Kukhuphuka amabhodi okukhangisa eBerlin amemezela ukuthi “Izikhali Zenuzi Manje Azikho Emthethweni. Baphumeni EJalimane! ”

Kungasho ukuthini lokhu? Izikhali zenuzi zingahle zingathandeki, kepha yini ngempela engemthetho ngazo, futhi zihlangene ngani neJalimane?

Kusukela ngo-1970, ngaphansi kwe- Isivumelwano Sokungavikeleki Kwenuzi, amazwe amaningi anqatshelwe ukuthola izikhali zenuzi, futhi lawo asevele enazo - noma okungenani labo abasesivumelwaneni, njenge-United States - baphoqelekile ukuthi "baqhubeke nezingxoxo ngokuthembeka ngezinyathelo ezisebenzayo eziphathelene nokumiswa umjaho wezikhali zenuzi zisencane kanye nezikhali zenuzi, nasesivumelwaneni ngokuqedwa ngokuphelele kwezikhali ngaphansi kokulawulwa okuqinile nokusebenzayo kwamazwe omhlaba. ”

Akunasidingo sokusho, i-US kanye nabanye ohulumeni abahlome ngezikhali zenuzi basebenzise iminyaka engama-50 bengakwenzi lokhu, futhi eminyakeni yamuva uhulumeni wase-US kudabukile Izivumelwano ezikhawulela izikhali zenuzi, kanye izimali kakhulu ekwakheni ezinye zazo.

Ngaphansi kwalesi sivumelwano, sekuphele iminyaka engama-50, uhulumeni wase-US uphoqelekile ukuba "angadluliseli kunoma yimuphi umamukeli noma iziphi izikhali zenuzi noma ezinye izinto eziyiziqhumane zenuzi noma alawule lezo zikhali ngqo noma ngokungaqondile." Noma kunjalo, amasosha ase-US igcina izikhali zenuzi eBelgium, eNetherlands, eJalimane, e-Italy naseTurkey. Singaphikisana noma ngabe leso simo siphula isivumelwano, kepha hhayi ukuthi sisephula yini uthukuthele izigidi abantu.

Eminyakeni emithathu eyedlule, amazwe ayi-122 avotela ukudala isivumelwano esisha sokunqabela ukuba nezikhali zenuzi noma ukuthengiswa kwazo, kanye Umkhankaso Wamazwe Omhlaba Wokuqeda Izikhali Zenuzi uwine iNobel Peace Prize. NgoJanuwari 22, 2021, lesi sivumelwano esisha iba ngumthetho emazweni angaphezu kwama-50 asemukele ngokusemthethweni, okuyinombolo ekhula ngokuqinile futhi kulindeleke ukuthi ifinyelele iningi lamazwe omhlaba esikhathini esizayo esiseduze.

Kwenza mehluko muni izizwe ezingenazo izikhali zenuzi ukuzivimbela? Ngabe ihlobene kanjani neJalimane? Yebo, uhulumeni wase-US ugcina izikhali zenuzi eJalimane ngemvume kahulumeni waseJalimane, amanye amalungu awo athi ayayiphikisa, kanti amanye athi awanamandla okukuguqula. Futhi abanye bathi ukukhipha izikhali eJalimane kungaphula iSivumelwano Sokuvikela, lapho ukuhumusha ukuzigcina eJalimane kweqa leso sivumelwano.

Ngabe uhulumeni wase-US angakhushulelwa emazingeni aphesheya? Yebo, izizwe eziningi zivimbele amabhomu agqitshwayo namabhomu amaqoqo. Izwe laseMelika alizange likwenze lokho. Kodwa izikhali zazikhishwa inyumbazane. Abatshalizimali bomhlaba wonke bathathe imali yabo. Izinkampani zase-US ziyeke ukuzenza, futhi amasosha ase-US anciphisa futhi kungenzeka ukuthi ekugcineni akuyekile ukuwasebenzisa. Ukuhlukaniswa kwezikhali zenuzi yizikhungo ezinkulu zezezimali ikhumulile eminyakeni yakamuva, futhi kungalindelwa ngokuphepha ukuthi isheshe.

Ushintsho, kufaka phakathi imikhuba enjengobugqila nokuqashwa kwezingane, bekulokhu kungaphezulu komhlaba wonke kunalokho umuntu angakuthola embhalweni ojwayelekile womlando wase-US. Emhlabeni jikelele, ukuphatha izikhali zenuzi sekucatshangelwa njengokuziphatha kombuso onamandla - izwe elinamandla nabasebenzisana nalo.

Ngabe uhulumeni waseJalimane angakhushulelwa emazingeni aphesheya? IBelgium isivele isondele kakhulu ekukhipheni izikhali zayo zenuzi. Kungekudala, isizwe esinezikhulu zaseMelika sizoba esokuqala ukubakhipha futhi siqinisekise isivumelwano esisha sokunqatshelwa kwezikhali zenuzi. Kungekudala, elinye ilungu le-NATO cishe lizosayina isivumelwano esisha, lisibeka ekuphikisaneni nokubandakanyeka kweNATO ekusingatheni izikhali zenuzi eYurophu. Ekugcineni iYurophu iyonke izothola indlela yayo yokulwa ne-apocalypse position. Ngabe iGerman ifuna ukuhola indlela yokuthuthuka noma ukukhulisa ngemuva?

Izikhali zenuzi ezintsha ezingasatshalaliswa eJalimane, uma iJalimane ikuvumela, kunjalo esabekayo ngabahleli bezempi baseMelika "njengabasebenziseka kakhulu," yize babenamandla amakhulu kakhulu kunalokho okubhubhise iHiroshima noma iNagasaki.

Ngabe abantu baseJalimane bayakusekela lokhu? Impela asikaze sithintwe. Ukugcina izikhali zenuzi eJalimane akuyona intando yeningi. Akusimeme futhi. Kuthatha imali edingeka kabi kubantu nokuvikelwa kwemvelo futhi kuyifaka ezikhaliweni ezilimaza imvelo ezandisa ubungozi bokuqothulwa kwenuzi. Ososayensi I-Doomsday Clock kusondele phakathi kwamabili kunanini ngaphambili. Uma ufuna ukusiza ukuyishayela emuva, noma uyiqede, ungazibandakanya nayo World BEYOND War.
