Ndi David Swanson, World BEYOND War, October 6, 2022
(Dziwani: Ndidatumiza pamodzi ndi anthu ena angapo cholemba ichi ku Washington Post, kupempha msonkhano ndi gulu lawo la akonzi ndikudzudzula malipoti awo oyipa pa Ukraine. Iwo anakana kukumana ndipo anatiuza kuti titumize op-ed. Ndimawatumizira op-ed ndipo adadandaula kuti ndawafotokozera chisankho ichi zomwe adazichotsa ngati "bungwe lolimbikitsa". Ndinatumizanso (monga m'munsimu) popanda kutchula zafukufuku, kapena kuyesa kufotokoza kufunika kwake, ndipo adakanabe. Ndimalimbikitsa ena kuyesa, ndi kutumiza World BEYOND War kufalitsa zomwe WaPo ikukana - tiwonjezera baji yaulemu ya "Washington Post Rejected" pamwamba.)
Choyipa ndi chiyani kuposa kuyika pachiwopsezo cha kutha kwa moyo pa Dziko Lapansi kudzera munkhondo yanyukiliya komanso kukhazikitsidwa kwa dzinja la nyukiliya? Chofunika kwambiri ndi chiyani kuposa kuteteza dziko lapansi kugwa kwanyengo pakupita patsogolo komwe kungakhale nyukiliya ya nyukiliya?
Kodi mukufuna ndinene kuti “kulimba mtima” kapena “ubwino” kapena “ufulu”? Kapena "kuyimirira kwa Putin"? sindichita. Yankho lodziwikiratu ndilolondola: palibe. Palibe chofunika kwambiri kuposa kusunga moyo. Akufa ali ndi ufulu wochepa kwambiri ndipo safuna kuyimilira Putin.
Ngati mukufuna kuti zigawenga zankhondo ziziyankha mlandu, funsani boma la US kuti lithandizire Khothi Lalikulu Lapadziko Lonse komanso lamulo lamilandu kwa onse, kuphatikiza aku America, ndendende monga woimira wamkulu wa US Justice Robert Jackson adalonjeza ku Nuremberg. Koma musaike Armagedo pachiswe.
Ngati ndili ndi mwayi wodzipeza ndekha m'zibwibwi ndi mdima wadziko lapansi lokhala ndi mphemvu, lingaliro lakuti "Chabwino, tidayimirira kwa Putin," silingayende bwino muzolemba zanga zamkati. Idzatsatiridwa nthawi yomweyo ndi malingaliro: "Ndani adaganiza zopanga kamphindi kakang'ono kameneka kukhala kamphamvu kwambiri? Payenera kukhala zaka zikwi zambiri za moyo ndi chikondi ndi chisangalalo ndi kukongola. Ayenera kukhala mawu am'munsi m'malemba osadziwika bwino a mbiri yakale. "
Koma kodi mungafunse kuti, kodi njira ina yoika pachiswe nkhondo yanyukiliya ndi iti? Kugona pansi ndi kupatsa magulu ankhondo omwe akufuna? Ngakhale izi zikanakhaladi, inde, kukhala njira yabwino, pali zabwinoko zomwe zilipo ndipo zakhala zikuchitika.
Njira imodzi ingakhale kutsata zosiya kumenyana, kukambirana, ndi kuchotsa zida, ngakhale zitatanthauza kuti zigwirizane ndi Russia. Kumbukirani kuti kunyengerera ndi njira ziwiri; Izi zidzakhudzanso Russia kupanga mgwirizano ndi Ukraine.
Ndi mayiko ambiri akuthandizira kuyimitsa moto ndi zokambirana kwa miyezi ingapo tsopano, komanso m'mawu aposachedwa ku United Nations, kodi boma la US siliyenera kulingalira lingaliroli?
Ngakhale ngati kuchirikiza kuleka kumenyana ndi kukambitsirana sikuli malingaliro ambiri ku United States, kodi sikuyenera kuganiziridwa m’mabwalo a anthu amene amati akuchirikiza ziwawa zaunyinji pofuna kuteteza demokalase?
Atsogoleri aku Ukraine ndi Russia alengeza kuti sadzakambirana za tsogolo la madera aliwonse. Komabe mbali zonse ziwiri zikukonzekera nkhondo zazitali, kapena zosatha. Pamene nkhondo ikupitirira, m’pamenenso ngozi yogwiritsira ntchito zida za nyukiliya imakulirakulira.
Mbali zonse ziwiri zakhala zokonzeka kukambirana ndipo zikhoza kukhala kachiwiri. Mbali zonse ziwiri zakambirana bwino pa malonda a kunja kwa tirigu ndi kusinthanitsa akaidi - ndi thandizo lakunja, koma thandizo limenelo lingaperekedwenso, mophweka monga momwe zingakhalire zida zambiri.
Pamene tikuyandikira chaka cha 60 cha Vuto la Missile la Cuba, pali mafunso ambiri. N’chifukwa chiyani tinalolera kuti lifike pafupi chonchi? N’chifukwa chiyani pambuyo pake tinaganiza kuti ngoziyo yatha? Chifukwa chiyani Vasily Arkhipov sakulemekezedwa pamtundu wina wandalama waku US? Koma komanso izi: chifukwa chiyani Purezidenti Kennedy adayenera kukhala mobisa potulutsa zida za US ku Turkey pomwe akufuna kuti a Soviet atulutse ku Cuba?
Kodi tikupepesa kuti anachita zimenezo? Kodi tikadapanda kukhala ndi zaka 60 zapitazi, kuti Kennedy atakana kupereka inchi ku Khrushchev? Ndi anthu angati aku America omwe anganene kuti mayina awiri oyamba a Khrushchev anali kapena momwe ntchito yake ikuwonekera? Kodi tonsefe tikanafa kapena sitinabadwe kuti tilimbane ndi munthu ameneyo? Kodi timaganiza kuti kusankha kusunga moyo pa Dziko Lapansi ndikuyimirira kwa akuluakulu ake ndi akuluakulu aboma kunapangitsa Kennedy kukhala wamantha?
