Inhlekelele Yenuzi: Kucashunwe "Impi Ingamanga" NguDavid Swanson
Uma nje izikhali zenuzi zisekhona, cishe zizokwanda. Futhi inqobo nje uma zanda izinga lokwanda kungenzeka likhule. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi inqobo nje uma ezinye izifundazwe zinezikhali zenuzi, ezinye zizozifuna. Isibalo sezifunda zenuzi senyuke sisuka kweziyisithupha siya kweziyisishiyagalolunye kusukela ekupheleni kweMpi Yomshoshaphansi. Lelo nani lingase likhuphuke, ngoba manje sekunezindawo okungenani eziyisishiyagalolunye izwe elingeyona i-nuclear elingaya kuzo ukuze uthole ubuchwepheshe nezinto zokwakha, futhi izifunda eziningi manje sezinomakhelwane benuzi. Ezinye izifundazwe zizokhetha ukuthuthukisa amandla enuzi, naphezu kwezithiyo eziningi, ngoba kuzozisondeza ekuthuthukiseni izikhali zenuzi uma zinquma ukwenza kanjalo.
Uma nje izikhali zenuzi zisekhona, inhlekelele yenuzi ingase yenzeke ngokushesha noma kamuva, futhi lapho izikhali zanda, inhlekelele izofika ngokushesha. Kube khona inqwaba uma kungenjalo amakhulu okugeja eduze, izehlakalo lapho ingozi, ukudideka, ukungaqondi kahle, kanye/noma i-machismo engenangqondo icishe yabhubhisa umhlaba. Ngo-1980, uZbigniew Brzezinski wayesendleleni eyovusa uMongameli uJimmy Carter ukuze amtshele ukuthi iSoviet Union isiqhumise imicibisholo engu-220 lapho ezwa ukuthi othile ufake umdlalo wempi ohlelweni lwekhompyutha. Ngo-1983 uLieutenant Colonel waseSoviet wabuka ikhompuyutha yakhe imtshela ukuthi i-United States iqhumise imicibisholo. Wangabaza ukuphendula isikhathi eside ngokwanele ukuze athole ukuthi kwakuyiphutha. Ngo-1995, uMongameli waseRussia u-Boris Yeltsin wachitha imizuzu eyisishiyagalombili eqinisekisa ukuthi i-United States iqale ukuhlasela kwenyukliya. Emizuzwini emithathu ngaphambi kokuthi abuyele emuva futhi acekele phansi umhlaba, uthole ukuthi ukwethulwa bekungokwesathelayithi yesimo sezulu. Izingozi zihlala zingenzeka kunezenzo ezinobutha. Eminyakeni engamashumi amahlanu nesithupha ngaphambi kokuba amaphekula afike aphahlaze izindiza e-World Trade Center, amasosha aseMelika andiza ngengozi indiza yawo angena e-Empire State Building. Ngo-2007, imicibisholo yenuzi ehlomile eyisithupha yase-US yamenyezelwa ngephutha noma ngamabomu ukuthi ilahlekile, yafakwa endizeni lapho yethulwa khona, yase indizela ezweni lonke. Lapho umhlaba ubona ukuphuthelwa okuseduze kakhulu, maningi amathuba okuba sibone ukwethulwa kwangempela kwesikhali senuzi lapho ezinye izizwe zizosabela khona ngendlela efanayo. Futhi zonke izinto eziphilayo emhlabeni zizobe zingasekho.
Lokhu akulona icala lokuthi "Ukube izibhamu bezingekho emthethweni, abephula umthetho kuphela abebezoba nezibhamu." Lapho izizwe eziningi ezinama-nukes, futhi ziba nama-nukes engeziwe, maningi amathuba okuba amaphekula athole umphakeli. Iqiniso lokuthi amazwe anama-nukes okufanele aziphindiselele ngawo alivimbi nakancane kumaphekula afisa ukuwathola futhi awasebenzise. Eqinisweni, umuntu kuphela ozimisele ukuzibulala futhi ehlise umhlaba wonke ngesikhathi esifanayo ongasebenzisa nhlobo izikhali zenuzi.
Inqubomgomo yase-US yokungase kube nesiteleka sokuqala inqubomgomo yokuzibulala, inqubomgomo ekhuthaza ezinye izizwe ukuba zithole ama-nukes ekuzivikeleni; futhi kuwukwephulwa kweSivumelwano Sokungabhebhetheki KweNuclear, njengokwehluleka kwethu ukusebenzela ukuncishiswa kwezikhali kanye nokuqedwa (hhayi nje ukuncishiswa) kwezikhali zenuzi kwamazwe amaningi (hhayi nje ama-bi-lateral).
Akukho ukuhwebelana okufanele kwenziwe ekuqedeni izikhali zenuzi, ngoba azifaki isandla ekuphepheni kwethu. Azikuvimbeli ukuhlasela kwamaphekula ngabalingisi abangewona ohulumeni nganoma iyiphi indlela. Futhi abengezi iota emandleni ethu ezempi ukuze avimbe izizwe ekusihlaseleni, uma kubhekwa ikhono le-United States lokucekela phansi noma yikuphi noma kuphi nganoma yisiphi isikhathi ngezikhali ezingezona ezenuzi. Ama-Nukes nawo awanqobi izimpi, njengoba kubonakala eqinisweni lokuthi i-United States, i-Soviet Union, i-United Kingdom, i-France ne-China alahlekelwe izimpi ngokumelene namandla angewona enyukliya ngenkathi ephethe ama-nukes. Futhi, uma kwenzeka kuba nempi yenuzi yomhlaba wonke, ingabe izikhali eziningi ezimbi zingavikela i-United States nganoma iyiphi indlela ku-apocalypse.
Nokho, ukubala kungabukeka kuhluke kakhulu ezizweni ezincane. INorth Korea isithole izikhali zenuzi futhi ngaleyo ndlela yehlise kakhulu i-bellicosity lapho isuka e-United States. I-Iran, ngakolunye uhlangothi, ayikawatholi ama-nukes, futhi ingaphansi kosongo oluqhubekayo. I-Nukes isho ukuvikelwa esizweni esincane. Kodwa isinqumo esibonakala sinengqondo sokuba izwe lenuzi sandisa kuphela amathuba okuketula umbuso, noma impi yombango, noma ukwanda kwempi, noma iphutha lemishini, noma ukufutheka kolaka endaweni ethile emhlabeni okuqeda sonke.
Ukuhlolwa kwezikhali kube yimpumelelo enkulu, kuhlanganise nase-Iraq ngaphambi kokuhlasela kuka-2003. Inkinga, kuleso simo, kwaba ukuthi ukuhlolwa kwakunganakwa. Noma ngabe i-CIA isebenzisa lokho kuhlola njengethuba lokuhlola nokuzama ukugqugquzela ukuketula umbuso, futhi njengoba uhulumeni wase-Iraq eqiniseka ukuthi ukubambisana ngeke kuzuze lutho ngokumelene nesizwe esizimisele ukusiketula, ukuhlola kusasebenza. Ukuhlolwa kwamazwe ngamazwe kwawo wonke amazwe, kuhlanganise nawethu, kungasebenza nakho. Yiqiniso, i-United States isetshenziselwa izindinganiso eziphindwe kabili. Kulungile ukuhlola wonke amanye amazwe, hhayi awethu. Kodwa nathi sesikujwayele ukuphila. U-Daley ubeka ukukhetha esinakho:
“Yebo, ukuhlolwa kwamazwe ngamazwe lapha kuzophazamisa ubukhosi bethu. Kodwa ukuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu e-athomu lapha nakho kuzophazamisa ubukhosi bethu. Umbuzo nje uwukuthi, yikuphi kulokhu kugxambukela okubili esikuthola kungathandeki kangako.”
Impendulo ayicacile, kodwa kufanele kube.
Uma sifuna ukuphepha ekuqhumeni kwezikhali zenuzi, kufanele silahle izimboni zamandla enuzi kanjalo nemicibisholo yenuzi kanye nemikhumbi-ngwenya. Selokhu uMongameli u-Eisenhower akhuluma “ngama-athomu okuthula” sizwile ngezinzuzo okuthiwa zinhle ngemisebe yenuzi. Akekho kubo oqhudelana nokungalungi. Isizinda samandla enuzi singaqhunyiswa kalula amaphekula ngesenzo esingenza ukundiza indiza ingene esakhiweni kubonakale sengathi kuyinto encane. Amandla enuzi, ngokungafani nelanga noma umoya nanoma yimuphi omunye umthombo, adinga uhlelo lokuphuma, adala izinhloso zamaphekula kanye nemfucumfucu enobuthi ehlala phakade naphakade, ayikwazi ukuthola umshwalense wangasese noma abatshalizimali abazimele abazimisele ngokuzifaka engozini, futhi kumele baxhaswe yi- umgcinimafa womphakathi. I-Iran, i-Israel, ne-United States zonke ziqhumise izikhungo zenuzi e-Iraq. Iyiphi inqubomgomo enengqondo engadala izikhungo ezinezinye izinkinga eziningi nazo eziyizinjongo zokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu? Asiwadingi amandla enuzi.
Singase singakwazi ukuphila emhlabeni onamandla enuzi atholakala noma kuphi kuwo. Inkinga ngokuvumela izizwe ukuba zithole amandla enuzi kodwa hhayi izikhali zenuzi ukuthi eyokuqala ibeka isizwe eduze kwakamuva. Isizwe esizizwa sisongelwa singase sikholelwe ukuthi izikhali zenuzi ziwukuphela kwesivikelo saso, futhi singase sithole amandla enuzi ukuze sibe isinyathelo esiseduze nebhomu. Kodwa isiqhwaga somhlaba wonke sizobona uhlelo lwamandla enuzi njengengozi, ngisho noma lusemthethweni, futhi lusongela kakhulu. Lona umjikelezo osiza ukwanda kwezikhali zenuzi. Futhi siyazi ukuthi lokho kuholela kuphi.
Isibhamu esikhulu sezikhali zenuzi asivikeli ebuphekula, kodwa umbulali oyedwa onebhomu lenuzi angaqala i-Armagedoni. Ngo-May 2010, indoda ethile yazama ukuqhumisa ibhomu e-Times Square, eNew York City. Kwakungelona ibhomu lenuzi, kodwa kucatshangwa ukuthi kwakungenzeka ngoba uyise wale ndoda wayephethe ukuqapha izikhali zenuzi ePakistan. NgoNovemba 2001, u-Osama bin Laden wathi
“Uma i-United States izama ukusihlasela ngezikhali zenuzi noma zamakhemikhali, simemezela ukuthi sizoziphindiselela ngokusebenzisa uhlobo olufanayo lwezikhali. EJapane nakwamanye amazwe lapho i-United States ibulale amakhulu ezinkulungwane zabantu, i-US ayizibheki izenzo zabo njengobugebengu.”
Uma amaqembu angewona wombuso eqala ukujoyina uhlu lwamabhizinisi aqoqa ama-nukes, ngisho noma wonke umuntu ngaphandle kwase-United States efunga ukuthi ngeke ashaye kuqala, amathuba engozi anda kakhulu. Futhi isiteleka noma ingozi ingaqala kalula ukwanda. Ngo-October 17, 2007, ngemva kokuba uMongameli Vladimir Putin waseRussia enqabe izimangalo zase-US zokuthi i-Iran yakha izikhali zenuzi, uMongameli uGeorge W. Bush waphakamisa ithemba “leMpi Yezwe Yesithathu.” Ngaso sonke isikhathi uma kunesiphepho noma ukuchitheka kukawoyela, kuningi engikutshelile. Lapho kuba nokuqothulwa kwezikhali zenuzi, ngeke kusale muntu ozothi “ngikuxwayisile,” noma akuzwe.
