Nenzira dzakawanda, hondo inogara ichinyanya kuoneka. Ehezve muUS academia, iyo Pinkerist yekunyepedzera kuti tiri kurarama munguva yerunyararo rukuru kunoitwa nemhando dzese dzehunyanzvi, asi chekutanga nekuzivisa hondo dzevagari vevanhu kuti dzisiri hondo, nekuzivisa Hondo dzeUS kuva hondo dzevagari - chinhu chinonyengera kuita kana miniti ichinge yasiya US, maAfghans, semuenzaniso, vanoramba kuramba vachiurayana (vatuka!).
Asi muUnited States, hondo nemhirizhonga - kana imwe mimvuri isinganzwisisike - iri kwese kwese: maita basa risingaperi, nzvimbo dzakasarudzika dzekupaka uye ndege yekukwira ndege, kushambadzira kusingaperi kwekushambadzira uye kushambadzira kwezvombo, mafirimu asingaverengeke nemitambo yeterevhizheni. Hondo inogara yakamisikidzwa. Uye, zvisinganzwisisike, hunowanzoitika kupemberera kwehondo kwakaita kuti hondo ive isingafungidzike zvekuti pane mashoma anopokana kana hondo iri kwete yakataurwa - kunyangwe pazviitiko pazvinofanira kudaro.
MunaNovember, nyika dzepasi rese dzichataurirana zvibvumirano zvemamiriro ekunze zvichinyatsojeka kusiya kunze uye kupa gumbeze waivers kumauto ese. Ichi chiito che-pro-US nekuti huwandu hwemashandisirwo emasoja epasirese ari kuUS kana kuzvombo zveUS. Asi panguva imwe chete kungoita zvematongerwo enyika, zvakajairika, zvisina kukodzera kukoshesa kwemauto emunhu wese, nekuti mauto akakosha kupfuura mamiriro ekunze epasi.
Icho zvakare chikamu cheyakajairika pateni. Mauto ari asiya kunze yekuongorora kwekupararira kwe COVID. Kunyangwe ichiita ruzhinji rwefederal discretionary kushandisa, zvakaoma kuwana hurukuro yemashandisirwo eruzhinji, kana webhusaiti yewebhusaiti yeUS Congress Nhengo inotaura nezvekuvapo kwekushandisa muchiuto, hondo, rugare, zvibvumirano, Dhipatimendi reHurumende, kana 96% vanhu. Tine mafirimu pamusoro pePFAS makemikari anosiya iwo akaparadzira iwo makuru. Tine mapoka ezvakatipoteredza ane hanya nenzvimbo dzemari dze-super-fund asi kwete chinzvimbo chakakonzera vazhinji vacho. Tine mishandirapamwe inopesana nerusaruro isina hanya nezve kusimudzira kusarudzika kunopihwa nehondo. Varwi vehondo varikuwanda zvisingaenzaniswi nevapfuri veUS, asi huwandu hwenhau dzinotaura nezvechokwadi ichocho dzinogona kuverengerwa paminwe yemumwe munhu ane maoko maviri akapeputswa. Iyo Green Green Deal, senge zvivakwa uye zviyero zvekuyananisa, haina hanya kana iri mari inowanika muchiuto kana kukuvadzwa kwemauto - hazvo, kwete bhiri rekuyananisa iro rinopa mari zhinji yekushandisa muchiuto kuwedzera kune yega yeanotevera makore gumi, chimwe chinhu chakajairika uye pro forma iyo vanopikisa yekuwedzera mari yemauto vanokurudzira kusazviona. Masununguko eruzhinji mapoka haana kupokana nehondo dzinodzora rusununguko, uye kunyangwe kutsigira kuwedzera vakadzi kuboka revanhu vanogona kumanikidzwa kuhondo vachipesana nekuda kwavo. Mazhinji-akaburitsa mubatanidzwa wezvikonzero zvinofambira mberi zvinowanzo siya rugare - uye ndinofanira kufungidzira vatengesi vezvombo havanei nazvo zvishoma, nekuti paunodzima rugare unobatsirawo kubvisa hondo.
Dzimwe nguva hondo haigone kuchengetwa kunze kwenhau. Asi kunyangwe zvakadaro hazviratidzi sehondo. Inoshandurwa - mune yazvino chiitiko - kuita zvisirizvo zvekubuda, zvichipa pfungwa yekuti zvinotyisa kwazvo zvehondo yemakore makumi maviri zvese zvinowanikwa mumazuva ayo ekupedzisira. Isu tinogara tichiratidzika kunge kupotsa chokwadi chekuti hondo dzakabatana-dzakatenderedzwa kuuraya kwevanhu vazhinji - vane huwandu hwakakura zvakaenzana vakakuvara, vakashungurudzika, uye vasina pekugara uye vari panjodzi.
Kuunganidza mishumo pamusoro pekufa kwehondo muAfghanistan kubva kumhirizhonga yakananga kwakapa Brown Yunivhesiti Mutengo weHondo Chirongwa huwandu hwazvo 240,000. Nicolas Davies akaratidza kuti muIraq muna 2006 waifanirwa kuwedzera kufa kwakataurwa ne12 kuti uwane nhamba yakasvikwa neongororo yesainzi yakaitwa muIraq, uye kuGuatemala muna1996 waifanira kuwanda ne 20. Kutanga ne240,000 uye kuwedzera ne12 kunotipa mamirioni 2.8. pamwe vakafa zvakananga kubva muhondo mhirizhonga muAfghanistan. Wedzera nemakumi maviri uye iwe unowana, pachinzvimbo, mamirioni 20. Kufarira uyu mubvunzo kunogumira mukunyanyisa. Pakave pasina zvidzidziso zvakakomba zvakaitwa muAfghanistan. Nhau dzeUS dzemakambani enhau pamusoro penyaya idzi hadzipo sehondo dzevanhu. Uye according kuna Mutungamiriri Biden,
"Mauto eAmerica haakwanise uye haafanire kunge achirwa muhondo uye kufa muhondo iyo mauto eAfghan asingadi kuzvirwira."
Mukururamisira, Biden akatsamwa panguva iyoyo nekukundikana kwehondo nyowani nyowani kuti isvike. Zvakangodaro, mumwe munhu aigona kunge akamuudza kuti kufa kwemauto eAfghan kwaive kanokwana kagumi pane euto reUS. Kana iyo yese inonzi hungwaru inonzi nharaunda ingadai yakatsiviwa neyakaitika kare kana murwiri wezve rugare, uye zvingangoitika kumabasa ekune dzimwe nyika angave akabatwa makore makumi maviri apfuura.
