Seattle, WA, Juni 7, 2021: Izishoshovu ziphethe isibhengezo nezimpawu zomgwaqo omkhulu omatasa waseSeattle ngesikhathi sokuhamba ekuseni ukukhumbuza abantu ngokubaluleka kokuqeda izikhali zenuzi.
Ukuqala ngoJuni 7th, nokuqhubeka kulo lonke ihlobo, izishoshovu ezine-Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action zivimbela i-Interstate 5, kwi-NE 45th overcrossing, nemiyalezo egcizelela okubalulekile Qeda Izikhali Zenuzi. Izishoshovu zihlela ukufaka isibhengezo njalo ngoMsombuluko phakathi kuka-8: 00 no-9: 00 ekuseni ku-NE 45th Street.
Ngesikhathi lapho iMpi Yomshoshaphansi entsha, engabandakanyi i-US neRussia kuphela, kepha neChina, isifudumeza, ukuvinjelwa kuhloselwe ukukhumbuza izakhamizi zePuget Sound ukuthi zamukele indima nezibopho zazo - njengabakhokhi bentela, njengamalungu entando yeningi umphakathi, futhi njengabomakhelwane besikhungo sangaphansi kwamatilosi enuzi iTrident eHood Canal –ukusebenzela ukuvimbela ukusetshenziswa kwezikhali zenuzi.
INavy Base Kitsap-Bangor, ebangeni elingamakhilomitha angama-20 entshonalanga yeSeattle, iyikhaya lasekhaya eliya emakamu amakhulu asetshenzisiwe e-US Izimpi zenuzi zithunyelwe eTrident Imicibisholo engu-D-5 on Amasosha angaphansi komhlaba we-SSBN futhi zigcinwa ngaphansi komhlaba indawo yokugcina izikhali zenuzi kwisisekelo.
Kunemigwaqo engaphansi eyisishiyagalombili yeTrident SSBN esetshenziswe kuyo Bangor. Imigwaqo eyisithupha eyisithupha yeStanger ye-SSBN isetshenziswa ogwini lwase-East Coast eKing Bay Bay, Georgia.
Umkhumbi owodwa we-Trident uphethe amabutho abhubhisayo angaphezu kwamabhomu we-1,200 Hiroshima (ibhomu le-Hiroshima lalingamakhilogrethi e-15).
Umkhumbi-ngwenya ngamunye weTrident ekuqaleni wawuhlonyiselwe imicibisholo engama-24 eTrident. Ngo-2015-2017 amashubhu omcibisholo amane akhutshazwa kulolwasemanzini ngalunye ngenxa Yesivumelwano Esisha SOKUQALA. Njengamanje, i-Trident submarine ngayinye ithumela ngemicibisholo engama-20 D-5 kanye nemicibisholo yempi yenuzi engaba ngu-90 (isilinganiso samakhanda empi angu-4-5 ngomcibisholo ngamunye). Ama-warheads angaba yi-W76-1 90-kiloton noma i-W88 455-kiloton warheads.
I-Navy ekuqaleni kuka-2020 yaqala ukuthumela entsha I-W76-2 i-warhead yesivuno esiphansi (cishe amakhilogremu ayisishiyagalombili) kumicibisholo ekhethiwe yemikhumbi-ngwenya e-Bangor (kulandela ukuthunyelwa kokuqala e-Atlantic ngoDisemba 2019). Ikhanda lempi lathunyelwa ukuvimbela ukusetshenziswa kokuqala kwezikhali zenuzi zaseRussia, okuyingozi ukudala i umkhawulo ophansi ukusetshenziswa kwezikhali zamandla zenuzi zase-US.
Noma yikuphi ukusetshenziswa kwe izikhali zenuzi ngokumelene nomunye umbuso wezikhali zenuzi kungenzeka uvuse impendulo ngezikhali zenuzi, kubangele ukufa okukhulu nokubhujiswa. Ngaphandle kwe- imiphumela eqondile kubaphikisi, ukuwa okunemisebe ehambisanayo kuzothinta abantu bakwezinye izizwe. Umthelela womhlaba wonke womuntu kanye nomnotho ubungeke ube ngaphezu kokucatshangwa, kanye nemiyalo yobukhulu ngaphezu kwemiphumela yesifo se-coronavirus.
Isibopho somphakathi nezikhali zenuzi
Ukuba seduze kwethu nenani elikhulu kakhulu lezikhali zenuzi ezisetshenzisiwe kusibeka eduze kosongo oluyingozi lwasekhaya nakwamanye amazwe. Isifunda sePuget Sound sizoba yinto ebhekiswe kakhulu ekuhlaselweni kwenuzi, okungahle kudale umonakalo ophelele nongaphendulwanga muntu. Lapho izakhamizi ziqaphela indima yazo ethembeni lempi yenuzi, noma ubungozi bengozi yenuzi, nemiphumela, inkinga ayisabi yinto ewumbono. Ukusondela kwethu eBangor kudinga impendulo ejulile.
Izakhamizi zentando yeningi nazo zinezibopho – okubandakanya ukukhetha abaholi bethu nokuhlala unolwazi ngalokho okwenziwa uhulumeni wethu. Isizinda sangaphansi kolwandle eBangor singamakhilomitha angama-20 ukusuka enkabeni yedolobha iSeattle, kepha amaphesenti amancane kuphela ezakhamizi esifundeni sethu awaziyo ukuthi i-Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor ikhona.
Izakhamizi zaseWashington State zihlala zikhetha izikhulu zikahulumeni ezisekela izikhali zenuzi eWashington State. Ngama-1970s, uSenator uHenry Jackson waqinisekisa iPentagon ukuthi ithole isikebhe sangaphansi kolwandle iTrident kuHood Canal, kuyilapho uSenator uWarren Magnuson ethola imali yemigwaqo neminye imithelela ebangelwe yisisekelo seTrident. Umkhumbi-ngwenya weTrident okuwukuphela kwawo ozoqanjwa ngegama lomuntu (kanye nowayengumphathi weSenator Wethu WaseWashington) yi USS UHenry M. Jackson (SSBN-730), lasekhaya e-Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor.
Ngo-2012, iWashington State yasungula i I-Washington Military Alliance (WMA), ephakanyiswe kakhulu yibo bobabili uGrigren Gregoire no-Inslee. I-WMA, uMnyango Wezokuvikela, nezinye izinhlaka zikahulumeni zisebenza ukuqinisa iqhaza le Uhulumeni waseWashington njenge "...Ipulatifomu Yokubona Amandla (Strategic Ports, Rail, Roads, and Airports) [nomoya] ohambisanayo, umhlaba, nezingxenye zasolwandle ukufeza lokhu kuthunyelwa. ” Futhi bona "amandla kagesi. "
INaval Base Kitsap-Bangor kanye nohlelo lwangaphansi kolwandle iTrident kuye kwavela selokhu umkhumbi wamanzi wokuqala weTrident wafika ngo-Agasti 1982. isisekelo sithuthukisiwe kumcibisholo omkhulu kakhulu we-D-5 onenhloko yempi enkulu ye-W88 (455 kiloton), ngokuqhubeka kwesimanjemanje kwezindlela zokuqondisa imicibisholo nezinhlelo zokulawula. I-Navy isanda kufaka abancane I-W76-2"Isivuno esiphansi" noma isikhali se-nyukleyitha (cishe amakhilogremu ayisishiyagalombili) kwimicibisholo ekhethiwe engaphansi komkhumbi e-Bangor, okwenza ingozi ephansi yokusebenzisa izikhali zenuzi.
Izinkinga ezinkulu
* I-US ichitha imali ethe xaxa izikhali zenuzi izinhlelo kunangesikhathi sokuphakama kweMpi Yomshoshaphansi.
* Okwamanje i-US ihlela ukusebenzisa imali ecatshangelwe $ 1.7 isigidintathu iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-30 yokwakha kabusha izikhungo zezwe zenuzi nokwakha izikhali zenuzi zesimanje.
* I-New York Times ibike ukuthi i-US, Russia kanye China baphishekela ngesihluku isizukulwane esisha sezikhali zenuzi ezincane nezingacekeli phansi.

Kokubili ukuphuculwa kwezikhali zenuzi zaseChina kanye naseRussia kungabonakala njengempendulo ekuthuthukisweni okuqhubekayo kwe-US ezinhlelweni ezikhona zezikhali zenuzi kanye nezinhlelo zezinhlelo ezintsha (ezizongena esikhundleni). Njengamanje i-US iqhubekela phambili ngohlelo lokufaka esikhundleni se-Columbia Class lwemikhumbi yemikhumbi yemikhumbi ekhona ekhona ye-OHIO Class.

* Asikho nesisodwa isifundazwe sezikhali zenuzi esikhombise ukuxhasa iSivumelwano Sokuvinjelwa Kwezikhali ZaseNyukliya, futhi i-US yanxusa amazwe ezikhali ezingezona ezenuzi ukuba ahoxise ukuxhasa kwawo lesi sivumelwano.
* I-US Navy ithi I-SSBN Imikhumbi-ngwenya ehamba ngezinyawo ihlinzeka i-US “ngesiteleka sayo esisinda kakhulu futhi esihlala njalo.” Kodwa-ke, ama-SSBN ethekwini nasenhloko yempi yenuzi egcinwe e-SWFPAC kungenzeka kube yinto yokuqala ebhekiswe empini yenuzi. Google izithombe kusuka ngo-2018 kukhombisa ama-subtrami amathathu e-SSBN emgodini wamanzi waseHood Canal.

Yonke imisebenzi yokuphatha imicibisholo e-SWFPAC yamiswa amasonto ayisishiyagalolunye kuze kube kuthiwa uBangor uphatha izikhali zenuzi. Abaphathi abathathu abaphezulu badutshulwa, kepha umphakathi awuzange waziswe kuze kube yilapho imininingwane isithola kwabezindaba ngoMashi 2004.
* Izimpendulo zomphakathi ezivela kwizikhulu zikahulumeni ezenzakalelayo ngengozi yemicibisholo ka-2003 ngokuvamile zazisesimweni se Ukumangala futhi ukudumala.
* Ngenxa yezinhlelo zesimanje eziqhubekayo nezinhlelo zokulungisa izimpi eziseBangor, izimpi zenuzi zithunyelwa njalo ngamaloli angamakiwe phakathi koMnyango Wezamandla i-Pantex Plant ngase-Amarillo, eTexas naseBangor base. Ngokungafani neNavy eBangor, i- DOE ikhuthaza ngenkuthalo ukulungiswa kwezimo eziphuthumayo.
Izikhali zenuzi nokumelana
Ngawo-1970 nawo-1980, izinkulungwane zabonisa ukulwa nezikhali zenuzi endaweni yaseBangor futhi amakhulu baboshwa. Seattle UMbhishobhi Hunthausen umemezele isisekelo semikhumbi engaphansi komhlaba iBangor “I-Auschwitz yePuget Sound” kwathi ngo-1982 waqala ukubamba inxenye yentela yakhe yobumbano ukubhikisha "Ukuqhubeka kwesizwe sethu emzabalazweni wokuphakama kwezikhali zenuzi."
Umkhumbi-ngwenya owodwa we-Trident SSBN eBangor ulinganiselwa ukuthi uphethe amakhanda ezempi enuzi angama-90. Izimpi ze-W76 ne-W88 eBangor ziyalingana ngokulandelana kuma-kilotons angama-90 kanye nama-kilotoni angama-455 we-TNT emandleni okubhubhisa.

Uthe amandla enuzi "... kumele ube nesibindi sokubalekela ukwesaba okunengqondo, futhi uphishekele izwe ngaphandle kwabo." U-Obama wengeze, "Kumelwe sishintshe ingqondo yethu mayelana nempi ngokwayo." Eminyakeni engaphambi kwalokho, uMongameli uRonald Reagan wabuza ukubaluleka kwezikhali zenuzi: "Impi yenuzi ayikwazi ukunqotshwa futhi akumele yalwiwa. Okuwukuphela kwenani ezizweni zethu ezimbili ezinezikhali zenuzi ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ngeke zisasetshenziswa. Kodwa ngabe bekungeke kube ngcono yini ukubabulala ngokuphelele? ”
