Izinhlangano zikazwelonke nezesifunda ezingaphezu kuka-60 ngoLwesithathu zikhiphe isitatimende esihlanganyelwe zifuna kuqedwe imicibisholo yenuzi esekwe emhlabeni engu-400 manje ehlomile futhi exwayisa ngokuqhunyiswa kwezinwele e-United States.
Isitatimende, esinesihloko esithi “A Call to Eliminate ICBMs,” sixwayisa ngokuthi “imicibisholo ecitshwayo ye-intercontinental ballistic iyingozi ngendlela eyingqayizivele, andisa kakhulu amathuba okuthi i-alamu engamanga noma ukubalwa kabi kungaholela empini yenuzi.”
Icaphuna isiphetho esafinyelelwa ngowayenguNobhala Wezokuvikela uWilliam Perry sokuthi ama-ICBM "angase abangele impi yenuzi ngengozi," lezi zinhlangano zinxuse uhulumeni wase-US ukuthi "avale ama-ICBM angama-400 manje asezindaweni ezingaphansi komhlaba ezihlakazeke ezifundazweni ezinhlanu - iColorado, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota kanye ne-Wyoming.”
"Esikhundleni sokuba yinoma yiluphi uhlobo lokuvimbela, ama-ICBM ahlukile - umsunguli obonakalayo wokuhlasela kwenyukliya," kusho isitatimende. "Impela ama-ICBM amosha izigidigidi zamarandi, kodwa okuwenza ahluke usongo alubeka kuso sonke isintu."
U-Norman Solomon, umqondisi kazwelonke we-RootsAction.org, uthe lesi sitatimende singamelela uguquko ezinhlobonhlobo zezinketho okudingidwa ngazo mayelana nama-ICBM. "Kuze kube manje, ingxoxo yomphakathi icishe iphelele embuzweni omncane wokuthi kwakhiwe uhlelo olusha lwe-ICBM noma kunamathele emicibisholo ecitshwayo ekhona iMinuteman III amashumi eminyaka," esho. “Lokho kufana nokubangisana ngokuthi singalungiswa yini izihlalo zedekhi ku-Titanic yenuzi. Zombili izinketho zigcina izingozi ezifanayo eziyingqayizivele zempi yenuzi ezibandakanya ama-ICBM. Isikhathi sokunweba ngempela inkulumo-mpikiswano ye-ICBM, futhi lesi sitatimende esihlanganyelwe esivela ezinhlanganweni zase-US siyisinyathelo esibalulekile kulokho.”
I-RootsAction kanye ne-Just Foreign Policy ihole uhlelo lokuhlela oluholele ekutheni lesi sitatimende sikhishwe namuhla.
Nasi isitatimende esigcwele, silandelwa uhlu lwezinhlangano ezisayinayo:
Isitatimende esihlanganyelwe sezinhlangano zase-US sikhishwa ngoJanuwari 12, 2022
Isicelo sokuqeda ama-ICBM
Imicibisholo ye-Intercontinental ballistic iyingozi ngendlela ehlukile, ikhulisa kakhulu amathuba okuthi i-alamu yamanga noma ukubalwa kabi kuzoholela empini yenuzi. Asikho isinyathelo esibaluleke kakhulu i-United States engasithatha ukunciphisa amathuba okucekelwa phansi kwezikhali zenuzi emhlabeni wonke kunokuqeda ama-ICBM ayo.
Njengoba owayenguNobhala Wezokuvikela uWilliam Perry echazile, “Uma izinzwa zethu zibonisa ukuthi imicibisholo yesitha isendleleni eya e-United States, umongameli kuzofanele acabangele ukwethula ama-ICBM ngaphambi kokuba imicibisholo yesitha iwabhubhise; uma seziqalisiwe, azikwazi ukukhunjulwa. Umongameli uzoba nemizuzu engaphansi kwengama-30 ukwenza leso sinqumo esibi.” Futhi uNobhala uPerry wabhala: “Okokuqala nokubaluleke kakhulu, i-United States ingaqeda ngokuphepha amandla ayo acitshwayo asekelwe emhlabeni e-intercontinental ballistic ballistic (ICBM), okuyingxenye ebalulekile yenqubomgomo yenuzi yeMpi Yomshoshaphansi. Ukuhoxisa ama-ICBM kuzokonga izindleko ezinkulu, kodwa akuzona kuphela isabelomali esingazuza. Le micibisholo ingezinye zezikhali eziyingozi kakhulu emhlabeni. Angase abangele ngisho nempi yenuzi ngengozi.”
Kunokuba abe yinoma yiluphi uhlobo lokuvimbela, ama-ICBM ahlukile - umsunguli obonakalayo wokuhlasela kwenuzi. I-ICBMs imosha ngempela izigidigidi zamarandi, kodwa okuwenza ahluke usongo alubeka kuso sonke isintu.
Abantu base-United States basekela izindleko ezinkulu lapho bekholelwa ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwemali kuyabavikela bona nabathandekayo babo. Kodwa ama-ICBM empeleni asenza siphephe kancane. Ngokulahla wonke ama-ICBM ayo futhi ngaleyo ndlela isuse isisekelo sokuthi "i-US yethulwe ngesixwayiso," i-US izokwenza umhlaba wonke uphephe - noma ngabe iRussia neChina bakhethe ukulandela noma cha.
Konke kusengcupheni. Izikhali zenuzi zingacekela phansi impucuko futhi zidale umonakalo oyinhlekelele endaweni ezungezile yomhlaba “ngobusika benuzi,” kubangele indlala enkulu kuyilapho cishe ziqeda ezolimo. Leyo yingqikithi yesidingo sokuvala ama-ICBM angama-400 manje asezindaweni ezingaphansi komhlaba ezihlakazeke ezifundazweni ezinhlanu - iColorado, iMontana, iNebraska, iNyakatho Dakota ne-Wyoming.
Ukuvalwa kwalezo zikhungo ze-ICBM kufanele kuhambisane nokutshalwa kwezimali okukhulu komphakathi ukuze kuxhaswe izindleko zoshintsho kanye nokuhlinzeka ngemisebenzi ekhokha kahle ekhiqizayo ekuchumeni kwezomnotho kwesikhathi eside kwemiphakathi ethintekile.
Ngisho nangaphandle kwama-ICBM, usongo olukhulu lwenuzi lwase-US luzohlala. I-United States izoba namandla enyukliya akwazi ukuvimbela ukuhlasela kwenuzi nganoma yisiphi isitha esingase simcabange: amabutho afakwe ezindizeni, akhumbulekayo, noma emikhunjini engaphansi kwamanzi ehlala ingenabungozi, futhi ngaleyo ndlela ingabi ngaphansi kwenkinga “yokusebenzisa noma ukulahlekelwa yizo”. ukuthi ama-ICBM asekelwe phansi akhona ngokwemvelo enkingeni.
I-United States kufanele iphishekele zonke izindlela zokusebenzisana ukuze ihambisane nesibopho sayo sokuxoxisana ngokuchithwa kwezikhali zenuzi. Ngaso leso sikhathi, noma ngabe izingxoxo zinjani, ukuqedwa kwama-ICBM kahulumeni wase-US kungaba intuthuko yengqondo ephusile kanye nesinyathelo sokusuka eweni elizocekela phansi konke esikwaziyo nesikuthandayo.
“Angifuni ukwamukela umbono ongaqondile wokuthi izizwe ngezizwe kumelwe zingene esihogweni sokubhujiswa okushisayo,” kusho uMartin Luther King Jr. njengoba amukela uMklomelo Wokuthula KaNobel ngo-1964. Cishe eminyakeni engu-60 kamuva, i-United States kumele isuse ama-ICBM ayo ukuze ihlehlise lokho kugoba okuya phansi.
