Hondo muUkraine uye ICBMs: Iyo Isingaverengeki Nyaya Yekuti Vaigona Sei Kuparadza Nyika

NeNorman Solomon, World BEYOND War, February 21, 2023

Kubva apo Russia yakapinda muUkraine gore rapfuura, kuburitswa kwenhau muhondo hakuna kana kutaurwa kudiki kweanokandwa mapfumo pasi (ICBMs). Zvakadaro hondo yakawedzera mikana yekuti ICBMs itange mhirizhonga yepasi rose. Mazana mana avo - anogara ari payambiro yebvudzi - ane zvombo zvenyukireya zvizere mumasilo epasi akapararira mhiri kweColorado, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota neWyoming, nepo Russia ichiisa mazana matatu ega. Aimbove Munyori weDziviriro William Perry akadana ICBMs "zvimwe zvezvombo zvine njodzi pasi rose," nyevero kuti “vanogona kutomutsa hondo yenyukireya netsaona.”

Ikozvino, nekunetsana kuri pamusoro-soro pakati pemasimba makuru enyukireya epasirese, mikana yekuti maICBMs atange mhirizhonga yenyukireya awedzera sezvo mauto eAmerica neRussia akatarisana ari pedyo. Kukanganisa a alarm yekunyepa kurwiswa kwezvombo zvenyukireya kunowedzera mukana pakati pekushushikana, kuneta uye paranoia zvinouya nehondo dzenguva refu uye mafambisirwo.

Nekuti ivo vakasarudzika panjodzi sezvombo zvakavakirwa pasi - nemutemo wemauto we "zvishandise kana kurasikirwa nazvo" - ICBMs dzakagadzirirwa kutanga payambiro. Saka, sekutsanangura kwaPerry, "Kana ma sensors edu achiratidza kuti zvombo zvevavengi zviri munzira kuenda kuUnited States, mutungamiri wenyika anofanirwa kufunga nezvekutanga maICBMs asati aparadza vavengi. Kana dzangotangwa, hadzichayeukwi. Mutungamiri angave aine asingasviki maminetsi makumi matatu ekuita sarudzo yakaipa kudaro. "

Asi pane kukurukura pachena - uye kubatsira kudzikisira - njodzi dzakadai, midhiya yeUS nevakuru vanodzikisira kana kuvaramba vakanyarara. Tsvagiridzo yakanakisa yesainzi inotiudza kuti hondo yenyukireya yaizoguma ne "nyukliya yechando,” zvichikonzera kufa kwe pamusoro pe99 muzana yehuwandu hwevanhu vepasi. Ipo hondo yeUkraine iri kuwedzera kusawirirana kuti dambudziko risinganzwisisike rakadaro richaitika, varwi velaptop uye mapundits makuru vanoramba vachitaura chishuwo chekuenderera mberi nehondo nekusingaperi, vaine cheki isina chinhu yezvombo zveUS uye zvimwe zvinotumirwa kuUkraine zvakatopfuura $110 bhiriyoni.

Zvichakadaro, chero meseji yekuda kuenda kune chaiyo diplomacy uye kudzikisira-kupedza gakava rinotyisa muUkraine rinofanirwa kurwiswa sechipo, nepo chokwadi chehondo yenyukireya nemhedzisiro yacho zvichinyorwa nekuramba. Yakanga iri, kunyanya, nhau yezuva rimwe chete mwedzi wapfuura apo - ichidaidza iyi "nguva yenjodzi isati yamboitika" uye "yakatarisana nenjodzi yepasi rose yakambove" - ​​Bulletin yeAtomic Scientists. zvakaziviswa kuti "Doomsday Clock" yakanga yatoswedera pedyo neapocalyptic Pakati pehusiku - masekonzi makumi mapfumbamwe chete kubva, zvichienzaniswa nemaminitsi mashanu makore gumi apfuura.

Nzira yakakosha yekudzikisa mikana yekuparara kwenyukireya ingave yekuti United States iparadze simba rayo rese reICBM. Aimbove mukuru mukuru weICBM Bruce G. Blair naGen. James E. Cartwright, aimbova mutevedzeri wasachigaro weJoint Chiefs of Staff, akanyora: "Nekubvisa mauto asina njodzi akavakirwa pasi, chero chikonzero chekutanga payambiro chinopera." Kupokana neUnited States kuvhara maICBM pachayo (kungave kana kusadzoreredzwa neRussia kana China) kwakafanana nekusimbirira kuti munhu akamira akadzika-mabvi mudziva repeturu haafanire kumisa machisi emwenje.

Chii chiri mungozi? Mubvunzurudzo mushure mekudhindwa kwebhuku rake rinokosha 2017 "The Doomsday Machine: Confessions of Nuclear War Planner," Daniel Ellsberg. akatsanangura kuti hondo yenyukireya “yaizokwira mupasi rose mamiriyoni akawanda ematani echin’ai noutsi hutema zvinobva mumaguta ari kutsva. Kwaisazonaya mu stratosphere. Yaizotenderera pasi pose nokukurumidza zvikuru uye ichideredza chiedza chezuva ne70 muzana, ichikonzera tembiricha yakafanana neiyo yeLittle Ice Age, ichiuraya goho munyika yose uye kufa nenzara kusvika kumunhu wose ari paNyika. Pamwe hazvaizokonzera kutsakatika. Isu tinochinjika. Zvichida 1 muzana yechiverengero chedu chavagari vemo chazvino cha 7.4 bhirioni inogona kurarama, asi 98 kana kuti 99 muzana yaisagona.”

Nekudaro, kune vanofarira zvehondo yeUkraine vari kuwedzera muUS midhiya, kutaura kwakadaro hakubatsiri, kana kusiri kubatsira zvakanyanya kuRussia. Ivo havana basa, uye vanoita sevanoda kunyarara kubva, nyanzvi dzinogona kutsanangura "kuti hondo yenyukireya ingakuuraya sei uye anenge munhu wose.” Iyo inowanzoitika insinuation ndeyekuti inoda kudzikisa mikana yehondo yenyukireya, uku uchitsvaga dhipatimendi rakasimba rekupedza hondo yeUkraine, vari kubva kumawimps uye anotyisa-katsi anoshandira Vladimir Putin.

Imwe yekambani-media inofarira, Timothy Snyder, inoburitsa bellicose bravado pasi pechimiro chekubatana nevanhu vekuUkraine, ichipa zviziviso zvakaita seyake. zvazvino kudai kuti “chinhu chinokosha zvikuru kutaura pamusoro pehondo yenyukireya” ndechokuti “haisi kuitika.” Izvo zvinongoenda kuratidza kuti ine mukurumbira Ivy League wezvenhoroondo inogona kubwaira zvine ngozi sezvinoita chero munhu upi zvake.

Kufara uye kubhengi hondo kubva kure kuri nyore zvakakwana - mu mashoko akakodzera yaAndrew Bacevich, “pfuma yedu, ropa romumwe munhu.” Tinogona kunzwa takarurama nekupa tsigiro yekutaura uye inobatika yekuuraya nekufa.

kunyora muNew York Times neSvondo, munyori akasununguka Nicholas Kristof akadana NATO kuti iwedzere kuwedzera hondo yeUkraine. Kunyangwe akacherekedza kuvepo kwe "kunetsekana kuri pamutemo kuti kana Putin akatsigirwa mukona, anogona kurwisa nzvimbo yeNATO kana kushandisa zvombo zvenyukireya zvine hungwaru," Kristof akakurumidza kuwedzera kurudziro: "Asi vaongorori vazhinji vanofunga kuti hazvingaite kuti Putin ashandise hungwaru. zvombo zvenyukireya.”

Zvitore? “Vazhinji” vanoongorora vanofunga kuti “hazvigoneke” - saka enda mberi nekukungurusa dhayi. Usanyanya kunetseka pamusoro pekupinza nyika muhondo yenyukireya. Usave mumwe we kutya nellies nokuti hondo iri kuwedzera ichawedzera mikana yokuparadza kwenyukireya.

Kuti zvive pachena: Hapana chikonzero chakanaka chekupinda kweRussia muUkraine uye hondo yayo inotyisa iri kuramba ichiitika munyika iyoyo. Panguva imwecheteyo, kuramba vachidurura muhuwandu hwakawanda hwezvombo zvepamusoro uye zvepamusoro zvinokodzera seizvo Martin Luther King Jr. akadana "kupenga kwechiuto." Munguva yake Kutaura kweNobel Peace Prize, Mambo akati: “Ndinoramba kubvuma pfungwa isina kururama yokuti nyika nenyika dzinofanira kudzika masitepisi ehondo kupinda mugehena rokuparadza kwenyukireya.”

Mumazuva anouya, kusvika kucrescendo Chishanu pamusi wekutanga wekupinda kweUkraine, kuongororwa kwenhau yehondo kuchawedzera. Kuratidzira kuri kuuya uye zvimwe zviito mumaguta akawanda eUS - mazhinji anodaidzira kuti dhipatimendi rechokwadi "kumisa kuuraya" uye "kudzivisa hondo yenyukireya" - havakwanisi kuwana inki yakawanda, pixels kana airtime. Asi pasina kutaurirana chaiko, ramangwana rinopa kuuraya kunoenderera mberi uye njodzi dzinowedzera dzekuparadza kwenyukireya.
