Makwikwi esarudzo dzemutungamiri wenyika yeUS ave achizivikanwa kuti anotarisa pane sirogani "Iyo hupfumi, hupenzi."
Kuedza kutsanangura maitiro ehurumende yeUS kunofanira kuisa pfungwa padiki diki pane imwe sirogani, inowanikwa mumusoro wepamusoro.
Andrew Cockburn's inonakidza bhuku idzva, The Spoils of War: Simba, Profit, uye American War Machine, inovaka nyaya yekuti US yekune dzimwe nyika mutemo inofambiswa zvakanyanya nemhindu yezvombo, kechipiri ne bureaucratic inertia, uye zvishoma kana zvichimboitwa nezvimwe zvinofarirwa, zvingave zvinodzivirira kana zvekubatsira vanhu, zvinosiririsa kana kupenga. Mune ngano idzo makambani enhau anotenderera, hongu, zvido zvekubatsira vanhu zvinokura uye bhizinesi rese rakanzi "kudzivirira," nepo mukuona kwandakabata kwemakumi emakore uye ndichiri kuita, haugone kuzvitsanangura zvese nepurofiti uye hutongi. - unofanira kukanda hutsinye uye kuchiva simba. (Kunyange Cockburn anoita seanoona mukurumbira wakashata weF35s pamusoro peA10s kwete chete purofiti asiwo nekuda kwekuuraya vanhu vakawanda vasina mhosva uye kuziva zvishoma nezvavo. Kunyange Cockburn anodzokorora General LeMay achivimbisa kurwisa Russia pachake pasina purofiti. kufarira pakutamba.) Asi kukosha kwepurofiti mumuchina wehondo hakufanire kuve kwakazaruka kune gakava. Zvirinani, ndinoda kuona mumwe munhu achiverenga bhuku iri obva apikisa.
Zvizhinji zvebhuku raCockburn rakanyorwa pre-Trump, kureva kuti Mutungamiriri weUS asati aita misangano yevatori venhau kuti ataure zvikamu zvakanyarara zvinonzwika uye kuzivisa pachena, pakati pezvimwe zvinhu, kuti ndiko kutengesa kwezvombo, benzi. Asi kutaura kwaCockburn kunojekesa kuti VaTrump vakanyanya kuchinja mataurirwo aiitwa zvinhu, kwete maitirwo azvo. Kunzwisisa izvi kunogona kutibatsira kunzwisisa zvimwe zvinhu zvekutonga kupfuura bhuku, sekuti nei mauto ari kupiwa kuregererwa muzvibvumirano zvemamiriro ekunze, kana kuti nei zvombo zvenyukireya zvichifarira dhiraivha rutsigiro rwe simba renyukireya - nemamwe mazwi, maitiro anoita seasina musoro munzvimbo dzakasiyana anogona kuwanikwa ane musoro kana munhu amira kufunga nezvehurumende yeUS sechinhu chakasiyana nemutengesi wezvombo.
Kunyange hondo dzisina musoro, dzisingaperi, dzine njodzi, uye dzisingabudiriri dzinowanzotsanangurwa sebudiriro ine mufungo kana ikanzwisiswa, kwete maererano nemashoko anoparadzirwa anoshandiswa kwadziri, asi sezvirongwa zvokutengesa zvombo. Ehe izvi hazvishande kune chero imwe hurumende, sezvo hurumende yeUS chete ndiyo inotonga pasi rose kutengesa zvombo, uye vashoma vehurumende vanoita basa guru mumunda zvachose, nepo hurumende yeUS ichitenga (zvezvombo zveUS) zvakaenzana nemari inoshandiswa nenyika yose pazvombo.
Humbowo hwakaunganidzwa naCockburn hunoratidza maitiro akareba ekuwedzera kushandiswa kwemauto achigadzira kushomeka kwemauto maererano nezvayo. Isu tese takajaira kuona Congress ichitenga zvisiri-kushanda zvombo izvo Pentagon isingatomboda asi izvo zvakavakwa mumatunhu akakodzera nematunhu. Asi zvimwe zvinhu zvinoita sezviri kuwedzera maitiro acho. Kunyanya kuoma chombo, purofiti inowedzera - ichi chinhu chega chinowanzo konzera nhamba shoma yezvombo zvefancier. Pamusoro pezvo, muzviitiko zvakawanda, kana zvombo zvakanyanya kukanganisa, ndipo panobva porofiti yakawanda, sezvo makambani achingobhadharwa yakawedzerwa kugadzirisa zvinhu pane kuverengerwa. Uye kukwidziridzwa kwezvikumbiro zvezvombo, kunyange kana zvisina kupupurirwa, purofiti inowedzerawo. Zvikumbiro hazvifanirwe kutendwa, chero bedzi zvichigona kutengeswa kunze kwenyika sekutyisidzira. Uye kunyange ikoko, hapana kariro yokutendwa inodikanwa. Izvi zvinodaro nekuti kunyange kunyepedzera kutenda chombo kunogona kutungamirira kuhondo, uye nekuti maindasitiri emauto kune dzimwe nyika ari kutsvaga zvikonzero zvekupembedza zvombo zvawo, zvachose zvisinei nekuti zvombo zvavari kurwisa zvinogona kukuvadza nhunzi. Cockburn anotorondedzera chiitiko chekufungira chenguva cheSoviet sub ichioneka padyo neSan Francisco apo vhoti yeConrgessional pazvombo zveUS yaive munjodzi.
Masangano akatarisana nerunyararo (uye Bernie Sanders) kwemakore mazhinji akaratidzira zvombo zvisina kunaka, marara, hutsotsi, nehuwori senharo dzekudzikisa mari yemauto. Masangano ekubvisa Hondo akapokana kuti zvombo zvisingashande ndizvo zvombo zvisina kunaka, kuti kusashanda kwavo isimbi yesirivha, kuti kutsauswa kwezviwanikwa mavari kutengeserana kunouraya kana zvido zvevanhu nezvisikwa zvisingabhadharwi, asi kuti zvombo zvokutanga kupikisa ndizvo zvinouraya zvinobudirira zvikuru. Mubvunzo usina kupindurwa zvakakwana ndewekuti tingabatana here nekuwedzera nhamba dzedu kuburikidza nekucherechedza purofiti yezvombo sechikonzero chikuru chemauto nehondo, pane kukanganisa muhurongwa hunoremekedzwa. Tinogona here kudzidza uye kuita pane zvakataurwa naArundhati Roy kuti zvombo zvaimbogadzirwa zvehondo, nepo hondo dzava kugadzirirwa zvombo?
Zvichemo zveUS zve "missile defense" ndezvenhema uye zvakawedzeredzwa, semagwaro eCockburn. Saka, sezviri pachena zvirevo zvaVladimir Putin zvekupikisa tekinoroji yekunyepedzera ine makomba e hypersonic. Saka, zvechokwadi, zvinoita sekunge US inotaura kuti iri kutevera zvine hungwaru zvombo zvakafanana - sezvavange vachiita-kubva-kubva pavakaunza mutyairi wenhapwa weNazi anonzi Walter Dornberger kuzoshandira mauto eUS. Putin anotenda here zvichemo zvekudzivirira zveUS missile, kana kuti anoda kubhadharira vatengesi vezvombo, kana kuita nekuchiva kwake simba? Vatengesi vezvombo vekuUS vava kuita mari pazvombo zvavo zvisina tariro hypersonic zvingangove zvisina basa.
Hondo yeSaudi paYemen inonyanya kufambiswa nekutengesa zvombo zveUS kuSaudi Arabia. Ndizvo zvakaita kufukidzwa kwebasa rehurumende yeSaudi muna 9/11. Cockburn inovhara ese ari maviri aya misoro zvakanyanya. Saudi Arabia inotobhadhara US $30 miriyoni pagore kugamuchira chikwata cheUS chekutengesa zvombo chinovatengesera zvimwe zvombo.
Afghanistan zvakare. Mumashoko aCockburn: "Rekodhi inoratidza kuti hondo yeAmerica yeAfghan yakanga isiri chimwe chinhu kunze kwekushanda kwenguva refu uye kwakabudirira zvachose - kupamba mutero weUnited States. Vanenge chikamu chimwe muzvina chemiriyoni veAfghan, tisingatauri zviuru zvitatu nemazana mashanu eUS nemauto akabatana, vakabhadhara mutengo unorema. "
Kwete zvombo nehondo chete zvinotungamirirwa nepurofiti. Kunyangwe kuwedzera kweNATO kwakachengetedza Hondo Yemashoko mhenyu kwaifambiswa nezvido zvezvombo, nechishuwo chemakambani ezvombo eUS kushandura nyika dzeEastern Europe kuva vatengi, sekureva kwaCockburn, pamwe nekufarira kwaClinton White House mukukunda chiPolish. -Kuvhota kweAmerica nekuunza Poland muNATO. Haisi kungotyaira kutonga mepu yepasirese - kunyangwe kuri iko kudisa kuzviita kunyangwe zvikatiuraya.
Kupunzika kweSoviet Union kunotsanangurwa mukutaura kwaCockburn sekuzvipa huwori nemauto eindasitiri, chirongwa chemabasa chisina tariro kupfuura kukwikwidza neUnited States. Kana iyo inonzi nyika yemakomunisti inogona kukundwa nekusagadzikana kwemabasa echiuto (isu ziva izvozvo kushandiswa kwechiuto kunokuvadza hupfumi uye kubvisa pane kuwedzera mabasa) kune tariro yakawanda kuUnited States uko capitalism ndeyekutenda uye vanhu vanonyatsotenda kuti mauto anodzivirira "mararamiro" avo?
Ndinoshuva kuti Cockburn anga asina kutaura pane peji xi kuti Russia yakatora Ukraine uye papeji 206 kuti vanhu vashoma vanoseka vakafa muhondo yeIraq. Uye ndinovimba haana kusiya Israeri kunze kwebhuku nekuti mudzimai wake anoda kukwikwidza kuCongress zvakare.
