"Pazaka zingapo zapitazi, chifukwa cha nkhondo zomwe zakhala zikuchitika komanso mgwirizano wapadziko lonse womwe udasinthiratu, boma la US likugwirizana bwino ndi tanthauzo lake la dziko loipa." - Arundhati Roy
Muli ndi gulu lankhondo lalikulu kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi, muzigwiritsa ntchito, sichoncho? Donald Trump ndi gulu lake, motsogozedwa ndi National Insecurity Advisor John Bolton, akusewera nkhanza pakali pano ndi mayiko awiri omwe sali pansi pa ulamuliro wa US, Iran ndi Venezuela.
Kwa iwo omwe akudziwa kale kuti nkhondo si gehena yokha komanso yopanda phindu, funso losavuta lomwe likupezeka pazochitika zatsopano zakupha anthu ambiri limaposa funso lodziwikiratu: Kodi angaimitsidwe bwanji? Funso lalikulu limayamba ndi mawu oti "chifukwa chiyani" ndiyeno limasweka kukhala zidutswa chikwi.
Chifukwa chiyani nkhondo ili yoyamba - ndipo ikuwoneka kuti ndiyo yokha - imayambitsa mikangano yambiri yamayiko? Chifukwa chiyani bajeti yathu yankhondo yapachaka ya thililiyoni ndi yopatulika? N’cifukwa ciani sitiphunzila m’mbili kuti nkhondo n’zozikidwa pa mabodza? Chifukwa chiyani ma TV amakampani nthawi zonse amalowa munkhondo "yotsatira" (chilichonse chomwe chili) ndi chidwi chotere, osakayikira pang'ono? N’chifukwa chiyani kukonda dziko lako kumafuna kukhulupirira mdani? Chifukwa chiyani? we mudakali ndi zida zanyukiliya? Chifukwa chiyani (monga mtolankhani Colman McCarthy adafunsapo) ndife achiwawa koma osaphunzira?
Tiyeni tiwone Iran yoyipa, yoyipa. Monga CNN posachedwapa:
"National Security Advisor John Bolton adanena m'mawu olembedwa Lamlungu kuti US sikufuna nkhondo ndi Iran, koma ikutumiza gulu la USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group komanso gulu loponya mabomba ku US Central Command ku Middle East ". kutumiza uthenga womveka bwino komanso wosakayikitsa ku boma la Iran wakuti kuukira kulikonse kwa United States kapena kwa mayiko ogwirizana nawo kudzachitika mwamphamvu kwambiri.’”
Ndipo Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, poyankha nkhaniyi mosasamala komanso mosaganizira, adauza atolankhani, malinga ndi CNN, "Zomwe takhala tikuyesera kuchita ndikupangitsa Iran kukhala ngati dziko labwinobwino."
Kodi “mtundu wamba” ukanatani ndi ziwopsezo zosatha ndi zilango? Posakhalitsa izo zikanabwereranso. Nduna ya Zakunja ku Iran Javad Zarif, polankhula posachedwapa ku New York, adalongosola motere: "Chiwembu ndikukakamiza Iran kuti ichitepo kanthu. Kenako mugwiritse ntchito. ”
Gwiritsani ntchito, mwa kuyankhula kwina, ngati chowiringula chopita kunkhondo.
Ndipo kupita kunkhondo ndi masewera andale, chisankho chopangidwa kapena chosapangidwa ndi anthu ochepa ofunika - Bolton, Pompeo, Trump - pamene anthu ambiri amayang'ana mothandizira kapena kukwiya, koma mwanjira iliyonse monga owonera. Chochitika ichi chimadzutsa funso lalikulu, losafunsidwa "chifukwa chiyani?" Chifukwa chiyani nkhondo ili chitsogozo chapamwamba m'malo mokhala chigamulo chapagulu? Koma ndikuganiza kuti yankho la funsoli ndi lodziwikiratu: Sitingathe kupita kunkhondo yomwe sinakonzedwe ndi kagulu kakang'ono ka anthu amphamvu. Anthu onse ayenera kuchita ndi . . . kwambiri, palibe.
Elham Portaher, munthu wina wa ku Iran amene amapita kusukulu ku New York, ananena kuti: “Mabungwe a boma ku United States afunika kuphatikizirapo malingaliro ambiri padziko lonse pankhani ya malamulo oyendetsera dzikolo. Nzika zaku US zikuyenera kudziwa kuti mavoti awo ali ndi zotsatira zoyipa kupitilira malire a dziko lawo. . . . (Awo) Mfundo zachilendo za osankhidwa awo ndi nkhani ya moyo ndi imfa kwa nzika za mayiko ena, makamaka ku Middle East. "
Ananenanso kuti “nkhondo yayamba kale. Zilango zaku US zikubweretsa zovuta zofananira ndi nthawi yankhondo. Zolangidwa kwenikweni ndi nkhondo yomenyedwa ndi United States motsutsana ndi anthu aku Iran ogwira ntchito komanso apakatikati. Maguluwa akuvutika kuti apeze zofunika pamoyo pamene ulova ukuwonjezeka kwambiri ngakhale pamene mitengo ya inflation ikukwera. Anthu omwewo omwe oyang'anira a Trump akunamizira kuti akufuna kumasula ndi omwe akukhudzidwa kwambiri ndi mfundo zaposachedwa za US ku Middle East. "
Ndipo, eya, omwe amalandira mphamvu kuchokera kumasewera ankhondo aku US ndi "magulu opanda demokalase mdziko la Iran." Umu ndi momwe zimagwirira ntchito nthawi zonse. Ukali waudani umabala zaukali. Nkhondo yolimbana ndi zoopsa imabala mantha. N’chifukwa chiyani sitikudziwabe zimenezi?
Osachepera, zokwiyitsa, kuphatikizapo mfundo yakuti Trump akuganiza zotumiza asilikali kuderali, "zapanga zochitika zomwe aliyense tsopano ali ndi nkhawa kuti mtundu wina wa nkhondo yangozi pang'ono ndi yotheka chifukwa inunso muli nawo. Asitikali ambiri aku US ndi asitikali aku Irani kukhala malo ang'onoang'ono," Trita Parsi, woyambitsa bungwe la National Iranian American Council, anatero poyankhulana posachedwapa.
Gulu la anthu limalinganizidwa m’njira yakuti nkhondo, mwadala kapena mwangozi, ikhale yosapeŵeka nthaŵi zonse. Ndipo pokonzekera nkhondozi, mafunso ang'onoang'ono okha amafunsidwa ndi atolankhani, akuzungulira mozungulira: Kodi uyu ndi wolungama? Ayi, “Kodi izi ndi zanzeru? Kodi iyi ndiye chisankho chabwino kwambiri?" Ngati adani achita chinthu chodetsa nkhawa - North Vietnam ikuukira sitima ya ku United States ku Tonkin Gulf, Iraq ikugula machubu a aluminiyamu - ndiye "tilibe chochita" koma kubwezera pamlingo waukulu.
Mafunso akulu amangobwera pambuyo pake, monga kulira kwa mayi waku Syria pambuyo pa kugunda kwa ndege ku Raqqa. Amnesty International lipoti:
“Ndinaona mwana wanga akufa, atatenthedwa ndi zinyalala pamaso panga. Ndataya aliyense amene amandikonda. Ana anga anayi, mwamuna wanga, amayi anga, mlongo wanga, banja langa lonse. Kodi cholinga chake sichinali kumasula anthu wamba? Anayenera kutipulumutsa, kupulumutsa ana athu.”
