Ngexesha leWWI uMkhosi wase-US wasebenzisa umhlaba ngoku oyinxalenye yekhampasi apha kwiYunivesithi yaseMelika ukwenza kunye nokuvavanya izixhobo zekhemikhali. Yandula ke yangcwaba oko uKarl Rove wayenokukubiza ngokuba ziimfumba ezikhulu ngaphantsi komhlaba, yashiya, yaza yalibala ngazo, de iqela labakhi lazityhila ngowe-1993. Enye indawo uMkhosi wasebenzisa irhasi yokukrazula yayikumagqala awo xa ebuyela eDC ukuya kufuna iibhonasi. Kwandula ke, ebudeni bemfazwe yehlabathi yesibini, umkhosi waseUnited States walahla izixa ezikhulu zezixhobo zemichiza kulwandlekazi lweAtlantiki nolwePasifiki. Ngowe-1943 iibhombu zaseJamani zatshonisa inqanawa yaseMelika eBari, eItali, eyayithwele ngokufihlakeleyo isigidi seeponti zegesi yemostade. Uninzi koomatiloshe base-US babulawa yityhefu, eyathi i-United States iyayisebenzisa njengesithintelo, nangona andicingi ukuba ikhe yachaza ukuba into inqanda njani ngelixa igcinwe iyimfihlo. Loo nqanawa kulindeleke ukuba iqhubeke ivuza igesi elwandle kangangeenkulungwane. Ngeli xesha iUnited States neJapan zishiye iinqanawa ezingaphezu kwe-1,000 kumgangatho wePasifiki, kuquka neetanki zamafutha.
Ndikhankanya iityhefu zomkhosi kwindawo ekufutshane hayi njengento ekhethekileyo, kodwa ngakumbi njengesiqhelo. Kukho iindawo ezintandathu ze-Superfund ezinetyhefu kuMlambo wasePotomac, njengoko uPat Elder uye waphawula, nayo yonke into esuka kwi-Acetone, i-Alkaline, i-Arsenic, kunye ne-Anthrax ukuya kwi-Vinyl Chloride, i-Xlene, kunye ne-Zinc. Zonke iziza ezintandathu ziziseko zomkhosi wase-US. Ngapha koko, i-69 yepesenti ye-Superfund yeendawo zentlekele yokusingqongileyo ejikeleze i-United States yimikhosi yase-US. Kwaye eli lilizwe ekucingelwa ukuba lenza “inkonzo” ethile. Into eyenziwa ngumkhosi wase-US kunye neminye imikhosi emhlabeni jikelele ayinakuqondakala okanye ayiqondi.
Umkhosi wase-US ngowona mthengi uphezulu wepetroleum ngeenxa zonke, etshisa ngaphezu kwamazwe amaninzi. Mhlawumbi ndizakutsiba uMkhosi wase-US oza kumgama weemayile ezili-10 e-DC apho abantu baya kuba “Baleqa Amanzi acocekileyo” - amanzi e-Uganda. Ngeqhezu nje leCongress esanda kwandisa inkcitho yasemkhosini yase-US, sinokuphelisa ukunqongophala kwamanzi acocekileyo kuyo yonke indawo emhlabeni. Kwaye naluphi na uhlanga kwi-DC belufanele luhlale kude nemilambo ukuba alufuni ukudibana nento eyenziwa nguMkhosi wase-US emanzini.
Yintoni imfazwe kunye namalungiselelo emfazwe ayenzayo emhlabeni ibisoloko ingumxholo onzima ukufikelela kuwo. Kutheni abo bakhathalele umhlaba befuna ukuthatha iziko elithandekayo nelikhuthazayo elisizisele iVietnam, i-Iraq, indlala e-Yemen, intuthumbo eGuantanamo, kunye neminyaka eyi-16 yokuxhela kakubi e-Afghanistan - singasathethi ke ngobuchule obukhazimlayo bukaMongameli. UDonald J. Trump? Kwaye kutheni abo bachasa ukubulawa kwabantu abaninzi bafuna ukutshintsha umxholo ekugawulweni kwamahlathi kunye nemijelo enetyhefu kwaye zeziphi izixhobo zenyukliya ezizenzayo emhlabeni?
Kodwa inyani yeyokuba, ukuba imfazwe ibinokuziphatha, isemthethweni, ikhusela, iluncedo ekusasazweni kwenkululeko, kwaye ingabizi, besiya kunyanzeleka ukuba siyiphelise eyona nto iphambili kuthi ngenxa yentshabalalo eyenziwa yimfazwe kunye namalungiselelo emfazwe. abangcolisi bendalo esingqongileyo.
Ngelixa ukuguqukela kwizenzo ezizinzileyo kunokuzihlawulela ukonga ukhathalelo lwempilo, imali yokwenza oko, ngamaxesha amaninzi, kuhlahlo lwabiwo-mali lomkhosi wase-US. Inkqubo enye yenqwelomoya, iF-35, inokurhoxiswa kunye nemali esetyenzisiweyo ukuguqula ikhaya ngalinye eUnited States libe namandla acocekileyo.
Asizi kusindisa imozulu yomhlaba wethu njengabantu ngabanye. Sifuna iinzame ezilungelelanisiweyo zehlabathi. Indawo kuphela apho izibonelelo zinokufunyanwa khona emkhosini. Ubutyebi boosozigidi abuqali kwaukukhuphisana nabo. Kwaye ukuyisusa emkhosini, nangaphandle kokwenza enye into ngayo, yeyona nto ilungileyo esinokuyenzela umhlaba.
Ubuhlanya benkcubeko yemfazwe bufumene abantu abathile ukuba bacinge ngemfazwe yenyukliya elinganiselweyo, ngelixa izazinzulu zithi i-nuke enye inokutyhala utshintsho lwemozulu ngaphaya kwalo lonke ithemba, kwaye abambalwa banokusilambisa ukuba singabikho. Inkcubeko yoxolo nozinzo yimpendulo.
Iphulo laphambi komongameli uDonald Trump watyikitya ileta eyapapashwa nge-6 kaDisemba 2009, kwiphepha lesi-8 ENew York Times, ileta eya kuMongameli Obama ethi utshintsho lwemozulu lucelomngeni olukhawulezileyo. Yathi: “Nceda ungawuhlehlisi umhlaba. "Ukuba siyasilela ukwenza ngoku, ayinakuphikiswa ngokwesayensi ukuba kuya kubakho intlekele kunye nemiphumo engenakulungiseka eluntwini nakwiplanethi yethu."
Phakathi kwemibutho eyamkelayo okanye ekhuthaza imfazwe, loo miphumo yokutshatyalaliswa kwendalo iya kubandakanya imfazwe engakumbi. Ngokuqinisekileyo bubuxoki kwaye buzoyisa ukucebisa ukuba utshintsho lwemozulu ludala nje imfazwe ngokungabikho kwayo nayiphi na iarhente yabantu. Akukho lunxulumano phakathi kokunqongophala kwezixhobo kunye nemfazwe, okanye ukutshatyalaliswa kwendalo kunye nemfazwe. Kukho, nangona kunjalo, unxibelelwano phakathi kokwamkelwa kwemfazwe nemfazwe. Kwaye eli hlabathi, kwaye ngokukodwa iindawo ezithile zalo, kubandakanywa ne-United States, yamkela imfazwe kakhulu - njengoko kubonakaliswe kwinkolelo yokungabikho kwayo.
Iimfazwe ezivelisa ukutshatyalaliswa kokusingqongileyo kunye nokufuduka kwabantu abaninzi, ukuvelisa iimfazwe ezininzi, ukuvelisa ukutshatyalaliswa okungaphezulu ngumjikelo okhohlakeleyo ekufuneka siphume kuwo ngokukhusela okusingqongileyo kunye nokuphelisa imfazwe.
