Nzira Yokubvisa Sei Hondo kubva kuAmerica

NaBrad Wolf, Nharo Dzose, July 17, 2022

Gwaro rekurapa pane kurwa hondo harina kumbobvira ranyatsotariswa, kutaurwa, kana kutumirwa chero nzira nenyika ino.

Nhasi ndataura nemubatsiri wezvekune dzimwe nyika weSeneta weUnited States mukushevedzera kwakarongwa kwesangano redu rinorwisa hondo. Panzvimbo pekushandisa yakajairwa yekubiridzira mapoinzi nezve kutambisa mari yePentagon, ndakakumbira hurukuro yakasununguka nezve nzira iyo sangano redu dzingawana zano rakabudirira rekucheka bhajeti rePentagon. Ini ndaida maonero emumwe munhu anoshanda paGomo seneta anochengetedza.

Mubatsiri waSeneta ndiye akandimanikidza. Mikana yechero bhiri inodarika makamuri ese eCongress yaizoderedza bhajeti rePentagon negumi muzana, sekureva kwemubatsiri, yaive zero. Pandakabvunza kana izvi zvaikonzerwa nemaonero eruzhinji kuti taida mari iyi kuti tidzivirire nyika, mubatsiri wacho akapindura kuti yakanga isiri maonero eruzhinji chete asi chokwadi. Seneta akagutsikana, sezvaive zvakanyanya muCongress, kuti kuongororwa kwePentagon kwekutyisidzira kwaive kwakaringana uye kwakavimbika (izvi kunyangwe nhoroondo yePentagon yekutadza kufanotaura).

Sezvandakatsanangurwa, mauto anoongorora kutyisidzira pasi rose kusanganisira nyika dzakaita seChina neRussia, obva agadzira zano remauto kurwisa kutyisidzira ikoko, anoshanda nevagadziri vezvombo kugadzira zvombo kuti zvibatanidzwe muchirongwa ichocho, vobva vagadzira bhajeti rinobva pane izvozvo. strategy. Congress, maDemocrats uye maRepublicans zvakafanana, vanobvumidza zvakanyanya bhajeti. Mushure mezvose, ihondo. Vanoziva zvakajeka bhizinesi rehondo.

Kana mauto atanga nepfungwa yekuti anofanirwa kutarisana nematambudziko ese anobva munzvimbo dzese pasirese, anobva agadzira zano remauto epasi rose. Iri harisi zano rekudzivirira, asi zano repasi rose remapurisa kune ese angango fungirwa mhosva. Kana kunetsana kwese kana nzvimbo yekusagadzikana ikaonekwa sekutyisidzira, nyika inova muvengi.

Zvakadini kana kurwisana kwakadaro kana kusagadzikana kwaionekwa semikana pane kutyisidzira? Zvakadiniko kana tikatumira vanachiremba, vanamukoti, vadzidzisi, uye mainjiniya nokukurumidza sezvataisa drone, mabara, uye mabhomba? Vanachiremba muzvipatara zvinotakurika vanodhura zvakanyanya pane yazvino F-35 fighter jet iyo iri kuvhara $ 1.6 trillion mutengo tag. Uye vanachiremba havauraye zvisiri varwi mumapati emuchato kana mariro zvichibva zvakurudzira kurwisa America. Kutaura zvazviri, havaoni varwi kana vasiri varwi, vanoona vanhu. Vanorapa varwere.

Korasi inodeedzera pfungwa yakadai sekuti "naïve" inonzwika nekukasika, ngoma dzehondo dzinopa mutsindo wekuchaja. Uye saka, kuongororwa kwakarongeka. Maererano ne Merriam-Webster, naïve inogona kureva “kuzivikanwa nokupfava kusingakanganisi,” kana kuti “kushaikwa muuchenjeri hwenyika kana kuti kusarudza uchiziva,” kana kuti “asina kumboedzwa kana kuti mamwe mamiriro ezvinhu okuedza.”

Chikumbiro chiri pamusoro chevanachiremba pamusoro pe drones chinonzwika chiri nyore uye chisina kukanganiswa. Kudyisa vanhu vane nzara, kuvatarisira pavanenge vachirwara, kuvapa pokugara pavanenge vasina pokugara, inzira iri nyore. Kazhinji nzira isina kukanganiswa, iri nyore ndiyo yakanakisisa. Mhosva semhosva pano.

Nezve“kushaikwa muuchenjeri hwenyika kana kutonga kwakavakirwa pazivo,” takapupurira America nguva dzose pahondo, takaona vakachenjera, venyika, uye vakaziva vachibvumikiswa kuva vasina kururama nenzira ine ngwavaira kazhinji kazhinji nokurasikirwa kwemazana ezviuru zvoupenyu. Havana kuunza rugare, hapana kuchengeteka. Isu tine mhosva nomufaro yokuva tisina mucherechedzo wavo chaiwo wouchenjeri hwenyika nokutonga kwakavakirwa pazivo. Isu, vasingazivi, takaunganidza huchenjeri hwedu uye kutonga kubva pakutsungirira kukanganisa kwavo kwenjodzi, hubris yavo, nhema dzavo.

Nezve tsananguro yekupedzisira ye naïve, "isina kumbobvira yaedzwa," zviri pachena kuti mutemo wekurapa pane kurwa hondo hauna kumbobvira watariswa zvakanyanya, kutaurwa, kana kuisirwa chero nzira nenyika ino. Naïve zvakare, sekupomerwa.

Dai takavaka zvipatara zve2,977 muAfghanistan mukuremekedza munhu wese weAmerica akafa musi wa9/11, tingadai takaponesa hupenyu hwakawandisa, takagadzira kushoma kwazvo anti-Americanism nehugandanga, uye takashandisa zvishoma kudarika $6 trillion mutengo tag yevasina kubudirira. Hondo paKutyisa. Uyezve, chiito chedu choukuru netsitsi chingadai chakanyandura hana yenyika. Asi taida kuteura ropa, kwete kumedura chingwa. Taishuva hondo, kwete rugare. Uye hondo tinayo. Makore makumi maviri ayo.

Hondo inogara ichipokana pamusoro pezviwanikwa. Mumwe munhu anoda izvo mumwe munhu anazvo. Kune nyika isina dambudziko kushandisa madhora mazana matanhatu emadhora paHondo Yehugandanga yakakundikana, tinogona kupa zviwanikwa zvinodikanwa zvechikafu, pekugara, uye mushonga kudzivirira vanhu kubvarurana, uye mukuita izvi, tizviponese kubva pakuvhura zvakadaro. rimwe ronda raibuda ropa. Tinofanira kuita zvinogara zvichiparidzwa mumakereke edu asi zvisinganyanyi kugadzwa. Tinofanira kuita mabasa etsitsi.

Zvinosvika kune izvi: Tinodada here nekukunda nyika nemabhomba, kana kuichengeta nechingwa? Ndechipi cheizvi chinotibvumira kubata misoro yedu kumusoro sevanhu vekuAmerica? Ndechipi cheizvi chinokurudzira tariro uye ushamwari ne“vavengi” vedu? Ndinoziva mhinduro kwandiri uye neshamwari dzangu dzakawanda, asi zvakadini nesu tose? Tinowana sei hondo kubva muAmerica? Hapana imwe nzira yandinoziva kunze kwekusava neruzivo uye nekumbundikira mabasa etsitsi asina kukanganiswa.
