Ukufundisa nokukhumbuza abantu ngezindleko zangempela zempi kungumsebenzi oyinhloko wamaVeterans For Peace. Siyajabula ukuba nguzakwethu kulo mzamo ngu World BEYOND War. "

"Empikiswaneni eyinhloko kamongameli yakamuva ye-CNN, njengoba kujwayelekile," esho, "omengameli babuza abazobhapathizwa ukuthi yimiphi imiklamo ehlukahlukene ezobiza nokuthi bazokhokhelwa kanjani, kodwa balahlekelwa yinzalo yezindleko uma kukhulunywa ngemibuzo impi. Into eyodwa enkulu kunazo zonke kwisabelomali sokuzikhethela senhlangano, ethatha ngaphezu kwengxenye yayo iyodwa, mhlawumbe yinto okungaxoxwa ngayo kakhulu: ukusetshenziswa kwempi. ”

UJim Carpenter, othintana nabakwaProgressive Democrats of America, uthe ukholelwa ekutheni uSenator uBernie Sanders uqinisile uma ethi kumele “sihlanganise abaholi bezizwe ezinkulu zezimboni ngenhloso yokusebenzisa izigidigidi zamadola amazwe ethu awasebenzisayo ezimpini ezilahlekile kanye nezikhali zokubhujiswa okukhulu ukuze sisebenzisane ndawonye emhlabeni wonke ukulwa nezinkinga zethu zezulu kanye nokuthatha imboni kaphethiloli. Sibekwe ngokukhethekile ukuhola umhlaba ngokususa ezempi. ”

Kusukela ngonyaka ka-2019, isabelomali sonyaka sePentagon, isabelomali sempi, kanye nezikhali zenuzi eMnyangweni wezaMandla, kanye nemali esetshenziselwa ezempi nguMnyango Wezokuphepha Kwasekhaya, kanye nenzalo ekusetshenzisweni kwemali esetshenziselwa ezempi, nokunye ukusetshenziswa kwezempi kufinyelela kuma- $ 1.25 trillion (njengoba ibalwa nguWilliam Hartung nabaningi uSmithberger).

I-Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors ngonyaka ka-2019 idlulise isinqumo esifunda ngokwengxenye:

"NJENGOBA, iCongress kufanele ibeke kabusha indawo yezempi ezisebenzelana nezidingo zomuntu nezemvelo: usizo ngenhloso yokuhlinzeka ngemfundo yamahhala, ephakeme kusuka esikoleni sokuqala ngaphambi kwekolishi, ukuqeda indlala yomhlaba, ukuguqula i-United States amandla ahlanzekile, ukuhlinzeka ngamanzi okuphuza ahlanzekile yonke indawo lapho kudingeka khona , bakhe izitimela ezinejubane eliphakeme phakathi kwawo wonke amadolobha amakhulu ase-US, axhase ngemali uhlelo lokuqashwa ngokugcwele, kanye nosizo lwangaphandle olungezona ezempi. ”

“Qeda indlala emhlabeni,” kusho uSwanson, “kuyinto eyodwa nje encane ohlwini lwalokho okungenzeka ngokuqondisa kabusha ingxenye yemali esetshenziswayo eyonakalisayo futhi engakhiqizi. Kodwa-ke, kungadala ushintsho olukhulu kunqubomgomo yezangaphandle. Cabanga ukuthi umhlaba ubungacabangani nge-United States, ukube beyaziwa njengezwe eliqeda indlala emhlabeni. Ukwehla kobutha kungaba mkhulu kakhulu. ”

World BEYOND War uchaza amaphesenti amathathu ngale ndlela:

Ku-2008, iZizwe Ezihlangene wathi leyo $ 30 billion ngonyaka ingaqeda ukulamba emhlabeni, njengoba kubikiwe ku New York Times, Los Angeles Times, nezinye izitolo eziningi.

Ngakho-ke, amaphesenti amathathu ukulinganisa okulondoloziwe kokungadingeka. Njengoba kuphawuliwe ebhodini lokukhokha, lokhu kuchazwa ngemininingwane ethile ku-worldbeyondwar.org/explained.
