Isikebhe somlando se-Golden Rule esilwa ne-nuclear sisendleleni eya e-Cuba. Isikebhe sokhuni esiyisitezi, esahamba ngomkhumbi sibheke eMarshall Islands ngo-1958 ukuze siphazamise ukuhlolwa kwezikhali zenuzi e-US, sasuka ngomkhumbi sisuka eKey West, eFlorida ngoLwesihlanu ekuseni, futhi sizofika e-Hemingway Marina eHavana ngoMgqibelo ekuseni, usuku lwangaphambi koNyaka Omusha. Iketch engamamitha angu-34 ingeyeVeterans For Peace, futhi isebenzisa umgomo wayo “wokuqeda umjaho wezikhali nokunciphisa futhi ekugcineni kuqedwe izikhali zenuzi.”
Amalungu amahlanu eqembu azojoyinwa amalungu eVeterans For Peace endizela eHavana ukuyobamba iqhaza ohlelweni lwezemfundo lwezobuCiko namaSiko oludidiyelwe I-Proximity Cuba i-ejensi yezokuvakasha. Omakadebona bazophinde bavakashele imiphakathi eyalimala kakhulu yiSiphepho i-Ian sakamuva, esicekele phansi izinkulungwane zemizi esifundazweni iPinar del Rio entshonalanga neCuba. Baphethe usizo lokusiza abantu abalahlekelwe yimizi yabo.
"Sisemkhankasweni wokufundisa nokusiza abantu," kusho uMphathi weProjekthi yeGolden Rule uHelen Jaccard. “Sinezinyanga ezintathu nengxenye ohambweni lwezinyanga ezingu-15, amakhilomitha angu-11,000 90 sizungeza i-'Great Loop' emaphakathi-ntshonalanga, eningizimu, nasenyakatho-mpumalanga ye-United States. Lapho sibona ukuthi sizoba seKey West, eFlorida ekupheleni kukaDisemba, sathi, 'Bheka, iCuba ingamakhilomitha angu-XNUMX kuphela! Futhi umhlaba wacishe waba nempi yenuzi phezu kweCuba.’”
Eminyakeni engu-60 eyedlule, ngo-Okthoba 1962, umhlaba wasondela ngokuyingozi impi yenuzi eqeda impucuko phakathi nempi yamandla amakhulu phakathi kwe-US neSoviet Union, eyayibeke imicibisholo yenuzi eduze kwemingcele yabanye, eTurkey naseCuba, ngokulandelana. I-CIA iphinde yahlela ukuhlasela kweCuba ngezikhali emzamweni omubi wokuketula uhulumeni kaFidel Castro.
"Eminyakeni engamashumi ayisithupha kamuva, i-US isalokhu ivimbekile kwezomnotho eCuba, iklinya intuthuko yezomnotho waseCuba futhi ibangela ukuhlupheka emindenini yaseCuba," kusho uGerry Condon, owayengumongameli weVeterans For Peace, kanye nengxenye yezisebenzi eziya eCuba. "Umhlaba wonke uyaphikisana nokuvinjwa kwe-US eCuba futhi sekuyisikhathi sokuthi iphele." Kulo nyaka kuphela i-US kanye ne-Israel bavotele Cha esinqumweni se-UN esicela uhulumeni wase-US ukuthi aqede ukuvinjelwa kwawo eCuba.
"Manje ukungaboni ngaso linye kwe-US/Russia mayelana ne-Ukraine sekuphinde kwavusa intukuthelo yempi yenuzi," kusho uGerry Condon. "Kwaba ukuxoxisana okuphuthumayo phakathi kukaMongameli waseMelika uJohn Kennedy kanye nomholi waseRussia uNikita Khruschev okwaxazulula iCuban Missile Crisis futhi kwavikela umhlaba empini yenuzi," kuqhubeka uCondon. "Lokho wuhlobo lwe-diplomacy esiludingayo namuhla."
I-Veterans For Peace ifuna kuqedwe ukuvinjwa kwe-US eCuba, Ukumisa Umlilo Nezingxoxo Zokuqeda Impi E-Ukraine, kanye Nokuqedwa Ngokuphelele Kwezikhali Zenuzi.
