Sacela iphele iMpi yase-Iraq, ngaleso sikhathi eyayisonyakeni wayo wesithupha. Okungenani izakhamizi zase-Iraqi eziyi-100,000 zabulawa kuleyo mpi, kepha ukufa kwabo akuzange kugxilwe emithonjeni yethu yezindaba.
Uhambo lwethu lokuthula lube lufushane - eduze kwaseMonona Bay, ukusuka eLake Monona kuya eLake Mendota. Ngaphandle kwe-Madison, sizohamba ngokuthula e-Yellowstone Lake ngoMeyi 21. Sihamba emigwaqweni nezindlela zamabhayisikili - kuhle izihlalo zabakhubazekile, izikuta, izinqola, amabhayisikili amancane, njll. Izindawo nezikhathi zokuhamba kwethu kwamasonto onke zithunyelwe lapha. Ukuze uthole izimemo ebhokisini lakho lemilayezo engenayo, sishiye umugqa kokuthi peacewalkmadison@gmail.com.
Sihamba ukuze siphakamise amazwi ezishoshovu zokuthula ezithatha isibindi somphakathi e-Ukraine naseRussia. Siphethe ifulegi eliluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka nelimhlophe, elidalwe ababhikishi baseRussia kulo nyaka ukuze sibabonise phikisa impi.

Ukubuka izinto ezesabekayo zempi e-Ukraine, sizwa intukuthelo, ukwesaba nosizi. Bayanda abantu ababulawayo futhi izigidi zenziwe ababaleki. Indlala igasela. Inhlolovo kuleli sonto ikhombisa ukuthi abantu abayisishiyagalombili kwabayishumi e-US bakhathazekile ngempi yenuzi. Nokho uhulumeni wethu uthumela izikhali ezengeziwe. Ukubulala yibo kuphela ubugebengu obuthathwa njengobuvumelekile uma benziwa ngezinga elikhulu ngokwanele.
Ngolunye usuku esikhathini esizayo, impi yase-Ukraine izophela ngezingxoxo. Kungani ningaxoxisana manje, ngaphambi kokuba kufe abantu abaningi?
I-Lockheed Martin, iRaytheon nezinye izinkampani zezikhali zinezisusa eziqinile zokuhlehlisa ukuphela kwempi. Intatheli uMat Taibbi wephule a indaba ebalulekile ngesonto eledlule encwadini yakhe yezindaba ye-Substack: Sibuka izikhangiso zabathengisi bezikhali ezindabeni ngaphandle kokuqaphela.
