Kukhona inketho eyodwa kuphela uma kukhulunywa ngezikhali zenuzi, futhi lokho ukwenza konke esingakwenza ukuze sikuqede ngaphambi kokuba kusiqede. Umkhandlu waseNew York uzovota ngoJanuwari 28, 2020, ukuze wenze ingxenye yawo ngokuvota ngezinyathelo ezimbili esevele zinabaxhasi abanele ukubanikeza amandla amakhulu e-veto-proof.
[UPDATE: UMkhandlu Wedolobha uzobamba umhlangano wokulalela kepha ungeke uvote ngomhla ka-1/28.]
Eyodwa umthethosivivinywa lokho kuzokwakha "ikomidi elelulekayo elizobheka ukuphucwa izikhali zenuzi kanye nezinkinga eziphathelene nokwazi nokuqinisa idolobha laseNew York njengendawo engenazo izikhali zenuzi."
Owesibili yilo isinqumo lokho “kubiza uMphathi Wezokuphatha waseNew York ukuba ayalele izimali zempesheni zabasebenzi bakahulumeni eNew York City ukuba zihlukane futhi zigweme noma ikuphi ukutholakala kwezezimali ezinkampanini ezibandakanyeka ekukhiqizeni nasekulondolozeni izikhali zenuzi, kuqinisekisa iNew York City njengeNuclear Weapons Free Zone, futhi ujoyina Isikhalazo Samadolobha ase-ICAN, esamukela ukwamukelwa futhi sinxusa i-United States ukuthi isekele futhi ijoyine iSivumelwano Sokuvinjelwa Kwezikhali Zenuzi. ”
Izigatshana "kanti" eziholela esitatimendeni esingenhla zicaciselwe i-New York City, kodwa zingaguqulwa kunoma iyiphi indawo emhlabeni. Kubandakanya lokhu:
“Njengoba, imiphumela eyinhlekelele yezenhlalakahle kanye nemvelo ingavela kunoma yikuphi ukuqhuma kwenuzi eNew York City futhi ingabhekiswa ngokwanele; ukuqeda izikhali zenuzi kuhlala kuyindlela okuwukuphela kwayo yokuqinisekisa ukuthi izikhali zenuzi aziphinde zisetshenziswe ngaphansi kwanoma yiziphi izimo; futhi. . .
"Njengoba, iNew York City inesibopho esikhethekile, njengesiza semisebenzi yeManhattan Project kanye nesixhumanisi sokuxhasa ngezikhali izikhali zenuzi, ukuzwakalisa ubumbano nazo zonke izisulu kanye nemiphakathi elinyazwe ukusetshenziswa kwezikhali zenuzi, ukuhlolwa nemisebenzi ehlobene nayo;"
Isinqumo sikubeka kucace ukuthi ukujikijela ngeke kube yinto engeyona nje eyakhe:
“Njengoba, Ngokombiko wango-2018 ohlanganiswe yiDon Bank on the Bomb, izikhungo zezezimali ezingama-329 emhlabeni jikelele ezibandakanya iGoldman Sachs, iBhange laseMelika, neJP Morgan Chase phakathi kwabanye ziye zatshala imali ngokuxhasa, ukukhiqiza noma ukukhiqiza izikhali zenuzi nge IBlackRock neCapital Group, okungabanikeli abaphezulu kunabo bonke ezikhungweni zezezimali ezizinze e-United States, nokutshala kwabo imali ebalelwa kuma- $ 38 billion naku- $ 36 billion ngokulandelana; futhi
“Njengoba, Uhlelo lwempesheni lwabantu asebethathe umhlalaphansi eDolobheni laseNew York lunotshalo-mali olubalulekile kulezi zikhungo zezezimali nakwezinye izinkampani ezibandakanyeka ekukhiqizeni izingxenye ezisemqoka zokugcina nokugcina izikhali zenuzi ngokubanjwa kwezimali, amabhondi, nezinye izimpahla, ngokusho kombiko wonyaka okhishwe yi-New York City Employees 'Retirement System; ”
Umfelandawonye omkhulu wezinhlangano ubelokhu uxhasa isinqumo kanye nomthethosivivinywa osuhlelelwe amavoti manje. U-Alice Slater, iLungu leBhodi le World BEYOND War, kanye ne-UN Representative ye-Nuclear Age Peace Foundation, bazoba ngomunye wabantu abaningi abafakazayo ngoJanuwari 28. Okulandelayo ubufakazi bakhe obulungiselelwe:

Malungu Athandekayo womkhandlu waseNew York,
Ngibonga kakhulu futhi ngibonga ngamunye wabo oxhase lo mthetho osalindile, i-Res. 976 kanye ne-Int. 1621. Ukuzimisela kwakho kuyancomeka ekuboniseni umhlaba ukuthi uMkhandlu waseNew York City uyakhuphuka futhi uthathe izinyathelo zomlando ukuxhasa imizamo yakamuva yomhlaba yokuqeda ukuvimba ibhomu! Ukuzimisela kwakho ukusebenzisa amandla nokuqina kweNew York City ukucela uhulumeni wethu wase-US ukuthi asayine futhi aqinisekise iSivumelwano Esisha Sokuvinjelwa Kwezikhali ZaseNyukliya (TPNW) kanye nokusebenzela ukwehlukaniswa kwezimpesheni ze-NYC ezivela kutshalomali kubakhiqizi bezikhali zenuzi ukwazisa kakhulu. Kulo mzamo, iNew York City izobe ijoyina Umkhankaso Wamadolobha Womkhankaso Womhlaba Wonke Wokuqeda Izikhali Zenuzi, osanda kuklonyeliswa ngeNobel Peace Prize ngomkhankaso wayo weminyaka eyishumi owaphumelela okwaholela esivumelwaneni sokuvinjelwa okuxoxiswene nge-UN. Ngesenzo sakho, iNew York City izojoyina amanye amadolobha ezifundazweni zezikhali zenuzi ezibusayo futhi ithi ngaphansi kokuvikelwa kwesivimbeli senuzi saseMelika ohulumeni baso abenqaba ukujoyina amadolobha e-PTNW– kubandakanya iParis, iGeneva, iSidney, iBerlin, kanye Amadolobha ase-US afaka phakathi iLos Angeles neWashington, DC. bonke benxusa ohulumeni babo ukuba bajoyine isivumelwano.
Bengisebenza ukuqeda izimpi kusukela ngo-1968 ngenkathi ngizwa kuthelevishini ukuthi uHo Chi Minh, uMongameli waseNyakatho yeVietnam wayenxuse uWoodrow Wilson ngo-1919, ukuba amsize akhiphe ababusi bamakoloni baseFrance eVietnam. I-US yamenqaba futhi abaseSoviet babejabule kakhulu ukusiza, yingakho waba yikhomanisi! Ngabo lobo busuku ngabona ku-TV ukuthi abafundi baseColumbia University babevalele uMongameli wesikole ehhovisi lakhe futhi babenodlame ekolishi, ngoba babengafuni ukubuthelwa empini engekho emthethweni futhi engenasimilo yaseVietnam. Ngangihlala emadolobheni nezingane zami ezimbili futhi ngangithuke kakhulu. Angikholwanga ukuthi lokhu kwenzeka eMelika, e-Columbia University, eNew York City, lapho ugogo nomkhulu wami bahlala khona ngemuva kokufuduka eYurophu bebalekela impi nokuchitheka kwegazi futhi nami nabazali bami sakhula. Ngigcwele intukuthelo elungile, ngaya kwinkulumompikiswano phakathi kuklebe namajuba ekilabhini yangakithi yeDemocratic, eMassapequa, ngajoyina amajuba, kungekudala ngaba nguSihlalo woMkhankaso ka-Eugene McCarthy eLong Island's 2nd Isifunda seCongressional, futhi akaze ayeke ukulwela ukuthula. Ngisebenze emkhankasweni kaMcGovern wokuqokwa kukaMongameli weDemokhrasi ukuqeda iMpi yaseVietnam, kuze kube yizinsuku zokuqothulwa kwenuzi eNew York City kanye nokunyakaza kwekhaya lapha obekugcina imikhumbi ethwele amabhomu enuzi iphuma emachwebeni eNew York City, iye kulezi zinsuku zakamuva ukunqoba kwesenzo sezakhamizi, ukwamukelwa kweSivumelwano Esisha Sokuvimbela Izikhali Zenuzi. Lesi sivumelwano esisha sivimbela izikhali zenuzi njengoba nje umhlaba uvimbele izikhali zamakhemikhali nezebhayoloji kanye namabhomu agqitshwayo namabhomu eqoqo.
Kunezikhali zenuzi ezingaba ngu-16,000 emhlabeni wethu kanti eziyi-15,000 zazo ziseMelika naseRussia. Zonke ezinye izifundazwe ezinezikhali zenuzi zinenkulungwane phakathi kwazo — i-UK, iFrance iChina, iNdiya, iPakistan, i-Israel neNyakatho Korea. Isivumelwano Sokwenqabela Ukwanda Kuka-1,000 (i-NPT) saba nesithembiso esivela emazweni amahlanu — i-US, iRussia, i-UK, iFrance neChina — sokunikela ngezikhali zawo zenuzi uma wonke amanye amazwe omhlaba ethembisa ukungazitholi. Wonke umuntu usayine, ngaphandle kweNdiya, iPakistan, ne-Israel futhi bazakhela izindawo zabo zokulwa nenuzi. Isivumelwano se-NPT sikaFaustian sathembisa wonke amazwe avuma ukungazitholi izikhali zenuzi “ilungelo elingenakuphikwa” emandleni “anokuthula”, ebanikeza zonke izikhiye zemboni yamabhomu. INorth Korea yathola amandla ayo “okunokuthula” yabe seyishiya i-NPT yenza amabhomu enuzi. Besinovalo lokuthi i-Iran iyakwenza lokho futhi, yize beqinisekisa ukuthi bamane bacebisa i-uranium ngokusetshenziswa ngokuthula.
Namuhla, zonke izifundazwe zezikhali zenuzi zivuselela futhi zivuselele izinqolobane zazo, yize kube nezivumelwano nezivumelwano eminyakeni edlule ezinciphise izikhali zenuzi zomhlaba zisuka ekuphakameni kwamabhomu angama-70,000. Ngokudabukisayo, izwe lethu, i-US, belingumgqugquzeli wokwanda kwenuzi eminyakeni edlule:
–U-Truman wasenqaba isicelo sikaStalin sokuba aphendulele ibhomu kwi-UN esanda kumiswa futhi alibeke ngaphansi kolawulo lwamazwe omhlaba ngemuva kokubhujiswa okuyinhlekelele eHiroshima naseNagasaki, lapho kulinganiselwa ukuthi okungenani abantu abayizi-135,000 bafa ujuqu, naphezu kwenhloso ye-UN “yokuqeda isihlava sempi ”.
–Emuva kokuwa kodonga, futhi uGorbachev waqeda ngokumangalisayo ukuhluthwa kweSoviet yaseMpumalanga Yurophu, uReagan wasenqaba isicelo sikaGorbachev sokuqeda izikhali zenuzi ngenxa yokuthi uReagan wayeka izinhlelo zase-US zeStar Wars ukuze afeze ukubusa emkhathini.
UClinton wasenqaba isicelo sikaPutin sokusika izikhali eziyinkulungwane umuntu ngamunye futhi wabiza wonke umuntu etafuleni ukuze kuxoxiswane ngesivumelwano sokuqeda nya, inqobo nje uma i-US imisa izinhlelo zayo zokwephula iSivumelwano Sokulwa Nemicibisholo Yango-1,000 yafaka imicibisholo eRomania nasePoland.
- UBush empeleni waphuma esivumelwaneni se-ABM ngonyaka ka-2000 manje uTrump usephumile esivumelwaneni se-Intermediate-Range Nuclear Force ngo-1987 ne-USSR.
-U-Obama, ngenxa yokuncishiswa okungatheni ezindaweni zethu zenuzi lapho axoxisana noMedvedev ngamabhomu enuzi ayi-1500, wathembisa uhlelo lwenuzi oluyisigidigidi esisodwa eminyakeni engama-30 ezayo ngezimboni ezimbili ezintsha zamabhomu e-Oak Ridge naseKansas City, nemicibisholo emisha , izindiza, imikhumbi-ngwenya namakhanda empi. UTrump uqhubeke nohlelo luka-Obama waze walukhulisa ngo- $ 52 billion eminyakeni eyishumi ezayo [i]
IChina neRussia baphakamisa izingxoxo ngo-2008 nango-2015 mayelana neSivumelwano Sokumodela abasibeka etafuleni ukuvimbela izikhali emkhathini futhi i-US ivimbe noma yiziphi izingxoxo eKomidini le-UN Lokulwa Nezikhali eliboshwe ngokuvumelana.
- UPutin uphakamise u-Obama ukuthi i-US neRussia baxoxisane ngesivumelwano sokuvimbela impi yamakhompiyutha, okwaliwa yiMelika. [ii]
UWalt Kelly, umdwebi wemidwebo we-Pogo wamahlaya ka-1950, uPogo uthi, "Sihlangane nesitha kanti unguye!"
Ngokuxoxisana kweSivumelwano Esisha Sokuvimbela Izikhali Zenyukliya, manje sesinethuba lokuphumelela lezakhamizi kanye namaDolobha kanye neMazwe emhlabeni wonke ukuthi athathe isinyathelo sokubuyisa inkambo ekubambeni umhlaba wethu ube yinhlekelele yenuzi eyinhlekelele. Ngalesi sikhathi, kunemicibisholo yezikhali zenuzi engu-2500 e-US naseRussia ebhekise kuwo wonke amadolobha ethu amakhulu. Ngokuqondene neNew York City, njengoba iculo lihamba, “Uma singakwazi ukufika lapha, sizofika noma kuphi!” futhi kuyamangalisa futhi kuyakhuthaza ukuthi lo Mkhandlu Wedolobha uzimisele ukwengeza izwi lawo ukufuna isenzo esisemthethweni nesisebenzayo sezwe elingenazikhali zenuzi! Ngibonga kakhulu!!
