Ndemanga za Richard Milne & Gray Southon
Gulu lankhondo silikugwiranso ntchito, ndi lokwera mtengo kwambiri ndipo limavulaza kwambiri kuposa zabwino.
Ndemanga: Pamene tikusonkhana kuti tikumbukire nkhondo yankhondo yomwe yafa pa Tsiku la Anzac, ndi bwino kukumbukira kuti nkhondo yoyamba yapadziko lonse itangotha kumene kunali kuyembekezera kuti idzakhala "nkhondo yothetsa nkhondo zonse". Ambiri mwa omwe adasonkhana koyamba kuti akumbukire anthu omwe adamwalira pankhondoyo - kuphatikiza amayi, alongo ndi ana a anyamata omwe adagwa m'minda ya ku Europe - adafuula mokweza kuti "N'zosathekanso!" mutu wa zochitika zawo zokumbukira.
Kuyambira pamenepo, kuyang'ana pakukumbukira omwe adamwalira kunkhondo kuti awonetsetse kuti palibe amene adzavutikenso pankhondo yakhala ntchito yanthawi yayitali, yongotengera omwe alowa m'malo a Peace Pledge Union ndi Poppy Woyera othandizira. M’malo mwake, nkhondo zapitirizabe mokhazikika mwakupha ndipo kukumbukira nkhondo kwakhala, m’mawonekedwe ena, mtundu wachipembedzo chachiŵeniŵeni ndi njira yokonzekeretsa anthu kaamba ka nkhondo zowonjezereka ndi kuwononga ndalama zochulukiratu zankhondo.
Chaka chino chimapereka nthawi yowawa kwambiri kuti tiganizirenso za malo a nkhondo, zankhondo ndi cholinga cha kukumbukira nkhondo m'dera lathu, osati chifukwa cha zochitika za zaka zingapo zapitazi. Mliri wa Covid wapha anthu opitilira XNUMX miliyoni padziko lonse lapansi ndikuyambitsa kusokonekera kwakukulu kwachuma ndi chikhalidwe m'maiko onse. Panthaŵi imodzimodziyo, vuto la nyengo lachititsa chiwonjezeko chowopsa cha moto wowononga nkhalango, kusefukira kwa madzi ndi zochitika zina zanyengo zoipitsitsa, zimene zachititsa imfa masauzande ambiri ndi kuwononga mabiliyoni ambiri. Osati chabe zopanda ntchito pothana ndi ziwopsezo zachitetezo izi, asitikali apadziko lonse lapansi ndi amodzi mwa omwe amathandizira kwambiri pakutulutsa mpweya wa kaboni: asitikali amayambitsa kusatetezeka chifukwa chothandizira kutentha kwanyengo.
Mwina chofunika kwambiri, kafukufuku wochuluka wa maphunziro awonetsa kuti mphamvu zankhondo zikukhala zocheperapo ngati chida cha statecraft. Gulu lankhondo silikugwiranso ntchito. Magulu ankhondo amphamvu kwambiri padziko lapansi satha kupambana nkhondo, ngakhale adani ofooka kwambiri. Kuchoka kopanda ulemu kwa United States ku Afghanistan chaka chatha mwina ndi fanizo lomveka bwino komanso lodziwikiratu la chochitika ichi, ngakhale tikumbukirenso zolephera zankhondo za US ku Vietnam, Lebanon, Somalia ndi Iraq. Ku Afghanistan, gulu lankhondo lalikulu kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi silinathe kugonjetsa gulu lankhondo losauka la zigawenga ndi mfuti komanso magalimoto onyamula mfuti ngakhale ayesetsa kwa zaka 20.
M'malo mwake, "nkhondo yolimbana ndi zigawenga" yapadziko lonse lapansi yakhala ikulephera kwakukulu pazaka makumi awiri zapitazi, kuwononga mabiliyoni a madola ndikuwononga miyoyo yopitilira miliyoni imodzi. Palibe komwe asitikali aku US adapita mzaka zapitazi za 20 kuti athane ndi uchigawenga adawona kusintha kwachitetezo, bata kapena demokalase. New Zealand yanyamulanso mtengo wakulephera kwankhondo posachedwa, miyoyo yatayika komanso mbiri yake idawonongeka m'mapiri a Afghanistan.
Komabe, kulephera kwa kuukira kwa Russia ku Ukraine ndi fanizo lodziwika bwino la zolephera ndi mtengo wankhondo ngati chida champhamvu cha dziko. Putin mpaka pano walephera kukwaniritsa zolinga zake zandale kapena zandale, ngakhale kuti asitikali aku Russia ndi apamwamba kwambiri. Mwachidziwitso, Russia yalephera pafupifupi zolinga zake zonse zoyambirira ndipo yakakamizika kutsata njira zovutirapo. Pazandale, kuwukiraku kwachita zosiyana ndi zomwe Putin amayembekezera: osati kulepheretsa Nato, bungweli lilinso ndi mphamvu ndipo oyandikana nawo aku Russia akuthamangira kuti alowe nawo.
Nthawi yomweyo, zoyesayesa zapadziko lonse lapansi kulanga ndi kukakamiza Russia kuti athetse kuukira kwawulula momwe chuma chapadziko lonse lapansi chikuphatikizidwa, komanso momwe nkhondo imapwetekera aliyense mosasamala kanthu za kuyandikira kwawo komwe akumenyera nkhondo. Masiku ano, n’zosatheka kumenya nkhondo popanda kuwononga chuma cha padziko lonse.
Ngati titati tiganizirenso zotsatira za nthawi yaitali za nkhondo kwa anthu omwe akumenyana, anthu wamba omwe akuvutika chifukwa cha kuwonongeka kwawo, komanso omwe amawona zoopsa zake, izi zingapangitse kuti ayambe kumenyana ndi nkhondo. Asilikali ndi anthu wamba omwe adalowa nawo kunkhondo amavutika ndi vuto lachisokonezo cham'mbuyo komanso zomwe akatswiri a zamaganizo amatcha "kuvulala kwa makhalidwe" patapita nthawi yaitali, zomwe nthawi zambiri zimafuna chithandizo chokhazikika chamaganizo. Zowawa za nkhondo zimavulaza anthu, mabanja ndi magulu onse kwa mibadwomibadwo. Nthawi zambiri zimayambitsa chidani chozama pakati pa mibadwo, mikangano ndi chiwawa chowonjezereka pakati pa mbali zomenyana.
Tsiku la Anzac ili, pamene tikuyimirira chete kuti tilemekeze nkhondo yankhondo yakufa, mwinamwake tiyenera kulingalira momwe tingadziperekere kuti tithe kuthetsa mliri wa nkhondo ndi ndalama zankhondo. Pamlingo wofunikira kwambiri, gulu lankhondo siligwira ntchito ndipo ndizopusa kupitirizabe ndi zomwe zalephera nthawi zambiri. Gulu lankhondo silingathenso kutiteteza ku ziwopsezo zomwe zikuchulukirachulukira za matenda ndi zovuta zanyengo. Ndiwokwera mtengo kwambiri ndipo mwachikhulupiriro amawononga kwambiri kuposa zabwino zilizonse zomwe amapeza. Chofunika koposa, pali njira zina m’malo mwa nkhondo: mitundu ya chitetezo ndi chitetezo imene siidalira kusunga magulu ankhondo; njira zopewera kuponderezedwa kapena kuwukira popanda magulu ankhondo; njira zothetsera mikangano popanda chiwawa; mitundu yachitetezo cha anthu wamba popanda zida. Chaka chino chikuwoneka ngati nthawi yabwino yoti tiganizirenso zomwe timakonda kunkhondo komanso kulemekeza akufa pothetsa nkhondo.
