Ukungena kukaDonald Trump kumongameli wase-US kusizisa ubuso ngobuso kunye nombuzo abaninzi abaye bazama ukuwuphepha ukususela ngo-1945: Ngaba kukho umntu onelungelo lokungena kwihlabathi kwimbubhiso yenyukliya?
UTrump, ewe, ngumongameli waseMelika onomsindo ngokungaqhelekanga, oziphindezelayo, nongazinzanga ngokwasengqondweni. Ke ngoko, ngenxa yenyani yokuba, esebenza yedwa, unokusungula imfazwe yenyukliya, singene kwixesha eliyingozi kakhulu. Urhulumente wase-US unazo malunga Izixhobo zenyukliya ze-6,800, uninzi lwazo kwi-hair-trigger alert. Ngapha koko, iUnited States sesinye sezizwe ezisithoba, zizonke, ezinazo phantse Izixhobo zenyukliya ze-15,000. Ezi zixhobo zenyukliya icornucopia zanele ukutshabalalisa phantse zonke izinto eziphilayo emhlabeni. Ngokubhekele phaya, kwanemfazwe yenyukliya encinane ibiya kuvelisa intlekele yoluntu ngomlinganiselo ongenakucingeleka. Akumangalisi ke ngoko, ukuba iingxelo ezixeliweyo zikaTrump malunga isakhiwo kwaye usebenzisa izixhobo zenyukliya ziye zahlasimlisa abantu ababukeleyo.
Kwiinzame ezicacileyo zokulawula umhlali omtsha we-White House waseMelika, uSenator u-Edward Markey (D-MA) kunye noMmeli uTed Lieu (D-CA) kutshanje bazise umanyano. Mithetho ukufuna iCongress ukuba ibhengeze imfazwe phambi kokuba umongameli wase-US agunyazise uhlaselo lwezixhobo zenyukliya. Ekuphela kwento engaphandle iya kuba kukusabela kuhlaselo lwenyukliya. Amaqela oxolo ajikeleza lo mthetho kwaye, ubukhulu becala Uhleli, i ENew York Times ivumile, iphawula ukuba "ithumela umyalezo ocacileyo kuMnu. Trump wokuba akafanelanga ukuba ngowokuqala ukusukela kwiMfazwe yesibini yeHlabathi ukusebenzisa izixhobo zenyukliya.
Kodwa, nakwimeko engalindelekanga yokuba umthetho waseMarkey-Lieu upasiswe yiRiphabhlikhi yeCongress, ayijongani nengxaki ebanzi: ukukwazi kwamagosa ezizwe ezinezixhobo zenyukliya ukuqalisa imfazwe yenyukliya eyintlekele. Unengqiqo kangakanani uVladimir Putin waseRashiya, okanye uKim Jong-un waseNorth Korea, okanye uBenjamin Netanyahu wakwaSirayeli, okanye iinkokeli zamanye amagunya enyukliya? Yaye baya kungqineka besengqiqweni kangakanani abezobupolitika abakhulayo bamazwe axhobe ngenyukliya (kuquka isityalo sokunene, iimbono zobuzwe, njengeMarine Le Pen yaseFransi)? “Uthintelo lweNyukliya,” njengoko iingcali zokhuseleko lwesizwe zaziwa kumashumi eminyaka, zinokusebenza ukuthintela iimpembelelo ezinobundlongondlongo zamagosa aphezulu kurhulumente kwezinye iimeko, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo hayi kuzo zonke.
Ngoko ke, ekuphela kwesicombululo sexesha elide kwingxaki yeenkokeli zelizwe eziqalisa imfazwe yenyukliya kukuphelisa izixhobo.
Oku yayikukuthetheleleka kwenyukliya Isivumelwano sokungabikho kwamanyathelo (NPT) yowe-1968, eyathi yenza isivumelwano phakathi kwamaqela amabini ezizwe. Phantsi kwemimiselo yayo, amazwe angeyiyo eyenyukliya avumelene ukuba angazikhi izixhobo zenyukliya, ngelixa amazwe axhobe ngenyukliya avuma ukulahla ezawo.
Nangona i-NPT iye yakudimaza ukwanda kumazwe amaninzi angeyiyo eyenyukliya yaza yakhokelela ekubeni amazwe anamandla enyukliya atshabalalise inxalenye eninzi yezixhobo zawo zenyukliya, umtsalane wezixhobo zenyukliya wasala, ubuncinane kumazwe athile alambele igunya. I-Israel, i-Indiya, iPakistan, kunye neNorth Korea zavelisa izixhobo zenyukliya, ngelixa i-United States, iRashiya kunye nezinye izizwe zenyukliya ziye zarhoxa ngokuthe ngcembe ekuchithweni kwezixhobo. Ngokwenene, onke asithoba amandla enyukliya ngoku axakeke kwiphulo elitsha umkhosi wezandla zenyukliya, kunye norhulumente wase-US kuphela eqala a $ 1 zezigidi inkqubo yenyukliya "yesimanje". Ezi zinto, kubandakanya izithembiso zikaTrump zokwakhiwa kwezixhobo ezinkulu zenyukliya, kutshanje kukhokele abahleli be I-Bulletin ye-Atomic Scientists ukuhambisa izandla zewotshi yabo edumileyo "yeDoomsday Clock" ukuya phambili 2-1/2 imizuzu ukuya ezinzulwini zobusuku, eyona ndawo iyingozi ukususela ngowe-1953.
Icatshukiswe kukuwohloka kwenkqubela phambili ebhekiselele kwihlabathi elingenazo izixhobo zenyukliya, imibutho yoluntu kunye nezizwe ezingezizo ezenyukliya ziye zadibana ukuze zicinezele ukwamkelwa kwemfazwe. isivumelwano samazwe ngamazwe esivala izixhobo zenyukliya, kanye njengezivumelwano esele zikho zokuvala izixhobo ezenziwe ngemichiza, izigcayiseli, neziqhushumbisi ezingaqhushumbisiyo. Bathi, ukuba isivumelwano esinjalo sokuvalwa kwenyukliya besingenakuziphelisa izixhobo zenyukliya, kuba amagunya enyukliya anokwala ukusityobela okanye ukusithobela. Kodwa ingenza ukuba izixhobo zenyukliya zibe ngekho mthethweni phantsi komthetho wamazwe ngamazwe kwaye, ke ngoko, njengemichiza nezinye izixhobo zokuvalwa kwezixhobo, ibeke uxinzelelo kumazwe ukuba ahambelane noluntu lonke lwehlabathi.
Eli phulo lafikelela kwinqanaba eliphezulu ngo-Okthobha wowama-2016, xa amazwe angamalungu eZizwe eziManyeneyo avotela isindululo sokuba kuqaliswe uthethathethwano ngesivumelwano sokuvala izixhobo zenyukliya. Nangona urhulumente wase-US kunye noorhulumente bamanye amagunya enyukliya baphembelela ngamandla ngokuchasene nomlinganiselo, bekunjalo yamkelwe ngevoti eninzi kakhulu: Amazwe ali-123 avumayo, angama-38 achasayo, kwaye ali-16 akavumanga. Iingxoxo zeSivumelwano zicwangciselwe ukuqala ngoMatshi 2017 kwiZizwe eziManyeneyo kwaye ziya kuqukunjelwa ekuqaleni kukaJulayi.
Xa kujongwe indlela amagunya enyukliya asebenze ngayo kwixesha elidlulileyo kunye nokulangazelela kwawo ukubambelela kwizixhobo zawo zenyukliya, kubonakala ngathi akunakwenzeka ukuba athathe inxaxheba kwiingxoxo ze-UN okanye, ukuba isivumelwano sixoxiwe kwaye sisayinwe, siya kuba phakathi kwabasayinileyo. Nakuba kunjalo, abantu bezizwe zabo nezizwe zonke babeya kuzuza lukhulu ekuyekisweni kwezizwe ngezizwe kwezixhobo zenyukliya—umlinganiselo owawuya kuthi, xa sele ukhona, uqalise inkqubo yokuhlutha amagosa elizwe igunya lawo elingeyomfuneko namandla awo okusungula intlekele yenyukliya. imfazwe.
