Cholinga cha Arms Bazaar chaka chino ndi: "Air, Space & Cyber Theme: Airmen, Viwanda, ndi Allies-A Global Security Team." (onani pansipa zambiri za AFA Arms Bazaar) Makontrakitala pafupifupi 150 omwe atenga nawo gawo pazaka izi Arms Bazaar adatenga gawo lalikulu pakuwotha kwa US. Makampani opanga zida, monga Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman ndi Raytheon, akupindula ndi nkhondo ndipo akupha! Koma si zokhazo. Pentagon ndi ogulitsa zida zambiri amadzipereka kuukadaulo waku US / zida zankhondo / cyber komanso malo achitetezo.
Pogwiritsa ntchito mphamvu zankhondo padziko lonse lapansi, US ndiye # 1 wogulitsa zida ndi $ 46.6 biliyoni wogulitsa kunkhondo zakunja kwa chaka cha 2015. US ipereka zida kumayiko ambiri aku NATO ndi Middle East monga Turkey, Israel, ndi Saudi Arabia.

Pogwirizana ndi omanga zida omwe akuchita nawo zida za AFA Arms Bazaar, US ikugwira nawo ntchito zankhondo zankhondo ku Iraq, Afghanistan ndi Syria, ikupitilizabe kuthandizira asitikali olanda ku Israeli ku West Bank ndi Gaza, akuwopseza Russia chifukwa cholowa nawo ku Ukraine , ikupitilira ndi "pivot" yake yankhondo ku Asia-Pacific kuopseza ndikukhala ndi China, ndipo imalipira omwe amapha anthu ku Pakistan, Yemen ndi Somalia.
Boma la US likupitilizabe ndi zida zawo za "Missile Defense" zomwe zikuzungulira China ndi Russia, zomwe zikuphwanya pangano lawo la Anti-Ballistic ndi Russia. Kuphatikiza apo, US ikukonzekera kuwononga $ 1 trilioni pazaka makumi atatu zikubwerazi kuti ikonze zida zake zanyukiliya, m'malo motsatira njira yeniyeni yothetsera zida. Asitikali aku US ndiye akugwiritsanso ntchito mafuta ambiri padziko lapansi omwe akuwononga nyengo yapadziko lapansi. Ozunzidwa amafuulira chilungamo, ndipo dziko lapansi, poukiridwa tsiku ndi tsiku, likubuula ndi zowawa!
M'masiku ake atatu a Arms Bazaar, AFA ikuthandizira maofesi pafupifupi 40 onena momwe US ingawongolere zida zake zotentha komanso kuthekera kwa cyber kuti izitha kulamulira dziko lapansi ndi malo. Yatsani Lolemba, September 19, AFA ili ndi $ 300 + pa phwando la phwando labwino la airmen, komanso masiku awiri kenako adzachita phwando lina lofananalo. Timadzudzula AFA Arms Bazaar pazomwe zili: kunyoza Mulungu, kuba kwa osauka, ndikuwopseza anthu padziko lonse lapansi!
Ndani angalankhulire osauka ndi ozunzidwa, popeza ogulitsa zida amatuta phindu lalikulu kuchokera ku zida zawo zowopsa komanso ukadaulo wakupha? Ndani adzateteze dziko lapansi lopatulika ndi chilengedwe? Tifunika mwachangu, kuposa kale lonse, kuti tipewe nkhondo zonse zachiwawa komanso ziwawa - kuchokera ku Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan ndi Gaza, kupita ku Ferguson, NYC, Baltimore, Charleston, Orlando, DC ndi kwina kulikonse. Pamodzi, tiyeni tipitilize kuchita zonse zomwe tingathe kukhazikitsa Gulu Lokondedwa, kuthetsa mavuto anyengo, kuthetseratu umphawi ndikupanga dziko lopanda zida za nyukiliya komanso wamba, ma drones opha, nkhondo, udani wamitundu ndi kuponderezana. M'dzina la Mulungu, amene amatiyitana kuti tikonde osati kudana, kupanga ziwanda ndikupha, yakwana nthawi yoti tithetse Arms Bazaar iyi!
Chonde lumikizanani ndi mamembala a a Dorothy Day Catholic Worker, Pax Christi ndi ena opanga mtendere pamene tikufuna kunena kuti INDE ku Moyo komanso ayi motsimikiza kwa amalonda a imfa ndi omwe amapindulitsa pankhondo.
