Ndi Alice Slater

Lingaliro laposachedwa la NATO lomanga magulu ake ankhondo ku Europe potumiza zida zinayi zatsopano zamayiko osiyanasiyana ku Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia ndi Poland, zikubwera panthawi yachipwirikiti komanso kukayikira kwakukulu kwachitetezo chapadziko lonse lapansi ndi magulu atsopano ankhondo abwino ndi oyipa. kupanga chizindikiro chawo m'mbiri. Kumapeto kwa sabata ino, ku Vatican, Papa Francisko adachita msonkhano wapadziko lonse wotsatira mgwirizano womwe wangokambirana posachedwa woletsa kugwidwa, kugwiritsa ntchito, kapena kuwopseza kugwiritsa ntchito zida za nyukiliya zomwe zidapangitsa kuti zida za nyukiliya zithetsedwe kwathunthu zomwe zidakambidwa ku UN General Assembly chilimwe chino. ndi mayiko 122, ngakhale kuti palibe mayiko asanu ndi anayi a zida zanyukiliya omwe adatenga nawo gawo. Olemekezeka pamsonkhanowo anali mamembala a International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) omwe adagwira ntchito ndi maboma ochezeka kuti asunge zida za nyukiliya mosaloledwa, ndipo posachedwapa wapatsidwa Mphotho Yamtendere ya 2017 Nobel chifukwa chakuchita bwino. Papa wapereka ndemanga kuti chiphunzitso choletsa zida za nyukiliya chomwe mayiko akuwopseza kuwononga zida za nyukiliya kwa adani awo ngati atawukiridwa ndi mabomba a nyukiliya sichigwira ntchito motsutsana ndi 21.^st Ziwopsezo zazaka zana monga uchigawenga mikangano yosagwirizana, zovuta zachilengedwe ndi umphawi. Pamene kuli kwakuti tchalitchi nthaŵi ina inkakhulupirira kuti mkhalidwe wamisala woterowo ukhoza kukhala wakhalidwe ndi wololeka, suuonanso motero. Ndipo pali mapulani oti tchalitchi chifufuze chiphunzitso chotchedwa "nkhondo yolungama" ndi diso loletsa makhalidwe abwino ndi kuvomerezeka kwa nkhondo yokha.

Ku US, kuyesa kosaneneka kwa mbiri yathu yobisika kwayamba. Anthu akukayikira ziboliboli zambiri zolemekezeka zokumbukira akuluakulu ankhondo a Civil War ochokera kumwera omwe adamenya nkhondo kuti asunge ukapolo. Indigenous First Peoples akukayikira kutamandidwa komwe kunaperekedwa kwa Christopher Columbus, yemwe "adapeza" America ku Spain ndipo ndi amene adapha anthu ambiri komanso kukhetsa magazi m'madera oyamba omwe adakhazikitsidwa ku America. Amuna odziwika komanso amphamvu akufunsidwa pagulu lakunena zoona za momwe adagwiritsira ntchito mphamvu zawo zamaluso kupezerapo mwayi pakugonana kwa azimayi omwe amawopa mwayi wawo wantchito mu zisudzo, kusindikiza, bizinesi, maphunziro.

Tsoka ilo, sitinayambe kunena zoona za ubale wa US ndi Russia ndipo tikuwoneka kuti tikubwerera m'mbuyo ku US ndi kuyimbira foni. Russia Today, chofanana ndi Chirasha cha BBC kapena Al Jazeera, kuti chilembetsedwe ku US ngati wothandizira wakunja! Izi sizikugwirizana ndi chikhulupiriro cha US pa kupatulika kwa makina osindikizira aulere ndipo adzatsutsidwa m'makhothi. Zowonadi, pali kuyesayesa kwakukulu kuimilira molakwika zoyambitsa za NATO, kuwunikira mbiri ya mpikisano wa zida za nyukiliya- kukana kutenga zomwe Gorbachev adapereka kwa Reagan kuti athetse zida zathu zonse za nyukiliya ngati US idasiya zolinga zake zolamulira ndi kuwongolera kugwiritsa ntchito malo; kukula kwa NATO ngakhale kuti Reagan adalonjeza Gorbachev kuti NATO sidzapitanso chakum'mawa kupyola Germany yogwirizana khomalo litagwa; Clinton kukana kupereka kwa Putin kuti adule zida zathu ku zida za nyukiliya za 1,000 aliyense ndikuyitanitsa maphwando onse patebulo kuti akambirane kuti athetsedwe pokhapokha ngati sitinaike zida zankhondo ku Eastern Europe; Clinton akutsogolera NATO pakuphulitsa mabomba kosaloledwa ku Kosovo, kunyalanyaza veto la Russia pakuchitapo kanthu mu Security Council; Bush akutuluka mu Pangano la Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty; kutsekereza kwa mgwirizano mu Komiti ya Zida ku Geneva kuti ayambe kukambirana pa pempho la Russia ndi China, lomwe linapangidwa mu 2008 komanso 2015, kuti aletse zida mumlengalenga. Chodabwitsa n'chakuti, poganizira chilengezo chaposachedwa cha NATO kuti ikulitsa ntchito zake za cyber komanso nkhani yodabwitsa yoti US National Security Agency idakumana ndi vuto lopunduka pa zida zake zowononga makompyuta, kukana kwa US ku lingaliro la Russia la 2009 kuti akambirane pangano la Cyberwar Ban Treaty. US itadzitama kuti idawononga mphamvu yaku Iran yolemeretsa uranium ndi Israeli pogwiritsa ntchito kachilombo ka Stuxnet pakuwukira kwa cyber zikuwoneka ngati kugamula kolakwika kwa US kuti asatenge Russia pamalingaliro ake. Zowonadi, mpikisano wonse wa zida za nyukiliya ukanapewedwa, ngati Truman akanavomera malingaliro a Stalin kuti apereke bomba ku UN moyang'aniridwa ndi mayiko onse kumapeto kwa Nkhondo Yachiwiri Yadziko Lonse. M'malo mwake Truman anaumirira kuti US ipitirize kulamulira teknoloji, ndipo Stalin anapitiriza kupanga bomba la Soviet.

Mwina njira yokhayo yomvetsetsera kuwonongeka kwa ubale wa US-Russia kuyambira pomwe Nkhondo Yozizira idatha, ndikukumbukira chenjezo la Purezidenti Eisenhower mukulankhula kwake kotsanzikana ndi zovuta zankhondo ndi mafakitale. Opanga zida zankhondo, omwe ali ndi mabiliyoni a madola omwe ali pachiwopsezo awononga ndale zathu, media, maphunziro, Congress. Malingaliro a anthu aku US amasinthidwa kuti athandizire nkhondo ndi "kuimba mlandu Russia". Zomwe zimatchedwa "War on Terror", ndi njira yowonjezereka yauchigawenga. Monga kuponya mwala pachisa cha manyanga, US imafesa imfa ndi chiwonongeko padziko lonse lapansi kupha anthu wamba osalakwa m'dzina lolimbana ndi uchigawenga, ndikuyitanitsa zigawenga zambiri. Russia yomwe idataya anthu 27 miliyoni pachiwopsezo cha Nazi, ikhoza kumvetsetsa bwino zoopsa zankhondo. Mwina titha kuyitanitsa bungwe la Truth and Reconciliation Commission kuti liwulule zomwe zidayambitsa mikangano pakati pa US ndi Russia. Tikuwoneka kuti tikulowa mu nthawi yatsopano yonena zoona komanso zomwe zingakhale zolandirika kuposa kuwonetsa moona mtima ubale wa US-Russian kuti timvetsetse bwino komanso kuthetsa kusamvana kwathu mwamtendere. Ndi tsoka lomwe likubwera la nyengo komanso kuthekera kwa kuwononga zamoyo zonse padziko lapansi ndi chiwonongeko cha nyukiliya, kodi sitiyenera kupereka mwayi wamtendere?
