Hlanya Ngobuhlanya Lwenuzi

Ukuphawula e-Seattle ngoSepthemba 24, 2022 ngo https://abolishnuclearweapons.org

Ngigula kakhulu futhi ngikhathele izimpi. Sengikulungele ukuthula. Kuthiwani ngawe?

Ngiyajabula ukukuzwa. Kodwa cishe wonke umuntu ufuna ukuthula, ngisho nabantu abacabanga ukuthi indlela eqinisekile yokuthula iwukudlula izimpi eziningi. Banesigxobo sokuthula ePentagon, phela. Nginesiqiniseko sokuthi bayayishaya indiva ngaphezu kokuyikhonza, nakuba benza imihlatshelo eminingi yabantu ngenxa yalokho.

Uma ngibuza igumbi labantu kuleli zwe ukuthi bacabanga ukuthi noma yiluphi uhlangothi lwanoma iyiphi impi lungaba nesizathu noma wake walungisiswa, izikhathi ezingu-99 kwezingu-100 ngizwa ngokushesha ukumemeza kokuthi “IMpi Yezwe II” noma “uHitler” noma “UkuQothulwa Kwesizwe. ”

Manje ngizokwenza into engingavamile ukuyenza futhi ngincoma ukuthi ubukele imuvi ende ye-Ken Burns ku-PBS, entsha e-US kanye NokuQothulwa Kwesizwe. Ngisho ngaphandle uma ungomunye walabo dinosaur abayinqaba njengami abafunda izincwadi. Ingabe ukhona kini ofunda izincwadi?

KULUNGILE, nonke: bukelani le filimu, ngoba isusa isizathu sokuqala abantu abasinikezayo sokusekela impi yokuqala edlule abayisekelayo, okuyisisekelo sokuqala se-propaganda sokusekela izimpi nezikhali ezintsha.

Ngilindele ukuthi abafundi bezincwadi sebekwazi lokhu, kodwa ukusindisa abantu emakamu okufa kwakungeyona ingxenye yeWWII. Eqinisweni, isidingo sokugxila ekulweni impi kwakuyizaba eziphezulu zomphakathi zokungabahlengi abantu. Izaba ezizimele zaziwukuthi alikho izwe elifuna ababaleki emhlabeni wonke. Le filimu ihlanganisa impikiswano engasile eyaqhubeka mayelana nokuqhunyiswa kwamakamu okufa ukuze basindiswe. Kodwa ayikutsheli ukuthi izishoshovu zokuthula bezinxenxa ohulumeni baseNtshonalanga ukuthi baxoxisane ngenkululeko yezisulu ezihlosiwe zamakamu. Izingxoxo zabanjwa ngempumelelo neJalimane lobuNazi ngeziboshwa zempi, njengoba nje izingxoxo zakamuva zibanjwe ngempumelelo neRussia mayelana nokuhwebelana kweziboshwa kanye nokuthunyelwa kwezinhlamvu okusanhlamvu e-Ukraine. Inkinga bekungekona ukuthi iGermany ibingeke ibakhulule abantu - ibikade ifuna ukuthi kube khona abathatha iminyaka. Inkinga yayiwukuthi uhulumeni wase-US wayengafuni ukukhulula izigidi zabantu owawuthatha njengokuphazamiseka okukhulu. Futhi inkinga manje ukuthi uhulumeni wase-US akafuni ukuthula e-Ukraine.

Ngethemba ukuthi i-US izowavuma amaRussia abalekayo futhi ibazi futhi ibathande ukuze sikwazi ukusebenzisana nabo ngaphambi kokuba i-US ifinyelele ezingeni lokusungula uhlaka.

Kodwa nakuba idlanzana elincane lamazwi e-United States lalifuna ukusiza izisulu zobuNazi, ngezinye izindlela esinazo manje e-US iningi elithulile elifuna ukuqeda ukubulawa kwabantu e-Ukraine. Kodwa asithuli sonke isikhathi!

A i-poll by Data for Progress of Washington’s Ninth Congressional District ekuqaleni kuka-August bathole ukuthi u-53% wabavoti uthe bazokweseka i-United States iphishekela izingxoxo zokuqeda impi yase-Ukraine ngokushesha okukhulu, ngisho noma lokho kusho ukwenza ukuvumelana okuthile neRussia. Esinye sezizathu eziningi engikholelwa ukuthi lelo nani lingakhuphuka, uma lingakenyuki, ukuthi kulo lolo kuvota ama-78% abavoti ayekhathazekile mayelana nokungqubuzana okuzovela ku-nuclear. Ngisola ukuthi ama-25% noma ngaphezulu ngokusobala akhathazekile ngempi ezohamba ngenuzi kodwa bakholelwa ukuthi inani elifanele ukukhokhwa ukuze kugwenywe noma yikuphi ukuxoxisana ngokuthula abanakho ukuqonda okuphelele kokuthi iyini impi yenuzi.

Ngicabanga ukuthi kufanele siqhubeke nokuzama zonke izindlela ezingenzeka zokwenza abantu baqaphele inqwaba yezingozi eziseduze nokungqubuzana, ukuthi mancane kangakanani amathuba okuthi kwethulwe ibhomu elilodwa lenuzi kunokuba kube ngamaningi ngezindlela ezimbili. , ukuthi uhlobo lwebhomu elacekela phansi iNagasaki manje selimane liyisiqhushumbisi sohlobo lwebhomu elikhulu kakhulu abahleli bempi yenuzi abalibiza ngokuthi lincane futhi liyasebenziseka, nokuthi impi yenuzi elinganiselwe ingadala kanjani ubusika benuzi obubulala izitshalo emhlabeni wonke obungahamba. abaphilayo banomona kwabafileyo.

Ngiyaqonda ukuthi abanye abantu e-Richland, e-Washington, naseduze, bazama ukushintsha amagama athile ezinto futhi ngokuvamile banciphisa ukukhazinyuliswa kokukhiqiza i-plutonium eyabulala abantu baseNagasaki. Ngicabanga ukuthi kufanele siwushayele ihlombe umzamo wokuhlehlisa ukugujwa kwesenzo sokuqothula uhlanga.

The New York Times muva wabhala ngaye Richland kodwa iningi lagwema umbuzo obalulekile. Ukube bekuyiqiniso ukuthi ukuqhuma kwamabhomu eNagasaki empeleni kusindise izimpilo eziningi kunalokho obekubizile, kusengaba kuhle ukuthi iRichland ikhombise inhlonipho ngezimpilo ezathathwa, kodwa bekungabaluleka ukugubha impumelelo enzima kangaka.

Kodwa uma kuyiqiniso, njengoba amaqiniso ebonakala ebonisa ngokucacile, ukuthi amabhomu enuzi awazange asindise ukuphila okungaphezu kuka-200,000 XNUMX, empeleni awazange asindise noma yikuphi ukuphila, khona-ke ukuwagubha kuwububi nje. Futhi, nabanye ochwepheshe abakholelwa ukuthi ingozi ye-apocalypse yenuzi ayikaze ibe nkulu kunalokho eyikho manje, kunendaba ukuthi sithola leli lungelo.

Ukuqhuma kwamabhomu eNagasaki empeleni kwasuswa kusukela ngomhlaka-11 ku-Agasti kuya ku-Agasti 9th 1945 ukuze kwehliswe amathuba okuthi iJapan izinikele ngaphambi kokuba kuwiswe ibhomu. Ngakho-ke, noma yini oyicabangayo ngokukhipha idolobha elilodwa (lapho ososayensi abaningi benuzi befuna ukuboniswa endaweni engahlalwa muntu esikhundleni salokho), kunzima ukuhlanganisa isizathu sokusebenzisa lelo dolobha lesibili. Futhi empeleni kwakungekho isizathu sokucekela phansi esokuqala.

I-United States Strategic Bombing Survey, eyasungulwa uhulumeni wase-US, waphetha ngokuthi, “ngokuqinisekile ngaphambi komhla zingama-31 kuZibandlela, 1945, futhi cishe ngaphambi komhla lu-1 kuNovemba, 1945, iJapane yayiyocela umaluju ngisho noma amabhomu e-athomu ayengakaphonswanga, ngisho noma iRussia yayingazange ingene empini, futhi ngisho noma kwakungekho kuhlasela okwake kwaba khona. okuhleliwe noma okucatshangelwayo.”

Omunye owaphikisayo owayeveze lo mbono ofanayo kuNobhala Wezempi futhi, ngokulandisa kwakhe, kuMongameli Truman, ngaphambi kwalokhu kuqhuma kwamabhomu kwakunguGeneral Dwight Eisenhower. UJenene Douglas MacArthur, ngaphambi kokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu eHiroshima, wamemezela ukuthi iJapane yayisishayiwe kakade. USihlalo Wezinduna Ezihlangene Zabasebenzi u-Admiral William D. Leahy wathi ngokucasuka ngo-1949, “Ukusetshenziswa kwalesi sikhali esinonya e-Hiroshima naseNagasaki kwakungelona usizo oluphathekayo empini yethu neJapane. AmaJapane ayesehluliwe kakade futhi ekulungele ukuzinikela.”

UMongameli Truman wakuthethelela ukuqhuma kwamabhomu eHiroshima, hhayi njengokusheshisa ukuphela kwempi, kodwa njengokuziphindiselela emacaleni aseJapan. Kwaphela amasonto amaningi, iJapane izimisele ukuzinikela uma yayingase igcine umbusi wayo. I-United States yakwenqaba lokho kwaze kwaba ngemva kokuwa kwamabhomu. Ngakho, isifiso sokulahla amabhomu kungenzeka siye sayandisa impi.

Kufanele kucace ukuthi isimangalo sokuthi amabhomu asindisa izimpilo ekuqaleni sasinengqondo kakhulu kunamanje, ngoba sasikhuluma ngezimpilo zabamhlophe. Manje wonke umuntu unamahloni okufaka leyo ngxenye yesimangalo, kodwa uyaqhubeka nokwenza isimangalo esiyisisekelo, noma kunjalo, noma ukubulala abantu abangu-200,000 empini engase iphele uma nje ungaqeda mhlawumbe kuyinto ekude kakhulu ongayicabanga ekusindiseni izimpilo.

Kimina kubonakala sengathi izikole, esikhundleni sokusebenzisa amafu amakhowe kumalogo, kufanele zigxile ekwenzeni umsebenzi ongcono wokufundisa umlando.

Ngisho zonke izikole. Kungani sikholelwa ekupheleni kweMpi Yomshoshaphansi? Ubani owasifundisa lokho?

Ukuphela okucatshangwayo kweMpi Yomshoshaphansi akukaze kuhilele iRussia noma i-United States ukunciphisa izikhali zenuzi ngaphansi kwalokho okwakungadingeka ukubhubhisa cishe yonke impilo eMhlabeni izikhathi eziningi - hhayi ekuqondeni kososayensi eminyakeni engu-30 edlule, futhi ngokuqinisekile hhayi manje njengoba thina ukwazi okwengeziwe ngobusika benuzi.

Ukuphela kweMpi Yomshoshaphansi okwakuthiwa iphelile kwakuyinkulumo yepolitiki kanye nokugxila kwabezindaba. Kodwa imicibisholo ayizange ihambe. Izikhali azizange ziphume emicibisholo e-US noma eRussia, njengaseChina. I-US noma iRussia azikaze zizibophezele ukuthi zingayiqali impi yenuzi. ISivumelwano Sokuzibophezela Kokungavimbeli sibonakala singakaze sibe ukuzibophezela okuqotho eWashington DC. Ngiyangabaza ngisho ukuyicaphuna ngoba ngisaba ukuthi kukhona oseWashington DC uzofunda ukuthi ikhona futhi ayidabule. Kodwa ngisazoyicaphuna noma kanjani. Amaqembu esivumelwano azibophezele kulokhu:

"Phishekela izingxoxo ngokwethembeka mayelana nezinyathelo ezisebenzayo eziphathelene nokuqedwa komjaho wezikhali zenuzi kusenesikhathi kanye nokwehliswa kwezikhali zenuzi, kanye nesivumelwano sokuhoxiswa kwezikhali okujwayelekile nokuphelele ngaphansi kokulawulwa okuqinile nokuphumelelayo kwamazwe ngamazwe."

Ngingathanda ukuthi uhulumeni wase-US asayine ezivumelwaneni eziningi, okuhlanganisa izivumelwano nezivumelwano azibhidlizile, njengesivumelwano sase-Iran, i-Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, kanye ne-Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, kuhlanganise nezivumelwano anazo. akakaze asayinwe, njengeSivumelwano Sokuvinjelwa Kwezikhali Zenuzi. Kodwa azikho kuzo ezinhle njengezivumelwano ezikhona esingafuna ukuthotshelwa kwazo, njenge-Kellogg-Briand Pact evimbela yonke impi, noma isivumelwano sokungavimbeli, esidinga ukuchithwa kwezikhali okuphelele - kuzo zonke izikhali. Kungani sinale mithetho ezincwadini ezingcono kakhulu kunezinto esiphupha sizishaya umthetho esikuthola kulula ukwamukela izinkulumo-ze ezithi azikho ngempela, ukuthi kufanele sikholwe amathelevishini ethu kunokuba siphume ngowakhe. amehlo amanga?

Impendulo ilula. Ngoba umnyakazo wokuthula wama-1920 wawunamandla kunalokho esingakucabanga, futhi ngenxa yokuthi ukunyakaza okulwa nempi kanye ne-anti-nuclear yama-1960s kwakukuhle kakhulu futhi. Kokubili lokho kunyakaza kwadalwa abantu abajwayelekile abafana ncamashi nathi, ngaphandle kolwazi nolwazi oluncane. Singenza okufanayo futhi kangcono.

Kodwa sidinga ukusangana ngobuhlanya benuzi. Kudingeka senze sengathi zonke izinhlanzana zobuhle nezimangaliso eMhlabeni zisongelwa ngokubhujiswa ngokushesha ngenxa yokuzikhukhumeza kwabanye abantu abayiziwula kakhulu abaphilayo. Ngempela sibhekene nomsangano, futhi lokho kusho ukuthi kufanele sichaze ukuthi yini engalungile ngayo kulabo abazolalela, sibe sakha ukunyakaza kwengcindezi yezombusazwe kulabo abadinga ukududulwa.

Kungani kuwubuhlanya ukufuna izikhali ezimbi kunazo zonke ezizungeze, ukuvimbela abantu bakwamanye amazwe abangenangqondo ekuhlaselweni okungaphenduki njengalokhu iRussia esanda kucasulwa kukho ngokucophelela?

(Kungenzeka ukuthi nonke niyazi ukuthi ukucasulwa kokuthile akukuthetheleli ukukwenza kodwa kufanele ngikusho lokho.)

Nazi izizathu eziyi-10 zokufuna ama-nukes ubuhlanya:

1. Makudlule iminyaka eyanele futhi ukuba khona kwezikhali zenuzi kuzosibulala sonke ngengozi.
2. Makudlule iminyaka eyanele futhi ukuba khona kwezikhali zenuzi kuzosibulala sonke ngesenzo sohlanya oluthile.
3. Akukho lutho isikhali senuzi esingavimba ukuthi inqwaba yezikhali ezingezona ezenuzi ayikwazi ukuvimba kangcono - kodwa linda #4.
4. Isenzo esingenalo udlame sifakazele ukuzivikela okuyimpumelelo ekuhlaselweni nasemisebenzini kunokusetshenziswa kwezikhali.
5. Ukusabisa ngokusebenzisa isikhali ukuze ungalokothi usisebenzise kudala ingozi enkulu yokungakholwa, yokudideka, kanye nokusetshenziswa kwaso kwangempela.
6. Ukusebenzisa inqwaba yabantu ukuze balungiselele ukusebenzisa isikhali kudala umfutho wokusisebenzisa, okuyingxenye yencazelo yalokho okwenzeka ngo-1945.
7. I-Hanford, njengezinye izindawo eziningi, ihlezi phezu kodoti abanye abayibiza ngeChernobyl engaphansi elindele ukwenzeka, futhi akekho othole isisombululo, kodwa ukukhiqiza imfucuza eyengeziwe kuthathwa njengokungangabazeki yilabo ababanjwe lomsangano.
8. Enye i-96% yesintu ayinangqondo ukwedlula ama-4% e-United States, kodwa futhi kanjalo.
9. Lapho iMpi Yomshoshaphansi ingaqalwa kabusha ngokukhetha ukuqaphela ukuthi ayikaze iphele, futhi lapho ingase ishise ngokuphazima kweso, ukwehluleka ukushintsha ngokuphelele inkambo kuyincazelo yokusangana.
10. UVladimir Putin - kanye noDonald Trump, uBill Clinton, amaBush amabili, uRichard Nixon, uDwight Eisenhower, noHarry Truman - basabise ngokusebenzisa izikhali zenuzi. Laba ngabantu abakholelwa ukuthi ukugcina izinsongo zabo kubaluleke kakhulu kunokugcina izithembiso zabo. ICongress yaseMelika isho ngokusobala ukuthi ingakwazi ukumisa umongameli. A Washington Post umlobi wephephandaba uthi akukho okumele ukhathazeke ngakho ngoba i-US inama-nukes amaningi njengeRussia. Umhlaba wethu wonke awuwufanele ukugembula omunye umbusi wenuzi e-US noma e-Russia noma kwenye indawo angeke awulandele.

Ubuhlanya sebuye belashwa izikhathi eziningi, futhi ubuhlanya benuzi akumelwe buhluke. Izikhungo ezathatha iminyaka eminingi, futhi ezazibhalwe ukuthi azinakugwenywa, zemvelo, ezibalulekile, kanye neminye imibandela yokungenisa okungabazekayo efanayo, iye yaqedwa emiphakathini eyahlukene. Lokhu kufaka phakathi ubuzimuzimu, ukunikela ngabantu, ukuquliswa amacala, izingxabano zegazi, ukulwa, isithembu, isijeziso esikhulu, ubugqila, nohlelo lukaBill O'Reilly lweFox News. Iningi lesintu lifuna ukwelapha ubuhlanya benuzi kabi kangangokuthi lidala izivumelwano ezintsha zokukwenza. Iningi lesintu selidlulile liba nama-nukes. INingizimu Korea, iTaiwan, iSweden, neJapane bakhethe ukungabi nama-nukes. I-Ukraine neKazakhstan bayeka ama-nukes abo. Kanjalo neBelarus. INingizimu Afrika yadela ama-nukes ayo. IBrazil ne-Argentina bakhethe ukungabi nama-nukes. Futhi nakuba iMpi Yomshoshaphansi ingazange iphele, izinyathelo ezimangalisayo ezinjalo zathathwa ukuze kuqedwe izikhali abantu ababecabanga ukuthi iyaphela. Ukuqwashisa ngale ndaba kwadalwa eminyakeni engu-40 edlule kangangokuthi abantu babecabanga ukuthi le nkinga kufanele ixazululwe. Siphinde sabona inhlansi yalokho kuqwashisa kulo nyaka.

Ngenkathi impi yase-Ukraine ingena ezindabeni kule ntwasahlobo edlule, ososayensi abagcina Iwashi Losuku Lwembubhiso base bevele ngo-2020 basondeza isandla sesibili ku-apocalyptic phakathi kwamabili, kwashiya igumbi elincane lokulisondeza kamuva kulo nyaka. Kodwa okuthile kwashintsha okungenani ngokuphawulekayo esikweni lase-US. Umphakathi othi, nakuba ungenzi lutho olutheni ukunciphisa ukuwohloka kwesimo sezulu, wazi obala ngalelo kusasa le-apocalyptic, kungazelelwe waqala ukukhuluma kancane mayelana ne-apocalypse yokuya phambili ngokushesha okungaba impi yenuzi. I-Seattle Times yaze yaphatha lesi sihloko esithi “IWashington Yamisa Ukuhlela Impi Yenuzi ngo-1984. Ingabe Kufanele Siqale Manje?” Umsangano ngiyakutshela.

The Times Seattle yathuthukisa inkolelo yebhomu lenuzi elilodwa, kanye nezixazululo zomuntu ngamunye. Sincane kakhulu isizathu sokucabanga ukuthi kuzokwethulwa ibhomu elilodwa lenuzi ngaphandle kwamabhomu amaningi ahambisana nawo kanye namabhomu amaningi asabela ngokushesha ukusuka kolunye uhlangothi. Nokho kubhekwe kakhulu manje ukuthi umuntu kufanele aziphathe kanjani uma kuqhunyiswa ibhomu elilodwa kunezimo okungenzeka kakhulu. Idolobha laseNew York lenze isimemezelo senkonzo yomphakathi esitshela izakhamizi ukuthi zingene ezindlini. Abameli balabo abangenamakhaya bacasulwa umthelela ongalungile wempi yenuzi, nakuba impi yenuzi yangempela izovuna amaphela kuphela, futhi ngephesenti elincane lalokho esikusebenzisa siyilungiselela singanikeza wonke umuntu oyedwa indlu. Sizwile ekuqaleni namuhla mayelana nekhambi lamaphilisi e-iodine.

Impendulo engeyona yomuntu ngamunye kule nkinga eqoqiwe kungaba ukuhlela ingcindezi yokuhoxiswa kwezikhali - kungaba ngokuhlanganyela noma okuhlangene. Ukusuka ohlangothini olulodwa ebuhlanya kuyisenzo sokuhlakanipha. Futhi ngikholwa ukuthi singakwenza. Abantu abahlele lo mcimbi namuhla besebenzisa abolishnuclearweapons.org bangahlela abanye. Abangani bethu e-Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action bazi kahle ukuthi benzani. Uma sidinga ubuciko bomphakathi obuqanjiwe ukuze sidlulise umlayezo wethu, i-Backbone Campaign evela e-Vashon Island ingawusingatha. Phezulu e-Whidbey Island, i-Whidbey Environmental Action Network kanye nabalingani bayo basanda kuxosha amasosha emapaki ombuso, futhi i-Sound Defense Alliance isebenzela ukukhipha izindiza zokufa ezihlukanisa izindlebe esibhakabhakeni.

Yize sidinga ubushoshovu obuningi, kuningi kakhulu kunalokho esikwaziyo osekwenzeka kakade. Ku-DefuseNuclearWar.org uzothola ukuhlela kuqhubeka kulo lonke elase-United States ngezenzo eziphuthumayo zokulwa nenuzi ngo-Okthoba.

Singakwazi ukuqeda izikhali zenuzi futhi sigcine amandla enuzi? Angiboni. Singakwazi yini ukuqeda izikhali zenuzi futhi sigcine inqwaba yezintaba zezikhali ezingezona ezenuzi zibekwe ezisekelweni ze-1,000 kwamanye amazwe abantu? Angiboni. Kodwa esingakwenza ukuthatha isinyathelo, futhi sibuke zonke izinyathelo ezilandelayo zikhula zibe lula, ngoba umjaho wezikhali ohlehlayo wenza kube njalo, ngoba imfundo yenza kube njalo, nangenxa yokuthi umfutho wenza kube njalo. Uma kukhona osopolitiki abakuthanda kangcono kunokushisa amadolobha wonke kuyaphumelela. Uma ukukhishwa kwezikhali zenuzi kuqala ukunqoba kungalindela abangani abaningi abengeziwe ukuthi bagibele.

Kodwa njengamanje alikho nelilodwa ilungu leCongress yase-US elikhiphe intamo yalo ukuze lithole ukuthula, ingasaphathwa eyekhokhasi noma iphathi. Ukuvota okunobubi obuncane kuzohlala kunamandla okucabanga okukhona, kodwa akukho ukukhetha kunoma yiliphi lamavoti okuhlanganisa ukusinda komuntu - okusho nje ukuthi - njengawo wonke umlando - sidinga ukwenza okungaphezu kokuvota. Esingeke sikwenze ukuvumela ubuhlanya bethu ukuba bube nenzondo, noma ukuqaphela kwethu kube yinhlekelele, noma ukukhungatheka kwethu kube ukushintsha kwesibopho. Konke lokhu kuwumthwalo wethu, noma siyathanda noma singathandi. Kodwa uma senza konke okusemandleni ethu, sisebenza emphakathini, sinombono wezwe elinokuthula nelenuzi phambi kwethu, ngicabanga ukuthi singase sikuthole kuthandeka lokho. Uma singakha imiphakathi elwela ukuthula yonke indawo njengale ebesiyingxenye yayo ekuseni, singenza ukuthula.

Amavidiyo avela kumcimbi ose-Seattle kufanele avele lesi siteshi.
