Umkhosi womoya wase-US umemezele ukuba ukuphehlelelwa kovavanyo lomjukujelwa we-Minuteman III we-intercontinental ballistic enentloko yemfazwe ehlekisayo kuya kwenzeka emva kwexesha phakathi kwe-11: 01 pm ngoLwesine kunye ne-5: 01 am ngoLwesihlanu ukusuka kwi-Vandenberg Air Force Base e-California.
Akusayi kubakho sikhalo samazwe ngamazwe malunga nokuqaliswa kovavanyo olucwangcisiweyo lomjukujelwa ukuba, phantsi kokuthunyelwa okuqhelekileyo kokusebenza, kuya kuthwala intloko yemfazwe ye-thermonuclear. Kuya kubakho ingxubusho encinci okanye kungabikho ngxoxo naphi na ngamajelo eendaba malunga novavanyo kunye neziphumo zalo malunga neenzame zamazwe ngamazwe zokulawula ukwanda kwezixhobo zenyukliya kunye nokukhokelela ihlabathi ekuphelisweni kwezixhobo.
Ngoko kuya kwenzeka ntoni ngexesha elithile kwiiyure zeveki ezizayo?
Sibala… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1…
Ngokugquma okukhulu, kunye nokushiya umkhondo womsi, umjukujelwa uya kuphuma kwi-silo yawo usebenzisa inqanaba lokuqala le-rocket motor. Malunga nemizuzwana engama-60 emva kokuqaliswa kwenqanaba lokuqala liyatsha kwaye liwe, kwaye inqanaba lesibini lemoto liyavutha. Kweminye imizuzwana engama-60 inqanaba lesithathu lemoto liyavutha lize limke, lithumela i-rocket ngaphandle kwe-atmosfera. Malunga neminye imizuzwana engama-60 i-Post Boost Vehicle iyahlukana ukusuka kwinqanaba lesithathu kunye nokuhamba ukuze ulungele ukuhambisa isithuthi sokungena kwakhona okanye i-RV.
Okulandelayo i-RV yahlula kwi-Post Boost Vehicle kwaye iphinda ingene emoyeni, isenza indlela yayo ekujoliswe kuyo. Ii-RV ezibizwa ngokuba yi-euphemistically ziqulethe ii-warheads ze-thermonuclear ezikwazi ukutshisa izixeko ziphela (nangaphaya) kwaye zibulale ngoko nangoko (ubuncinci) amakhulu amawaka, ukuba ayizizigidi, zabantu, ezibangela ukubandezeleka okungathethekiyo (kokubini ixesha elifutshane kunye nexesha elide) abasindileyo, kwaye behlisela umhlaba ekubeni libhodlo eliqhumayo, neradioactive.
Kuba olu vavanyo i-RV ilayishwe ngentloko yemfazwe “yedummy” njengoko ibuhlungu ijonge ekujoliswe kuko eKwajalein Atoll kwiMarshall Islands, malunga neekhilomitha ezingama-4200 ukusuka kwindawo yokuphehlelelwa.
Kwaye kuphelele apho abantu. Akukho mlandeli, akukho mabali eendaba. Ukukhutshwa kweendaba nje kwesiqhelo kurhulumente wase-US. Njenge ukukhutshwa kweendaba kwangaphambili Wathi, "Uvavanyo lubonisa ukuba isithintelo senyukliya saseMelika sikhuselekile, sikhuselekile, sithembekile kwaye siyasebenza ukunqanda izoyikiso zenkulungwane yamashumi amabini ananye kwaye siqinisekise abo sisebenzisana nabo."
Malunga ne-400 Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles ikwi-24/7 ye-hair-trigger alert kwi-silos e-Montana, e-Wyoming naseMntla Dakota. Baphethe izixhobo ze-thermonuclear ubuncinane ngokuphindwe kasibhozo kunebhombu eyatshabalalisa iHiroshima.
Ke zithini iinyani zezi ICBMs, kwaye kutheni le nto kufuneka sizikhathaze?
- Zifumaneka kwii-silos ezizinzileyo, okwenza kube lula ukuhlaselwa;
- Kukho inkuthazo “yokuzisebenzisa kuqala okanye uzilahlekele” (jonga into 1 ngasentla);
- Ukuphaphama okuphezulu kwezi zixhobo kunokukhokelela kwimfazwe yenyukliya ngempazamo (cinga ukurhawuzelelwa komnwe wokudubula);
- Urhulumente wase-US uhlala egxeka amanye amazwe ngokwenza uvavanyo lwe-missile;
- Olu vavanyo lunempembelelo embi kwilizwe ekujoliswe kulo (abantu baseMarshall baye babandezeleka amashumi eminyaka kuvavanyo lwangaphambili lwezixhobo zenyukliya kunye novavanyo lwangoku lwemijukujelwa);
- Ukuvavanya le mijukujelwa kukhuthaza amanye amazwe ukuba aphuhlise kwaye avavanye imijukujelwa yawo kunye nezixhobo zenyukliya.
Njengoko abantu kweli lizwe beqala ukucinga malunga nokulungiselela iirhafu zabo, mhlawumbi eli lixesha elifanelekileyo lokubuza ukuba imali yethu esiyisebenze nzima ingachithwa ngcono - izixhobo zokuvavanya ezenzelwe ukubulala izigidi zabantu (kwaye mhlawumbi ukuphelisa ubomi emhlabeni) okanye ukuxhasa. iinkqubo ezixhasa ubomi. Emva kokuchitha iitriliyoni kwizixhobo zenyukliya, asiloxesha lokuthi KWANELE? Le mijukujelwa isekelwe emhlabeni kufuneka irhoxiswe ngoko nangoko (kwaye eso sisiqalo nje)!
Ukulandela ukubanjwa kwakhe ngenxa yokuqhankqalaza uvavanyo lwaseVandenberg ICBM ngo-2012, ngoko owayenguMongameli we ISiseko seNyukliya yoSondlo, uDavid Krieger, wathi, “Umgaqo-nkqubo wezixhobo zenyukliya waseUnited States okhoyo ngoku awukho mthethweni, awukho mthethweni yaye ubeka emngciphekweni omkhulu wokukhokelela kwintlekele yenyukliya. Asinakulinda de kubekho imfazwe yenyukliya ngaphambi kokuba sithabathe inyathelo lokususa ezi zixhobo zokutshabalalisa ihlabathi. I-US kufuneka ibe yinkokeli kulo mzamo, kunokuba ibe ngumqobo ekuphunyezweni kwayo. Kuxhomekeke kwinkundla yoluvo loluntu ukuba iqinisekise ukuba i-US iqinisekisa obu bunkokeli. Ixesha lokuthatha amanyathelo ngoku.” (Funda Ukubeka iMigaqo-nkqubo yeSixhobo seNyukliya yase-US kuLingo kwiNkundla yezimvo zoluntu)
Daniel Ellsberg (odume ngokuvuza amaPhepha ePentagon kwi ENew York Times), naye owabanjwa ngo-2012, wathi, “Besiqhankqalaza ukuziqhelanisa nembubhiso… Echaza ulwazi lwakhe njengengcali yangaphambili yenyukliya, u-Ellsberg ubonise ukuba umsi ovela kwizixeko ezitshatyalaliswe kutshintshiselwano lwenyukliya phakathi kweRashiya kunye ne-US uya kuhlutha umhlaba ngeepesenti ezingama-70 zokukhanya kwelanga kwaye kubangele indlala ye-10 yeminyaka eya kubulala ubomi obuninzi emhlabeni. .
Akukho ngqiqweni ukuba ikamva loBuntu lisezandleni zabantu abanekratshi lokukholelwa ukuba banokulawula ezona zixhobo zembubhiso abazinqwenela njengezixhobo zomgaqo-nkqubo wangaphandle. Ayingombuzo wokuba izixhobo zenyukliya ziya kuze zisetyenziswe na okanye aziyi kuphinda zisetyenziswe, kodwa NINI, mhlawumbi ngengozi okanye ngenjongo. Ekuphela kwendlela yokuthintela into engenakucingelwa kukukhupha ezi zixhobo zoyikekayo zentshabalalo yethu.
Ekugqibeleni ukupheliswa kuyimpendulo, kwaye isiqalo esisebenzayo iyakuba kukuyekiswa kunye nokuchithwa kwazo zonke ii-ICBMs (owona mlenze ungazinzanga wetriad yenyukliya). Ngeqela langoku leenqanawa ezilishumi elinesine ze-OHIO zodidi lwe-"Trident" ezijulwayo ze-Ballistic, malunga neshumi kuzo ekunokwenzeka ukuba zibe selwandle nangaliphi na ixesha, i-US inokuba namandla enyukliya azinzileyo nothembekileyo kunye nesixa esikhulu samandla omlilo enyukliya.
Izimpendulo ze-2
IWashington Post yamva nje iveza malunga ne-lymphomas kunye nezinye izifo zomhlaza ezichaphazela amagosa okulawula imijukujelwa eMinuteman ibonisa ukuba naxa imijukujelwa esekwe emhlabeni isemhlabeni, inokubangela ukwenzakala kwabo babangqongileyo. Inqaku lePost ligxile kwigosa lokulawula imijukujelwa evela eColorado Springs eyabulawa yi-lymphoma. Kwanabo bakwi-Space Command kunye ne-Global Strike Command abongamela amabala e-missile e-Montana, eMissouri, nase-Wyoming / Colorado, bayavuma ukuba imijukujelwa ibonisa isoyikiso. Oko kufane kubizwe ngokuba sisithathu senyukliya akumelanga inkqubo ehambelanayo yokuthintela, ngoko kutheni uthathu wenyukliya uyimfuneko? Ixesha lokuyekisa ukusetyenziswa kwemijukujelwa esekwe emhlabeni NGOKU.

Enkosi ngolu bizo lokuvuka lwamva nje malunga nokuphelisa ugunyaziso olusekwe kumhlaba we-minuteman nukes, ngokunjalo nangomlenze webhombu wento ebizwa ngokuba “ngunxantathu”, ukuzingca kwabo baqhushumbisi kubonakala kabuhlungu. Ngubani na onengqondo ephilileyo ukucinga ukuba ii-nukes aziyonto ngaphandle kokufa nentshabalalo, "uxolo ngamandla" luxolo lwamangcwaba (Neruda). Urhulumente wemizi-mveliso wezomkhosi uyaqhubeka nokwenza into enye ngokuphindaphindiweyo elindele isiphumo esahlukileyo; leyo yinkcazelo yobugeza. Umama wethu uMhlaba akanako ukuphinda ame kolu xolo ngamandla, ixesha lokuyeka oku kuphambana kwaye akhokelele umhlaba kuxolo lokwenyani ngothando: Uthando luya kukuqhubela phambili kunobuqhophololo nangaliphi na ixesha. UJimmy Carter angavuma.
