Re "Isongelo kuLawulo lweeNyukliya”(Inqaku lomhleli, ngoJulayi 30):
Ulumkisa ngokufanelekileyo ukuba izicwangciso zaseMelika zokuchitha ngaphezulu kwe- $ 1 trillion kule minyaka ingama-30 izayo yokuphucula imikhosi yenyukliya kuyakujongela phantsi ulawulo lweengalo kunye nokuxhoma ugqatso lweengalo ezintsha. Kodwa akwanelanga ukushiya esi sicwangciso siyingozi, sibiza kakhulu ukuphucula amandla ethu okutshabalalisa umhlaba.
Umgaqo-nkqubo wenyukliya wase-United States usekwe kwinkolelo yokuba izixhobo zenyukliya zithintela ukusetyenziswa kwazo: ukuba amazwe anezixhobo zenyukliya aya kuyeka ukuhlaselana ngenxa yokoyika ukuphikiswa abaza kusokola. Ukanti siyazazi iimeko ezingaphezulu kweshumi elinambini apho amazwe axhobileyo enyukliya aqala inkqubo yokuqalisa izixhobo zawo zenyukliya, ngesiqhelo kwinkolelo ephosakeleyo yokuba iintshaba zabo sele bezenzile-ngaphezulu kweshumi elinambini amaxesha xa ukuthintela kungaphumeleli.
Kwaye sixelelwe ukuba iNorth Korea akufuneki ifumane amandla enyukliya kuba ayinakuphikiswa ngokuthembekileyo. Lixesha lokuba ushiye lo mgaqo-nkqubo usileleyo kwaye silandele ukhuseleko lokwenyani lwehlabathi elingenazixhobo zenyukliya.

Ubango lwakho lokuba "okoko kwamiselwa ixesha lenyukliya, iMelika ibingoyena mntu uphambili, ukuba ungafezekanga, unyanzelisa imiqobo ekhoyo"
iyayityeshela imbali elusizi yokwanda okuvuselelekileyo kwe-United States kwezixhobo zenyukliya kunye neenkqubo zayo zokuhambisa kunye nokwaliwa kwezithembiso ezininzi ezivela eRussia, China nakwaseNyakatho Korea zokunciphisa ubutshaba.Qala ngokukhaba kukaMongameli uHarry S. Truman kwisindululo sikaStalin sika-1946 sokuvala izixhobo zenyukliya phantsi kweliso leZizwe eziManyeneyo; ukwala kukaMongameli Ronald Reagan kwesithembiso sikaMikhail S. Gorbachev sokuxoxisana malunga nokupheliswa kwezixhobo zenyukliya, ezimiselwe uMnu.
Ukuvuma kukaReagan ukuba angafuni ukugqwesa emkhosini emajukujukwini kunye nenkqubo ye "Star Wars", eyaliwa nguMnu Reagan.Ngokunjalo, cinga isithembiso sikaVladimir V. Putin esiya kuMongameli uBill Clinton sokunciphisa indawo yethu yokugcina izixhobo iye kwi-1,500 okanye i-1,000 inye kwaye sibize amanye amazwe anezixhobo zenyukliya ukuba axoxisane ngokupheliswa kwawo, ukuba nje siyayeka ukwenza iziseko zokulwa i-antimissile ePoland naseRomania, athe uMnu. UClinton wala. Kwaye uMongameli uGeorge W. Bush emva koko wemka kwi-Antiballistic Missile Treaty eyaxoxisana neSoviet Union.
Ngokubhekisele kwiNyakatho Korea, kucacile ukuba ubunkokheli bayo bufuna uthethathethwano, hayi imfazwe. I-North Korea yayikukuphela kwelizwe elinezixhobo zenyukliya elalivotela uthethathethwano lokuthintela ibhombu ngo-Okthobha ophelileyo kwiZizwe eziManyeneyo.
Kananjalo i-Senate ivotele i-98 ukuya kwi-2 yokunyanzelisa i-North Korea, i-Russia ne-Iran. Loluphi uhlobo lokuthintela oko?

Kumhleli:
Izindululo zolawulo lukaTrump kunye nabanye kwiCongress zokuchitha i- $ 1 trillion kwisizukulwana esitsha sezixhobo zenyukliya ziyingozi kakhulu. Imfazwe yenyukliya ayinakuphumelela kwaye akufuneki ilwe. Indawo yokugcina izixhobo zenyukliya enokubakho ekuvumeleni isitrayikhi esikhuselekileyo sesibini (sokuziphindezela).
Endaweni yoko, abaqulunqi bezixhobo kunye nabacwangcisi bemfazwe bazise izixhobo zenyukliya "ezinokusetyenziswa" nangakumbi. Umjukujelwa wenqanawa omtsha ocetywayo uza kunciphisa amaxesha okuphendula kwenyukliya kunye nomngcipheko wokungaziphathi kakuhle ngexesha lobunzima.
Ulawulo lukaTrump kutsha nje luye lwaziduba iintetho zeZizwe eziManyeneyo zokuphelisa izixhobo zenyukliya. IsiVumelwano seNyukliya sokungaphumeleli kufuna amandla akhoyo enyukliya ukuba ahambe kwelo cala ngenjongo yokubuyisa ukungabikho kwenyukliya. Ukuchitha i-trillion zeedola kwizixhobo zenyukliya ezintsha kuya kuthenga kuphela ukunganqabiseki kwihlabathi liphela.

Izimpendulo ze-2
Ewe, uninzi lwamazwe ehlabathi ayazi kakuhle ukuba ngoobani abo bashushu kunye nabo bazama ngamandla ukuthintela imfazwe. I-USA kunye ne-Israel kuya kufuneka zinqandwe kubundlongondlongo babo obuqhubekayo kunye nokuxhotyiswa ngenkani kwezixhobo kwaye abantu abanoxanduva banikwe izigwebo ezinde kakhulu entolongweni. IZizwe eziManyeneyo kufuneka zihanjiswe kwilizwe ledemokhrasi lokwenyani, i-Iceland kunye ne-USA kunye no-Israyeli bagxothiwe.
Ixesha lethu, iUnited States iyeke ukwanda kwenyukliya. Ukwandiswa kwezi zixhobo kusenza singazithembi ngakumbi. Lixesha lokuba uzibophelele ekwenzeni ifayile ye world beyond war, ukuba umhlaba usebenze kuwo wonke umntu! Akukho mntu ushiye ngaphandle. Wonke umntu waquka. Noba kwenzekani!
