"Talankhulana mwachindunji, mwachinsinsi komanso pamlingo wapamwamba kwambiri ku Kremlin kuti kugwiritsa ntchito zida za nyukiliya kudzakhala ndi zotsatira zoopsa ku Russia, kuti US ndi ogwirizana athu ayankha motsimikiza, ndipo takhala tikulankhula momveka bwino komanso momveka bwino za zomwe zidzatero.”

Pano ife tirinso, mwinamwake pafupi ndi nkhondo ya nyukiliya yomwe ingatheke yomwe aliyense adzataya ndipo palibe amene adzapambane monga momwe tinalili panthawi ya Cuban Missile Crisis ndendende zaka 60 zapitazo. Ndipo komabe mayiko, kuphatikizapo olamulira ankhanza ndi olamulira a demokalase, sanazindikire za chiopsezo chosavomerezeka cha zida za nyukiliya.
Pakati pa nthawiyo mpaka pano, ndinadzipereka kwa zaka zambiri ndi gulu lopanda phindu lotchedwa Beyond War. Ntchito yathu inali yophunzitsa: kukulitsa chidziwitso chapadziko lonse lapansi kuti zida za atomiki zidapangitsa kuti nkhondo yonse ikhale yosatha ngati njira yothetsera mikangano yapadziko lonse lapansi - chifukwa nkhondo yanthawi zonse ikhoza kuyambitsa zida zanyukiliya. Maphunziro otere akubwerezedwa ndikukulitsidwa ndi mamiliyoni a mabungwe padziko lonse lapansi omwe afika paziganizo zofananira, kuphatikiza zazikulu ngati International Campaign Yothetsa Zida za Nyukiliya, wopambana Mphotho ya Nobel Peace.
Koma zoyesayesa zonsezi ndi mabungwe sizinali zokwanira kusuntha anthu apadziko lonse lapansi kuti achitepo kanthu pachowonadi chakuti nkhondo yatha, ndipo chifukwa chake, osamvetsetsa zachangu komanso osayesa mokwanira, "banja" lamitundu lili pachiwopsezo. zikhumbo zonse ziwiri za wolamulira wankhanza wodzikonda yekha—ndi dongosolo lapadziko lonse la zolingalira zankhondo zankhondo zokakamira pa zopusa.
Monga Senator wolingalira komanso wanzeru waku US adandilembera:
“. . . M'dziko labwino, sipadzakhala chifukwa cha zida za nyukiliya, ndipo ndikuthandizira zoyesayesa za US, pamodzi ndi abwenzi athu apadziko lonse, kuchepetsa kuchuluka kwa nyukiliya ndikulimbikitsa bata padziko lonse lapansi. Komabe, malinga ngati zida za nyukiliya zilipo, kugwiritsa ntchito zidazi sikungathetsedwe, ndipo kukonza chitetezo chotetezeka, chotetezeka, komanso chodalirika cha nyukiliya ndi inshuwalansi yathu yabwino kwambiri yolimbana ndi tsoka la nyukiliya. . .
"Ndikukhulupiriranso kuti kusungitsa kusamveka bwino mu mfundo yathu yogwiritsira ntchito zida za nyukiliya ndichinthu chofunikira kwambiri cholepheretsa. Mwachitsanzo, ngati mdani yemwe angakhalepo akukhulupirira kuti akumvetsetsa bwino momwe tingagwiritsire ntchito zida za nyukiliya, atha kukhala olimba mtima kuti achite ziwopsezo zowopsa zomwe akuwona kuti ndizoyambitsa kuyambitsa kuyankha kwa nyukiliya ku US. Poganizira izi, ndikukhulupirira kuti mfundo ya No First Use sizothandiza kwambiri ku United States. M'malo mwake, ndikukhulupirira kuti zitha kukhala ndi zotsatirapo zoyipa pakuchulukira kwa zida za nyukiliya, monga ogwirizana athu omwe amadalira ambulera ya nyukiliya ya US - makamaka South Korea ndi Japan - angafune kupanga zida za nyukiliya ngati sakhulupirira nyukiliya yaku US. cholepheretsa chingathe ndipo chidzawateteza ku chiwonongeko. Ngati dziko la US silingathe kulepheretsa ogwirizana nawo, tikuyang'anizana ndi kuthekera kwakukulu kwa dziko lokhala ndi zida zambiri za nyukiliya. "
Izi zitha kunenedwa kuti zikuyimira malingaliro okhazikitsidwa ku Washington komanso padziko lonse lapansi. Vuto ndiloti malingaliro a Senator samatsogolera kwina kulikonse kuposa zida, ngati kuti tatsekeredwa kosatha m'dambo loletsa kuletsa. Palibe chidziwitso chodziwikiratu kuti, popeza dziko litha chifukwa cha kusamvetsetsana kumodzi kapena kusokonekera, gawo laling'ono la mphamvu zathu zakulenga ndi zida zazikulu zitha kugwiritsidwa ntchito poganizira njira zina.
Senator angatsutsane ndi malingaliro ake kuti kuwopseza kwa Putin kumapangitsa iyi kukhala nthawi yolakwika kuti alankhule za kuthetsa zida za nyukiliya - monga andale omwe angawerengedwe pambuyo pa kuwombera kwina kwina kunena kuti si nthawi yolankhula za chitetezo chamfuti. kusintha.
Zomwe zikuchitika ndi Putin ndi Ukraine ndizabwino kwambiri ndipo zitha kuwerengedwa kuti zitha kubwereza mosiyanasiyana (cf. Taiwan) palibe kusintha kofunikira. Vutoli ndi la maphunziro. Popanda kudziwa bwino kuti zida za nyukiliya sizimathetsa chilichonse ndipo sizibweretsa zabwino, ubongo wathu wabuluzi umatembenukira mobwerezabwereza kuletsa, zomwe zimamveka ngati mawu otukuka, koma kwenikweni tikuwopsezana wina ndi mnzake: "Patsogolo pake ndidzatsika. pa inu ndi zotulukapo zowopsa! Tili ngati munthu amene wanyamula bomba akuwopseza kuti “atiphulitsa tonse” ngati sachita zimene akufuna.
Pakangotha dziko lapansi likuwona kupanda pake kwa njira iyi yopezera chitetezo (monga momwe mayiko 91 adachitira, chifukwa cha khama la ICAN, adasaina mgwirizanowu. Mgwirizano wa United Nations pa Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons), titha kuyamba kuyika pachiwopsezo zaluso zomwe zimapezeka mopitilira kuletsa. Titha kuyang'ana mwayi womwe tili nawo woti tipange ziwonetsero zomwe zimavomereza kuti zida zankhondo ndizopanda pake popanda kusokoneza "chitetezo" chathu ("chitetezo" chomwe chasokonezedwa kale ndi dongosolo loletsa zida za nyukiliya palokha!).
Mwachitsanzo, US ikhoza kuyimitsa zida zake zonse zogwiritsa ntchito pamtunda, monga mlembi wakale wa chitetezo a William Perry adanena, popanda kutaya mphamvu iliyonse yolepheretsa. Ngakhale a Putin sanawopsezedwe m'mbuyomu ndipo amangogwiritsa ntchito nkhawa zake za NATO kuti afotokozere "ntchito" yake, akuwopsezedwa tsopano. Mwina ndi chidwi cha dziko lapansi kumupangitsa kuti asamawopsezedwe kwambiri, ngati njira imodzi yopewera Ukraine ku mantha omaliza kukhala maliseche.
Ndipo nthawi yatha yoti tiitanitse msonkhano wapadziko lonse kumene oimira mayiko omwe ali ndi mphamvu zanyukiliya akulimbikitsidwa kunena mokweza kuti dongosololi silikugwira ntchito ndipo limangotsogolera mbali imodzi yoipa-ndiyeno nkuyamba kufotokoza ndondomeko ya njira ina. Putin amadziwa komanso aliyense kuti ali mumsampha womwewo ndi wamkulu wa United States ku Vietnam yemwe adatero, "Zinali zoyenera kuwononga tawuniyi kuti ipulumutse."
