Kuzobiza cishe u-$ 30 wezigidigidi ngonyaka ukuqedela indlala kanye nendlala emhlabeni jikelele. Lokho kuzwakala sengathi imali eningi kuwe noma mina. Kodwa uma sine $ 2 trillion ngeke. Futhi siyakwenza.
Kuzobiza cishe i $ 11 billion ngonyaka ukunikeza umhlaba ngamanzi ahlanzekile. Futhi, lokho kuzwakala sengathi kuningi. Ake sijikeleze ku-$ 50 billion ngonyaka ukuze sinikeze umhlaba kokubili kokudla namanzi. Ubani onalohlobo lwemali? Senza.
Yiqiniso, thina ezingxenyeni ezicebile zezwe asihlanganyeli imali, ngisho phakathi kwethu. Labo abadinga usizo kukhona lapha kanye nasekude.
Kodwa cabanga uma omunye wezizwe ezicebile, njenge-United States, isibonelo, kwakufanele abeke imali engu-$ 500 billion emfundweni yakhe (okusho ukuthi "isikweletu sekolishi" singaqala inqubo yokuzwakala njengokuthi "umhlatshelo womuntu"), izindlu ( okusho ukuthi akukho abantu abangenawo amakhaya), ingqalasizinda, kanye nemithombo ejwayelekile yokulima kanye nemikhuba yezolimo. Kuthiwani uma, esikhundleni sokuholela ekubhujisweni kwemvelo yemvelo, leli lizwe lalibambelela futhi liholele ekuholeni kwenye indawo?
(Qaphela ukuthi imfundo, njengokunakekelwa kwezempilo, yindawo lapho uhulumeni wase-US esebenzisa khona kakade okungaphezu kokwanele ukwenza kube mahhala kodwa uyayichitha ngokukhohlisa.)
Amandla we-green energy ayengeke avele ngokungazelelwe ukutshalwa kwezimali, futhi ukutshala imali okufanayo futhi, unyaka nonyaka. Kodwa imali yayivelaphi? $ 500 billion? Uma ngabe i-$ 1 trillion iwa esibhakabhakeni njalo ngonyaka, isigamu sayo sasingasala. Ngemuva kokuthi i-$ 50 billion ihlinzeke umhlaba ngokudla namanzi, kuthiwani uma enye imali eyi-$ 450 yezigidi ibhekene nokuhlinzeka umhlaba nge-green energy kanye nengqalasizinda, ukulondolozwa kokuphezulu, ukuvikelwa kwemvelo, izikole, imithi, izinhlelo zokushintshwa kwamasiko, nokufunda ngokuthula kanye nesenzo esingenzi lutho?
Usizo lwe-US lwangaphandle manje lungaba ngu-$ 23 billion ngonyaka. Ukuyifinyelela ku-$ 100 billion - ungalokothi ucabangele $ 523 billion! - kungaba nomthelela othakazelisayo, kuhlanganise nokulondolozwa kwempilo eminingi kanye nokuvimbela inani elikhulu lokuhlupheka. Futhi, uma esinye isici sengeziwe, yenza isizwe esenza isizwe esithandekayo kakhulu emhlabeni. I-poll yamuva yezizwe ze-65 ithola ukuthi i-United States ikude nezwe elivelele kakhulu, izwe libhekwa njengengozi enkulu yokuthula emhlabeni. Ingabe i-United States inesibopho sokuhlinzeka izikole kanye nemithi namaphakheji elanga, umbono wamaqembu amaphekula amelene nama-American uzoba njengama-anti-Switzerland noma amaqembu amaphekula aseCanada, kodwa uma kuphela enye into eyengeziwe - kuphela uma i $ I-1 trillion ivela lapho ivela khona ngempela.
Njalo ngonyaka, umhlaba uchitha cishe u-$ 2 trillion ezimpini futhi - ngokuyinhloko - ekulungiseleleni izimpi. I-United States isebenzisa cishe ingxenye yesigamu, cishe i-$ 1 trillion eminyangweni ehlukahlukene kuhlanganise nezempi, izwe, amandla, ukulondeka kwezwe, i-central intelligence agency, njll. Ngaphezulu kwengxenye yomhlaba wonke wokusetshenziswa kwempi yizwe lase-United States ama-allies, ne-chunk enkulu ukuthenga kwamanye amazwe kusuka ezinkampanini zase-US. Ukuyeka ukukhokhela impi kungasindisa impilo eminingi futhi kuqede umsebenzi ongenamakhono wokuphikisa umhlaba nokudala izitha. Kodwa ukuhambisa ngisho nengxenyana yalowo mali ezindaweni eziwusizo kungasindisa izikhathi eziningi lezo zibalo futhi kuqale ukudala ubungane esikhundleni sokuzonda.
Manje, abantu abaningi e-United States, futhi abantu abaningi emazweni amaningi acebile bazithola behluleka. Bangacabanga kanjani ngecebo lokukhulula okukhulu emhlabeni wonke? Akufanele. Kufanele bacabange ngomsebenzi omkhulu wokukhulula umhlaba wonke, kuhlanganise nekhoneni lawo. I-United States ingaqeda ubumpofu ekhaya futhi ishintshele imikhuba eqhubekayo ngenkathi idlula kude ukusiza umhlaba wenze okufanayo, futhi imali ishiye. Isimo sezulu asiyona ingxenye eyodwa yomhlaba. Sonke sisesikebheni esincane esibucayi ndawonye. Kodwa i-$ 1 trillion ngonyaka iyinani elikhulu lemali. Yingu- $ 10 billion izikhathi ze-100. Izinto ezimbalwa kakhulu zixhaswa nge $ 10 billion, cishe lutho nge $ 100 billion. Izwe elisha lonke livuleka uma izimali zempi ziyeka. Izinketho zihlanganisa ukukhipha intela kubantu abasebenzayo nokushintsha kwamandla ukuze kube khona amazinga wombuso namazinga wendawo. Kungakhathaliseki indlela, umnotho uzuza ngokususwa kwemali yezempi. Ukusebenzisa okufanayo kwezinye izindawo, ngisho nokukhipha intela kubantu abasebenza, kudala imisebenzi eminingi nemisebenzi ekhokha kangcono. Futhi kukhona imali eyanele yokwenza isiqiniseko sokuthi wonke umsebenzi owudingayo uyabuyiselwa futhi usizwe ekwenzeni ushintsho. Futhi-ke i-$ 1 trillion kabili kuya ku-$ 2 trillion uma lonke izwe lidabukisa futhi.
Kuzwakala njengephupho, futhi ngokuqinisekile kufanele kube iphupho. Akudingeki yini ukuthi sisebenzise imali yezempi ukuzivikela thina namaphoyisa iplanethi? Asikho. Sine ezinye izindlela zokuzivikela. I-militarism kusenza siphephe kancane. Futhi wonke umhlaba uphazamisa phezulu kwamaphaphu ayo angathanda ukuyeka ukuba ngumsebenzi wamaphoyisa aqokiwe futhi angabonakali ngempela emhlabeni wonke okwenza umonakalo omkhulu kunalokho okushoyo ukuvimbela futhi ukushiya izizwe ezibhubhisayo ngemva kokuvuka kwawo umzamo ngamunye wokuthi kwakhiwe isizwe.
Kungani ezinye izizwe ezicebile zingakutholi kudingeke ukuthi zichithe ngisho ne-10% yalokho okushiwo yi-United States okuthiwa ukuzivikela? Empeleni, iningi lazo zokusebenzisa impi, njengamanye amazwe aseMelika abasebenzisa impi ayisebenzeli injongo yokuzivikela. Ngisho noma umuntu esalokhu ekholelwa ekuvikelweni kwezempi, ukuvikela kusho ukulinda ogwini kanye nokuhamba emngceleni, izikhali zokulwa nezindiza, amathuluzi okulwa nokuhlasela okumesabayo, ukwesaba okuzokwehla ngokushesha uma izizwe zihambela eminyangweni yokuzivikela kwangempela. Izinqola ezisolwandle nasemkhathini wezwe ne-outerspace azivikeleki. Amagoti amisiwe ngokuphelele emazweni amaningi emhlabeni, njengoba amabutho ase-US ayenjalo, awavikeleki. Kuqala. Yingxenye yelogi elifanayo eliholela ezimpini ezinonya okuhloswe ngazo ekususeni izinsongo ezingenzeka esikhathini esizayo, zangempela noma ezingqondweni.
Esinye isidingo asikholelwa ngisho nasesidingo sokubuyiselwa emuva, impi evikela ngempela. Izifundo zekhulu elidlule zitholile lokho Amathuluzi angenasivivinye ayasebenza kakhulu ekumelaneni nodlame nokucindezelwa. Uma ngabe isizwe esisodwa sizohlasela omunye ezweni elibuswa phansi, lezi zinto kufanele zenzeke: abantu besizwe esilwahla kufanele benqabe ukuhlanganyela, abantu besizwe esihlaselwe kufanele banqabe ukubona igunya lomhlaseli, abantu bezwe kufanele bahambe isizwe esihlaselwe njengezisebenzi zokuthula kanye nezihlangu zabantu, imifanekiso kanye namaqiniso okuhlaselwa kufanele kuvele kubonakale yonke indawo, ohulumeni bezwe kufanele bavume uhulumeni onomthwalo kodwa hhayi abantu bayo, labo abathintekayo kufanele bavivinywe enkantolo yamazwe omhlaba, futhi izingxabano kufanele zilethwe kuya kokubambisana kwamanye amazwe.
Ngenxa yokuthi impi nokulungiswa kwempi akudingekile ukusivikela futhi kuvunyelwe kabanzi ukudala ubutha, ngaleyo ndlela kusenza siphephe kancane, singakwazi ukuhlunga yonke imiphumela yayo ngecala elifanayo lokuhlaziywa kwezindleko. Azikho izinzuzo ezingahle zenziwe kangcono ngaphandle kwempi. Izindleko ziningi: ukubulawa kwezinombolo eziningi zamadoda, abesifazane nabantwana kulokho okuye kwaba ngababulali abahlangene kakhulu, ubudlova obuseduze obugcina iminyaka ezayo, ukubhujiswa kwemvelo yemvelo engadlulela iminyaka eyizinkulungwane, ukuguguleka kokukhululeka komphakathi, inkohlakalo kahulumeni, isibonelo sobudlova esithathwe ngabanye, ukuhlushwa kwengcebo, ukuchitha njalo ngonyaka we $ 2 trillion.
Nansi imfihlo encane engcolile: impi ingaqedwa. Lapho ukudubula kwaqedwa, abantu abazange baqhubeke bezivikela. Ukuphela impi kusho ukuphela kwempi yokuzivikela. Kodwa akukho okulahlekile kulokho okuhlangenwe nakho, njengamathuluzi anamandla kunokuba impi isetshenziselwe izidingo zokuzivikela phakathi neminyaka ye-70 kusukela empini yokugcina abaningi abathanda ukufakazela kubonisa amandla empi okuhle nokulunga. Akumangalisi yini ukuthi abantu kufanele badlule emuva ngezigidi eziningi zezimpi baye evekeni elihluke kakhulu ukuthola ukuthi bacabangani njengesibonelo esisemthethweni sokuthi ukutshalwa kwezimali okuphakanyisiwe kwasuka nini kusukela obala? Kodwa leli zwe lihlukile emhlabeni weMpi Yezwe II. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi wenzani amashumi eminyaka ezinqumo ezenze leyo nkinga, sibhekene nezinkinga ezihluke kakhulu namuhla, ngeke sikwazi ukubhekana nalolu hlobo lwenkinga - ikakhulukazi uma sibeka imali ekuvimbeleni - futhi sinamathuluzi ahlukene okuzobhekana nayo.
Impi ayidingekile ukuze silondoloze indlela yethu yokuphila, njengoba kusho lokho. Futhi bekungeke yini kube yinto enecala uma ngabe kuyiqiniso? Sicabanga ukuthi amaphesenti angu-5 wesintu aqhubeke nokusebenzisa amaphesenti angu-30 wemithombo yezwe sidinga impi noma usongo lwempi. Kodwa umhlaba awunakho ukukhanya kwelanga noma umoya. Indlela yethu yokuphila ingathuthukiswa ngokubhujiswa okuncane nokusetshenziswa kancane. Izidingo zethu zamandla kufanele zihlangane ngezindlela ezizinzile, noma sizozibhubhisa thina, noma ngaphandle kwempi. Yilokho okushiwo yi ayinakugcina. Ngakho-ke, kungani uqhubeka isikhungo sokubulala abantu abaningi ukuze kusetshenziswe ukusetshenziswa kokuziphatha okuxhashazayo okuyochitha umhlaba uma impi ingenzi kuqala? Kungani kubangele ukwanda kwezikhali zenuzi nezinye izikhali ezimbi ukuze kuqhubekele umthelela omubi esimweni sezulu nesimo semvelo? Iqiniso liwukuthi uma sizokwazi ukulungisa ngokwanele ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu nokuwa kwezemvelo, sidinga ukuthi i-$ 2 trillion izwe elithengisa empini.
Impi akuyona ithuluzi lokuthuthukisa umhlaba. Impi idla isizwe esihlukumeza kakhulu, kodwa lezo izindleko zingenalutho uma kuqhathaniswa nomonakalo owenziwe ngokuhlaselwa. I-Afghanistan, i-Iraq, iLibya, i-Yemen, iPakistan, neSomalia ihluphekile, futhi izoqhubeka ihlupheka kakhulu ngenxa yezimpi zamanje zase-US. Lezi zimpi zithatha izinqwaba zempilo, cishe zonke zihlangothini olulodwa, cishe zonke zazo izimpilo zabantu abangenzi lutho ezizweni ezibahlasela. Kodwa, ngenkathi impi ibulala izimpilo eziningi, izikhathi eziningi lezo zinsuku zingasindiswa ngokuqondisa kabusha ingxenyana yenqwaba enkulu yemali esetshenziselwa impi. Ukulahlekelwa okungenani kakhulu kunezimpi nokulwa kwempi, singashintsha izimpilo zethu ekhaya, futhi senze izwe lethu libe othandekayo kakhulu emhlabeni ngokunikeza abanye usizo. Ngalokho okuyizindleko zokulwa izimpi e-Afghanistan nase-Iraq, ngabe singanikeza umhlaba ngamanzi ahlanzekile, siphelile indlala, sakha izikole ezingenakubalwa, futhi sakha imithombo yamandla aluhlaza kanye nezindlela zokulima eziqhubekayo emhlabeni wonke, kuhlanganise namakhaya ethu . Yisiphi isivikelo i-United States eyayiyodinga ezweni eliye lalinikeza izikole namandla kagesi? Futhi i-United States yayiyokhetha ukwenzani nayo yonke imali esele isele? Akukhona yini ukuthi kuyinkinga ejabulisayo okumelwe ibhekane nayo?
Ingabe sidinga impi ukuvimbela okuthile okubi nakakhulu? Akukho okubi nakakhulu. Izimpi akuzona amathuluzi asebenzayo okuvimbela izimpi ezinkulu. Izimpi aziphumelelanga ekuvimbeleni i-genocides. I-Rwanda idinga umlando onempi encane, futhi yayidinga amaphoyisa, ayidingi amabhomu. Futhi nalabo ababulewe nguhulumeni wezwe ngaphandle kokubulawa kabuhlungu kunelabo ababulawa nguhulumeni wabo. Impi yinto embi kunazo zonke esiyitholile. Asikhulumi ngobugqila obuhle noma ukudlwengulwa kwezingane noma ukuhlukunyezwa kwezingane. Impi ikhona kuleso sigaba sezinto ezimbi njalo.
Asinamathela yini empini ngoba singabantu? Kunezinto ezimbalwa esizisho ngazo. Akuyona ubugqila, hhayi ukuhlukunyezwa kwegazi, hhayi ukudubula, hhayi ukugibela amanzi, hhayi ama-sweatshops, hhayi isijeziso sokufa, hhayi izikhali zenuzi, ukuhlukumeza izingane, hhayi umdlavuza, ukulamba, hhayi i-filibuster noma i-senate noma i-electoral college noma ucingo lwezimali isikhathi sokudla. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yini esingayithandiyo sithi sinamathela ngokuphelele ngokumelene nentando yethu. Zingaki izikhungo ezinkulu ezidinga izimali ezinkulu kanye nemizamo ehlanganisiwe yezinombolo ezinkulu zabantu ongacabanga ukuthi sithi sinamathele kuze kube phakade ngokumelene nentando yethu? Kungani kulwa?
Uma ngabe sizodala isikhungo esisha esidinga ukutshalwa kwezimali emhlabeni wonke kwezingu-$ 2 trillion ngonyaka, cishe i-$ 1 trillion yalokho evela e-United States yedwa, futhi uma lesi sikhungo sisilimaza ngokwezomnotho, uma sonakalisa imvelo yethu yemvelo kakhulu, uma lasisusa ukukhululeka komphakathi, uma kuhlanganiswa umnotho wethu owenziwe kanzima esandleni sezinombolo ezincane zabathengi abonakele, uma ngabe kungasebenza kuphela ngokubamba iqhaza kwezinamba eziningi zabantu abasha iningi labo eliyobhekana nokuhlupheka ngokomzimba noma ngokwengqondo nokuthi ngubani ozokwenza kakhulu ukuthi azibulale, uma nje ehlanganisa laba bantu abasha futhi ebagqugquzela ukuba bahlanganyele esikhungweni sethu esisha, besithatha okungaphezu kwalokho okuzobahlinzeka ngemfundo yasekolishi, uma lesi sikhungo esisha senza uhulumeni kunzima kakhulu, uma kwenza isizwe sethu sesabe futhi sizondwe kwamanye amazwe, futhi uma umsebenzi wawo oyinhloko kwakuwukubulala izinkulungwane eziningi zezingane ezingenacala nogogo nomkhulu kanye nabantu beminyaka yonke, ngingakwazi inkinobho yezimvo eziningi esingase sizizwe ngokuphendula ekudalweni kwethu kwalesi sikhungo esisha esimangalisayo. Omunye wabo akayena "Ukuthi kubi kakhulu ukuthi sinamathela kulobu bukhosi kuze kube phakade." Kungani emhlabeni sizobe sibambelele kuso? Senze lokho. Singakuqeda.
Awu, omunye angase athi, kodwa indalo entsha ihluke esikhungweni esiye saba nathi njalo futhi siyohlala sinjalo. Akungabazeki lokho kuyiqiniso, kodwa impi empeleni iyindalo entsha. Izinhlobo zethu zibuyela emuva ku-100,000 eminyakeni engu-200,000. Impi ibuyela emuva kuphela i-12,000. Futhi phakathi nale minyaka ye-12,000, impi iye yaba yinkimbinkimbi. Iningi lemiphakathi ngezikhathi eziningi lenze ngaphandle kwalo. "Kuhlale kukhona impi endaweni ethile," kusho abantu. Yebo, akuzange kube njalo impi eminingi. Imikhuba esebenzise impi iye yasishiya kamuva. Abanye baye bayithatha. Ayilandelanga ukusweleka kwamandla noma ubuningi besibalo noma ubukhulu bentandokazi noma ubukhomanisi. Sekulandele ukwamukelwa kwamasiko kwempi. Futhi abantu abaye benza ngaphandle kwempi abazange bahlupheke ngoba bengekho. Ayikho icala elilodwa eliqoshiwe le-Post Traumatic Stress Disorder elenziwe yimpango yokulwa. Ngokuphambene nalokho, iningi labantu lihlupheka kabi ngokuhlanganyela empini futhi kufanele lilungiswe ngokucophelela ngaphambi kokuthatha ingxenye. Njengoba impi iphelile ukubandakanya ukulwa ngesandla, sekuye kwavulela abesifazane njengabantu, futhi abesifazane sebeqale ukuhlanganyela; kungaba sengathi kungenzeka ukuthi amadoda ayeke ukuhlanganyela.
Kulo mzuzu iningi labantu emhlabeni limelelwa ohulumeni abafaka imali encane empini nasekulungiseni impi kunokuba i-United States yenza - okungenani kakhulu, kulinganiswa ngokuphelele noma njengamaphesenti omnotho wezwe. Futhi abanye abantu bamelwa ohulumeni abangakaze balwe nempi emashumini eminyaka noma amakhulu eminyaka, abanye ngohulumeni abaye bafaka impi yabo emnyuziyamu.
Yiqiniso, omunye angase athi impikiswano yenkimbinkimbi yezimboni yezempi kanye nama-lobbyists kanye nama-propagandists ayinakunqotshwa. Kodwa bambalwa abakholelwa lokho. Kungani into enjengeyinkimbinkimbi yezimboni yezempi ingahlala unomphela? Ngokuqinisekile ukuphela impi kuyodinga okungaphezu kokutshela i-pollsters sifuna ukuthi iphelile. Ngokuqinisekile ohulumeni bethu bancane kakhulu ekuphenduleni imibono yomphakathi. Ngokuqinisekile sibhekene nabantu abanekhono abazobhekana nobunzima bokugcina abantu baseCushy bethatha. Kodwa ukuvuthwa okuvelele kuye kwavela emshinini wempi kaningi, kuhlanganise nokwenqaba ukuhlaselwa kwe-missile yase-US e-Syria ehlobo lwe-2013. Yini engagcinwa uma ingakwazi ukumiswa futhi ngokuphindaphindiwe kuze kube phakade, kuze kube yilapho umqondo wayo uphela ukuba unqandeke.
Amanye amazwe ase-US anjalo ukumisa amakhomishini ukusebenzela ekushintsheni kusuka empi kuya ekuthungeni ukuthula.
