Kuthetsa Nkhondo kumafuna Malingaliro atsopano, Mawu, ndi Zochita

Ndi David Swanson
Malingaliro ku Albuquerque, New Mexico, December 12, 2018

Pali zochitika zomwe zikuchitika tsopano ku Senate ku US pomaliza nkhondo ya US ku nkhondo ku Yemen. Kuli kovuta kwambiri mulopala. Pali vuto la kugulitsa Saudi Arabia zida zake. Apo pali Nyumba Yopotoza Anthu kuti azidandaula za. Pali veto loopsya. Pali funso lokhazikitsa lamulo lochokera kwa purezidenti lomwe mwalonjeza kuti simudzapusitsa, osakhala ndi zolakwa zambiri zolembedwa zomwe sizigwirizana ndi Russia. Zonse zomwe zanenedwa, zomwe zikuchitika panopa ndi chinthu chabwino kwambiri, ndipo asenere a New Mexico akhala pano kumbali yoyenera.

Ngati Congress ya US iyenera kuyimirira kwa pulezidenti pa nkhondo imodzi, anthu akhoza kufunsa funso la nkhondo zina zonse. Ngati a US akanayimirira ku Saudi Arabia, osati powapatsa zida ndi kuthandizira usilikali ndi kutetezedwa ku malamulo apadziko lonse pamene akupempha mosamala kuti akonze njira zake, koma pokana kukhala mnzake mu chigawenga, wina angafunse chifukwa chomwechi Tayesedwa ndi Israeli kapena Bahrain kapena Egypt, ndi zina zotero.

Koma simungathe kuthetsa nkhondo, mungatero? Kodi tisinthe chiyani pa nkhondo ya Yemen? Ili ndi funso limene ndikufunsidwa. Nkhondo iyi ndi yomwe Pulezidenti Obama adaitcha nkhondo yopambana "drone", funsoli kawirikawiri linali chinthu chonga ichi: "Hey, kodi mungakhale ndi nkhondo yeniyeni? Ndi nkhondo ya drone palibe amene amafa! " Popanda kufotokozera za yemwe amawerengera ngati palibe aliyense kapena ayi, ndimangokumbukira kuti ndingayankhe kuti sindingasinthe kanthu kali konse, koma kuti pamapeto pake idzadzibwezeretsa ndi nkhondo yowonjezereka - monga momwe yachitira tsopano.

Nkhondo ndi zosiyana ndi zinthu zina zomwe munthu angaganizire kuti zithe. Ngati ndikunena kuti tifunika kuchotsa mndende misala kapena kugawidwa kwa mafuta kapena ziweto kapena mafuko kapena zipembedzo kapena zipilala za nkhondo kapena mabungwe akuluakulu a pa TV kapena makampani a msonkho kapena bungwe la United States Senate kapena Central Intelligence Agency kapena Kuvomerezeka kwa kubwezera kapena kubwezera padera ndalama kapena othandizira ndege kapena telemarketing kapena Electoral College kapena Komiti ya Milandu ya Pulezidenti kapena malonda pamasewera - chisoni, nthawi zina zimakhala zovuta kuima - zikhoza kapena zosamveka, malinga ndi malingaliro anu, funsani zomwe ndingalowe m'malo mwa zinthu zonsezi. Mwinamwake mukupempha, ngati palibe kukongola, zigawozo zikanakopeka bwanji. Koma pakanakhalabe malonda pamasewera, yankho likhoza kukhala masewera ndi msonkho pamagulu kapena zikhoza kukhala masewera opanda malonda pa iwo, sichoncho? Sikuti zonse zimasowa m'malo.

Ngati ndikunena kuti tiyenera kuchotsa kupha kapena kuba, kapena kugwiriridwa kwa ana kapena kugwiriridwa kapena kuzunzidwa, pali anthu ambiri omwe sangafunse kuti, "Kodi mungasinthe chiyani?" Pali anthu omwe Ndikhoza kunena kuti tiyenera kuthetsa kuzunzidwa kwa anthu, osati kamba chabe, amene sakanayankha mwa kufunsa "Koma kodi mungasinthe chiyani?"

Tsopano tiyeni tiwone nkhondo pa Yemen. Ikupha amuna, akazi, ndi ana mwa makumi khumi kapena zikwi ndi kupha anthu mamiliyoni ambiri. Ikuyika amuna, akazi, ndi ana kupweteka kwa matenda opha, njala, kuukiridwa kwaukali, ndi kuthekera kwopezeka kwanthawi yomweyo kapena imfa. Poyerekeza ndi zomwe nkhondoyi ikuchita kwa miyandamiyanda ya anthu omwe akukhala ndi mabanja awo pakati pa zomwe zimatchedwa kuti nkhondo, poyerekeza ndi izo, poopsezedwa ndi gulu la Asilamu othamanga ochokera ku Honduras akudutsa malire ndi kutenga ntchito pafupifupi imawoneka ngati uthenga wabwino. Ndikutanthauza kuti, pochoka pakhomo pomwe mungaphunzirepo kanthu za a Hondani ndi chifukwa chake onse ndi Asilamu komanso mwina mutenge yankho lamtengo wapatali ku funso lachikhalire "Chifukwa chiyani amadana nafe?" zomwe mungagulitse yankho limenelo ku Fox News, simudzasowa ntchito yanu.

Nkhondo ya Yemen ikupanga olemera ochepa olemera ngakhale olemera, koma anthu ambiri ndi osauka. Zimayambitsa mavuto aakulu ku chilengedwe, kuphatikizapo nyengo ya dziko lapansi, komanso kuntchito zothandiza anthu. Zimapangitsa United States kudedwa komanso anthu omwe amakhala pano sali otetezeka, osati ochuluka. Kulimbitsa al Qaeda, ISIS, ndi chiwawa. Zimasokoneza mavuto omwe akufunika kuthetsedwera osati kupanga, monga nyengo, monga ngozi ya nyukiliya, monga oligarchy. Ichi ndi chifukwa chokhalira kusefukira dera lomweli ndi zida zambiri ndikupitirizabe kulimbitsa dzikoli ndi mbiri yoipa kwambiri ya anthu padziko lapansi. Mbiri ya ufulu wa anthu, mwa njira, ili ndi momwe mumachitira anthu kunja kwa nkhondo. Mukhoza kubomba nyumba za biliyoni koma simukupha aliyense yemwe ali ndi scimitar kapena fupa tawona ndipo ali ndi ufulu wowala waumunthu. Kapena mungathe kuyang'anira kampu ya imfa koma simukulimbana ndi nkhondo ndipo muli ndi zovuta za ufulu wa anthu. Kapena mungapite nkhondo zambiri kuposa wina aliyense, ndi kusunga akaidi ambiri kuposa wina aliyense, kupha anthu, kuwatsekera okhaokha ndi kupha apolisi, ndikulola umphaŵi ndi kuvutika koposa pakati pa mayiko onse olemera ndikukhalabe ndi ufulu wodabwitsa wa anthu omwe anthu anu amakhulupirira kuti nkhondo zanu zikugwiritsidwa ntchito kufalitsa ufulu waumunthu. Komabe, mfundo yanga ndi yakuti inu muyenera kupereka mabomba kwa maboma omwe ali ndi zolemba zabwino za ufulu wa anthu, chifukwa aliyense wokongola amakhala wokondwa kuti awononge maboma awo.

Nkhondo ya Yemen sichita kanthu kabwino, komabe zowawa zomwe zikuchitika zikhoza kulembedwa kwa ora lotsatira. Ndipo ndikulipira ndalama zambiri zomwe zingatenge kusintha dzikoli kuti likhale labwino kupyolera mwa thandizo lenileni. Tsono, kodi tiyenera kuyimitsa nkhondo yanji? Kodi tifunika kuchita chiyani mmalo moponya mabomba ku Yemen?

Si Yemen!

Kawirikawiri, ilo ndilo yankho langa loyambirira pa nkhondo iliyonse, ngakhale pali mayankho ena awiri omwe sali ochepa pang'onopang'ono. Ndipo ndikuganiza kuti akufunikira, chifukwa ngakhale nkhondo zowonongeka ku Yemen zimamenyedwa ndi asilikali, monga asilikali a ku America ndi a Saudi, ngati ndikufunsa kuti, "Kodi tifunikire chiyani asilikali a US?" momwe ine ndikuchitira. Izi zikutanthauza kuti palibe munthu amene amaganiza kuti ndizovuta kunena kuti "Kodi tifunikira chiyani kuti tiyambe kugwiritsira ntchito kitten?" Ngati zili choncho, anthu amaganiza kuti ndi funso lamisala chifukwa sali okonzeka kuganiza kuti zigawenga ziyenera kuthetsedwa.

Yankho lachiwiri limene angapereke lingapereke "Kodi mungachite chiyani m'malo mwa nkhondo [yongani dzina la fuko lomwe palibe aliyense angapeze pamapu pano]?" Ndikuti muyenera kuthana ndi vuto lomwe mukuganiza kuti muli ndi njira zomveka m'malo molimbana ndi kupha anthu ambiri ndikuyesera kulumikizana ndi vutoli. Mwa kuyankhula kwina, fufuzani zida zomwe simukuzidziwa, kapena kutsutsa chigamulo cha milandu ku khoti lenileni, kapena kukambirana mgwirizano musanachitike kupha anthu omwe mukudziyesa kuti akuopsezedwa, kapena kubweretsa kwawo nzika za US zomwe mukuzinena kuti ziri pangozi kapena ambiri mwa iwo momwe mungathe kukopa kuti achoke. Kawirikawiri mumakhala ndi mulu wa mabodza, koma njirayi imagwira ntchito mosasamala kanthu. Libya inalibe pangozi yopha anthu ambiri, koma kuphulika kwa mabomba kunayambitsa izo. Iraq siidagonjetsedwa ndi zigawenga, koma tsopano. Kodi simungalole kuti African Union kukumane ndi Gadaffi kapena kulola oyang'anira kuti afufuze zida ku Iraq akhala bwino kuposa kwenikweni kupanga chodetsa nkhaŵa? Afghanistan ikufuna kuti bin Laden aweruzidwe. Bwanji osachita zimenezo? Vietnam sikunali kuukira United States osati kwenikweni akuwombera ku sitima pamphepete mwa nyanja. Bwanji osawonetsa Vietnamese kuti palibe chowonongeko pa zombo ndikuwapempha iwo kulipira madola a zero kuti akonze zofunikira? Spain inali wokonzeka kupita kukakangana pa sitimayo yomwe sinapite ku Harana. Bwanji osachita zimenezo?

Yankho limeneli likuwoneka mosiyana kwambiri ndi chifukwa chokhazikitsidwa pa nkhondo yapitayi. Zonse zomwe mumaganiza zowononga anyamata mamiliyoni atatu ndikuthetsa ukapolo, dziko lonse lapansi limadzitengera ukapolo kapena serfdom popanda choyamba. Ngati tidafuna kuthetsa kumangidwa kwa misala, kodi tingayambe kupeza malo ena ndikupha wina ndi mzake, kenako kumatha kumangidwa? Ndimaganiza kuti zingakhale bwino kuti titha kulumphira kumalo omangidwa, pang'onopang'ono kapena mofulumira koma popanda kupha misala poyamba.

Pamene ndimayankhula za nkhondo ndibodza, ndipo ponena kuti chifukwa chokhacho chingagwiritsidwe ntchito pa nkhondo koma sichikhoza kukhala gawo lachibadwa, sichikhoza kulondola, nthawi zina anthu amafunsa, "Chabwino, ndiye, chenicheni Chifukwa cha nkhondo zonse? "Ngati sakramenti ya ulemerero wa Pearl Harbor sizinadabwitsa kwenikweni koma anafunsidwa, ngati United States sichimenyana kwenikweni kuti iwapulumutse Ayuda koma ikanawakana ndi kuwatsutsa ku tsogolo lawo, Tidatulutsa tizilombo toyambitsa matenda, ngati Mexico sichidawombera, ngati Commies sichidakhala ndi mipando yambiri yokonzeka kulanda dziko lonse lapansi, ngati ubwenzi wa Saddam Hussein ndi Al Qaeda unali wolimba ngati Donald Kudzichepetsa kwa Trump, ngati a Canada si atumiki onse omvetsa chisoni a Mfumu ya England chifukwa chosamenyana ndi kusintha kwazigawenga, ngati anthu am'dziko lino sakulibwino poti aphedwe, ndiye bwanji ? Chifukwa chiani? Inu simungangothamanga kukapha anthu ndi makumi khumi ndi miliri ndi ngozi yowopsa ya nyukiliya popanda chifukwa? Chifukwa chiyani?

Ndimadana nazo kusokoneza izi kwa anthu ambiri omwe amanditumizira imelo yankho la funsoli nthawi zonse, koma yankho sindiri, monga momwe ndikudziwira, chinthu chimodzi kapena chokhazikika. Kodi ndizowononga ndalama? Eya, icho ndi gawo la izo, koma osati gawo lalikulu, osati mwachindunji ndi molunjika kupyolera mwa kugula kwa akuluakulu. Palinso kugula zinthu, chithandizo cha mabanki, magulu a ndale omwe amagula ogwira ntchito, kuwunika kuchokera kwa aliyense amene angayambe kukambirana mwamtendere ndi anzawo, ndi zina zotero. Koma izi sizinayankhidwebe.

Yankho silinayenso kukhalapo kwachinsinsi chamagulu a anthu omwe amawoneka ngati inu ndi ine koma tilibe miyoyo, mikangano yomwe sichikhazikitsidwa ndi sayansi kusiyana ndi maganizo a mafuko a fascists.

Komanso si maganizo a anthu, demokarase mukuchitapo kanthu, osati mwachindunji. Tikadagonjetsa demokalase, nkhondo zing'onozing'ono zingayambike, ndipo kugwiritsira ntchito ndalama kumatha kuchepetsedwa, mwinamwake kulimbikitsana mtundu wa mikono womwe ungathe kupanga mawu ngati awa osasamala. Trump anatenga White House atapanga nkhondo zambiri monga ndondomeko ya nkhondo. Clinton anataya zigawo zingapo zofunika - pakati pazinthu zina zabwino ndi zopanda chilungamo - chikhulupiliro pakati pa mabanja achimuna kuti angakhale osowa kuti okondedwa awo aphedwe. Nthawi yotsiriza yomwe anthu adapatsa Democrats ambiri mu Congress anali momveka bwino kuthetsa nkhondo pa Iraq, zomwe Democrats adakwera. Mwachimwemwe iwo sanaperekedwe ochuluka kwa cholinga china chodziwikiratu nthawi ino!

Ndiponso sitingathe kunena kuti nkhondo zonsezi zikhale zovuta, koma ndizofunikira kwambiri. Inu mumayika ufumu wa mabango, mumagulitsa ndi kupereka zida ku malo osasinthasintha kwambiri, mumamanga ndi kuphunzitsa magawo atatu a olamulira ankhanza a dziko lapansi mwachindunji chanu cha wolamulira wankhanza, mukuphunzitsa ndi kuchita zonse zomwe zingatheke komanso nkhondo zosatheka, mumayesetsa nkhondo mpaka kufika poti palibe amene amawazindikira. Ndi ochepa chabe amene angatchule nkhondo zonse zamakono za ku America. Palibe amene angatchule mayiko onse a tsopano a US kapena maiko omwe alimo. CNN imapempha ofuna chisankho ngati afuna kupha mazana ndi zikwi za ana. Starbucks ikuti ili ndi sitolo ku Guantanamo chifukwa kusakhala ndi imodzi kumeneko kungakhale kutenga udindo wa ndale. Mumagwiritsa ntchito chilankhulo ndi ndondomeko mpaka zosavuta kuwonjezerapo nkhondo zambiri kusiyana ndi kuthetsa aliyense wa iwo. Komabe, komabe, inertia sikokwanira. Winawake ayenera kuchita.

Sindinaonepo nkhondo yomwe inalibe zolinga zenizeni, zonsezo ndizolakwika kapena zowonongeka, ndipo kawirikawiri wamkulu pakati pawo chilakolako chofuna kulamulira dziko lapansi ndikupweteketsa ndi kuzunzika, ndi zozizwitsa zambiri zodziyesa , zonsezo ndi zabodza kapena zopanda pake. Chimodzi mwa zifukwa zenizeni zomwe zakhala zikuzungulira koma zomwe zakhala zikupotoza ndikugogomezera posachedwa zikugwirizana ndi chithunzi. Ngati mwakhala mumisonkhano yamtendere yambiri mumudziwa bwino, amene angakhale akugwira ntchito apolisi mobisa, amene amakhulupirira kuti gulu labwino, lolimbikitsidwa, losavomerezeka lomwe silikunyalanyazidwa ndi makampani azinthu Zidzakhala bwino pa tsamba loyambalo pogwiritsa ntchito mawindo ochepa - ngakhale zomwezo zikutsimikizira kuti msonkhano wotsatira udzakhala wawung'ono kusiyana ndi waukulu. Tsopano, tangoganizani kupeza munthu ameneyo ndi kumupanga purezidenti wa United States. Tangoganizani anthu omwe akuyendetsa masewera akuluakulu a pa wailesi yakanema ndikumupanga pulezidenti wa United States chifukwa amavomereza kuti palibe cholakwika. Mkulu wa bungwe la CBS, pofotokozera nthawi yonse ya mfulu kwa munthu mmodzi, adanena kuti Donald Trump akhoza kukhala woipa ku United States koma iye ndi wotsimikiza kuti ali ndi ziwerengero.

Monga Purezidenti, Trump ikuwoneka kuti ikuyendetsedwa, osati mwachindunji: zomwe Fox News imanena, zomwe zimamuyang'anitsitsa kwambiri, zomwe munthu womaliza m'chipinda pamodzi naye adanena, zomwe zimapangitsa phindu lake lachuma, ndi zotsatira zake Mphindi yambiri ya Trump pa TV. Koma Trump siyekha pa chisamaliro, mwa njira yake yomwe, zomwe zida zina zofalitsira nkhani zimanena za iye. Malingana ndi Pentagon Papers, 70% ya chifukwa chopitiliza nkhondo ku Vietnam - kwa zaka zambiri ndi mamiliyoni a anthu akufa-anali chabe kuti asathetse, chifukwa kuthetsa izo kungatsutsedwe koposa njira iliyonse yopitilira. Kapena okonza nkhondo amakhulupirira, ndipo sizinali zoyembekezeratu. Onetsetsani zomwe zomwe zimatchedwa kuti media freal zimanena nthawi zonse Trump atachoka pambali kapena kufupi ndi dziko la Russia kapena North Korea. Zotsatsa zamalonda 'okhulupilika sikuti azikhala mwamtendere kapena mwachilungamo koma nkhani zomwe akhala akuzilemba.

Mtsogoleri waposachedwa kwambiri wa nkhondo yotsogoleredwa ndi US ku Afghanistan adalimbikitsa kuthetsa izo, monga ena aliri, nthawi yomwe iye anali kunja kwake. Koma chifukwa chake malingaliro - opangidwa pa nkhondo iyi ndi omwe kale anali akuluakulu apamwamba a mitundu yonse kwa nthawi yaitali kuposa ophunzira a sekondale akhala ali moyo tsopano - sanayambe kuchitapo mwinamwake ndibwino kuti awonetsedwe bwino ndi zomwe mkulu wina wakale wa chigawengachi, Stanley McChrystal adanena posachedwa. McChrystal imasewera ndi Brad Pitt mu The War Machine pa Netflix, koma adanena mlendo uyu osati mzere wongopeka. Iye adanena izi pofunsidwa zomwe ziyenera kuchitika ku Afghanistan:

"Ndinakumana ndi Mlembi Pompeo mmawa uno ndipo anandifunsa funso lomwelo, ndipo ndinati, 'Sindikudziwa.' Ndikulakalaka ndikuchita. Ngati ndikanakhala ndi yankho loluntha ... ngati titatuluka ndi anthu ngati al Qaeda kubwerera, sikuvomerezeka kwa kayendetsedwe ka ndale ku US Zingakhale zoopsa, ndipo zingakhale zopweteka kwa ife. Ngati tiika asilikali ambiri mmenemo ndipo timamenyana kwamuyaya, izi sizotsatila zabwino. Sindikudziwa kuti yankho lolondola ndi yanji. Malingaliro anga abwino ndikusunga chiwerengero chochepa cha mphamvu pamenepo ndi mtundu wa kudula pamodzi ndikuwona zomwe tingachite. Koma izo zikutanthauza kuti iwe udzakhala wotaya zina anthu, ndipo ndizabwino kuti Achimerika afunse kuti, 'chifukwa chiyani ndikuchita izi? N'chifukwa chiyani ndikuika ana anga aamuna ndi aakazi pangozi? ' Ndipo yankho liri, pali mtengo wina woti muchite zinthu mu dziko, pokhala mutanganidwa. Izo siziri zokondweretsa. Iko si mzere wonyadola ngati yankho, koma ndizo zomwe ndikuganiza, chinthu chokha chimene ndingakulangize. "

Asilikali a ku United States akuyamba kulakalaka kuti alembedwe, komabe sindinayambe kuwona zolemba "Kulembera kuti muphe anthu ndikuika moyo wanu pangozi chifukwa cha kusokonezeka! Lonjezerani mwayi wanu wodzipha! Sitikulonjeza kuti simudzatha kuzizira pamsewu kapena kuwombera gulu la usiku, koma tingatsimikizire kuti tidzayamba nkhondo zambiri kuti tikuthandizeni! "

Pali zodutsa motsatira, ndiyeno pali Army akudumpha limodzi.

Chidutswa chimodzi.

Kupitiliza nkhondo kuti isathetse nkhondo. Ndicho choyimira cha permawar. Ndipo ndicho chimene ife tiri nacho, nkhondo zomwe sizingakhoze kutha. Ndipo nkhondo zomwe sizili anthu okwanira zimafuna kutha kwa chifukwa anthu osaphedwa mu nkhondo amawerengedwa ngati Stanley McChrystal akuwona anthu. Chaka chatha ku Afghanistan chakhala chakupha kwambiri, mwinamwake wofa kwambiri, ndipo mabomba ambiri amagwetsedwa kuposa nthawi iliyonse kuyambira pachimake ku 2011, koma osachepera 15 ya anthu amene anamwalira akhala mamembala a asilikali a US. Chiwerengerochi chikwera ngati mukuwerenga kudzipha ndi magulu ena osiyanasiyana otsala, koma amakhala ochepa poyerekeza ndi imfa ya Afghanistan komanso poyerekeza ndi nkhondo zapitazo. Ndicho chimene mabomba amachititsa anthu osauka, amapanga ophera limodzi. Koma kodi ma TV aku US akukuuzani za izo?

Ndinangoyang'ana filimu ya Hollywood yotchedwa Kudabwa ndi mantha, zomwe zinkamenyana ndi nkhondo za Iraq ndi Afghanistan ndi Vietnam, ndipo ndinafunika kuyembekezera mndandanda wa zolemba pazenera pamapeto pambali iliyonse yowonetsa kuti aliyense wochokera ku mtundu uli wonse waukira anavulazidwa mwanjira iliyonse. Kupatulapo, zinkawoneka kuti nkhondo za ku United States ziyenera kumenyana ndi asilikali a US omwe amachita 100% za zowawa mu nkhondo.

Ponseponse pandale, njira yodalirika yomwe yatsala yovomerezeka ndiyo yomwe imapangitsa 96% ya umunthu kuti ikhale yopanda pake poyerekeza ndi zina 4%. Masabata awiri apitawo Senator Elizabeth Warren adati nkhondo ya Iraq inapha anthu 6 zikwi. Zili bwino kuti anthu oposa 1 miliyoni, mwina 2 miliyoni, anthu omwe ankakhala mmenemo omwe adamwalira, ndipo tilibe kanthu kotsutsana nawo, koma sali, mukudziwa, anthu, inu mukudziwa, wink wink - okha popanda kumira Kuwinkhira chifukwa izi ziri poyera. Ndiyeseni, kuti ndikupezeni nkhani ya nyuzipepala ya ku United States yonena za nkhondo yapachiweniweni ya US yomwe inathetsa ukapolo omwe (1) amavomereza kuti iyo sinathetse ukapolo, kapena (2) imakana kunena za iyo ngati nkhondo yakupha kwambiri ku United States. Inu muli otheka kwambiri kupeza nkhani yokayikira pa Nkhondo pa Khirisimasi. Amuna onse akudziwa kuti nkhondo ya ku America yapachiweniweni ili kutali kwambiri ndi nkhondo yakupha kwambiri ya ku United States nthawizonse?

Mwa njirayi, ndikudziwa kuti Congressman Adam Smith adanena kuti adzayambitsa malamulo kuti athetse ndalama zowonjezera nkhondo ku Afghanistan. Ndikuganiza kuti tifunika kuthandizira kuthetsa nkhondo ku Yemen komanso nkhondo ku Afghanistan ndikuyika gawo limodzi la ndalama kuchokera kuntchito yatsopano. Ndipo ndikuganiza kuti ndondomeko ya Green New Deal iyenera kuvomereza kuti bajeti ya nkhondo ikupezeka ngati ndalama zopezera ndalama komanso kuti nkhondo yowononga chilengedwe ikuwonongeka kwambiri.

Sindinakumanepo ndi nkhondo yeniyeni pa Khirisimasi, koma kwakhala nthawi yaitali kuchokera pamene United States inali yochepa chabe ya nkhondo khumi ndi ziwiri yomwe ikukwera pa Khrisimasi iliyonse. Ndipo palibe amene angatchule dzina lawo. Pafupifupi aliyense akhoza kundiuza kuti nkhondo zina ndi zolondola ndipo ena sali olondola. Koma palibe amene angandidziwitse kuti ndi ndani omwe amatchula nkhondo zomwe zilipo kuti akambirane - vuto limene sindikuganiza ngakhale Aroma akale. Kupatula ku Yemen, pali nkhondo yapadera ku Afghanistan yomwe timati ndiyo nkhondo yakale kwambiri ku United States chifukwa chakuti nkhondo zotsutsana ndi anthu okhala ku North America sizinali nkhondo zenizeni chifukwa iwo sanali kwenikweni enieni, ine ndikutanthauza, inu dziwani zomwe ndikutanthauza. Kuphulika kwa mabomba kwadabwitsa kwambiri ku Afghanistan chaka chatha komanso chaka chino, malinga ndi nkhani ya US Air Force Central Command ya Opaleshoni Freedom's Sentinel. Tangoganizani kuti ndende zikanakhala bwanji kuti ana ang'onoang'ono othawa kwawo asagwire ntchito ngati si a Operation Freedom's Sentinel. Adzatipanga ife kuti tipereke ndalama zoti tigwiritse nawo msonkhano wa onse ku Washington, DC, koma ndithudi iwo angakhale malipiro apamwamba popanda Operene Freedom's Sentinel.

Kenaka pali Operesheni Inherent Resolve, nkhondo yomwe imatchulidwa bwino kwambiri moti palibe amene akudziwa kumene kuli, nkhondo yomwe yawona asilikali a CIA-asilikali ogwidwa ndi Pentagon akumenyana wina ndi mzake, nkhondo yomwe siinapangidwe konse chifukwa, Kugwiritsiridwa ntchito Kwasinthidwe, komwe kumatchedwa bombing ya Iraq ndi Syria. Kuphulika kwa mabomba kunali kumapeto chaka chatha pamene Mosul anagwetsedwa, koma chaka chino chikuchepa kwambiri.

Bungwe la Investigative Journalism limatchula zochitika za miseche ya drone. Iwo amayendetsa patsogolo mofulumira ku Afghanistan, ndipo awonjezeka ku Yemen ndi Somalia, koma ali pansi kwambiri ku Pakistan. Ndiye pali nkhondo yatsopano ya US ku Libya. Ndiye pali nkhondo kudutsa kumpoto kwa Africa, ambiri mwa iwo akufufuzidwa ndi kuwonongedwa kwa Iraq ndi Libya. Ndiye pali zida zopanda malire zomwe zakhudza dera la dziko lapansi, kuti, popanda Israeli, sapanga zida zochuluka kuposa momwe Achimereka Achimwenye amapanga whiskey kapena Chinese amadzipangira okha.

Ndiye pali nkhondo zonse zomwe zimaopsezedwa ndi kuopsezedwa, ndi nkhanza zazing'ono m'mayiko ambiri padziko lonse lapansi.

Donald Trump ndi pulezidenti woyamba wa US ku Jimmy Carter kuti asayambe nkhondo zatsopano. Ndipo chifukwa chakuti iye alibe, ngakhale kuti televizioni imamuuza kuti ndiye potsiriza pulezidenti pamene amabweretsa anthu, ngakhale kuti akulakalaka kupembedza khungu komwe kumabwera kwa opanga nkhondo, akunena chinachake cholimbikitsa kwambiri pa chikhalidwe cha US. Ngakhale Vietnam Syndrome yomwe Bush the First inakhulupirira kuti iye adachiritsidwa inali yopanda ungwiro, Iraq Syndrome yotsimikizika siyi, koma ilipo. Ndichifukwa chake Congress inati palibe kuphulika kwakukulu kwa Syria ku 2013. Ndipo mosakayikitsa gawo lalikulu la chifukwa chake Trump sinayambe nkhondo yonse ku Iran. Palibe yemwe akufuna kuchita chinachake chonyansidwa monga chomwe Bush Wachinyamatayo anachita. Palibe chithandizo kuposa momwe chikhalidwe cha US chimaitanira matenda.

Tsopano, ine sindiri kuno kukana kukhalapo komwe kumatchedwa Boma Lakuya kapena kukuuzani kuti palibe olemba maudindo ku Washington, palibe ovomerezeka ku moyo, alibe poizoni, kapena ayi. Koma sindidzakhala woyamba kukuuzani kuti Trump ndi yeniyeni. Ndakumananso ndi mamembala ambiri a Congress. Ngati iwo sankangoganizira chabe, iwo posakhalitsa amakhala choncho. Ndipo izi siziri chinthu choipa kapena chotsutsana ndi demokalase. Ngati Trump ndi yosagonjetsa Iran chifukwa iye ndi ena mu boma adziwa kuti tonsefe tidzakhala tikudzidzimutsa kuti ndizovuta, komanso ngati a Senetiti adzaukira Saudi Arabia - kuphatikizapo Asenema omwe amapatsidwa ndalama ndi Saudi Arabia - chifukwa Saudi Arabia anapha Washington Post Mtolankhani popanda kugwiritsa ntchito msilikali, izi zikutsegula mwayi wina kwa ife. Bwanji ngati ife timachita nkhondo zomwe zimapha munthu aliyense monga momwe ndale akuwopa kuti tingachitire nkhondo zomwe zimapha ambiri a ku America? Bwanji ngati ife tinkakonzekera kukonzekera nkhondo zambiri mwanjira imeneyo?

Sindinatchulepo njira yaikulu imene nkhondo imapha. Maperesenti atatu a ndalama za US zamayiko amatha kuthetsa njala padziko lapansi, limodzi mwa magawo zana mwa kusowa kwa madzi oyera. United States ingapereke nyumba ndi masukulu ndi zipatala kwa aliyense ku Afghanistan chifukwa chochepa kwambiri kuposa momwe adawonongera malowa. Kodi zinthu zikhoza kukhala zoipa komanso zovuta kwambiri pamene dziko la United States likupita kunkhondo? Kumene. Ife tazidziwa izo ndipo tikuzifuniranso izo kwa zaka zambiri, zambiri tsopano, kuchokera pa kumvetsa kuti kenako izo zinafika poipa kwambiri. Amanena kuti kuipitsa mpweya kumayambitsa kutentha kwa dzuwa ndikutulutsa kuwala kwa dzuwa, kotero kuti ngati tiyimitsa ndi kukhala ndi mpweya woyera, kutaya kwa reflectivity kungatanthauze kutentha kwina. Koma palibe chifukwa chilichonse chopitilira kuipitsa. Dziko la Afghanistan lakhala likuipiraipira kwa zaka zambiri. Bwanji ngati tikakamiza anthu a ku America kuti azitsutsa tsiku lililonse la ntchito zomwe zimapangitsa kuti zinthu ziziipiraipira momwe zikuyembekezeretseratu kusuta komwe kumapangitsa kuti zinthu ziziipiraipira? Bwanji ngati ife tikanakhoza kuganiza zokayikitsa malingaliro kuti tipewe kuwonongeka ngati kuti tinali ndi ndalama zomwe sitingathe kuzigwiritsa ntchito mu bajeti ya US? Kodi mungasokoneze dziko lopereka $ 1,000 pa mfuti? Australia idapereka zomwe mfuti zimawononga. Ngati mutapatsa anthu ntchito ku dzuwa ndi mphepo, kodi iwo angawatenge? Ngati mungathe kutaya mazanamazana mabiliyoni a madola kuti agwiritse ntchito malingaliro a momwe angapangire Afghans ngati kukhala otanganidwa, bwanji osagwiritsa ntchito ndalama zocheperapo poyambitsa zida zowononga anthu ku Afghanistan? Ngati zida zankhondo zatsimikiziridwa kuti zitheka, koma otetezeka omwe alibe chitetezo cha usilikali osagonjetsedwa ndi mtendere wamtendere wakhala akuchita bwino padziko lonse, bwanji osayesa?

Vuto, ndithudi, ndikuti njira zopanda nkhondo zomwe sizimenyera ndalama zimatengedwa kuti ndi za mtengo wapatali, pamene nkhondo zomwe zimagula kawiri kawiri zimaonedwa kuti n'zosavomerezeka. Pa June 20, 2013, Atlantic adafalitsa nkhani ya Ta-Neisi Coates yotchedwa "Ayi, Lincoln Sankatha Kukhala 'Nagula Akapolo'." Chifukwa chiyani? Chabwino, akapolowo sankafuna kugulitsa. Izo ndi zoona mwangwiro. Iwo sanatero, ayi konse. Koma Atlantic limagwiritsanso ntchito kutsutsana kwina, kuti kungakhale kotsika mtengo, kotsika mtengo ngati $ 3 biliyoni (mu ndalama za 1860s). Komabe, mukadakhala mukuwerenga mwatcheru-zinali zosavuta kuziphonya-mlembiyo anavomera kuti nkhondoyo imabwereka kawiri konse. Palibe amene akuwoneratu kuti nkhondo idzayamba bwanji, koma chifukwa chakuti nkhondo iliyonse m'mbiri, monga momwe ndikudziwira, yatsimikiziridwa molimba mtima kuti idzawononga ndalama zochepa kwambiri kuposa zomwe zinawonongedwa, ndipo ngati nkhondoyi sitha kutha, titha kuyamba kulingalira kuti ndalama zawo zimakhala zosiyana pakati pa zazikulu ndi zopanda malire.

Kuphana kwa nkhondo zopanda malire zauchigawenga zomwe zakhala zikuwonjezereka kuwonjezereka kwauchigawenga sizinali, mwa njira, zotengera ndalama zambiri zomwe lipoti laposachedwa likudandaula. Lipoti lirilonse la nkhondo zomwe zakhala ndi ndalama zikuyesera kukuuzani kuti pang'ono chabe za ndalama zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito ndi nkhondo, pamene zina zonse ndi zina zomwe sizidziwika. Ndipotu, ndalama zogwiritsira ntchito nkhondo ndizokonzekera nkhondo. Zimalipira United States kuposa madola triliyoni pachaka. Ndicho chiwonongeko chachikulu cha chirengedwe, kuphatikizapo kukhala kokha malo omwe angapeze ndalama zowonjezerapo kuchepa kwa kuwonongeka kwa chilengedwe komwe mwinamwake chatsekedwa kale-zomwe zimapangitsa kusamvetseka kwake kwa kukhalapo kwake kuchokera ku zolemba za Democrats Chotsatira Chatsopano cha Green ndi zomwe akunena mmenemo kuti ndalama zimangopangidwa chabe. Ndicho chivomerezo chachinsinsi cha boma. Ndicho chilungamitso chapamwamba cha kuwonongeka kwa ufulu wa anthu. Ndicho chiyambi chochulukitsa tsankho ndi tsankho. Ankhondo ake amapanga 35% a anthu ophwanya miyendo ya ku America koma ndi 14% ya chiwerengero cha amuna a zaka zoyenera. Kwachititsa anthu m'mayiko ambiri akuuza anthu kuti United States ndizoopsa kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi. Kukonzekera kwa nkhondo kumapindulitsa paokha komanso kwa wina aliyense. Zimapweteka kwambiri kuposa nkhondo iliyonse. Zimayambitsa chiopsezo cha nyukiliya pamene mayiko ambiri akuyesetsa kuthetsa zida za nyukiliya. Kuti nkhondo yeniyeni ikhale yokhayo iyenera kukhala yovomerezeka yokhayokha, ndipo ngati yosatheka, imaposa imfa ndi chiwonongeko chomwe chinapangidwa ndikuloledwa kuti chichitike mwa kusankha kusokoneza chuma chathu kukhazikitsa nkhondo.

Nkhondo ndi chinthu choipitsitsa kwambiri chomwe anthu amachita, ndipo komabe icho chakhala chachilendo kotero kuti chimangochitika popanda kunena, ndipo kufunika kochotsa izo sikunanenedwe konse.

Ngati muwerenga mawebusaiti a mabungwe awiri a a New Mexico ndi oimira atatu, simungathe kudziwa ngati wina wa iwo akuganiza kuti 60% ya discretionary ndalama zokhudzana ndi usilikali ndizochepa kapena zambiri kapena zabwino, akufuna kuti United States iyanjane ndi machitidwe ambiri omwe akugwira nawo, komanso ngati aliyense wa iwo akufuna kuthetsa nkhondo iliyonse kapena kuyambitsa nkhondo iliyonse, atseke maziko alionse kapena kutsegula zifukwa zilizonse. Pa webusaiti ya awiri a iwo, Ben Ray Lujan ndi Xochitl Torres Small simudzapeza ndondomeko yachilendo kwina ndipo simungathe kunena kuti dzikoli liyenera kukhalapo chifukwa amakhulupirira kuti asilikali achilombo amatiteteza ndi kuteteza ufulu wathu, chitani icho penapake. Gawo lachitatu, Deb Haaland, limapereka ziganizo zitatu ndipo amafuna kugwiritsa ntchito mphamvu kuti ikhale yomaliza, koma sichifotokoza momwe zingatheke. Tom Udall akukondwera ndi nkhondo ya Afghanistan koma komabe akufuna kuti athetse zaka khumi kapena khumi zosadziŵika. Iye akuganiza kuti United States ikufalitsa demokalase ku Middle East ndi kuti kupatsa zida kwa Israeli kumathandiza. Martin Heinrich akudzudzula Phokoso la sabata likugwedeza mu chigamulo chimodzi ndikudzipatula pakutsatira, akuwona NATO ngati mphamvu yabwino, akukhulupirira kuti North Korea ndi Russia ndi "zoopseza padziko lonse," ndipo amati dziko la Russia lasokoneza dziko la United States m'njira yosadziwika. Heinrich akunena kuti United States iyenera kungopanga chigawenga chopha anthu poyambitsa nkhondo pamene ili ndi "zolinga zenizeni, zomwe zingatheke." Iye akuwonjezera ziganizo zingapo zothandizira thandizo lachilendo ndi kuthetsa kusintha kwa nyengo.

Pali mtundu wachitatu wa yankho la funso lakuti "Kodi mungasinthire nkhondo iyi ndi chiyani?" Ndikutanthauza kuti tifunika kusintha malo onse a nkhondo ndi mafakitale amtendere, diplomatikiti, maboma apadziko lonse, kuthetsa mikangano yosagwirizana ndi nkhondo, komanso chikhalidwe cha mtendere, mtundu uwu wa kusintha kosinthika ukufotokozedwa mkati World BEYOND WarBukhu la Mulungu, A Global Security System: An Alternative Nkhondo.

Kotero, kodi tifunika kuchita chiyani kuti tipite kumeneko? Kodi ntchito zatsopano zomwe zikufunika ndi ziti?

Tiyenera kuyitanitsa kutha kwa nkhondo ndi zida zina zomwe zimagwira ntchito, koma tikuyenera kutero ngati gawo la polojekiti yomwe ikufuna kuthetseratu. Izi zikutanthawuza kusatsutsa nkhondo kuti tikhale okonzekera bwino nkhondo zina. Zimatanthawuza kusatsutsa zida chifukwa chakuti sizigwira ntchito komanso zida zabwino zogwira ntchito. Izi zikutanthawuza kusadzipangitsa kuti 3 kapena 4 peresenti ya anthu omwe anamwalira pa nkhondo yomwe ikufa ku America ndi 100 peresenti ya imfa. Chifukwa amatha kupeŵa anthu omwe amafa koma akupha nthawi zambiri. Kumatanthauza kupititsa patsogolo zikondwerero za nkhondo mu chikhalidwe chathu ndi zikondwerero za mtendere. Zimatanthawuza kuphunzitsa anthu kuti amvetsetse ndikufunanso njira zowonongeka ndi kutembenuka.

Koma sizikutanthauza kusowa kwachangu. Kukula kukuyitana kuchitapo kanthu mwamsanga komanso kusagwirizana ndi zipolowe, kuphatikizapo kusokonekera, kuphatikizapo magulu omwe ali ndi mayina oyenerera monga Kuthamangitsidwa Kwachiwonongeko ayenera kukhalanso cholinga cha iwo omwe ayang'ana onse pamagulu a mpweya m'mlengalenga ndi nthawi ya nyukiliya. Maopseza awa awiri ali pafupi kwambiri kuposa kale lonse, ndipo amatsekedwa kwambiri. Sikuti nkhondo ndi ndalama zomwe zimakhala zofunikira kuti chitetezo chizitetezedwe, komabe chigamulo ndizofunikira kwambiri kuwononga chilengedwe.

Ndinalembera kalata kalata kwa Senator Bernie Sanders kumupempha kuti achite nawo nkhondo. Ndinapempha akatswiri a 100 ndi ovomerezeka kuti ayambe kuzilemba, ndipo zikwizikwi zasiya izo kuyambira. Lero, World BEYOND War, RootsAction.org, ndi CODE PINK anayambitsa pempho ku Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, akumufunsa Green Green Deal kuti avomereze kuti asilikali a US akukhala ngati chiwonongeko chobwezeretsa kubwezeretsa maziko komanso ngati chitsimikizo cha ndalama zomwe zikufunikira kusunthidwa ku zosowa zaumunthu ndi zachilengedwe.

World BEYOND War akugwira ntchito pazochitika zingapo zomwe aliyense angachite nawo. Mmodzi ndikutseka maziko. Wina akutsutsana ndi ogulitsa zida. Timayang'ananso pa maphunziro. Tikuyankhula mu makoleji ndi masukulu apamwamba, komanso ndi magulu a aphunzitsi. Tili ndi ma webusitala aulere komanso maphunziro a pa Intaneti omwe akubwera mwamsanga kuti mutha kulemba pa worldsyondwar.org.

Tikugwiritsanso ntchito zomangamanga. Chifukwa chakuti nkhondo ndipamwamba yowononga chilengedwe ndi ufulu wa anthu ndi malamulo, komanso kulimbikitsa tsankho, ndi dzenje limene ndalama zatayidwa zomwe zimafunikira ndi kayendetsedwe kake komweko, tikhoza kumanga gulu lalikulu.

Mmodzi mwa mwayi wochita zimenezi ndi April 4th ukudza, womwe uyenera kukhala tsiku lolemba Martin Luther King Jr. wotchuka kwambiri motsutsana ndi nkhondo ndi kuphedwa chimodzimodzi patatha tsiku limodzi. NATO ikukonzekera zokondwerera zokha, nkhondo zake, maziko ake ndi zida pa April 4th ku Washington, DC Tikukonzekera kukondwerera mtendere ndi kusakondwera ndi NATO ku tawuni, ndipo mukuitanidwa kuti mubwere ku DC ndikuchita zomwe mukuchita pano. Onani http://notoNATO.org kumene mungadzipereke, kuvomereza, kuthandizira, kupeza makwerero ndi malo ogona, ndi zina.

Pokhala mgwirizano waukulu, pali zinthu zambiri zomwe zimagawanitsa ife ndi kutisokoneza ife. Chimodzi mwa zinthu zoipitsitsa zomwe zimachita zonsezi ndi chiyanjano. Ndikuganiza kuti ndifunikira kuzindikira maphunziro a mbiriyakale: kusintha kwakukulu kwakukulu kwabwera kuchokera kuzinthu zosasunthika zomwe zasintha zomwe zimalandiridwa, osati kuyika anthu osiyana.

Sindikutsutsana ndi chisankho. Ndikuganiza kuti dziko la United States liyenera kukhala nawo tsiku lina kudziko lonse mwachilungamo. Ndipo ndikuganiza kuti tiyenera kugwiritsa ntchito njira yovunda yomwe tili nayo. Ndipo sindikutsutsa kusintha amene ali mu mphamvu. Ndipotu, ndikuganiza kuti chisankho ndi chocheperako komanso sichidziwika bwino, komanso kuti tikusowa chinyengo ndi kuchotsedwa, komanso kuopsezedwa kwachinyengo ndi kuchotsedwa, zomwe ndizofunika kwambiri kuposa momwe munthuyo aliri amene amapita ku ofesi.

Pankhani ya chisankho, ngati mukufuna kuchita chinthu chochepa choipa, gwirani nokha. Kupewa kukangana za izo zikanakhala mphatso yaikulu ya nthawi ndi mphamvu kwa anthu. Koma pamene si tsiku lachisankho, ndikuganiza kuti aliyense ndi wochepetsetsa maganizo ndi zochepetsera zoipa zimakhala zovuta kwambiri. Zaka zapitazo misonkhano yothandizira bungwe la malamulo a zaumoyo yomwe imaletsa anthu kunena mawu oti "malipiro amodzi" kuti anthu azidziyesa kufuna chinachake chomwe chimatchedwa "chisankho cha anthu onse." Iwo adafunsa a Democrats zomwe anthu ayenera kudzionetsera kuti akufuna. Ndipo ndithudi iwo sankakhala ndi zomwe anthu ankafuna kwenikweni kapena zomwe anthu ankamunamizira kuti ankafuna. Akuluakulu osankhidwa ayenera kudzipangira okha. Sakusowa kuti muwachitire iwo.

Ndangoyang'anitsitsa Purezidenti wakale Obama akudzitamandira ponena za kuchulukitsa kwake mafuta. Ndipo ndinakumbukira kuti 350.org inali ndi zionetsero za Obama ndi Obama zolemba ndi zokondweretsa Obama ndi kulengeza kuti Obama ayenera kusintha kwambiri njira zake chifukwa anthu awa anali naye ngati adachita kapena ayi.

Chiwonetsero chofuna chipulumutso cha dziko lapansi sichiyenera kukhala kapena kutsutsana ndi gulu la aliyense. Icho chiyenera kukhala cha anthu onse. Chidziwitso chathu sichiyenera kukhala timu imodzi yowonongeka kapena yina, kapena ngakhale gawo lonse la 4 la umunthu m'dziko lino. Ziyenera kukhala zamoyo zonsezi, zamoyo zina, komanso zachilengedwe zomwe tonsefe timadalira.
