Kana United States ichizivikanwa sehumambo, kunyangwe hazvo hwakasiyana rudzi kupfuura vamwe, zvakajairika kunongedzera kumagumo eRoma yekare kana humambo hweBritain, Spain, Holland, nezvimwe, seyambiro kuPentagon kana kunyangwe kune CNN nharo mamoderator.
Asi fananidzo yepedyo kuUnited States iriko kupfuura Roma yekare, mune imwe nyaya, inogona kunge iri maViking. United States haigadzi makoloni munzvimbo dzainorwira hondo kana kushandisa pesvedzero. Inopaza. Zvinopamba. Inobira zviwanikwa. Iyo inogadzira smart mafoni. Inotsemuka. Inoisa matunhu ari ega, akavakirirwa zvakanyanya, anozivikanwawo semabhesi emauto, mamishinari, nzvimbo dzakasvibirira, nzvimbo dzakachengeteka, uye misasa yekudzidzira vapanduki. Inoenda kumba.
Chii chakamboitika kumaVikings zvakadaro?
Ndinoda kuona ongororo ichiitwa pamubvunzo iwoyo. Ndiri kutya kuti vanhu vazhinji vaizopindura kuti maViking akafa kana kuzviuraya ivo kana kuurayana. Icho chingave chiri chekupokana-neumambo hunhu hwenyaya yeViking. Izvo zvaizoenderanawo nepfungwa yekuti mhirizhonga inodzora vanhu kwete neimwe nzira yakatenderedza.
Vamwe vanogona kupindura kuti maVikings akanyangarika zvisinganzwisisike, asi ivo havana kuita chinhu cherudzi rwacho.
Zvizhinji zvatinoziva nezveVikings zvinobva kune vanhu vanokwanisa kuverenga mune dzimwe tsika vakarwiswa uye vakapwiswa neVikings. Sezvakangoita vanhu pasi rese kuudza Gallup musarudzo ichangobva kupfuura iyi kuti United States ndiyo yehungwaru kwazvo kune rugare pasi pano, vanhu vakanganiswa nevechiViking vaiona maVikings kunge zvikara zvehondo. Hapana mubvunzo kuti izvi zvakaburitsa zvakawandisa, asi hapana mubvunzo kuti maVikings aigara achingoita izvo isu nhasi todaidza kuti hutsinye hwehondo kana kunongedzerwa hutongi hwehutongi hwevanhu, zvichitsamira pakuti ndiyani aibhadhara kuti titumidze zviitwa.
Ikoko kunogona zvakare kuve nemubvunzo kuti maViking haana kumbofa akabuda. Kunzwisiswa kwazvino kweDNA kunoratidza kuti huwandu hwakakura hwevanhu muNorway, Denmark neSweden vazukuru veVikings, sezvakaita vanhu vazhinji mune mamwe matunhu eEurope neBritain (kusanganisira inopfuura hafu yemhuri dzakura muLiverpool, semuenzaniso - Viking Beatles?!).
Zvakanaka, kana vasina kufa, chii chakaitika? Chokwadi, huchenjeri hwese kuUS hunobata kuti kana vanhu vakaipa vane mhirizhonga vakaita, toti, maIran vaifanira kuramba varipo, ivo vaizoenderera mberi nekuparura hondo dzese dzavanoramba vachimisikidza pasirese. Zvirokwazvo, imwe pfungwa iri nani iri nani inobata kuti United States inobhadhara hondo dzese dzainobhadhara nekuda kwenjodzi asi isingadzivisike maitiro akavigwa mumajene edu. Muchokwadi, ndine chokwadi chekuti "Magen'a Edu Anogona Kuita Mhirizhonga, Asi Isu Tinogona Kuita Buck Kure Izvo" yaimbove sirogani yaLokheed Martin, kana inogona kunge yaive Raytheon. Chokwadi, dai maViking aive varwi, vana vavo vanofanirwa kunge vachiri varwi.
Zvinoshatirisa, chokwadi chiripo. MaViking akaramba achingorarama uye zvakanyanyisa kudzikisa kuuraya kwavo. "Kuchinja kwevaNorthmen, 'denda reEurope,' kuva vavaki venharaunda ine runyararo muEurope, Scandinavia, uye vagadziri vemazano nemasangano kutsiva hondo inyaya inonakidza," akanyora Elise Boulding. Sezvo iye achitaura iyo nyaya, maViking zvishoma nezvishoma akawana kuwirirana kuchikosha kupfuura kukunda, uye kutaurirana kutengeserana kunobatsira kupfuura kupamba. Vakatama kubva pakupamba kuenda pakuvaka misha. Vakagamuchira dzimwe dzerunyararo mazano echiKristu. Vakatanga kurima zvakanyanya uye vafambisa zvishoma.
Mamwe masosi anowedzera pamusoro penyaya iyi. Iwo maViking aive abatsirwa nekuisa vanhu muuranda kwavakarwisa. Sezvo chechi yechiKristu yakavambwa muScandinavia, yakasimbirira pakuita varanda chete vasiri maKristu, izvo zvakakanganisa zvakanyanya purofiti yekupamba kweEuropean. Viking (kana aimbove Viking) mhirizhonga yakadzoserwa mumaCrusade kurwisa maMuslim nemaJuda. Asi, usakanganise, huwandu hwechisimba hwaive padanho rakadzika. Kuparadzaniswa murunyararo kweNorway neSweden mu1905 yaive muenzaniso kune mamwe marudzi ane nguva yakaoma yekuita zviitiko zvakadaro pasina hondo. Kurwisana kweScandinavia kuhondo munguva pfupi yapfuura, kusanganisira sarudzo yeSweden yekusabatana zvizere neNATO - pamwe nesarudzo yayo yekugara kunze kwehondo mbiri dzenyika - muenzaniso zvakare.
Asi chidzidzo chaicho ndechekuti maVikings akamira kuva maViking. Uye isu tinogona kudaro.
