimatha kuthetsa umphawi kapena kupanga mgwirizano watsopano wobiriwira kupitirira zongopeka za ogulitsa atsopano obiriwira, ndipo kamodzi inu. 'Mwapereka malingaliro anu kuti mukhulupirire kuti chigonjetso chayandikira kwamuyaya, ndikuti mdani ndiwowopsa komanso wamatsenga wowopseza mphamvu yachinsinsi yaufulu (ngakhale Ukraine ikuletsa zisankho, zipani zotsutsa, ndi kulankhula mwaufulu, ndipo US Democratic Party imachotsa bwino. primaries), zidzangotsimikizira kudzipereka kwanu kunkhondo mukawona kuti mamembala a Congress okha omwe amatsutsa ndi achinyengo odzikonda akukankhira chuma cha voodoo.

Rand Paul akufuna kusunga zonse zothandizira 4 peresenti ya anthu, pamwamba pake akunama chifukwa tonse tikudziwa kuti sakufunanso kuwononga ndalama za Hawaii kapena Virgini kapena wina aliyense kuposa anthu a ku Ukraine. Koma ngati Ilhan Omar sangatsutse zomwe zimatchedwa kuthandiza Ukraine pomwe Rand Paul ndi Henry Kissinger ndi Donald Trump adzatero, kodi pangakhale funso lililonse kuti ndi udindo uti wa munthu wosamala bwino?

Inde, m’chenicheni pakhoza kukhala. Kodi alipo amene amakumbukira kuphunzira za cholakwika cha kukangana kuchokera kwa akuluakulu? Kodi sitinakonzekere kufuula “kutsatira sayansi”? Kodi sitikunena kuti timalemekeza malingaliro odziimira? Kodi UVA simaphunzitsabe Jefferson pang'ono za kufunikira kwa anthu odziwa zambiri? Chabwino, zomwe zonsezi zikutanthauza kuti chinachake si chowona chifukwa cha yemwe akugwirizana nacho, koma chifukwa chakuti chimamveka kwa inu monga munthu woganiza bwino.

Nkhondo ku Ukraine, mbali zonse ziwiri zimavomereza mwakachetechete pamene zikufuula mosiyana, ndi matope osatha. Ndipo ngati mumakhulupirira zongopeka za mbali zonse za chigonjetso chonse, chonde lingalirani za momwe chipambano choterocho chingakhalire chokhalitsa, chokhazikika, kapena cholungama. Iyi ndi nkhondo yoletsa kulola anthu aku Crimea ndi Donbas kusankha tsogolo lawo. Izi ndizosiyana ndi demokalase, ndipo palibe kupambana kapena kulephera kumbali iliyonse yomwe muli komwe sikungakhale ngakhale zitakhala kuti zingachitike mwanjira ina iliyonse.

Nkhondo iyi imatha ndi kunyengerera kapena ndi nyukiliya apocalypse. Kuyika pachiwopsezo cha apocalypse ya nyukiliya ndi misala, pomwe ndizochitika zachilendo komanso zovomerezeka. Kuganiza paokha kumatanthauza kukana zimenezo. Nkhondo iyi ndiye cholepheretsa chachikulu ku mgwirizano wapadziko lonse panyengo ndi chilengedwe, komanso chowononga kwambiri chilengedwe. Ndilo gulu lamphamvu lomwe likusuntha zida padziko lonse lapansi kukhala zankhondo. Ndi kulungamitsidwa kwa akazitape pa chilichonse chomwe timachita ndikuchepetsa m'malo mokulitsa maufulu athu. Amaphunzitsa tsankho ndi kuchotsa umunthu. Ndipo imaphunzitsa, mosiyana ndendende ndi zomwe timaphunzitsa ana athu, koma mogwirizana ndi zikwi za mafilimu pa Netflix ndi Amazon, kulolerana ndi zoipa, kuti kusunga chiwonongeko cha munthu wina n'kosangalatsa, ndipo chiwawa chimathetsa mavuto.

Kodi tinayamba tazindikira kuti zosakwana 3% za ndalama zankhondo zaku US zitha kuthetsa njala Padziko Lapansi? Ndalama zankhondo ndizochuluka kwambiri kotero kuti tizigawo ting'onoting'ono tingasinthe dziko, kuphatikizapo United States. Palibe chifukwa chosankha mwadyera uku kwa ife kapena iwo. Ndipo kuthandizira dziko kungapangitse adani ocheperapo kuposa kuphulitsa bomba. Mosiyana ndi maiko abwinobwino, United States imawerengera 40 peresenti ya zomwe zimatchedwa thandizo lakunja, zida zankhondo zakunja. Omwe adalandira kwambiri ndi Ukraine, Afghanistan, Israel, ndi Egypt. Ndipo komabe, monga kuchuluka kwa ndalama, thandizo lenileni la mayiko ena ambiri ndi lalikulu kuposa la United States, kuphatikizapo zida.

Mwina tiyenera kukwinya pang'ono pa zida zonse zaulere ku Egypt, chifukwa Senator ali ndi mipiringidzo ya golide mchipinda chake kuti izi zitheke. Koma kodi tayiwala Mamembala a Congress akudzitamandira pazomwe angalandire kuchokera ku zida zankhondo ku Wall Street poyambitsa nkhondo ku Ukraine? Kodi tayiwala kuti zida zaulere zotsutsana ndi Israeli zidzakupezerani wopikisana nawo wolipidwa bwino ndikuchotsedwa m'makomiti ndi mawonedwe a kanema? Si zonse zokhudza golide. M'malo mwake, mu dongosolo lachiphuphu chovomerezeka chovomerezeka, akasinja onunkhira omwe amathandizidwa ndi ndalama ku Saudi, makanema amakanema a Pentagon ndi masewera apakanema ndi zikondwerero zamasewera asanachitike, komanso zitseko zozungulira pakati pa ogulitsa zida ndi malo ogulitsira ndi zomwe zimatchedwa ntchito zaboma, mipiringidzo ya golide imakhala yochulukirapo. kusonyeza kupusa kuposa mtundu uliwonse wa ziphuphu zachilendo.

Nkhondo ndi mtendere zingakhale funso losavuta. Kupha anthu ambiri ndi koipa. Ndi zoipa pamene Russia achita izo. Ndi zoipa pamene United States ichita izo. Ndizoipa pamene Ukraine ikuchita. Kulolerana ndi mtendere zakhala zotheka ndi zabwino. Zimangowonjezereka pamene nkhondo ikupitirirabe. Ndipo izi ndizowopsa pomwe njira ina ndikukwera kwa nyukiliya. Kulola anthu omwe ali m'madera omwe amatsutsana kuti asankhe tsogolo lawo ndi demokalase. Kulowetsa anthu muzankhanza zokakamiza, ndikutsekera m'ndende omwe akutsutsa, monga momwe Russia ndi Ukraine zikuchitira, ndizosiyana ndi demokalase.

United States ikuchita nawo mapangano ochepa a ufulu wachibadwidwe kuposa dziko lina lililonse padziko lapansi, ndiye wowononga kwambiri Khothi Lalikulu Lapadziko Lonse ndi Khothi Lachilungamo Ladziko Lonse, wozunza kwambiri veto ku United Nations (Zelensky akuyenera kuzifuna). atapita), wophwanya kwambiri mapangano okhudzana ndi nkhondo ndi mtendere ndi kuponyera zida, kuphwanya mapangano omwe anali nawo pafupipafupi, wophwanya kwambiri mgwirizano wosagwirizana ndi nyukiliya, atayima kunja kwa mapangano a Land Mines, Arms Trade, ndi Cluster Munitions. Wogulitsa zida zapamwamba, wophunzitsa zankhondo, ndipo - mwa njira zambiri - wowononga dziko lapansi ayenera kutseka malamulowo ndikupeza omwe amathandizira m'modzi, kuphatikiza mayiko a 47 omwe akakamiza United Nations kuti ikambirane zamtendere ku Ukraine.
