Le pele e le Susuga a le Peresitene,
Na matou fiafia e aʻoaʻo au fuafuaga e avea ma peresetene muamua o le Iunaite Setete e asiasi i Hiroshima i lenei vaiaso, ina ua maeʻa le summit a le G-7 i le Iunaite Setete. O le toatele oi matou ua matou i Hiroshima ma Nagasaki ma maua ai o se aafiaga loloto, suiga i le olaga, e pei ona faia e le Failautusi a le Malo John Kerry i lana asiasiga talu ai nei.
Aemaise lava, fono ma faʻalogo i tala patino a tagata A-pomu na sao, Hiva, ua faia ai se aafiaga tulaga ese i la tatou galuega mo le filemu ma le faʻaleagaina o le lalolagi. Aoaoina o mafatiaga o le Hibaka, ae o lo latou poto, o latou lagona ofoofogia o le soifuaga faaletagata, ma le tutumau mausali o le faaleaogaina faaniukilia ina ia le mafai ona toe tupu se mea mataga i isi tagata soifua, o se meaalofa taua lea e le mafai ona fesoasoani ae faamalosia ai le faaiuga a se tasi e lafoai le auupega matautia.
O lau 2009 Prague lauga mo se lalolagi e aunoa ma ni auupega faaniukilia ua musuia ai le faamoemoe i le salafa o le lalolagi, ma o le feagaiga fou a le ATUA ma Rusia, o le maliega faakomepiuta iloga ma Iran ma le puipuiga ma le faaitiitia o oloa o auupega faanatura-togi i le lalolagi atoa o ni taunuuga taua.
Ae, e sili atu nai lo le 15,000 auupega o le eletise (93% o loʻo faia e le US ma Rusia) o loo lamatia pea tagata uma o le paneta, e tele isi mea e tatau ona faia. Matou te talitonu e mafai lava ona e ofoina atu se taʻutaʻua taua i lou taimi totoe i le tofi e te agai atili atu ai i le lalolagi e aunoa ma ni auupega faaniukilia.
I lenei malamalama, matou te faʻamalosi malosi atu ia te oe e faʻaaloalo i lau folafolaga i Paraka e galue ai mo se auupega faʻanatinati-saoloto e ala i:
- Fonotaga ma mea uma Hibaka oe mafai ona auai;
- Faʻailoaina le faaiuga o le US fuafuaga e faʻaalu le $ 1 tului mo le faʻafouga fou o auupega faaniukilia ma a latou faiga e tuʻuina atu ai;
- Faʻafouina le faʻataunuʻuina o fesoʻotaʻiga faʻauluipuia e alu i tua atu o le New START e ala i le faasilasilaina o le faʻaitiitia o le faʻaaogaina o le auupega a le US i 1,000 auupega faʻauupega pe itiiti;
- O le valaau atu i Rusia e auai ma le Iunaite Setete i le taloina o le "feutagaʻi lelei ma le lelei" e manaʻomia e le Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty mo le faʻamaeʻaina atoatoa o auupega faaniukilia a le lalolagi;
- Faʻamanatuga lou musu e faatoese pe talanoaina le talafaasolopito o loo siomia ai le A-bombings, e oo lava ia Peresitene Eisenhower, Generals MacArthur, King, Arnold, ma LeMay ma Admirals Leahy ma Nimitz na taua e le tatau ona faamuta le taua.
