Izinhlangano ezizimisele ngokuphila komuntu, ubulungisa kwezomnotho, ukuvikelwa kwemvelo, ukwakhiwa komphakathi omuhle, noma konke lokhu okungenhla, kubhekana nenkinga yempi. Iminyakazo ethi ibanzi kodwa igijima imemeza kunoma yikuphi okushiwo ngenkinga yempi ayibucayi.
Ngasekupheleni kochungechunge kuhlala iningi lemizamo yezishoshovu enikelwe emaqenjini ezombusazwe ohlelweni lwepolitiki olukhohlakele. IMashi Yabesifazane, uMashi Wesimo Sezulu (okwadingeka sisebenze kanzima ukuze kuncishiswe ukukhuluma kancane kokuthula), kanye neMashi Yezimpilo Zethu azibucayi kakhulu. Nakuba i-March for Our Lives “iyimashi” yodaba olulodwa, indaba yayo iwudlame lwezibhamu, futhi abaholi bayo bakhuthaza udlame lwezempi nolwamaphoyisa kuyilapho begwema noma yikuphi ukuqashelwa kweqiniso lokuthi Ibutho Lezempi Lase-US laqeqeshela ofunda nabo ekilasini ukubulala.
Kuyakhuthaza impela ukuthi amanye amaqembu “Angabonakali” abephikisana nokuqokwa kukaTrump kwakamuva okuyinhlekelele ngokwengxenye ngezizathu zokulwa nezempi. Kodwa umuntu kufanele angabaze ukubheka emaqenjini aphikisayo ukuze abuyekeze izindinganiso zokuziphatha.
Ngasekupheleni kwe-spectrum kune-Black Lives Matter, ehlanganisa ukuhlaziywa okujulile kwezempi kanye nobudlelwano phakathi "kwezindaba" okuthiwa zihlukene phakathi kwayo yonke le minyaka. platform, kanye Nomkhankaso Wabantu Abampofu, oshicilelwe ngoLwesibili umbiko yi-Institute for Policy Studies ethatha ububi obuhlangene bokulwela impi, ubuhlanga, ukuthanda izinto ezibonakalayo okwedlulele, kanye nokucekelwa phansi kwemvelo.
“Bambalwa abakhumbulayo,” kusho umbiko, “ukuthi impi yaseVietnam yaqeda izinsiza eziningi zeMpi Yobumpofu, eyenza lukhulu kodwa eyayingenza okwengeziwe. 'Amabhomu awiswe eVietnam aqhuma ekhaya,' kusho uDkt. King. Bambalwa abasalikhumbulayo izwi lesiprofetho Lomkhankaso Wabantu Abampofu nokuthi uDkt. King washona ehlela uguquko olungenalo ubudlova ukuze kuphushe iMelika ekuziphatheni komphakathi okusekelwe othandweni. . . . [T]Umkhankaso omusha Wabantu Abampofu uzohlanganisa ndawonye abantu abavela kuzo zonke izigaba zokuphila e-National Mall eWashington futhi babeke amadolobha amakhulu ezweni lonke kusukela mhla ziyi-13 kuNhlaba kuya kumhla zingama-23 kuJuni 2018, ngaphezudlwana nje kwezinsuku ezingamashumi amane ukuze bafune ukuthi izwe lethu libone simpofu emigwaqweni yethu, sibhekane nomonakalo endaweni yethu engokwemvelo, futhi sizindle ngezifo zesizwe unyaka nonyaka sisebenzisa imali eningi ezimpini ezingapheli kunesidingo sabantu.”
Umkhankaso omusha Wabantu Abampofu uyazi ukuthi imali ikuphi.
“Isabelomali esikhona sonyaka samasosha, esiyizigidigidi ezingama-668, sinciphisa u-$190 billion esibekelwe imfundo, imisebenzi, izindlu, nezinye izinkonzo eziyisisekelo nengqalasizinda. Kuwo wonke ama-dollar asetshenziswa yi-federal discretionary, amasenti angu-53 aya kwezempi, namasenti angu-15 kuphela ezinhlelweni zokulwa nobumpofu.”
Futhi akuwelwa ngamanga okuthi imali idinga ukuba khona.
“Izimpi zaseWashington zeminyaka engu-50 edlule azihlangene kangako nokuvikela abantu baseMelika, kanti isisusa senzuzo sikhule kakhulu. Njengoba osonkontileka abazimele manje abenza izindima eziningi zezempi zendabuko, sekube cishe izikhathi eziyi-10 kunosonkontileka bezempi abaningi ngesosha ngalinye ezimpini zase-Afghanistan nase-Iraq njengoba zazikhona phakathi neMpi YaseVietnam. . . “
Umkhankaso omusha Wabantu Abampofu uqaphela amanye ama-96% abantu njengabantu nawo.
“Ukungenelela kwamasosha aseMelika kubangele isibalo esikhulu sabantu abafayo emazweni ampofu. Ngokusho kweNhlangano Yezizwe, cishe ingxenye eyodwa kwezintathu yabantu abaningi bafa e-Afghanistan phakathi nezinyanga eziyisishiyagalolunye zokuqala zika-2017 kunangaleso sikhathi esifanayo ngo-2009 lapho kuqala ukubala. . . . Impi engapheli iphinde yalimaza amasosha nabasebenzi base-US. Ngo-2012, ukuzibulala kwabulala abantu abaningi kunamasosha.
Lo mkhankaso uqaphela ukuxhumana.
“Impi yaphesheya ihambisane nokugqugquzelwa kwezempi kwemingcele yaseMelika kanye nemiphakathi empofu ezweni lonke. Amaphoyisa endawo manje ahlome ngemishini yempi njengemoto yamasosha ehlomile etshalwe eFerguson, eMissouri, ukuphendula imibhikisho mayelana nokubulawa kwamaphoyisa kwebhungu elimnyama, uMichael Brown, ngo-2014. Abesilisa abasebasha abaNsundu bathinteke kakhulu kulokhu kunyuka kwesibalo. amandla. Basemathubeni aphindwe kasishiyagalolunye okubulawa ngamaphoyisa kunabanye abantu baseMelika.”
Lo mkhankaso futhi uqaphela izinto noma iyiphi inhlangano ezinikele kwelinye lamaqembu amabili amakhulu ezombusazwe engakwazi nhlobo ukuzibona, njengalapho into edingekayo ishoda ngokuphelele:
"Ngokungafani noMongameli uDwight Eisenhower, owaxwayisa 'ngezimboni zezempi,' akekho umholi wezombusazwe wanamuhla obeka izingozi zempi kanye nomnotho wezempi enkabeni yenkulumompikiswano yomphakathi."
Ngincoma ukufunda lonke umbiko, ingxenye yezempi edingida:
umnotho wezempi nokwanda kwezempi:
"Ukwanda kwamasosha ase-US emhlabeni wonke kudala izinkinga ezinkulu, kusukela ekuhlaselweni kwabesifazane bendawo kuya ekucekeleni phansi kwemvelo kuya ekuhlanekezeleni umnotho wendawo."
ubani ohlomula ngempi kanye nokwenza amasosha abe yimfihlo:
” Izimpi zaseWashington zeminyaka engu-50 edlule azihlangene kangako nokuvikela abantu baseMelika. Kunalokho, izinhloso zabo ukuhlanganisa ukulawula kwezinkampani zase-US phezu kukawoyela, igesi, ezinye izinsiza namapayipi; ukuhlinzeka iPentagon ngezisekelo zamasosha kanye nendawo enamasu okulwa izimpi eziningi; ukugcina ukubusa kwezempi phezu kwanoma yimuphi (abaphikisi); kanye nokuqhubeka nokunikeza izizathu zemboni yezempi yaseWashington ebiza izigidigidi zamadola. . . . Umbiko ka-2005 we-Institute for Policy Studies wabonisa ukuthi phakathi kuka-2001 no-2004, ama-CEO ezinkampani ezinkulu enza isilinganiso sokukhushulwa kwamaphesenti angu-7 emiholweni yawo evele inenzuzo. Ama-CEO osonkontileka bokuvikela, nokho, akhuphuke ngamaphesenti angama-200. . . .”
uhlaka lobumpofu:
“Njengoba kwabikwa ocwaningweni lwango-2008 oluphathelene nobuhlanga, ikilasi, isimo sokuthuthela kwelinye izwe, kanye nenkonzo yezempi, 'indlela ebalulekile yokuya empini kubantu abaningi iholo lomndeni. Labo abanemali ephansi yomndeni banamathuba amaningi okuthi bajoyine amasosha kunalabo abanemali eningi yomndeni. . . .”
abesifazane kwezempi:
“[A] ukubamba iqhaza kwabesifazane kwezempi kwakhula, kanjalo nenani labesifazane abahlukunyezwa amasosha akanye nabo. Ngokusho kwedatha yakamuva ye-Veterans Administration (VA), oyedwa kwabesifazane abahlanu umakadebona utshele umhlinzeki wabo wezempilo we-VA ukuthi uke wabhekana nokuhlukumezeka ngokocansi, okuchazwa njengokuhlukunyezwa ngokocansi noma okuphindaphindiwe, okusongela ukuhlukunyezwa ngokocansi. . . . Eminyakeni emine nje ngaphambi kuka-2001, lapho iTaliban emelene nabesifazane eyeqisayo ibusa i-Afghanistan, umeluleki kawoyela we-UNOCAL uZalmay Khalilzad wamukele iTaliban e-United States ukuzoxoxa ngezivumelwano ezingase zibe khona. Ukukhathazeka okuncane noma akukho okwavezwa ngamalungelo abantu besifazane noma izimpilo zabesifazane. NgoZibandlela wezi-2001 uMongameli uGeorge W. Bush waqoka ummeleli okhethekile we-Khalilzad, kamuva waba inxusa laseMelika e-Afghanistan. Ngemuva kokuhlasela kwangoSepthemba 11, kwaba nokuhlasela okungazelelwe kokuzwakalisa ukukhathazeka mayelana nokuphathwa kweTaliban kwabesifazane base-Afghan. . . . Kepha uhulumeni ofakwe e-US owathatha isikhundla seTaliban uhlanganisa nezinduna zempi eziningi nabanye abaphikisana namalungelo abantu besifazane ngokwedlulele bengakwazi ukwehlukana nalokhu kweTaliban. "
ukwakhiwa kwezempi komphakathi:
“Uxhaso oluningi lwenhlangano luza ngezinto ezinjengohlelo lwe-'1033,' olugunyaza i-Pentagon ukuthi idlulisele izinsiza zempi nezinsiza eminyangweni yamaphoyisa endawo - ukusuka kwiziqhumane zamabhomu kuya kubathwali bezikhali - konke mahhala. . . . Nakuba izibhamu bezilokhu zinendima enkulu emlandweni namasiko e-US, kusukela ekubulaweni kwabantu boMdabu okwatholakala ekunqobeni izwekazi lase-Europe kanye nokugqilazwa kwabantu abamnyama base-Afrika, izibhamu sezidlange kakhulu kunangaphambili.”
izindleko zomuntu nezokuziphatha:
“Imifudlana yabantu abaphelelwe ithemba abafuna isiphephelo ngaphesheya kolwandle noma emhlabeni wonke isiphenduke uzamcolo. E-United States ngaphezu kwanoma iyiphi enye indawo, labo bantu baye bahlangabezwana nokuhlaselwa kobandlululo, ukwenqatshwa kwabokufika, nokuvinjelwa kathathu kwamaSulumane. . . . Ngaleso sikhathi, abantu abampofu emhlabeni wonke bayaqhubeka nokukhokha inani elikhulu lezimpi zase-US. Ngesikhathi sezempi yase-US kwamanye amazwe amadolobha, amazwe kanye nenani labantu bonke bayahlupheka, kuyilapho bebhebhezela intukuthelo enkulu futhi bekhuthaza ukuqashwa kwezizukulwane ezintsha zama-anti-US fighters. Ngisho naseminyakeni yokuqala yeMpi Yomhlaba Wonke Yobushokobezi, izikhulu zezempi zase-US zabona ukuthi ukuhlasela kwamasosha nokubathatha kwabantu kwadala ubuphekula obuningi kunalokho obabuqeda.”
Cabanga ngomnyakazo wezindaba ongenalo udlame ohlanganisa izindaba eziningi onalolu hlobo lokuqonda isihloko esingeke saqanjwa ngalo.
Yilokhu esizokudinga ukuza ngomhlaka-11 Novemba ukuze sithathe indawo ye-Trump Weapons Day Usuku lwe-Armistice.

Yebo pro Peace. hhayi anti War.
Kumele afundise i-Peacebuilding. Futhi wenze kube nenzuzo futhi!.
Isitatimende simi njengoba sinjalo.
Kwabaningi, amasosha angaba yithuba lawo kuphela lokuphuma ebuphofini obungenathemba, ezweni eliyinkulungwane yesine lingene esihogweni esisodwa sempi yabampofu. Inikeza okungenani ithuba lokuthola imfundo ephakeme nokuqeqeshwa kwamakhono okudingekayo ukuze uthole umsebenzi ozinzile ngokuqhathaniswa. Abantu kufanele bazinqumele ukuthi ingozi yokufa empini ingcono noma imbi kakhulu kunokufela emigwaqweni/kusukela kumthelela wesikhathi eside wobumpofu.
Iningi labantu abafa ngenxa yokubamba iqhaza ezimpini zase-US bafa ngenxa yokuzibulala, ngoba abayona i-sociopathic njengoba lokhu kuphawula kubenza bazwakale. Kunemiphumela yokuziphatha kuleso sihluku sokubala. Ukungalungi kanye nesihluku sobubha kudala isimo kodwa akukwenzi kube okunye ngaphandle kwalokhu esiyikho.
