Ebudeni bamashumi asixhenxe eminyaka emva kwemfazwe yehlabathi yesibini, amazwe awayephambili ehlabathini phantse ngazwinye akhetha ukungaphumeleli okusesikweni kwezentlalo, ubuzalwana nodade wabo bonke abantu, kodwa ukutyala imali engakumbi kwiinkqubo zemfazwe zelizwe zokubulala ngenkohlakalo, ukutshabalalisa, kunye nokungcoliseka kwendalo.
Ngokutsho kweSIPRI Military Expenditure Database, ngowe-1949 uhlahlo lwabiwo-mali lwemfazwe yaseUnited States lwaluziibhiliyoni ezili-14 zeerandi. Ngo-2020, iUnited States yachitha i-722 yeebhiliyoni zeedola kwimikhosi exhobileyo. Ubudenge nokuziphatha okubi kwenkcitho enkulu kangako yasemkhosini, olona hlahlo lwabiwo-mali lukhulu lwemfazwe emhlabeni, lucace ngakumbi xa kucingwa ukuba iUnited States ichitha kuphela i-60 yeebhiliyoni zeedola kwimicimbi yamazwe ngamazwe.
Awungekhe wenze ngathi umkhosi wakho ukhusela, hayi ubundlongondlongo, ukuba utyala imali eninzi emfazweni kwaye incinci ngoxolo. Ukuba uchitha ixesha lakho elininzi ungenzi abahlobo kodwa uziqhelanisa nokudubula, uya kufumanisa ukuba abantu abakungqongileyo bajongeka njengezinto ekujoliswe kuzo. Ubundlobongela bunokufihlwa okwethutyana, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo luya kutyhilwa.
Ezama ukucacisa ukuba kutheni umkhosi womkhosi ufumana imali ephindwe kali-12 kunezozakuzo, unozakuzaku wase-US kunye negosa elihonjisiweyo uCharles Ray wabhala ukuba "imisebenzi yomkhosi iya kuhlala ibiza kakhulu kunemisebenzi yozakuzo - yindalo nje yerhamncwa." Akazange acinge nokucinga ukuba kunokwenzeka ukuba atshintshe imisebenzi ethile yasemkhosini ngemizamo yokwakha uxolo, ngamanye amazwi, ukuziphatha ngakumbi njengomntu olungileyo kunesilo.
Kwaye oku kuziphatha ayisosono esikhethekileyo sase-United States; unokuyibona kumazwe aseYurophu, eAfrika, eAsiya nakuMbindi Merika, eMpuma kwanaseNtshona, kuMzantsi nakuMntla, kumazwe anezithethe nezithethe zonqulo ezahlukahlukeneyo. Sisiphoso esixhaphakileyo kwinkcitho kawonke-wonke kangangokuba akukho mntu uyilinganiselayo okanye ayiquke kwizalathisi zoxolo zamazwe ngamazwe.
Ukususela ekupheleni kwemfazwe ebandayo kude kube namhlanje iyonke inkcitho yomkhosi yehlabathi iphantse yaphinda kabini, ukusuka kwitriliyoni enye ukuya kwiitriliyoni ezimbini zeedola; ayimangalisi into yokuba abantu abaninzi bechaza imeko yangoku yemicimbi yamazwe ngamazwe njengemfazwe entsha ebandayo.
Ukunyuka kwenkcitho emkhosini kubhentsisa iinkokeli zopolitiko zehlabathi njengamaxoki agxekayo; la maxoki ayingoozwilakhe omnye okanye ababini, kodwa iindidi zezopolitiko ezimele ngokusesikweni amazwe azo.
Amazwe alithoba anezixhobo zenyukliya (iRashiya, i-USA, iChina, iFransi, i-UK, iPakistan, i-Indiya, i-Israel, ne-North Korea) athetha amazwi amaninzi kwiindibano zamazwe ngamazwe ezingoxolo, idemokhrasi, nolawulo lomthetho; abahlanu kubo ngamalungu asisigxina eBhunga lezoKhuseleko le-UN. Ukanti, abemi babo kunye nehlabathi liphela abanakuziva bekhuselekile ngenxa yokuba bakhupha abarhafi ukuba babase umatshini wedoomsday betyeshela isivumelwano sokuvalwa kwenyukliya esamkelwe kwiNdibano yeZizwe eziManyeneyo luninzi lwezizwe.
Ezinye izilo ezisuka kwipakethi yase-US zilambile ngakumbi kunePentagon. Umzekelo, eUkraine 2021 isabelo sohlahlo lwabiwo-mali lweSebe lezoKhuselo ludlula amaxesha angama-24 uhlahlo lwabiwo-mali loMphathiswa weMicimbi yezaNgaphandle.
E-Ukraine, uMongameli uVolodymyr Zelensky, onyulwe emva kokuthembisa uxolo, wathi uxolo kufuneka lube “ngokwemiqathango yethu” kwaye wawathulisa amajelo eendaba e-pro-Russian e-Ukraine, njengomanduleli wakhe uPoroshenko wavala iinethiwekhi zentlalo zaseRussia kwaye watyhala umthetho wolwimi olusemthethweni ngaphandle kwesiRashiya ngaphandle. inqanaba loluntu. Iqela likaZelensky uMsebenzi waBantu uzibophelele ekunyuseni inkcitho yomkhosi ukuya kwi-5% ye-GDP; ibiyi-1.5% ngo-2013; ngoku ingaphezulu kwe-3%.
Urhulumente Ukrainian ikhontrakthi eUnited States 16 Mark VI izikhephe patroli 600 ezigidi zeerandi, nto leyo ethelekiseka nayo yonke inkcitho kawonke Ukrainian kwinkcubeko, okanye amaxesha enye enesiqingatha Odessa isixeko ibhajethi.
Ngoninzi kwipalamente yaseUkraine, umatshini wezopolitiko wobumongameli ugxininisa amandla ezopolitiko kwizandla zeqela leZelensky kwaye wandise imithetho yomkhosi, njengezohlwayo eziqatha kubaphangi ukusuka emkhosini kunye nokudala imikhosi emitsha "yokuchasa ilizwe", ukwandisa abasebenzi abasebenzayo bemikhosi exhobileyo. ngo 11,000 (esele ikhule ukusuka 129,950 ngo 2013 ukuya 209,000 ngo 2020), ukudala iiyunithi zomkhosi koorhulumente basekhaya kuqeqesho olusisinyanzelo lomkhosi izigidi zabantu ejolise ukuhlanganisa lonke uluntu kwimeko imfazwe neRashiya.
Kubonakala ngathi ookhetshe baseAtlantiki bazimisele ukutsalela iUnited States emfazweni. Unobhala wezomkhosi waseMelika uLloyd Austin utyelele iKyiv ethembisa ukubonelela ngoncedo lomkhosi ngokuchasene nobundlobongela baseRussia. I-NATO ixhasa izicwangciso zokwakha iziseko zomkhosi waselwandle ezibini kwingingqi yoLwandle oluMnyama, inyusa ukungavisisani neRussia. Ukusukela ngo-2014, iUnited States ichithe iibhiliyoni ezi-2 kuncedo lomkhosi eUkraine. URaytheon kunye noLockheed Martin benze inzuzo enkulu ngokuthengisa imijukujelwa yabo yeJavelin echasene netanki, kwaye abarhwebi bokufa baseTurkey nabo benza intywenka yemali ngemfazwe yaseUkraine bathengisa ngeedrone zabo zeBayraktar.
Amashumi amawaka abantu sele ebulewe kwaye ekhubazekile kwimfazwe yeminyaka esixhenxe yaseRussia-Ukraine, ngaphezulu kwezigidi ezibini zagxothwa kumakhaya abo. Kukho amangcwaba amaninzi kumacala omabini omgca ongaphambili ozele ngamaxhoba angaziwayo emfazwe. Ubutshaba eMpuma Ukraine buyanda; ngo-Okthobha ka-2021 izinga lemihla ngemihla lokuphulwa kokupheliswa kokudubula liphindwe kabini xa kuthelekiswa nonyaka odlulileyo. I-Ukraine kunye neRussia exhaswa yi-US kunye nabahlukanisi baseRussia batshintshiselana ngezityholo zobundlobongela kunye nokungaxoxisani. Kubonakala ngathi amaqela angquzulanayo akakulungelanga ukufuna uxolelwaniso, kwaye imfazwe entsha ebandayo ixhokonxa ungquzulwano olubi eYurophu ngelixa i-USA neRussia ziqhubeka nokugrogrisa, ukuthuka, kunye nokungcungcuthekisa oonozakuzaku bomnye nomnye.
"Ngaba umkhosi ungaluzisa uxolo xa idiplomacy iphelelwe amandla?" ngumbuzo-buciko kuphela. Yonke imbali ithi ayinako. Xa besithi banako, unokufumana inyani encinci kwezi pops zemfazwe yepropaganda kunomgubo kwi-dummy bullet esetyenzisiweyo.
Amajoni ahlala ethembisa ukuba ayakulwela, kwaye ahlala ephula izithembiso. Balwela ingeniso namandla okuwasebenzisa kakubi ukuze bafumane inzuzo engakumbi. Baphanga abahlawuli berhafu yaye basihlutha amathemba ethu nelungelo lethu elingcwele lekamva elinoxolo nolonwabo.
Yiyo loo nto ungafanele ukholelwe kwizithembiso zoxolo ezivela koosopolitiki, ngaphandle kokuba balandela umzekelo obalaseleyo waseCosta Rica eyabhangisa imikhosi exhobileyo kwaye yalela ukuyilwa komkhosi omileyo nguMgaqo-siseko, kwaye – le yeyona nto ilungileyo! -ICosta Rica yabela kwakhona yonke inkcitho yasemkhosini ukuxhasa imfundo engcono kunye nokhathalelo lwezonyango.
Sifanele sisifunde eso sifundo. Abahlawuli berhafu abanakulindela uxolo xa beqhubeka behlawula amatyala athunyelwe ngabarhwebi bokufa. Ngalo lonke unyulo kunye neenkqubo zohlahlo lwabiwo-mali, abezopolitiko kunye nabanye abathathi-zigqibo kufuneka beve iimfuno eziphezulu zabantu: yekani ukutyisa irhamncwa!
