On October 9, Ndinali m'chipululu cha Nevada ndi antchito achikatolika ochokera kuzungulira dziko lonse lapansi kuti ndipemphere ndi kusamvana pa zomwe tsopano zimatchedwa Nevada National Security Site, malo oyesa pakati pa 1951 ndi 1992, mapepala mazana asanu ndi anayi mphambu asanu ndi atatu mphambu asanu ndi atatu olembedwa mlengalenga ndipo kuyesedwa kwa nyukiliya pansi pano kunachitika. Popeza kuti Pangano la Banki Loyamba la Nuclear-Test-Test and Final Cold War, National Nuclear Security Administration, NNSA, adasunga malowa, osokoneza cholinga cha mgwirizanowo ndi "ntchito yoti asunge popanda kugwiritsa ntchito nyukiliya pansi pake kuyesa. "
Masiku atatu m'mbuyomo, ngati kutikumbutsa kuti malo oyesera sizomwe zili ndi mbiri yofunikira kwambiri, NNSA inalengeza kuti kumayambiriro kwa mweziwo, awiri B-2 Stealth Bombers ochokera ku Whiteman Air Force Base ku Missouri anagwetsa mabomba awiri a nyukiliya a B61 pa webusaitiyi. "Cholinga chachikulu cha kuyesedwa kwa ndege ndicho kupeza kudalirika, kulondola, ndi deta zomwe zili pansi pazifukwa zovomerezeka," adatero NNSA zofalitsa. "Kuyesedwa koteroko ndi mbali ya kusintha kwa masinthidwe amasiku ano ndi mapulojekiti othandizira zida zankhondo.
"B61 ndichinthu chofunikira kwambiri pamagulu atatu anyukiliya ku United States komanso zolepheretsa," atero a Brig. Gen. Michael Lutton, wachiwiri kwa wachiwiri kwa wothandizira woyang'anira ntchito yankhondo. "Mayeso aposachedwa kwambiri apaulendo apandege akuwonetsa kudzipereka kwa NNSA kuonetsetsa kuti zida zonse zili zotetezeka, zotetezeka, komanso zogwira ntchito."
General Lutton ndi NNSA sanena kuti ndizoopsa zotani zomwe mabomba a nyukiliya a B61 akuyesedwa. Zida zamakampani zamagulu, kuphatikizapo "mapulogalamu a zowonjezera zowonjezera moyo" a US amayesetsa kugwiritsa ntchito ndalama zokwana madola trillion kwa zaka makumi angapo, sizomwe zimayankha zowopsya koma zilipo kuti zidzipitirize. Pofuna kugwiritsidwa ntchito pagulu, ndalama zowonjezera izi zimafuna kulungamitsidwa. Uthenga wosabisawu wakuti uwu unali "wouma" wa kuukira kwa nyukiliya ku Russia sikunaphonye ndi mauthenga omwe anatenga nkhaniyo.
Posakhalitsa nditachoka ku Nevada, ndinali ku Moscow, ku Russia, monga mbali ya anthu ochepa omwe akuimira Voices for Creative Nonviolence ku United States ndi United Kingdom. Pa masiku otsatirawa a 10 ku Moscow ndi St. Petersburg, sitinaonepo kanthu kakang'ono kokonzekera nkhondo kumeneko yomwe ikudziwika ku Western media. Sitinaonepo chizindikiro ndipo palibe amene tinalankhula kuti adziwa chilichonse chokhudza anthu omwe a XMUMX miliyoni a ku Russia anawatulutsa ku boma. "Kodi Putin akukonzekera WW40?" Anafunsa UK tabloid on October 14: "Atasiya kulumikizana pakati pa USA ndi Russia, a Kremlin adakonza ntchito yayikulu yochita zadzidzidzi - ngati kuwonetsa mphamvu kapena china choopsa." Kubowola kumeneku kunakhala kuwunika kwapachaka komwe ozimitsa moto, ogwira ntchito kuchipatala komanso apolisi amachita pafupipafupi kuti athe kuwunika momwe angathetsere masoka achilengedwe komanso opangidwa ndi anthu.
Pazaka zapitazi ndayendera mizinda yambiri ya padziko lapansi ndi Moscow ndi St. Petersburg ndizochepa zomwe ndaziwonapo. Mwachitsanzo, pakuyendera White House ku Washington, DC, simungaphonye mawonekedwe a Secret Secret Service omwe ali ndi zida zowonongeka poyendetsa mzere wa mpanda ndi silhouettes of snipers padenga. Mosiyana, ngakhale ku Red Square ndi Kremlin, mpando wa boma la Russia, ndi apolisi ochepa chabe omwe ali ndi zida zooneka bwino. Iwo ankawoneka makamaka ogwira ntchito popereka malangizo kwa alendo.
Kuyenda pa zotsika mtengo, malo ogona alendo, kudya mu cafeteri ndi kuyenda pagalimoto ndi njira yabwino yochezera dera lirilonse ndipo linatipatsa mipata yokomana ndi anthu omwe sitikanawapeza. Tinatsatizana ndi azimayi omwe adafika ku Russia kale ndipo tinadzipeza tokha m'maboma ambiri a ku Russia. Tinachita zojambula, masamuziyamu, makedwe, maulendo oyendetsa ngalawa pa Neva, ndi zina zotero, koma tinayendera malo opanda pogona ndi maofesi a magulu a ufulu wa anthu ndikupita ku msonkhano wa Quaker. Panthawi ina ife tinapemphedwa kukalankhula ndi ophunzira mu sukulu ya chilankhulo pamalo ovomerezeka, koma ambiri omwe tinakumana nawo anali aang'ono komanso aumwini ndipo tinamvetsera kwambiri kuposa kulankhula.
Sindikutsimikiza kuti mawu oti "Zokambirana za Citizen" atha kugwiritsidwa ntchito molondola pazomwe tidachita komanso zomwe tidakumana nazo ku Russia. Zachidziwikire kuti tonse anayi, ine wochokera ku Iowa, Erica Brock waku New York, David Smith-Ferri waku California ndi Susan Clarkson waku England, timayembekeza kuti tikakumana ndi nzika zaku Russia tithandizire kulimbikitsa ubale wabwino pakati pa mayiko athu. Kumbali inayi, monga momwe liwu likusonyezera kuti timachita mosavomerezeka kuti titeteze kapena kufotokozera zomwe maboma athu akuchita, zokonda zawo ndi mfundo zake, sitinali akazembe. Sitinapite ku Russia ndi cholinga chofuna kuyika nkhope ya munthu kapena njira iliyonse yolozera malingaliro amayiko athu ku Russia. Pali lingaliro, komabe, kuti zoyesayesa zowona zokambirana zomwe zikuchitika pakati pa mayiko aku US ndi NATO pakadali pano ndi nzika zofananira ndi gulu lathu laling'ono. Zomwe US State department imadzitcha "zokambirana" kwenikweni ndi nkhanza ndi dzina lina ndipo ndizokayikitsa ngati US ikhoza kuchita zokambirana zenizeni pomwe ikuzungulira Russia ndi magulu ankhondo ndi "zida zankhondo" ndikupanga zida zankhondo zazikulu pafupi ndi malire ake.
Ndikudziwa kufunika kokhala wodzichepetsa komanso kuti ndisamapeputse kapena kuti ndidziwe luso lililonse. Ulendo wathu unali wosachepera masabata awiri ndipo tinawona pang'ono za dziko lalikulu. Omwe anatisamalira adatikumbutsa kuti miyoyo ndi malingaliro a anthu a ku Russia kunja kwa mizinda ikuluikulu yawo zingakhale zosiyana ndi zawo. Komabe, pali chidziwitso chochepa cha zomwe zikuchitika ku Russia masiku ano zomwe tikufunikira kuti tizinena zazing'ono zomwe tikuyenera kupereka.
Pamene tinamva maganizo osiyanasiyana pazovuta zambiri, zikuoneka kuti pali mgwirizano pakati pa omwe tinakumana nawo za kuthekera kwa nkhondo pakati pa Russia ndi US / NATO. Nkhondo imene ambiri azale ndi ma pundits athu amawona momveka bwino pofika poti sizingatheke, sizingatheke, ndizosatheka, kwa anthu a Chirasha omwe tinalankhula nawo. Palibe aliyense akuganiza kuti atsogoleri a mayiko athu adzakhala openga kwambiri kuti alole mikangano pakati pawo kutibweretsa ku nkhondo ya nyukiliya.
Ku United States, Atsogoleri a Bush Bush ndi Obama nthawi zambiri amatchulidwa kuti "akulimbana ndi nkhondo kumeneko ndipo sitiyenera kulimbana nawo pano." Ku St. Petersburg tinapita ku Piskaya Memorial Park, komwe zikwi mazana ambiri anthu amene anazunzidwa ndi Germany ku Leningrad anaikidwa m'manda achimake. Mu Nkhondo Yachiŵiri Yadziko lonse, anthu oposa 22 miliyoni a ku Russia anaphedwa, ambiri mwa anthuwa. Anthu a ku Russia, oposa Amereka, amadziwa kuti nkhondo yadziko lonse idzapanda nkhondo.
Ophunzira a ku Russia anaseka chifukwa cha nthabwala, "Ngati a Russia sakuyesera kuyambitsa nkhondo, n'chifukwa chiyani anaika dziko lawo pakati pa maboma onse a US?" Koma ndinawauza mwachidwi kuti chifukwa cha mtundu wathu, Achimereka sakanatha kuseketsa mmenemo. M'malo mwake, muyezo wachiwiri umatengedwa kuti ndi wabwino. Dziko la Russia likamayendetsa usilikali ndi a US ndi mabungwe ake a NATO pamalire ake poonjezera kukonzekera kwawo kutetezeka m'malire ake, izi zimawonedwa ngati chizindikiro choopsa cha nkhanza. Mwachitsanzo, m'nyengo yozizira ku Poland, asilikali zikwi zambiri a ku United States adagwira nawo ntchito yomenyera nkhondo ku NATO, "Operation Anakonda" (ngakhale mawu olembedwa ndi "k", anaconda ndi njoka yomwe imapha munthu amene amamuvutitsa ndikumufera). Russia adayankha mwa kuwonjezera asilikali ake mkati mwa Russia, yankholo lidawopsyeza. Pomwe boma la Russia likufuna kuti boma lizidziletsa, dzikoli likukonzekera kuti dziko lonse la Russia likonzekere nkhondo yoyamba ya padziko lonse. Komabe, kuyendetsa mabomba a nyukliya ku Nevada, sikukuwonedwa kumadzulo "ngati chisonyezero cha mphamvu kapena chinachake choipa kwambiri," koma ngati chiwonetsero cha "kudzipereka kuti zombo zonse zikhale zotetezeka, zotetezeka, komanso ogwira mtima. "
Kukulitsa moyo wathu wa dziko lapansi kuyenera kukhala cholinga cha chilengedwe chonse. Kuyankhula, musalole kutsanulira chuma cha fuko kukhala pulogalamu ya "mapulogalamu owonjezera a zida za zida zankhondo" sizowonongeka chabe. Chidaliro cha abwenzi athu a ku Russia chifukwa cha kusagwirizana kwathu pamodzi ndi kukhazikika kwa utsogoleri wathu, makamaka pakutha kwa chisankho chatsopano, ndizovuta kwambiri. Ndikuyamikira anzanga atsopano chifukwa cha chikondi ndi mowolowa manja kwawo ndipo ndikuyembekeza kudzayendera Russia posakhalitsa. Ndizofunika komanso zokhutiritsa monga momwe "zokambirana zadzikoli" ziliri, komabe, tiyenera kulemekeza mabwenzi awa mwa kukana mwamphamvu kudzikuza ndi zozizwitsa zomwe zingapangitse US ku nkhondo yomwe ingatiwononge ife tonse.
