Impendulo yempi yase-Ukraine ayinqunyelwe ekukhetheni phakathi kwe-pacifism namandla ezempi.
Ukungabi nodlame kungaphezu kwe-pacifism. Ukungabi nabudlova kwenziwa imikhankaso emazingeni aphansi emhlabeni wonke yokumelana nokucindezelwa, ukuvikela amalungelo abantu, ngisho nokuketula omashiqela—ngaphandle kwezikhali ezibulalayo.
Ungathola izindlela ezingaphezu kuka-300 ezahlukene zesenzo esingenalo udlame kanye nemikhankaso edumile engu-1200+ I-Global Nonviolent Action Database. Engeza Izindaba Zokungabekezeleli futhi Ukuguquka Ukungaboni kokuphakelayo kwezindaba zakho zamasonto onke futhi ufunde mayelana nokumelana okungenabudlova emhlabeni jikelele.
Ukungabi nodlame kusekelwe emikhubeni esiyisebenzisa nsuku zonke - ukubambisana, ukubhekana nezinkinga emindenini nasezinhlanganweni, ukubhekana nezinqubomgomo ezingalungile, nokudala ezinye izinqubo nezikhungo - sisebenzisa izinsiza zethu, sizibandakanya nobuntu.
Isinyathelo sokuqala siwukunaka. Yima futhi uzwe imithelela yodlame. Usizi nabantu base-Ukrainian kanye nemindeni yamasosha aphoqeleka ukuba alwe futhi afele empini (I-UN ilinganisela ukuthi amasosha aseRussia ayi-100,000 kanye nezakhamizi zase-Ukraine eziyi-8,000 ezibulewe).
Okwesibili, sabela ezidingweni zobuntu.
Okwesithathu, funda ku Izimpi Zempi Zamazwe Ngamazwe indlela yokwelula ubumbano nalabo abaseRussia, Ukraine naseBelarus abenqaba ukulwa, ababhikishayo, babekezelele ejele, futhi babaleke.
Okwesine, funda umlando wokumelana okungenabudlova nokucindezelwa, ukuhlasela, kanye nomsebenzi. Lapho imibuso yangaphandle ithatha iDenmark, iNorway (WW II), iNdiya (ikoloniyali yaseBrithani), iPoland, i-Estonia (amaSoviet), ukumelana nobudlova ngokuvamile kwakusebenza kangcono kunobudlova obunobudlova.
Isibopho sezombangazwe sihamba phambili. UGandhi, ososayensi bezepolitiki uGene Sharp, Jamila Raqib, Futhi Erica Chenoweth bathola ukuthi amandla empeleni ancike “emvumeni yababusi.” Amandla ayakhuphuka futhi ehla ekubambisaneni okudumile noma ukungasebenzisani.
Okubaluleke kakhulu, izindlela akudingeki zivuleleke, zingafuni ukuzibulala. Abantu baseNdiya benqaba ukubambisana, ngeziteleka kanye nokuduba, futhi bagomela amandla abo omnotho azinze endaweni, behlula umbuso wamaNgisi. Abantu abamnyama baseNingizimu Afrika bake bazama udlame kodwa kwaze kwaba yilapho beduba futhi bahlanganiswa nalokho kuduba umphakathi wamazwe omhlaba bake baketula ubandlululo.
UDkt King uxwayise ngokuthi impi, ubuhlanga kanye nokuxhashazwa kwezomnotho kuwububi obuphindwe kathathu bobudlova obuqinisa omunye nomunye futhi busongela umphefumulo waseMelika. INkosi yayicacile enkulumweni yakhe ye-Beyond Vietnam ukuthi ukulwa nempi kungaphezu kokulwa nempi. Lonke uhlelo lokusebenzisa imali kwezempi, amabutho embulunga yonke, izikhali zokucekela phansi abantu abaningi, nesiko lokuhlonishwa kwezempi kwaholela abantu baseMelika ukuba babekezelele “umqaphi omkhulu wobudlova emhlabeni,” kusho iNkosi.
Esikhundleni sokufunda izifundo eMpini yaseVietnam, i-US yaphendula ukufa okudabukisayo kwe-2,996 ku-9/11 ngezimpi e-Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria nasePakistan, okuholele ekufeni kwabantu ngobudlova be-387,072. I-US isekela omashiqela emhlabeni jikelele ngokuthengiswa kwezikhali, ukuketulwa kwe-CIA, kanye nokunqotshwa komnyakazo wentando yeningi. I-US isilungele ukubhubhisa yonke impilo yomuntu ngezikhali zenuzi.
I-Pacifism ukwenqaba ukulwa empini. Ukumelana okungenabudlova yiyo yonke inqwaba yezindlela abantu abazisebenzisayo ukumelana namandla ezempi.
E-Ukraine, masifune ukuthi amalungu ethu akhethiwe eCongress enze uMongameli agcizelele ukuthi i-Ukraine ixoxisane ngokunqanyulwa komlilo nokuqedwa kwezimpi. I-US kufanele ikhuthaze i-Ukraine ukuthi ibe yizwe elingathathi hlangothi. Masisekele ukuphikiswa kwabantu okungenabudlova kanye nosizo lokusiza abantu.
Abaningi bathethelela ubudlova egameni lokuthula. Lolo hlobo lokuthula yilokho umRoma wasendulo uTacitus akubiza ngokuthi “ugwadule.”
Labo bethu abahlala “emandleni amakhulu” e-United States of America bangakwazi ukwenza izinto ngokungabi nodlame ngokungabe besakuthethelela ukubandakanyeka kwezempi yase-US kunoma iyiphi ingxabano, bayeke ukudluliselwa kwezikhali kwabanye, banciphise uxhaso lwemishini yempi ebhubhisayo esiyinika amandla ngezintela namavoti ethu, futhi ukwakha amandla eqiniso asekelwe emakhonweni nasemandleni abantu, kanye nempumelelo yokuphikiswa okungenabudlova okwenziwa emhlabeni wonke.
