Kule mpelaveki abantu abali-100 kwilizwe liphela bazakuthatha inxaxheba Akukho Mbumba weFighter JetUkukhawuleza kunye nemilwelwe yokuchasa ukuthengwa okucwangcisiweyo kweCanada kweenqwelomoya ezintsha ezingama-88. Inkqubo ye- Khawuleza ukumisa iiJets uyakubanika imbeko abo babulewe ziinqwelomoya zaseKhanada.
Kwiinyanga ezizayo, urhulumente wobumbano kulindeleke ukuba akhulule uvavanyo lokuqala lwezindululo ngeejeti ezintsha zomlo. Abo bakhuphisana nabo yi-Saab's Gripen, Boeing's Super Hornet kunye ne-Lockheed Martin's F-35.
Umbuzo wenqwelomoya wokulwa uchithe amandla amaninzi kurhulumente womanyano. Ubungqina kwiNdlu yeeKomiti eziMeleyo yoKhuselo ngoLwesibini, owayesakuba ngumabhalana weBhunga eliLawulayo uMichael Wernick cetyiswa ukuthengwa kweejets ezintsha zokulwa kwakuphakathi kwemicimbi "eyasibangela ukuba siphulukane nengqwalaselo" kwizityholo zokuziphatha gwenxa ngokwesondo ngowayesakuba yintloko yezomkhosi jikelele u-Jonathan Vance.
Urhulumente wobumbano uthi uceba ukuchitha malunga ne-19 yezigidigidi zeedola kwiijets ezintsha. Kodwa lelo lixabiso lesincamathelisi nje. Kuxhomekeka kwinqwelomoya ekhethiweyo, iindleko eziyinyani zinokuphindeka kane loo mali. Ngokwengxelo yakutshanje ekhutshwe yi-No Fighter Jets Coalition, indleko zobomi-ukusuka ekufumaneni ukuya ekugcineni ukuya ekulahlekeni kweenqwelomoya-kuqikelelwa $ 77 billion.
Ooovimba bangatyalomali olungcono ekubuyiseleni nje kunye nakwiGreen New Deal jobs. Iimali ezinikezelwe kwiinqwelo-moya zinokulungisa ingxaki yamanzi yeZizwe zokuQala kunye nokuqinisekisa amanzi okusela asempilweni kuyo yonke indawo yogcino. Kwaye yanele imali yokwakha amashumi amawaka eeyunithi zezindlu zentlalo okanye imizila kaloliwe emininzi ekhanyayo kwizixeko ezahlukeneyo.
Kodwa ayisiyonto nje yokuchitha imali. ICanada ikwizinga lokukhupha ngakumbi igesi yegreenhouse (GHGs) kunokuba kuvunyelwene kwisivumelwano seParis ngo-2015. Ukanti siyazi ukuba iinqwelo-moya zokulwa zisebenzisa izixa ezikhulu zepetroli. Emva kwe- Iibhombu ezinde zeenyanga ezintandathu eLibya ngo-2011Umkhosi waseRoyal waseCanada phendla ukuba ii-jets zayo ezinesiqingatha zadla iilitha eziyi-8.5 yezigidi zepetroli. Ngaphezu koko, ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni kwiindawo eziphakamileyo kunefuthe lokufudumala okukhulu, kunye nezinye "iziphumo" ezibhabhayo kubandakanya i-nitrous oxide, umphunga wamanzi kunye nomsizi, ovelisa iimpembelelo ezongezelelekileyo zemozulu.
Xa uxinzelelo lwekhabhon dayoksayidi esemoyeni idlulayo Iindawo ezingama-420 kwisigidi ngasinye okokuqala kwimpelaveki ephelileyo, lixesha elingenangqondo lokuthenga iinqwelo-moya ezomeleleyo zekhabhon.
ISebe lezoKhuseleko kuZwelonke likude Eyona nto ikhupha ii-GHG kurhulumente womanyano. Okumangalisayo kukuba, nangona kunjalo, ukukhutshwa kwemikhosi exhobileyo kuxolelwe ekucuthweni kwelithagethi.
Ukongeza ekuqinisekiseni ukuba asinakho ukufezekisa iinjongo zethu zemozulu, iijethi zomlo akufuneki zikhusele abantu baseCanada. Azinamsebenzi kakhulu ekujonganeni nobhubhane wehlabathi okanye uhlaselo lwesimbo se-9/11, ukuphendula kwintlekele yendalo, ukubonelela ngoncedo lwamazwe aphesheya okanye kwimisebenzi yokugcina uxolo. Ezi zixhobo ezikhohlakeleyo ezenzelwe ukuphucula amandla omoya wokujoyina i-US kunye ne-NATO.
Imikhankaso yokufa kunye nentshabalalo
Kule minyaka imbalwa idlulileyo, iinqwelomoya zaseCanada zidlale indima ebalulekileyo kwibhombu ekhokelwa yi-US e-Iraq (1991), eSerbia (1999), eLibya (ngo-2011) nase-Syria nase-Iraq (2014-2016).
Ibhombu yeentsuku ezingama-78 kwindawo eyayisakuba yiYugoslavia waphule umthetho wamazwe aphesheya njengeBhunga lezoKhuseleko leZizwe eziManyeneyo okanye urhulumente waseSerbia iyivumile. Kuyafana nangokuqhushumba eSyria. Ngo-2011, iBhunga lezoKhuseleko ivume indawo ekungabhabhiswa kuyo ukukhusela abantu baseLibya, kodwa ukuqhushumba kwe-NATO kwegqitha kugunyaziso lwe-UN.
Amandla afanayo ayedlala ne-Iraq kwii-90s zokuqala. Ngexesha laloo mfazwe, iinqwelomoya zaseCanada ezazibandakanyeka kwinto ebizwa ngokuba yi "Bubiyan Turkey Shoot" leyo wayitshabalalisa i-Iraq Iinqanawa zomkhosi ezilikhulu nangaphezulu, kunye nokuqhushumba komdibaniselwano kutshabalalise uninzi lwezixhobo zase-Iraq. Imveliso yombane yeli lizwe yadilizwa ikakhulu njengamadama amakhulu, izixhobo zokuhambisa amanzi amdaka, izixhobo zonxibelelwano, izixhobo zamazibuko kunye neendawo zokucoca ioyile. Amashumi amabini amawaka amajoni aseIraq kunye namawakawaka abantu babulawa.
ESerbia, amakhulu asweleka ngexesha lokuqhushumisa kwe-NATO ngo-1999 kwaye amakhulu amawaka afuduswa. Iibhombu ze-NATO "Ukutshabalalisa iindawo zoshishino kunye neziseko ezingundoqo kubangele izinto eziyingozi ukuba zingcolise umoya, amanzi kunye nomhlaba." Ukutshatyalaliswa ngabom kwezityalo zamachiza kubangelwe umonakalo omkhulu wokusingqongileyo.
E-Libya, iinqwelomoya zokulwa ze-NATO zonakalise kakhulu inkqubo ye-aquifer enkulu ye-Great Manmade. Ukuhlaselwa komthombo wamashumi asixhenxe eepesenti zamanzi kubemi a ulwaphulo-mthetho. Ukusukela kwimfazwe ka-2011, izigidi zabantu baseLibya bajongene nengxaki engapheliyo ingxaki yamanzi. Ngexesha leenyanga ezintandathu zemfazwe, umanyano lwehla 20,000 iibhombu phantse iithagethi ezingama-6,000, kubandakanya ngaphezulu kwama-400 izakhiwo zikarhulumente okanye amaziko okuyalela. Amashumi, mhlawumbi amakhulu, abahlali babulawa kugwayimbo.
NgeyeDwarha I-poll yeNanos Utyhile ukuba amaphulo okuqhushumisa yinto engathandwayo emkhosini. Xa abaphenduli babuzwa ukuba "uxhasa njani, ukuba kunjalo, uxhomekeke kwezi ntlobo zilandelayo zemikhosi yaseCanada kwimishini yamanye amazwe," i-airstrikes yayilelona lithandwayo kwezona zisibhozo.
Amashumi asixhenxe anesixhenxe eepesenti axhasayo "athabatha inxaxheba kuncedo lwentlekele kwindalo iphesheya" kwaye iipesenti ezingama-74 zixhasa "imikhosi yokugcina uxolo yeZizwe eziManyeneyo," ngelixa iipesenti ezingama-28 zabo bavotyiweyo bexhasa "ukuba noMkhosi Womoya waseCanada ubandakanyeke kuhlaselo lweenqwelo moya." Ukongeza, ukusebenzisa umkhosi ukuxhasa i-NATO kunye ne-ally ekhokelwa yimishini yayiyeyona nto iphambili kwabo bavotelweyo.
Ukuphendula umbuzo othi, "Ngokoluvo lwakho, yeyiphi eyona ndima ifanelekileyo kuMkhosi oxhobileyo waseCanada?" I-6.9 yepesenti yabo bavotelweyo bathi, "xhasa abathunywa / amahlakani eNATO" ngelixa iipesenti ezingama-39.8 zikhethe "ukugcina uxolo" kunye neepesenti ezingama-34.5 ezikhethiweyo "ukukhusela iCanada." Nangona kunjalo, ukuchitha i-77 yezigidigidi zeedola kwiinqwelo-moya zokulwa ezisemngciphekweni kunengqondo kuphela kwimeko yezicwangciso zokulwa kwiimfazwe ezizayo zase-US nase-NATO.
Ukuba urhulumente waseCanada uzimisele ngokukhusela ubomi eMhlabeni, akufuneki ukuba athenge ii-jets ezintsha ezingafunekiyo ezingama-88 ezingafunekiyo, ezitshabalalisa imozulu.
