NATO ndi olemba nkhani osiyanasiyana omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito ndi manyuzipepala akuluakulu aku US ndipo akasinja "oganiza" amakhulupirira kuti kuchuluka kwa ndalama zankhondo kuyenera kuyerekezedwa poyerekeza ndi chuma chamayiko. Ngati muli ndi ndalama zambiri, muyenera kugwiritsa ntchito ndalama zambiri pankhondo ndikukonzekera nkhondo. Sindikudziwa ngati izi zikuchokera pazofufuza ku Afghanistan ndi Libya posonyeza kuyamikira nkhondo ngati ntchito yothandiza anthu kapena gwero lina lazidziwitso zosalingalira.
Lingaliro lomwe limalandira kukwezedwa pang'ono kuchokera kumabungwe omwe amapereka ndalama kumakampani opanga zida ndikuti kuchuluka kwa ndalama zankhondo kuyenera kufananizidwa ndi kukula kwake. Ndikuvomereza izi pazolinga zambiri. Ndikofunika kudziwa kuti ndi mayiko ati omwe amawononga ndalama zochulukirapo. Zilibe kanthu kuti US ikutsogola bwanji, ndipo ndikofunikira kwambiri kuti bungwe la NATO lilamulire padziko lonse lapansi kuposa kuti mamembala ena a NATO alephera kugwiritsa ntchito 2% ya GDP yawo.
Koma njira yodziwika kwambiri yoyerekeza kuyerekezera kwina kosaneneka ndi ya munthu aliyense, ndipo izi zimawoneka zofunikira kwa inenso, zikafika pakugwiritsa ntchito ankhondo.
Choyamba, mapanga abwinobwino. Ndalama zonse zomwe boma la US limagwiritsa ntchito pomenya nkhondo chaka chilichonse ndi, malinga ndi kuwerengera kodziyimira pawokha, pafupifupi $ 1.25 trilioni, koma nambala yoperekedwa ndi SIPRI yomwe imapereka manambala kumayiko ena ambiri (potero kulola kufananitsa) ili pafupifupi theka la trilioni yocheperako. Palibe amene ali ndi chidziwitso ku North Korea. Zambiri za SIPRI zomwe zagwiritsidwa ntchito pano, monga Mapuwa, ndi za 2019 mu madola a 2018 US (chifukwa amagwiritsidwa ntchito kufananiza chaka ndi chaka), ndipo makulidwe a anthu amatengedwa kuchokera Pano.
Tsopano, kodi kufananizira munthu aliyense kumatiuza chiyani? Amatiuza kuti ndi dziko liti lomwe limasamala za kuwononga dziko lina. India ndi Pakistan amagwiritsa ntchito ndalama zofanana ndendende pamunthu aliyense. Czech Republic ndi Slovakia zimawononga ndalama zofanana ndendende pamunthu aliyense. Amatiuzanso kuti mayiko omwe akugulitsa kwambiri nkhondo poyerekeza ndi kuchuluka kwa anthu omwe ali nawo ndi osiyana kwambiri ndi omwe akutsogolera omwe amawononga nkhondo - kupatula kuti United States ili pamalo oyamba pamndandanda wonsewo (koma lead ndi ochepa kwambiri pamasanjidwe a aliyense). Nayi mndandanda wazogwiritsira ntchito zankhondo pa munthu aliyense mwa zitsanzo za maboma:

Monga kuyerekezera kugwiritsa ntchito ndalama kwathunthu, munthu amayenera kupita kutali kwambiri kuti apeze adani omwe abisala ku US. Koma apa Russia idumpha pamwamba pamndandanda, kuwononga 20% yonse yazomwe US ikuchita pa munthu aliyense, pomwe amangogwiritsa ndalama zosakwana 9% pamtengo wokwanira. Mosiyana ndi izi, China idatsika pamndandanda, kuwononga ndalama zochepera 9% pa munthu aliyense zomwe United States imachita, ndikugwiritsa ntchito 37% pamtengo wokwanira. Iran, pakadali pano, imagwiritsa ntchito 5% pamunthu aliyense zomwe US imachita, poyerekeza ndi zoposa 1% pamtengo wonse.
Pakadali pano, mndandanda waogwirizana ndi makasitomala aku US omwe amatsogolera masanjidwe (pakati pa mayiko omwe akutsatira United States palokha) akusintha. M'mawu omwe tikudziwa bwino, tikadakhala tikuyang'ana ku India, Saudi Arabia, France, Germany, UK, Italy, Brazil, Australia, ndi Canada ngati omwe amataya ndalama kwambiri. Potengera mawu a aliyense, tikuyang'ana ku Israel, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Norway, Australia, Denmark, France, Finland, ndi UK ngati mayiko ankhondo kwambiri. Asitikali apamwamba mokwanira amadzaza kwambiri pamwamba ogulitsa zida (United States, yoyendetsedwa ndi France, Russia, UK, Germany, China, Italy) komanso ndi mamembala okhazikika a bungweli omwe adakhazikitsa kuti athetse nkhondo, UN Security Council (US, UK, France, China, Russia).
Atsogoleri omwe amagwiritsa ntchito zida zankhondo pamunthu aliyense ndi amodzi mwa omwe ali pafupi kwambiri ndi US komanso makasitomala azida. Amaphatikizapo boma lachigawenga ku Palestina, olamulira mwankhanza achifumu ku Middle East (olumikizana ndi United States kuwononga Yemen), ndi ma demokalase azikhalidwe aku Scandinavia omwe ena a ife ku United States nthawi zambiri timawona ngati chitsogozo chazinthu zofunikira kuzosowa za anthu komanso zachilengedwe ( osati zabwino kuposa United States pa izi, koma kuposa mayiko ena ambiri).
Pali kulumikizana pakati pa kugwiritsira ntchito ndalama kwa munthu aliyense komanso kusowa kwa moyo waumunthu, koma zinthu zina zambiri ndizofunikira, Ndi awiri okha mwa omwe akutsogolera nkhondo ya 10 pamunthu (US ndi UK) nawonso ali pamwamba pa 10 malo za kufa kwa COVID pa munthu aliyense. Zothandizira zosowa zaumunthu ndi zachilengedwe zitha kupezeka pochepetsa kusalingana ndi oligarchy, komanso zitha kupezeka mosavuta pobwezeretsa nkhondo. Zomwe anthu ku United States angafune kudzifunsa ngati aliyense - mwamuna aliyense, mkazi, mwana, ndi khanda - amapindula pogwiritsa ntchito $ 2,000 chaka chilichonse pankhondo zaboma zomwe sizingapatse anthu osankhidwa $ 2,000 kupulumuka mliri komanso mavuto azachuma. Ndipo kodi izi ndizopindulitsa chifukwa chogwiritsa ntchito ankhondo nthawi zambiri zilizonse zomwe mayiko ena amapeza chifukwa chogwiritsa ntchito nkhondo?
Kumbukirani, mosiyana ndi nthano zodziwika bwino, United States imakhala yosauka kwambiri poyerekeza ndi mayiko ena olemera pamlingo uliwonse waufulu, thanzi, maphunziro, kupewa umphawi, kusamalira zachilengedwe, chitukuko, kuyenda kwachuma, ndi demokalase. Kuti United States ili pamwamba pazinthu zazikulu ziwiri zokha, ndende ndi nkhondo, ziyenera kutipatsa kaye kaye.
