M’kati mwa zaka makumi asanu ndi aŵiri pambuyo pa nkhondo yapadziko lonse yachiŵiri, maiko otsogoza a dziko m’chipambano chamisala chifupifupi chinasankha kusapeza chilungamo cha anthu, ubale, ndi alongo a anthu onse, koma kuikamo zochuluka m’makina ankhondo adziko akupha mwankhanza, chiwonongeko. ndi kuipitsa chilengedwe.
Malingana ndi SIPRI Military Expenditure Database, mu 1949 bajeti ya nkhondo ya United States inali $14 biliyoni. Mu 2020, United States idawononga $722 biliyoni pazankhondo. Kupanda nzeru komanso chiwerewere kwa ndalama zazikuluzikulu zankhondo, bajeti yayikulu kwambiri pankhondo padziko lapansi, zikuwonekeratu kwambiri poganizira kuti United States imawononga madola mabiliyoni a 60 okha pazinthu zapadziko lonse lapansi.
Simungayerekeze kuti gulu lanu lankhondo ndi lachitetezo, osati laukali, ngati mumagwiritsa ntchito ndalama zambiri pankhondo komanso mwamtendere pang'ono. Ngati mumathera nthawi yanu yambiri osapeza abwenzi koma mukuyesa kuwombera, mudzapeza kuti anthu ozungulira amawoneka ngati omwe akufunafuna kwambiri. Ukaliwo ukhoza kubisika kwa kanthawi, koma udzawululidwa mosapeŵeka.
Poyesera kufotokoza chifukwa chomwe gulu lankhondo limapeza ndalama zochulukirapo ka 12 kuposa zokambirana, kazembe wa US komanso mkulu wokongoletsedwa wa US Charles Ray adalemba kuti "ntchito zankhondo nthawi zonse zimakhala zodula kuposa ntchito zaukazembe - ndi chikhalidwe cha chilombocho." Sanaganizire n’komwe za kuthekera kosintha ntchito zina zankhondo ndi zoyesayesa zolimbikitsa mtendere, mwa kuyankhula kwina, kukhala ngati munthu wabwino osati chirombo.
Ndipo khalidwe ili si tchimo la United States; mungachiwone m’maiko a ku Ulaya, Afirika, Asia ndi Latin America, Kum’maŵa ndi Kumadzulo, Kum’mwera ndi Kumpoto, m’maiko okhala ndi zikhalidwe zosiyanasiyana ndi miyambo yachipembedzo. Ndi vuto lofala kwambiri pakugwiritsa ntchito ndalama pagulu kotero kuti palibe amene amayesa kapena kuphatikizira m'ndandanda wamtendere wapadziko lonse lapansi.
Kuyambira kumapeto kwa nkhondo yozizira mpaka lero, ndalama zonse zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito pankhondo padziko lonse lapansi zidakwera pafupifupi kuwirikiza kawiri, kuchoka pa thililiyoni imodzi kufika pa madola thililiyoni awiri; n’zosadabwitsa kuti anthu ambiri amafotokoza mmene zinthu zilili panopa padziko lonse monga nkhondo yozizira yatsopano.
Kukwera kwa ndalama zankhondo kumavumbula atsogoleri andale padziko lonse kukhala abodza osuliza; abodza awa si autocrats mmodzi kapena awiri, koma magulu andale onse mwalamulo kuimira dziko lawo mayiko.
Mayiko asanu ndi anayi okhala ndi zida za nyukiliya (Russia, USA, China, France, UK, Pakistan, India, Israel, ndi North Korea) amalankhula mawu okweza pamisonkhano yapadziko lonse lapansi yokhudza mtendere, demokalase, ndi ulamuliro wamalamulo; asanu mwa iwo ndi mamembala okhazikika a UN Security Council. Ndipo komabe, nzika zawo komanso dziko lonse lapansi silingamve kukhala otetezeka chifukwa amachotsa okhometsa misonkho kuti alimbikitse makina a tsiku lachiwonongeko onyalanyaza pangano loletsa zida zanyukiliya lomwe lavomerezedwa ku UN General Assembly ndi mayiko ambiri.
Zilombo zina zochokera ku US pack zili ndi njala kuposa Pentagon. Mwachitsanzo, ku Ukraine 2021 bajeti ya Unduna wa Zachitetezo ipitilira nthawi 24 bajeti ya Unduna wa Zachilendo.
Ku Ukraine, Purezidenti Volodymyr Zelensky, yemwe adasankhidwa atalonjeza mtendere, adati mtendere uyenera kukhala "mogwirizana ndi zomwe tikufuna" ndikuletsa zofalitsa zaku Russia ku Ukraine, monga momwe adakhazikitsira Poroshenko adaletsa malo ochezera a ku Russia ndikukankhira lamulo lachilankhulidwe chovomerezeka mosapatula Russian ku Ukraine. pagulu. Chipani cha Zelensky Mtumiki wa Anthu adadzipereka kuti awonjezere ndalama zankhondo ku 5% ya GDP; inali 1.5% mu 2013; tsopano ndi oposa 3%.
Chiyukireniya boma mgwirizano mu United States 16 Mark VI kulondera mabwato kwa 600 miliyoni madola, amene angafanane ndi zonse Chiyukireniya ndalama pagulu pa chikhalidwe, kapena nthawi imodzi ndi theka la mzinda Odessa bajeti.
Ndi ambiri mu nyumba yamalamulo yaku Ukraine, pulezidenti wa pulezidenti amayang'ana mphamvu zandale m'manja mwa gulu la Zelensky ndikuchulukitsa malamulo ankhondo, monga zilango zowopsya kwa omwe akuthawa kulowa usilikali komanso kukhazikitsidwa kwa magulu ankhondo atsopano "otsutsa dziko", kuonjezera anthu ogwira ntchito. ndi 11,000 (yomwe idakula kale kuchokera ku 129,950 mu 2013 mpaka 209,000 mu 2020), kupanga magulu ankhondo m'maboma ang'onoang'ono kuti aziphunzitsidwa zankhondo za mamiliyoni a anthu omwe cholinga chake chinali kusonkhanitsa anthu onse ngati nkhondo ndi Russia.
Zikuoneka kuti akakulidwe aku Atlanticist akufunitsitsa kukokera dziko la United States kunkhondo. Mlembi wa chitetezo ku US Lloyd Austin adayendera Kyiv ndikulonjeza kuti apereka thandizo lankhondo polimbana ndi nkhanza za Russia. NATO imathandizira mapulani omanga zida ziwiri zankhondo zankhondo mdera la Black Sea, ndikuwonjezera mikangano ndi Russia. Kuyambira 2014, United States yawononga 2 biliyoni pa thandizo lankhondo ku Ukraine. Raytheon ndi Lockheed Martin adapindula kwambiri pogulitsa mizinga yawo yolimbana ndi akasinja a Javelin, ndipo amalonda aku Turkey akufa adapezanso ndalama zambiri kuchokera kunkhondo ku Ukraine akugulitsa ma drones awo a Bayraktar.
Anthu masauzande ambiri aphedwa kale ndi olumala m'zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri za nkhondo ya Russia-Ukraine, oposa mamiliyoni awiri athawa kwawo. Pali manda ambiri kumbali zonse ziwiri za mzere wakutsogolo wodzaza ndi anthu wamba osadziwika omwe adazunzidwa pankhondoyo. Udani ku Eastern Ukraine ukukula; mu Okutobala 2021 kuchuluka kwatsiku ndi tsiku kwa kuphwanya lamulo loletsa kumenyana kudachulukira kawiri poyerekeza ndi chaka chatha. Ukraine ndi Russia mothandizidwa ndi US ndi odzipatula ochirikiza Russia amagawana zoneneza zaukali komanso kusakambirana. Zikuwoneka kuti magulu otsutsanawo sakufuna kuyanjananso, ndipo nkhondo yatsopano yozizira imayambitsa mkangano wonyansa ku Ulaya pamene USA ndi Russia zikupitirizabe kuopseza, kunyoza, ndi kuzunza akazembe anzawo.
"Kodi asitikali angabweretse mtendere pamene zokambirana zalephera?" ndi funso lopanda tanthauzo. Mbiriyakale yonse imati izo sizingakhoze. Akamanena kuti zingatheke, mutha kupeza chowonadi chocheperako pamapopu awa ankhondo yabodza kuposa ufa mu chipolopolo chogwiritsidwa ntchito.
Ankhondo amalonjeza nthawi zonse kuti amakumenyerani nkhondo, ndipo nthawi zonse amaphwanya malonjezo. Amamenyera nkhondo kuti apeze phindu ndi mphamvu kuti azigwiritsa ntchito molakwika kuti apeze phindu lochulukirapo. Amabera okhometsa msonkho ndi kutilanda chiyembekezo chathu ndi ufulu wathu wopatulika wa tsogolo lamtendere ndi lachimwemwe.
Ichi ndichifukwa chake simuyenera kukhulupirira malonjezo amtendere kuchokera kwa andale, pokhapokha atatsatira chitsanzo chabwino kwambiri cha Costa Rica chomwe chinathetsa zida zankhondo ndikuletsa kukhazikitsidwa kwa gulu lankhondo loyimilira ndi Constitution, ndipo - iyi ndiye gawo labwino kwambiri! - Costa Rica idaperekanso ndalama zonse zankhondo kuti athandizire maphunziro abwino ndi chithandizo chamankhwala.
Tiyenera kuphunzira phunziro limenelo. Okhometsa msonkho sangayembekezere mtendere akamapitiriza kulipira ngongole zotumizidwa ndi amalonda a imfa. Nthawi zonse zisankho ndi ndondomeko za bajeti, andale ndi ena ochita zisankho ayenera kumva zonena za anthu: asiye kudyetsa chilombo!
