AMY U-GOODMAN: Lokhu Intando yeningi Manje!, democracynow.org, Umbiko Wokuhlukaniswa. Ngingu-Amy Goodman.

Izwe laseMelika kanye ne-United Kingdom babhekene nokugxekwa kwamazwe omhlaba ngokunyusa izindawo zabo zokugcina amandla enuzi, bephikisana nenhlangano ekhulayo emhlabeni jikelele yokuxhasa ukuphucwa izikhali zenuzi. Izwe laseMelika lihlela ukusebenzisa ama- $ 100 billion - billion - ukusungula umcibisholo omusha wenuzi ongahamba amakhilomitha ayi-6,000 ethwele i-warhead ephindwe ka-20 kunaleyo ewele eHiroshima. Izindleko zokwakha nokunakekela iGround-Based Strategic Deterrent, noma I-GBSD, njengoba kwaziwa, kungakhukhumala kufinyelele ku- $ 264 billion kumashumi eminyaka ezayo, ngemali eningi iya kosonkontileka bezempi, kubandakanya iNorthrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin kanye neGeneral Dynamics.

Khonamanjalo, uNdunankulu waseBrithani uBoris Johnson usanda kumemezela amacebo okunyusa inqwaba yenqwaba yenuzi, okwandisa inani lamakhanda enuzi eTrident ngaphezulu kuka-40%. Lesi sinyathelo siphela amashumi amathathu eminyaka kuncishiswa izikhali zenuzi e-UK

NgoLwesithathu, okhulumela uNobhala-Jikelele we-UN usigxekile isinqumo sikaJohnson, esizophula iSivumelwano Sokulwa Nokwanda Kwezikhali Zenuzi, noma I-NPT.

I-STÉPHANE I-DUJARRIC: Kepha siyakuveza ukukhathazeka kwethu ngesinqumo se-UK sokwengeza isikhali sayo sezikhali zenuzi, okuphikisana nezibopho zaso ngaphansi kwe-Article VI I-NPT futhi kungaba nomthelela omubi ekuzinzeni komhlaba nasemizamweni yokuphishekela umhlaba ongenazikhali zenuzi. Ngesikhathi lapho ubungozi bezikhali zenuzi buphakeme kakhulu kunalokho obekulokhu kwenzeka kusukela ngeMpi Yomshoshaphansi, ukutshalwa kwezimali ekuphathweni kwezikhali nasekulawulweni kwezikhali kuyindlela engcono yokuqinisa uzinzo nokunciphisa ingozi yenuzi.

AMY U-GOODMAN: Lezi zintuthuko ziza kungakapheli nezinyanga ezimbili ngemuva kokuqala ukusebenza kweSivumelwano Esibalulekile se-UN mayelana nokuvinjelwa kwezikhali zenuzi. Lesi sivumelwano sigunyazwe amazwe angaphezu kwama-50, kepha lawo awahlanganisi noma yimiphi emandleni ayisishiyagalolunye enuzi: iBrithani, iChina, iFrance, iNdiya, i-Israel, iNorth Korea, iPakistan, iRussia kanye ne-United States.

Manje sihlanganiswe ngu-Alicia Sanders-Zakre, umxhumanisi wenqubomgomo nocwaningo eMkhankasweni Womhlaba Wonke Wokuqeda Izikhali Zenuzi. Iqembu lathola iNobel Peace Prize ngo-2017.

Siyabonga kakhulu ngokujoyina nathi sisuka eGeneva, eSwitzerland. Ngabe ungakhuluma kuqala nge-UK iphakamisa ikephethi ekwakhiweni kwezikhali eziningi zenuzi, bese i-United States ithuthukisa lesi sikhali senuzi esikhulu, esine-quarter-a-trillion-dollar?

I-ALICIA ISANDI-UZAKRE: Impela. Futhi ngiyabonga kakhulu ngokuba nami lapha namuhla nokunaka lokhu okubaluleke ngempela, maqondana nentuthuko e-United States nase-United Kingdom. Ngicabanga ukuthi kubaluleke kakhulu ukuxhumanisa lezi zindaba ezimbili, ngoba sibona le mpendulo ebumbene nefananayo yamazwe ahlomile enuzi kulokho umhlaba wonke okudingayo, okuwukuqedwa ngokuphelele kwezikhali zenuzi.

E-United Kingdom, kwakukhona lesi sinyathelo sokungakhathali, sokulwa nentando yeningi sakamuva sokunyusa isembozo sezikhali zenuzi, nakho, njengoba kushiwo ekuqaleni, kungukwephula umthetho wamazwe omhlaba. Lokhu akwamukelekile neze. Kugxekwe ngokufanele, ekhaya nakwamanye amazwe. Futhi kungukuhamba okundiza impela ebusweni bokuthi umhlaba wonke ufunani nokuthi yini emelwe yiSivumelwano Sokuvinjelwa Kwezikhali ZaseNyukliya.

Futhi ngokufanayo, e-United States, unesinyathelo sabaphathi base-United States sokuqhubeka nokwakha kabusha izikhali zenuzi. Futhi ingxenye eyodwa yalokho yileli missile engu- $ 100 billion, njengoba ushilo, umcibisholo omusha wase-United States, ozohlala e-United States kuze kube ngu-2075. Ngakho-ke lokhu ukuzibophezela kwesikhathi eside ngokumelene nalabo I-United States ne-United Kingdom bafuna, okungukuqedwa kwezikhali zenuzi futhi bajoyine iSivumelwano Sokuvinjelwa Kwezikhali Zenuzi.

I-NERMEEN SHAIKH: Futhi, Alicia, ungasho okuthe xaxa mayelana nale dokhumenti uNdunankulu uJohnson aqhubekele phambili? Njengoba ushilo, kuyaphikisana nentando yeningi. Kuhlangatshezwane nokulahlwa okubanzi, hhayi emhlabeni wonke kuphela, kepha naseBrithani. Okokuqala, ngabe lokhu akunakulungiseka, ukwanda okungama-40% kwenani lezimpi zenuzi zeTrident ezibekwa yilo mbhalo? Futhi, kuhlangene ngani neBrexit? Lokhu ngokusobala kuyingxenye yohlelo lokuphatha lukaJohnson ngekusasa le-post-Brexit nendima yeBrithani emhlabeni jikelele?

I-ALICIA ISANDI-UZAKRE: Ngicabanga ukuthi kubaluleke kakhulu ukucindezela ukuthi akunakuphikiswa. Lesi sinqumo siphume kulokho okubizwa ngokuthi yi-Integrated Review, ukubuyekezwa kwenqubomgomo yezokuvikela kanye neyangaphandle, obekufanele ekuqaleni kube yithemba elizayo, ukubheka phambili, inqubomgomo entsha, ngemuva kweMpi Yomshoshaphansi. Vele, lokho esikubona empeleni emibhalweni, uma kukhulunywa ngezikhali zenuzi, empeleni kubuyela ekucabangeni okuyingozi kweMpi Yomshoshaphansi, maqondana nokwandisa ukuzibophezela okushiwo ngaphambili, isicoco sangaphambilini sezimpi zenuzi. Ekubuyekezweni okwedlule, i-United Kingdom yayithembisile, ithembise esidlangalaleni, ukuthi izokwehlisa isicoco sayo senuzi sibe yizihloko zempi ezingama-180 maphakathi no-2020, eminyakeni embalwa nje. Futhi manje, ngaphandle kokunikeza isizathu sangempela, ngaphandle koshintsho endaweni yamasu, i-United Kingdom ikhethe ukukhulisa leyo cap.

Ngakho-ke ngicabanga ukuthi kucace bha ukuthi yisinqumo sezepolitiki. Kungaxhunyaniswa kahle kakhulu ne-ajenda yezombusazwe yokuphatha kukaJohnson, uyazi, ngicabanga, ngezindlela eziningi ezixhunyaniswe ne-ajenda yangaphambilini yokuphathwa kukaTrump ngezikhali zenuzi, okwakumele kucatshangelwe ukwenza izinhlobo ezintsha zezikhali zenuzi, ukungawunaki ngokuphelele umthetho wamazwe omhlaba umbono wamazwe omhlaba ngezikhali zenuzi. Kepha kubalulekile ukukhumbula, yebo, lokhu kungumkhiqizo wokubuyekeza, kepha, impela, ngicabanga, ngengcindezi yomphakathi, ngaphakathi nakwamanye amazwe, i-UK ingakwazi, futhi nakanjani kufanele, iguqule lesi sinqumo bese ithatha izinyathelo zokujoyina iSivumelwano Ekuvinjelweni Kwezikhali Zenuzi.

AMY U-GOODMAN: I-Iran isole uNdunankulu waseBrithani uBoris Johnson "ngokuzenzisa ngokuphelele" ngokumemezela isinqumo sokunweba isikhali sayo senuzi ngosuku olufanayo uJohnson wazwakalisa ukukhathazeka ngohlelo lwenuzi lwase-Iran. UNgqongqoshe wezangaPhandle wase-Iran, uJavad Zarif, uthe, "Ngokungafani ne-UK kanye nabasizi bayo, i-Iran ikholelwa ukuthi amanenjana nawo wonke ama-WMD anonya futhi kufanele aqedwe." Impendulo yakho, Alicia?

I-ALICIA ISANDI-UZAKRE: Ngicabanga ukuthi kube yinkinga engaguquguquki enkulumweni yamazwe omhlaba ngezikhali zenuzi ukwehlukanisa impela indlela esikhuluma ngayo ngamanye amazwe ahlomile enuzi. Futhi i-UK ne-United States bakuxhase ngempela lokhu. Bazithatha njengamandla asemthethweni, abhekele amandla enuzi, ngokuphikisana nezinye izifundazwe ezisanda kuhlonyiswa ngenuzi, njenge-Iran - ngiyaxolisa, hhayi i-Iran - iNorth Korea.

Futhi ngicabanga ukuthi lokhu kuyiqiniso - ngokusobala, lokhu kuhamba kukhombisa ukuthi lokho kuyindaba engamanga. Wonke amazwe anezikhali zenuzi, uyazi, angokoqobo - anamandla okubhubhisa, angamukeleki okunika imiphumela yezenhlalakahle engakaze ibonwe emhlabeni. Futhi noma yimuphi umbuso ohlomile ngenuzi kufanele alahlwe icala ngokuzibandakanya kulokhu kuziphatha okuvinjelwe izivumelwano zamazwe omhlaba, muva nje yiSivumelwano Sokuvinjelwa Kwezikhali Zenuzi. Ngakho-ke, noma ngabe ngabe ngubani izwe, ukuthuthukisa, ukukhiqiza, ukugcina izinqolobane zabo akulungile futhi akukho emthethweni.

AMY U-GOODMAN: Alicia Sanders-Zakre, sifuna ukukubonga kakhulu ngokuba nathi, umxhumanisi wenqubomgomo kanye nocwaningo eMkhankasweni Womhlaba Wonke Wokuqeda Izikhali Zenuzi, I-ICAN, owawina iNobel Peace Prize eminyakeni embalwa edlule.
