Tiri pano zvakare, pamwe padyo nehondo yenyukireya inobvira umo munhu wese acharasikirwa uye hapana achakunda sezvataive panguva yeCuban Missile Crisis chaizvo makore makumi matanhatu apfuura. Uye zvakadaro nharaunda dzepasirese, kusanganisira vadzvanyiriri uye demokrasi, haisati yasvika pakuziva nezvenjodzi isingagamuchirwe yezvombo zvenyukireya.
Pakati pazvo uye zvino, ndakazvipira kwemakumi emakore neine isiri purofiti inonzi Beyond War. Basa redu raive rekudzidzisa: kuita mbeu mukuziva kwepasirese kuti zvombo zveatomu zvaita kuti hondo yese isashande senzira yekugadzirisa kusawirirana kwenyika dzese-nekuti chero hondo yakajairika yaigona kuenda nyukireya. Kuedza kwakadai kwedzidzo kunodzokororwa uye kuwedzerwa nemamiriyoni emasangano pasi rese akasvika pamhedziso dzakafanana, kusanganisira dzakakura chaizvo seInternational Campaign yekubvisa Nuclear Weapons, muhwina weNobel Peace Prize.
Asi zvese izvi zvirongwa nemasangano hazvina kukwana kufambisa nzanga yepasirese kuti iite chokwadi chekuti hondo haichashandi, uye nekudaro, kusanzwisisa kukurumidza uye kusaedza zvakaringana, "mhuri" yemarudzi iri patsitsi. zvose zviri zviviri zvido zvemudzvanyiriri ane hutsinye anozvifungira—uye yegadziriro yenyika yose yefungidziro yechengeteko yehondo yakanamatira paupenzi.
SeSeneta weUS anofunga uye akangwara akandinyorera:
“. . . Munyika yakanaka, hapangazove nekudikanwa kwezvombo zvenyukireya, uye ndinotsigira kuedza kwevamiriri veUS, pamwe neavo vatinoshanda navo kune dzimwe nyika, kuderedza kuwanda kwenyukireya uye kukurudzira kugadzikana pasi rose. Zvisinei, chero bedzi zvombo zvenyukireya zviripo, kushandiswa kwezvombo izvi hakugoni kubviswa, uye kuchengetedzwa kwechidziviriro chenyukireya chakachengeteka, chakachengeteka, uye chinovimbika ndiyo inishuwarenzi yedu yakanakisisa pamusoro penjodzi yenyukireya. . .
"Ini ndinotenda zvakare kuti kuchengetedza chinhu chekusajeka mugwaro redu remabasa enyukireya chinhu chakakosha chekudzivisa. Semuyenzaniso, kana mumwe angave mhandu achitenda kuti vane nzwisiso izere yemamiriro ekutumira kwedu zvombo zvenyukireya, vanogona kushinga kuita kurwisa kwakaipisisa kupfupi pane zvavanoona semukumbaridzo wekukonzeresa mhinduro yenyukireya yeUS. Ndiine izvi mupfungwa, ndinotenda kuti Hapana Chekutanga Kushandisa mutemo haisi mukunakisisa kweUnited States. Muchokwadi, ndinotenda kuti inogona kuve nemhedzisiro yakaipa pamusoro pekuwanda kwezvombo zvenyukireya, sevabatsiri vedu vanovimba neamburera yenyukireya yeUS-kunyanya South Korea neJapan-vanogona kutsvaga kugadzira zvombo zvenyukireya kana vasingatendi nyukliya yeUS. kudzivirira kunogona uye kuchavadzivirira kubva pakurwiswa. Kana iyo US isingakwanise kuwedzera kudzivirira kune vanobatana nayo, isu takatarisana nenjodzi yakakomba yenyika ine dzimwe nyika dzezvombo zvenyukireya. "
Izvi zvinogona kutaurwa kuti zvinomiririra kufunga kwekugadzwa muWashington nepasirese. Dambudziko nderekuti fungidziro dzeSenator hapana kwainotungamira kunze kwezvombo, sekunge isu takavharirwa zvachose munzvimbo ine machakwi ekudzivirira. Iko hakuna ruzivo rwakajeka rwekuti, nekupihwa kuti nyika inogona kuguma semhedzisiro yekusanzwisisa kumwe kana kukanganisa, kanenge chikamu chidiki chesimba redu rekusika uye zviwanikwa zvakakura zvinogona kushandiswa mukufunga kuburikidza neimwe nzira.
Seneta angapokana kubva mukufungidzira kwake kuti kutyisidzira kwaPutin kunoita kuti iyi ndiyo nguva isiriyo yekutaura nezve kubviswa kwezvombo zvenyukireya - sevezvematongerwo enyika vanogona kuverengerwa mushure meimwezve kupfura kwevanhu vakawanda kutaura kuti haisi nguva yekutaura nezvekuchengetedza pfuti. reform.
Mamiriro ezvinhu naPutin neUkraine ndeyekare uye anogona kuverengerwa kuti azvidzokorore mune imwe mutsauko (cf. Taiwan) isipo shanduko yakakosha. Dambudziko nderedzidzo. Tisina ruzivo rwakajeka rwekuti zvombo zvenyukireya hazvigadzirise chinhu uye hapana kwazvinotungamira zvakanaka, pfungwa dzedu dzedzvinyu dzinotendeuka dzadzokorodza, izvo zvinonzwika seshoko rakabudirira, asi muchokwadi tiri kutyisidzirana: "Nhanho imwe mberi uye ini ndichaburuka. pauri nemigumisiro ine ngwavaira!” Takafanana nomurume akabata girinedhi achityisidzira kuti “aizotiputira tose” kana akasaita zvaanoda.
Pakangokwana nyika inoona kusava nematuro kweiyi nzira yekuchengeteka (sezvakaita nyika makumi mapfumbamwe neimwe idzo, nekuda kwekushanda nesimba kweICAN, dzakasaina chibvumirano. Chibvumirano cheUnited Nations paKurambidzwa kweNuclear Weapons), tinogona kutanga kuisa panjodzi hunyanzvi hunove huripo kupfuura kudzikisira. Tinogona kuongorora mikana yatinayo yekuita masaini anobvuma kusabatsira kwezvombo pasina kukanganisa "chengetedzo" yedu ("chengetedzo" yatove yakakanganiswa zvachose neiyo nyukireya inodzivirira system pachayo!).
Semuyenzaniso, US inogona kukwanisa kumisa hurongwa hwayo hwese hwepasi-pasi, sezvakataurwa neaimbove Secretary of Defense, William Perry, pasina kurasikirwa kwakakosha kwesimba rekudzivisa. Kunyangwe kana Putin aisambonzwa kutyisidzirwa uye aingoshandisa kushushikana kwake nezve NATO kugadzirisa "kushanda" kwake, anonzwa kutyisidzirwa izvozvi. Zvichida zviri mukuda kwepasi kumuita kuti anzwe kusatyisidzirwa, seimwe nzira yekudzivirira Ukraine kubva kune yekupedzisira kutyisa kwekuve nuked.
Uye nguva yadarika yekudaidzira musangano wepasirese uko vamiriri vemasimba enyukireya vane mutoro vanokurudzirwa kutaura nenzwi riri pamusoro kuti gadziriro yacho haishande uye inongotungamira munzira imwe yakaipa-uye vobva vatanga kudhirowa nzira yeimwe nzira. Putin anoziva pamwe chete nemunhu wese kuti ari mumusungo wakafanana nemukuru weUnited States muVietnam uyo zvinonzi zvakataurwa, “Zvakazova zvakakodzera kuparadza guta kuti riponeswe.”
