Nkhondo Ndi Tsoka, Osati Masewera

Wolemba Pete Shimazaki Doktor ndi Ann Wright, Honolulu Civil Kumenya, September 6, 2020

Monga mamembala a Ankhondo a Mtendere, bungwe la asitikali ankhondo aku US komanso othandizira omwe amalimbikitsa mtendere, sitingatsutse zambiri ndi nkhani ya Aug. 14 Civil Beat. “Chifukwa Chake Asilikali Ayenera Kusewera Masewero Amodzi” ndi wogwira ntchito ku Dipatimenti ya Chitetezo ku Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies ndi DoD RAND kontrakitala.

Masewera ndi osangalatsa pomwe otsutsa ongoyerekeza amachita zomwe angathe kuti apambana wina ndi mnzake kuti apambane popanda kutaya moyo.

Nkhondo kumbali ina ndi tsoka lopangidwa ndi kulephera kwa utsogoleri kuthetsa mikangano mwachidwi, ndipo nthawi zambiri kumabweretsa zoipitsitsa mwa otsutsa mwa cholinga chowonongana; sichimapereka opambana.

Olemba nkhaniyi amagwiritsa ntchito chitsanzo cha atsogoleri ankhondo ochokera kumayiko osiyanasiyana omwe amagwirizana pazovuta zapadziko lonse lapansi, zomwe zimawonedwa ngati zopindulitsa zokonzekera zovuta zamtsogolo.

Komabe, ndizochitika zomwe zidachitika kwa asitikali ndi anthu wamba m'nkhondo zakale komanso zamasiku ano kuti nkhondoyo ndi imodzi mwazowopseza kwambiri pamoyo wamunthu, ndi ena. anthu miliyoni 160 akuti anaphedwa pankhondo m'zaka zonse za 20th Century. Ndi kukwera kwa matekinoloje ankhondo, anthu wamba apanga zambiri ambiri ovulala m’nkhondo zankhondo kuyambira pa Nkhondo Yadziko II.

N'zovuta kunena kuti nkhondo ndi yotetezera anthu pamene nkhondo zamakono zimakhala zodziwika chifukwa cha kuphana mwachisawawa, ngakhale kuti nthawi zambiri zimasefedwa kudzera muzofalitsa zamalonda ndikutchulidwa molakwika ndi akuluakulu a boma ndi ankhondo monga "kuwononga ndalama."

Mtsutso umodzi mu "Chifukwa Chake Asilikali Ayenera Kusewera Masewera" ndi njira yopulumutsira miyoyo kudzera mu mgwirizano wapadziko lonse pakagwa masoka achilengedwe. Kawonedwe kachifupi kameneka kamayang'ana nkhondo yatsoka ndi iyo yokha, ndi chiwerengero cha miyoyo yomwe inatayika kupyolera mu ntchito yaikulu ya asilikali, osatchula zotsatira zosayembekezereka za ndalama zapadziko lonse zankhondo zapadziko lonse za $ 1.822 biliyoni zomwe zimasintha chuma kuchoka ku zosowa za anthu.

Izi zimakwiyitsa mfundo yakuti pamene pali malo ankhondo, pali zoopseza ku chitetezo cha anthu ndi thanzih chifukwa cha kubwezera ndi kuopsa kwa chilengedwe komwe kumafikira kufalitsa miliri monga chimfine cha 1918 ndi COVID-19.

Zotsatira Zabwino Kwambiri?

Lingaliro lina mu Civil Beat op-ed ndiloti mgwirizano wa US ndi mayiko ena umapereka zotsatira zabwino, pogwiritsa ntchito maphunziro a US ndi masewera olimbitsa thupi ku Philippines ndi Hawaii National Guard monga chitsanzo. Komabe, olembawo adalephera kuvomereza yemwe kwenikweni asitikali aku US adathandizira: wamkulu wapano waku Philippines wakhala. otsutsidwa padziko lonse lapansi chifukwa chophwanya ufulu wachibadwidwe wa anthu, mwina ndi thandizo la maphunziro ndi thandizo lankhondo la US.

Olemba a "Militaries Should Play Games" amanena kuti pamene US igwirizanitsa ndi mayiko ena - kutchula zochitika zankhondo za RIMPAC za biennial mpaka mayiko 25
Hawaii - ndiyenera kukumbukira kuti zochitika zazikulu, zamayiko osiyanasiyana zimalumikizana ndi mphamvu zapadziko lonse lapansi, koma pali mayiko ena 170 omwe sanayitanidwe kutenga nawo gawo. Ngati US ikanayika kachigawo kakang'ono ka mphamvu ndi chuma chake mu zokambirana zomwe imachita pokonzekera nkhondo, mwina sizingafune kuwongolera kuwonongeka kwankhondo chifukwa cha ndale poyambirira?

Pali zomveka kuti mgwirizano wapadziko lonse ukufunika - koma ntchito ya usilikali mwa mapangidwe si kugwirizana koma kuwononga ndale zitawonongeka kapena kulephera, monga kugwiritsa ntchito nkhwangwa pa opaleshoni. Zitsanzo zochepa chabe za mikangano yomwe yakhala ikuchitika - Afghanistan, Syria ndi Koreas - ndi zitsanzo za momwe magulu ankhondo samathetsa mikangano yandale, ndipo ngati chirichonse chikuwonjezera mikangano ya m'madera, kusokoneza chuma ndi kusokoneza maganizo kumbali zonse.

Kodi mkangano wa mgwirizano wapadziko lonse lapansi kudzera mu maphunziro a usilikali ogwirizana ungapangidwe bwanji ndi cholinga chochita zopatulika? Pohakula pakuwala kwa anatsutsa ulamuliro pakati pa Ufumu wa Hawaii wolandidwa ndi ufumu wa US?

Kodi munthu angawpsyeze bwanji kapena kuwononga zinthu zachilengedwe zofunika kwambiri za anthu n’kunena kuti akuteteza moyo wa dziko?

Ganizirani kuti asitikali aku US akuwopseza madzi oyambira ku Hawaii ndi Uwu zisumbu, komabe Asitikali ankhondo aku US ali ndi vuto logulitsa izi ngati "chitetezo."

Posachedwapa American wapadera adayikidwa pa anthu aku Hawaii pomwe okhala pachilumbachi ndi alendo adalamulidwa chifukwa cha COVID-19 kuti azikhala kwaokha kwa masiku 14 - kupatula mamembala ankhondo ndi omwe akuwadalira. Milandu ya COVID-19 itachuluka, odalira usilikali amayenera kutsatira malamulo oti akhale kwaokha, koma asitikali aku US akupitilizabe kutsatira miyezo ina kuposa anthu onse ngakhale kachilomboka kamanyalanyaza mwatsatanetsatane kusiyanitsa pakati pa moyo wankhondo ndi wamba.

Ndi pafupi ndi zida zankhondo za 800 padziko lonse lapansi, US ilibe mwayi wokhazikitsa mtendere. M'nyumba, apolisi aku US awonetsa nkhanza komanso kusweka. Momwemonso, kaimidwe ka US ngati "wapolisi wapadziko lonse" watsimikiziranso mtengo, wosawerengeka komanso wosathandiza pamtendere wapadziko lonse lapansi.

Olemba a "Chifukwa Chake Asitikali Ayenera Kusewera Masewera" amathandizira masewera olimbitsa thupi a RIMPAC mophiphiritsa ngati "mapewa ndi phewa, koma 6 mapazi motalikirana." Ndizopanda nzeru kunyalanyaza mamiliyoni omwe "akwiriridwa pansi pa mapazi a 6," kunena kwake, monga zotsatira zachindunji ndi zosalunjika za nkhondo, chikhulupiriro cha ukulu wa asilikali kuthetsa mavuto a anthu ndi zachuma.

Limbikitsani zankhondo ndikuyika ndalama kwa okhazikitsa mtendere ngati kuthetsa kusamvana kulidi cholinga. Lekani kuwononga ndalama pa “masewera”.

Veterans for Peace posachedwapa adavotera zigamulo zake makamaka Malingaliro a kampani RIMPAC ndi Matanki a Mafuta a Red Hill Naval pa Msonkhano wawo Wapachaka wa 2020.
