Maita basa nekundidaidza kuti titaure pano. Ndinotenda uye ndinokudzwa, asi harisi basa riri nyore. Ndakataura paterevhizheni uye nemhomho huru uye kune zvakakosha pfuti, asi pano muri kundikumbira kuti nditaure nemazana ezviuru zvezvipoko nemabhiriyoni ezvipoko zvakamirira. Kuti tifunge nezveiyi nhau nokuchenjera tinofanira kurangarira vose zvavo, pamwe chete naavo vakaedza kudzivisa Hiroshima neNagasaki, avo vakapukunyuka, avo vakashuma, avo vakazvimanikidzira vamene kurangarira kazhinji kazhinji kuti vadzidzise vamwe.

Zvichida zvakatonyanya kuoma kufunga nezveavo vakamhanya kuita kuti kufa kwese nekukuvadzwa zviitike kana kuti vakaenda vasina mubvunzo, uye avo vanoita zvakafanana nhasi. Vanhu vakanaka. Vanhu vane tsika. Vanhu vakangofanana newe. Vanhu vasingabhinya vana vavo kana zvipfuwo zvavo. Vanhu pamwe semukuru weUS Pacific Fleet akabvunzwa svondo rapfuura kana aizotanga kurwisa kwenyukireya kuChina kana Mutungamiri Trump akamuraira kudaro. Mhinduro yake yaiva hungu ine nheyo uye ine musoro, aizoteerera mirairo.

Kana vanhu vasingateereri mirairo, nyika inoparara. Naizvozvo munhu anofanira kuteerera mirairo kunyangwe painotsemura nyika - kunyangwe mirairo isiri pamutemo, mirairo inotyora Charter yeUN, mirairo inofuratira Kellogg-Briand Pact, mirairo inotsakatisa nekusingaperi kuvapo kwese kana kuyeuka kwese kwakanakisa kwendangariro dzehudiki nemwana wese. .

Kusiyana neizvi, Jeremy Corbyn, mukuru weLabour Party muUK, uye mutungamiriri anotevera kana zviri kuitika zvikaramba zvakadaro, akati haazomboshandisa zvombo zvenyukireya. Akashoropodzwa zvikuru nokuda kwokuva asina mufungo.

Tinogona uye tinofanira kubvisa zvombo zvenyukireya pachiso chenyika zvisati zvashandiswa nemaune kana netsaona. Zvimwe zvacho zvakapetwa nezviuru zvakadonhedzwa paJapan. Nhamba shoma yavo inogona kugadzira chando chenyukireya chinotiuraya nenzara. Kuwanda kwavo uye kujairana kwavo kunovimbisa kuti mhanza yedu ichapera kana tikasavabvisa. Nukes yakatangwa netsaona muArkansas uye netsaona yakadonhedzwa kuNorth Carolina. (John Oliver akati usanetsekane, ndosaka tine VAVIRI Carolinas). Rondedzero yevapotsa nekusanzwisisana inoshamisa.

Matanho akaita sechibvumirano chitsva chakafambiswa nenyika zhinji dzepasirese chekurambidza kuva nenyukireya anofanirwa kushandirwa nezvese zvatinazvo, toteverwa nemishandirapamwe yekubvisa mari yese, uye nekuwedzera maitiro kune simba renyukireya uye uranium yakapera.

Asi kuunza nyika dzenyukireya, uye kunyanya iyo yatiri kumira mairi, kuti tibatane nenyika pane ichi chichava chipingamupinyi chikuru, uye chinogona kusakundika kunze kwekunge tatora matanho kwete kungopesana neizvi zvakaipisisa zvezvombo zvese zvagadzirwa kusvika zvino. vachipesana negadziriro yehondo pachayo. Mikhail Gorbachev anoti kunze kwekunge United States yadzikamisa hutsinye hwayo uye kutonga kwemauto nenyika dzisiri dzenyukireya, dzimwe nyika hadzisiyi zvombo zvenyukireya zvavanotenda kuti zvinodzidzivirira kubva pakurwiswa. Pane chikonzero chekuti vacherechedzi vakawanda vanoona zvirango zvichangoburwa kuRussia, North Korea, neIran sekutanga kurwa neIran, kwete kune mamwe maviri.

Ipfungwa yehondo, pamwe chete nezvombo nemasangano ehondo, anoshora Jeremy Corbyn achiombera murume anoti anoteerera murayiro usiri pamutemo. Mumwe anoshamisika kana varwi vakanaka vakadaro nevafambisi vezvikepe vachiona Vasili Alexandrovich Arkhipov semunhu akaora kana kuti gamba. Aive chokwadi mukuru weSoviet Navy akaramba kuburitsa zvombo zvenyukireya panguva yeCuban missile dambudziko, nokudaro achikwanisa kuchengetedza nyika. Sekunakidzwa kwatingagona kuwana manyepo ese uye kuwedzeredza uye dhimoni rakanangidzirwa kuRussia nevakuru vedu vakasarudzwa uye vasina kusarudzwa uye nenhepfenyuro yavo, ndinofunga kumisa zvidhori zvaVasili Arkhipov mumapaki eUS zvingave zvakakosha. Pamwe padyo nemifananidzo yaFrank Kellogg.

Haisi ingori pfungwa yehondo yatinofanira kukunda, asi parochialism, kusarura nyika, rusaruraganda, kusarurana, kuda pfuma, uye kutenda mukodzero yedu yekuparadza pasi, kungave nemwaranzi kana nemafuta emafuta. Ichi ndicho chikonzero ndiine kusahadzika nezvechimwe chinhu chakaita seMarch For Science. Ndichiri kunzwa nezvokufora kwouchenjeri kana kuti kuungana kwokuzvininipisa kana kuratidzwa kwomutsa. Takatoita musangano weNothing, waipesana nemisangano, wakarongwa nemumwe mutambi wemuWashington, DC, tisati tamboita ratidziro imwe yezvimwe zvikonzero zvakakosha izvi.

Pane mutsara mubhuku uye firimu raCarl Sagan rinonzi udza mashoko iyo ine hunhu hune hungwaru hunoda kubvunza kune imwe tekinoroji yepamusoro budiriro kuti vakaita sei kuti ipfuure nhanho ye "teknolojia yekuyaruka" pasina kuzviparadza ivo pachavo. Asi uku hakusi kuyaruka kweruzivo rwokugadzira zvinhu kwatiri. Michina icharamba ichigadzira michina ine ngozi yakawanda nekufamba kwenguva. Tekinoroji haizove yakakura uye inotanga kugadzira zvinhu zvinobatsira chete, nekuti tekinoroji haisi munhu. Uhwu ndihwo hune hunhu hwekuyaruka hwatiri. Tinopa simba vapanduki vanokurudzira mapurisa kutsemura misoro neshamwari dzavo kuti varove vakadzi, uye vanoedza kugadzirisa matambudziko nemadziro mahombe, propaganda dzevadiki, kurambwa kwehutano, uye kupfurwa nguva nenguva. vanhu.

Kana kuti tinopa simba vatevedzeri vamambo wevechiri kuyaruka semutungamiri weUS akaenda kuHiroshima nguva inopfuura gore rapfuura ndokutaura zvenhema kuti "Zvinyorwa zvinotiudza kuti kurwisana kunotyisa kwakaonekwa nemunhu wekutanga," uye akatikurudzira kuti tisiye basa. kuhondo yechigarire nemashoko okuti: “Tingasakwanisa kubvisa simba romunhu rokuita zvakaipa, naizvozvo marudzi nemibatanidzwa yatinoumba inofanira kuva nemitoo yokuzvidzivirira timene.”

Zvakadaro nyika ine hutongi hwemauto haiwani chero chekudzivirira kubva kune nukes. Havadzivisi kurwiswa nemagandanga nevasiri vehurumende mune chero nzira. Uye havawedzeri iota kumauto eUS kukwanisa kudzivirira nyika kurwisa, zvichipihwa simba reUnited States rekuparadza chero kupi zvako chero nguva nezvombo zvisiri zvenyukireya. Ivowo havakunde hondo, uye United States, Soviet Union, United Kingdom, France, neChina vakarasikirwa nehondo vachipokana nemasimba asiri enyukireya ivo vaine nukes. Kana, kana pakaitika hondo yenyukireya yepasi rose, chero huwandu hwezvombo hunotyisa hunogona kudzivirira United States nenzira ipi neipi kubva kuapocalypse.

Tinofanira kushanda kubvisa zvombo zvenyukireya, Mutungamiri Barack Obama akadaro muPrague neHiroshima, asi, akadaro, zvichida kwete muupenyu hwake. Hatina imwe sarudzo kunze kwekuratidza kuti haana kururama nezvenguva iyoyo.

Isu tinofanirwa kushanduka kupfuura izvo zvatinoudzwa nevatungamiriri vedu nezvezvombo zvenyukireya, kusanganisira izvo zvikoro zvedu zvinoudza vana vedu nezve Hiroshima neNagasaki. Mavhiki bhomba rokutanga risati radonhedzwa, Japan yakatumira teregiramu kuSoviet Union ichitaura chido chayo chokukanda mapfumo pasi uye kupedza hondo. United States yakanga yatyora macode eJapan ndokuverenga teregiramu yacho. Mutungamiri Harry Truman vakataura mudhayari yavo kune "teregiramu kubva kuJap Emperor vachikumbira runyararo." Japan yakaramba kungokanda mapfumo pasi pasina zvisungo uye kusiya mambo wayo, asi United States yakasimbirira pamashoko iwayo kusvikira mabhomba adonha, panguva iyoyo yakabvumira Japan kuchengeta mambo wayo.

Chipangamazano chemutungamiri wenyika, VaJames Byrnes, vakaudza Truman kuti kudonhedza mabhomba kwaizobvumira United States kuti "itaure mamiriro ekupedza hondo." Munyori weNavy James Forrestal akanyora mubhuku rake kuti Byrnes 'ainyanya kunetseka kuti nyaya yeJapan ipere maRussia asati apinda.' Vakapinda muzuva rimwe chete Nagasaki yakaparadzwa.

United States Strategic Bombing Survey yakagumisa kuti, “… zvirokwazvo pamberi pa 31 Zvita, 1945, uye neimwe nzira pamberi pa 1 Mbudzi, 1945, Japan ingadai yakakanda mapfumo pasi kunyangwe mabhomba eatomu akange asina kudonhedzwa, kunyangwe Russia isina kupinda. hondo, uye kunyange dai pasina kupindira kwakanga kwarongwa kana kufungwa.” Mumwe aipikisa akanga ataura maonero mamwe chete aya kuMunyori weHondo kusati kwaitika mabhomba aiva General Dwight Eisenhower.

MaJapan akange atokundwa uye akagadzirira kukanda mapfumo pasi, ”akadaro.

United States inofanirwa kumira kuzvinyepera uye kutanga kutungamira nhangemutange yezvombo. Izvi zvinoda kuzvininipisa, kutendeseka kwakadzama, uye kubuda pachena kuongororo dzepasi rose. Asi sekunyora kwakaita Tad Daley, "Ehe, kuongororwa kwenyika dzese kuno kunokanganisa hutongi hwedu. Asi kuputika kwemabhomba eatomu kuno kunopindirawo pahuchangamire hwedu. Mubvunzo chete ndewekuti, ndeipi pazviviri izvi zvatinoona zvisinganyanyi kunetsa. "
