Kungani iCanada kungafanele ithenge ama-F-35?

I-F-35 ayilona ithuluzi lokuthula noma ngisho nelokuvikela amasosha. Kuyindiza ecashile, ehlaselayo, ekwazi izikhali zenuzi eyenzelwe ukuhlasela okuzumayo enamandla okwethula noma ukubhebhethekisa izimpi ngamabomu noma ngephutha, okuhlanganisa impi yenuzi. Eyokuhlasela amadolobha, hhayi nje ezinye izindiza.

I-F-35 ingesinye sezikhali ezinomlando omubi kakhulu wokwehluleka ukwenza njengoba bekuhlosiwe futhi kudinga ukulungiswa okumba eqolo. Iphahlazeka kakhulu, kube nemiphumela esabekayo kulabo abahlala endaweni. Nakuba amajethi amadala enziwe nge-aluminium, i-F-35 yenziwe ngezinto eziyinhlanganisela yezempi enoqweqwe olucashile olukhipha amakhemikhali anobuthi obukhulu, izinhlayiya, nemicu lapho kubaswa. Amakhemikhali asetshenziswa ukucisha nokuzijwayeza ukucisha umlilo anobuthi emanzini endawo.

Ngisho noma ingaphahlazeki, i-F-35 ikhiqiza umsindo obangela imithelela emibi yezempilo kanye nokukhubazeka kwengqondo (ukulimala kobuchopho) ezinganeni ezihlala eduze nezisekelo lapho abashayeli bezindiza beziqeqeshela ukuyindiza. Inikeza izindlu eziseduze nezikhumulo zezindiza zingafanelekile ukusetshenziswa njengezindawo zokuhlala. Ukukhishwa kwayo kungumngcolisi omkhulu wemvelo.

Ukuthenga umkhiqizo omubi kangaka ngokulalela ingcindezi yase-US kwenza iCanada ithobele uhulumeni wase-US ohlanyiswa yimpi. I-F-35 idinga ukuxhumana kwesathelayithi yase-US, kanye nokulungiswa, ukuthuthukiswa, nokulungiswa kwe-US/Lockheed-Martin. ICanada izolwa nezimpi zakwamanye amazwe ezinolaka i-US ezifuna yona, noma azikho izimpi nhlobo. Ukube i-US ibingamisa kafushane ukunikezwa kwamathayi ejethi eSaudi Arabia, impi yaseYemen izophela, kodwa iSaudi Arabia iyaqhubeka nokuthenga izikhali, ikhokhela ngisho nehhovisi lase-US labathengisi bezikhali elisebenza unomphela eSaudi Arabia ukuyithengisa izikhali eziningi. . Futhi i-US igcina amathayi eza ngenkathi ikhuluma ngokuthula. Ingabe lobo budlelwano obufunwa yiCanada?

U-$19 billion wokuthenga ama-88 F-35s ugxumela ku-$77 billion phakathi neminyaka ethile ngokwengeza ezindlekweni zokusebenza, ukunakekela, futhi ekugcineni ukulahla izinto ezimbi kakhulu, kodwa nokho izindleko ezengeziwe zingabalwa.

Kungani iCanada kungafanele ithenge noma yiziphi izindiza zokulwa?

Inhloso yezindiza zempi (yanoma yiluphi uhlobo) ukuwisa amabhomu futhi kubulawe abantu (futhi okwesibili kuphela ukudlala kumafilimu e-Hollywood okuqasha). Izindiza zamanje zaseCanada ze-CF-18 fighter jets zichithe amashumi ambalwa eminyaka edlule ziqhumisa amabhomu e-Iraq (1991), Serbia (1999), Libya (2011), Syria and Iraq (2014-2016), kanye nezindiza ezivusa inkanuko emngceleni waseRussia (2014- 2021). Lezi zenzo zibulale, zalimaza, zahlukumeza, zashiya dengwane futhi zenza izitha zenani elikhulu labantu. Akukho nokukodwa kwalokhu kusebenza okuzuzise abaseduze nayo, abahlala eCanada, noma esintwini, noma eMhlabeni.

UTom Cruise washo lokhu eminyakeni engu-32 edlule ezweni elineminyaka engama-32 embalwa yezempi evamile: “Kulungile, abanye abantu babenomuzwa wokuthi. Top Gun kwakuyifilimu ephiko kwesokudla ukukhuthaza iNavy. Futhi izingane eziningi zazikuthanda. Kodwa ngifuna izingane zazi ukuthi leyo akuyona indlela impi eyiyo—ukuthi i-Top Gun bekuwuhambo nje lwepaki yokuzijabulisa, ifilimu ejabulisayo enesilinganiso se-PG-13 obekungamele sibe ngokoqobo. Yingakho ngingaqhubekanga ngenza i-Top Gun II ne-III kanye ne-IV kanye ne-V. Lokho bekuyoba ukunganaki.”

I-F-35 (njenganoma iyiphi enye indiza yokulwa) ishisa amalitha kaphethiloli angu-5,600 ngehora futhi ingase ife ngemva kwamahora angu-2,100 kodwa kufanele indize amahora angu-8,000 okungasho ukushisa amalitha angu-44,800,000 kaphethiloli wendiza. Uphethiloli weJet mubi kakhulu esimweni sezulu kunalokho oshiswa yimoto, kodwa ngokufanele, ngo-2020, amalitha kaphethiloli ayi-1,081 athengiswa eCanada ngemoto ngayinye ebhalisiwe, okusho ukuthi ungathatha izimoto ezingama-41,443 emgwaqeni unyaka noma ubuyise. i-F-35 eyodwa enenzuzo elinganayo kuMhlaba, noma ibuyisele wonke ama-88 F-35 okungalingana nokuthatha izimoto ezingu-3,646,993 emigwaqweni yase-Canada unyaka wonke - okungaphezu kuka-10% wezimoto ezibhaliswe e-Canada.

Ngo-$11 billion ngonyaka unganikeza umhlaba ngamanzi okuphuza ahlanzekile. Ngo-$30 billion ngonyaka ungaqeda indlala eMhlabeni. Ngakho-ke, ukusebenzisa amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-19 emishinini yokubulala kubulala kuqala ngokungayisebenzisi lapho idingeka khona. NgamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-19, iCanada ingaba nezikole zamabanga aphansi ezingu-575 noma amaphaneli elanga angu-380,000, noma ezinye izinto eziningi ezibalulekile neziwusizo. Futhi umthelela wezomnotho mubi kakhulu, ngoba ukusetshenziswa kwezempi (ngisho noma imali yahlala eCanada kunokuya eMaryland) idonsa umnotho futhi inciphisa imisebenzi kunokukhuphula umnotho nokwengeza imisebenzi njengoba ezinye izinhlobo zezindleko zenza.

Ukuthenga amajethi kususa imali ekubhekaneni nezinkinga zokuwohloka kwemvelo, ingozi yezinhlekelele zenuzi, izifo eziwubhadane, ukungabi namakhaya, nobumpofu, futhi kubeka leyo mali kokuthile okungenakuzivikela nhlobo kunoma iyiphi yalezi zinto noma ngokumelene nempi. I-F-35 ingavusa amabhomu amaphekula noma ukuhlasela kwemicibisholo kodwa ingenzi lutho ukuwavimba.

Kungani iCanada kungafanele ithenge izikhali?

OwayeyiPhini likaNgqongqoshe Wezokuvikela kuzwelonke uCharles Nixon uphikisene ngokuthi iCanada ayizidingi izindiza zempi ngoba ayibhekene nosongo oluthembekile futhi izindiza azidingeki ukuvikela izwe. Lokhu kuyiqiniso, kodwa kuyiqiniso nasezisekelweni zaseCanada ezilingisa i-US e-Jamaica, Senegal, Germany, nase-Kuwait, futhi kuyiqiniso nangamasosha amaningi aseCanada ngisho nangemibandela yawo.

Kodwa lapho sifunda umlando wezimpi kanye nezishoshovu ezingenabudlova, sithola ukuthi noma ngabe iCanada ibhekane nosongo oluthile, amasosha ngeke abe yithuluzi elingcono kakhulu lokubhekana nakho - empeleni, ubungozi bezempi budala usongo oluthembekile lapho kukhona khona. akukho. Uma iCanada ifuna ukudala ubutha bomhlaba wonke ngendlela amasosha ase-US enze ngayo, idinga kuphela ukuqhubeka nokulingisa umakhelwane wayo oseningizimu.

Kubalulekile ukunqoba noma iyiphi inkohliso yokuthi umsebenzi wamaphoyisa womhlaba wonke kanye nezikhali ezikhanyayo zihlenga ngokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu noma ukuhlonyiswa okubizwa ngokuthi ukugcinwa kokuthula kuyaziswa noma kuyintando yeningi. Ukugcinwa kokuthula okungahlomile akufakanga nje ukuthi kusebenza kangcono kunenguqulo ehlomile (buka ifilimu ebizwa Amasosha Ngaphandle Kwezibhamu esethulweni sokugcina ukuthula okungahlomile), kodwa futhi kuyathakazelelwa ngabantu lapho kwenziwa khona kunabantu abakude okwenziwa egameni labo. Angazi ngokuvota eCanada, kodwa e-US abantu abaningi bacabanga izindawo lapho amabhomu ase-US ehlasela futhi ehlasela khona ukuze abonge ngakho, kuyilapho ukuvota kulezo zindawo kusikisela okuphambene nalokho.

Lesi sithombe sengxenye yewebhusayithi worldbeyondwar.org. Lezo zinkinobho zixhuma ezincazelweni zokuthi kungani izimpi zingafaneleki nokuthi kungani izimpi kufanele ziqedwe. Abanye babo bathathela ocwaningweni oluye lwabonisa ukuthi izenzo ezingenabo ubudlova, okuhlanganisa ngokumelene nokuhlasela kanye nemisebenzi kanye nokuketula umbuso, zibonakale ziphumelela kakhulu, ngalezo mpumelelo ngokuvamile ezithatha isikhathi eside, kunalokho okuye kwafezwa ubudlova.

Wonke umkhakha wokufunda - wezishoshovu ezingenalo ubudlova, idiplomacy, ukubambisana kwamazwe ngamazwe kanye nomthetho, ukukhishwa kwezikhali, nokuvikela umphakathi ongahlomile - ngokuvamile awufakwa ezincwadini zesikole kanye nemibiko yezindaba zezinkampani. Kufanele sazi ukuthi iRussia ayikaze ihlasele iLithuania, iLatvia, ne-Estonia ngoba ingamalungu e-NATO, kodwa hhayi ukwazi ukuthi lawo mazwe axosha amasosha aseSoviet esebenzisa izikhali ezincane ezilethwa umMelika wakho ojwayelekile ohambeni lokuthenga - ngo. Eqinisweni azikho nhlobo izikhali, ngamathangi azungezile ngokungenabudlova nokucula. Kungani ingaziwa into eyinqaba neyisimangaliso? Kuyisinqumo esenzelwe thina. Iqhinga liwukuba sizikhethele thina esingakwazi, okuncike ekutholeni ukuthi yini ekhona sifunde futhi sitshele abanye.

Kungani iCanada kungafanele ithengise izikhali?

Ukuhweba ngezikhali kuyirakhethi ehlekisayo. Ngaphandle kweRussia ne-Ukraine, cishe awekho amazwe alwayo futhi akhiqiza izikhali. Eqinisweni, izikhali eziningi zivela emazweni ambalwa kakhulu. ICanada akuyona enye yazo, kepha isisondele ekungeneni emazingeni abo. I-Canada iyindawo ye-16 ethumela ngaphandle izikhali ezinkulu kakhulu emhlabeni. Kwabakhulu abayi-15, abayi-13 bangabambisene baseCanada nase-US Abanye bohulumeni abacindezelayo kanye nezitha okungenzeka ukuthi iCanada idayisele izikhali eminyakeni yamuva nje yilezi: Afghanistan, Angola, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Egypt, Jordan, Kazakhstan. , Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Turkey, Turkmenistan, UAE, Uzbekistan, kanye neVietnam. Isebenzisa i-United States ngezinga elincane kakhulu, iCanada yenza okuncane ekulweleni intando yeningi ngokuqinisekisa ukuthi izitha zayo zinenqwaba yezikhali ezibulalayo. Impi eholwa yiSaudi Arabia e-Yemen njengamanje inezisulu eziphindwe ka-10 njengempi yase-Ukraine, noma ngabe ingaphansi kwamaphesenti ayi-10 ukusakazwa kwabezindaba.

I-Canada ngokwayo iyindawo ye-13 echitha imali enkulu kwezempi emhlabeni, futhi i-10 kwezingu-12 ezinkulu zingamadlelandawonye. Emalini esetshenziswa ezempi ngomuntu ngamunye iCanada iyindawo yama-22, futhi wonke angama-21 kwangu-21 aphezulu angamadlelandawonye. I-Canada futhi ingumthengisi omkhulu wama-21 wezikhali zase-US, futhi zonke ezinkulu ezingama-20 kwezingu-20 ezinkulu zingamadlelandawonye. Kodwa ngokudabukisayo iCanada ingumamukeli omkhulu we-131 kuphela "wosizo" lwezempi yase-US. Lokhu kubonakala njengobudlelwane obubi. Mhlawumbe angatholakala ummeli womhlaba wonke wezehlukaniso.

Ingabe i-Canada i-Puppet?

ICanada ibamba iqhaza ezimpini eziningi eziholwa yi-US kanye nama-coups. Imvamisa indima yaseCanada incane kakhulu ukuthi umuntu angacabangi ukuthi kususwa kwayo kwenza umehluko omkhulu, ngaphandle kokuthi umthelela wenqubo empeleni ungowenkulumo-ze. I-United States incane kakhulu ekujuleni kwenhliziyo yabo bonke abalingani abakha ubumbano abayidonsayo. ICanada ibambe iqhaza elibambe iqhaza ngokuthembekile, futhi ikhuthaza ukusetshenziswa kweNATO kanye neZizwe Ezihlangene njengesembozo sobugebengu.

E-United States, izizathu zendabuko zokulwa ngokulwa zempi zinamandla amakhulu ekushukumiseni ingxenye enkulu kakhulu yabantu esekela noma iyiphi impi, ngamaphupho abantu abamba iqhaza elincane. ECanada, izimangalo zokusiza abantu zibonakala zidingeka ngamaphesenti amakhulu abantu, kanti iCanada iye yathuthukisa lezo zimangalo, yazenza umgqugquzeli ophambili “wokugcina ukuthula” njengendlela yokuqinisa impi, kanye ne-R2P (umthwalo wemfanelo ukuvikela) njengesaba sokucekela phansi izindawo ezinjengeLibya.

I-Canada yabamba iqhaza empini ye-Afghanistan iminyaka engu-13, kodwa yaphuma ngaphambi kokuba amanye amazwe amaningi enze, futhi empini yase-Iraq, nakuba ngezinga elincane. ICanada ibe ngumholi kwezinye izivumelwano ezinjengalezo ezimayini agqitshwayo, kodwa yabambelela kwabanye, njengalokho ekuvinjweni kwezikhali zenuzi. Alilona ilungu lanoma iyiphi indawo engenamandla enuzi, kodwa liyilungu le-International Criminal Court.

I-Canada imelene nethonya lase-US, inkohlakalo yezezimali yezinhlobo eziningi, izinyunyana zabasebenzi zinxenxa imisebenzi yezikhali, kanye nezinkinga ezivamile zemithombo yezindaba. I-Canada ngendlela exakile isebenzisa ubuzwe ukukhiqiza ukwesekwa kokubamba iqhaza ezigamekweni zokubulala eziholwa yi-US. Mhlawumbe isiko lokubamba iqhaza ezimpini eziningi zaseBrithani okwenza lokhu kubonakale kujwayelekile.

Abanye bethu bayayincoma iCanada ngokungalwi neBrithani, kodwa sisalinde ukuthi ithuthukise inhlangano engenalo udlame yenkululeko.

Yini okufanele iCanada yenze?

URobin Williams ubize iCanada ngefulethi elihle ngaphezu kwelebhu ye-meth. Intuthu iyakhuphuka futhi iyawina. I-Canada ayikwazi ukunyakaza, kodwa ingavula amawindi athile. Ingaba nezingxoxo ezibucayi nomakhelwane wayo ophansi mayelana nokuthi izilimaza kanjani.

Abanye bethu bathanda ukukhumbula ukuthi umakhelwane omuhle waseCanada ubeyini esikhathini esedlule, nokuthi i-US ibimubi kangakanani. Ngemva kweminyaka eyisithupha abaseBrithani befika lapha eVirginia, baqasha ama-mercenaries ukuthi ahlasele amaFulentshi e-Acadia, i-US ezayo ehlasela ikusasa laseCanada futhi ngo-1690, 1711, 1755, 1758, 1775, no-1812, futhi engayeki ukuhlukumeza iCanada, kuyilapho. ICanada inikeze isiphephelo kwabagqilaziwe nakulabo ababuthelwe empini yase-US (yize kuncane kakhulu eminyakeni yamuva nje).

Kodwa umakhelwane omuhle akamlaleli umlutha ongalawuleki. Umakhelwane omuhle utusa inkambo ehlukile futhi ufundisa ngesibonelo. Sikudinga kakhulu ukubambisana komhlaba wonke kanye nokutshalwa kwezimali kwezemvelo, ukukhishwa kwezikhali, usizo lwababaleki, nokunciphisa ubumpofu. Ukusetshenziswa kwezimali kwezempi kanye nempi kuyizithiyo ezinkulu ekubambisaneni, ekulawuleni umthetho, ekuqedweni kobandlululo nenzondo, kuze kube sekupheleni kwezimfihlo zikahulumeni kanye nokugadwa, ekunciphiseni nasekuqedeni ubungozi be-apocalypse yenuzi, kanye nokuguquguquka. kwezinsiza lapho zidingeka khona.

Uma impi efanelekile ibingacatshangwa, bekungeke kwenzeke ukuthethelela umonakalo owenziwe ngokugcina isikhungo sempi, ibhizinisi lempi, unyaka nonyaka. I-Canada akufanele ibambe minyaka yonke umbukiso omkhulu wezikhali eNyakatho Melika. ICanada kufanele isingathe ingqungquthela enkulu yokuthula engahlomile engahlomile yokwenza ukuthula, hhayi ngempi, kodwa ngokwenza ukuthula.
