World Beyond War kanye nabalingani bayo bahlela umbhikisho ngoLwesithathu, Juni 1 ukuze baphikisane nombukiso wezohwebo we-CANSEC oza e-Ottawa ngoJuni 1-2. Umbukiso omkhulu wemboni yezikhali eCanada, i-CANSEC ihlelwe yi-Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries (CADSI).
“Abethuli kanye nababukisi baphinde bakleliswe kabili njenge-Rolodex yezigebengu ezimbi kakhulu emhlabeni. Zonke izinkampani nabantu abahlomula kakhulu ngezimpi nokuchitheka kwegazi bazobe bekhona,” sifundeka isitatimende World Beyond War.
Umbhikisho uzoba se-EY Center e-Ottawa kusukela ngo-7 ekuseni ngoJuni 1.
I-CADSI imele izinkampani zezokuvikela nezokuphepha zaseCanada ezikhiqiza ndawonye I-10 billion yemali engenayo yonyaka, ngesilinganiso Amaphesenti we-60 okuvela kuzo ezithunyelwa ngaphandle.
Ingabe lezi zinkampani ziyazuza ngempi?
Singaqala ukuphendula lokho ngokubheka u-Lockheed Martin, usonkontileka omkhulu wezokuvikela emhlabeni futhi ongomunye wabaxhasi bombukiso wezikhali we-CANSEC walo nyaka.
Ngaphambi nje kokuhlasela kweRussia e-Ukraine, isikhulu esiphezulu se-Lockheed Martin uJames Taiclet wathi ocingweni lwezinzuzo oluthi "umncintiswano wamandla amakhulu ovuselelwe" uzoholela kuzabelomali zokuvikela ezikhuphukile kanye nokuthengiswa okwengeziwe.
Abatshalizimali babonakala bevumelana naye.
Njengamanje, isabelo ku-Lockheed Martin silingana USD $ 435.17. Ngosuku olwandulela ukuhlasela kweRussia kwaba USD $ 389.17.
Umbono futhi obonakala wabelwe uRaytheon, omunye umxhasi we-CANSEC.
Umphathi wabo uGreg Hayes utshele abatshalizimali ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka ukuthi inkampani ilindele ukubona "amathuba okuthengiswa kwamanye amazwe" phakathi nosongo lwaseRussia. Yena ungeze: “Ngilindele ngokugcwele ukuthi sizobona inzuzo ethile kuyo.”
Uma benza inzuzo ngempi, yimalini?
Impendulo emfushane miningi.
UWilliam Hartung, umcwaningi ophezulu e-Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft ezinze eNew York City, Ubeke amazwana: “Maningi amathuba ezindlela osonkontileka abazozuza ngazo [empini yase-Ukraine], futhi esikhathini esifushane singase sikhulume ngamashumi ezinkulungwane zezigidi zamaRandi, okuyinto engencane, ngisho nakulezi zinkampani ezinkulu. ”
Izinkampani azizuzi nje kuphela ngempi, kodwa “nokuthula” okuhlomile okuyingozi okwandulela impi. Benza imali ngesimo esikhona manje esithembele ekukhuleni kwezikhali njalo, esikhundleni sokuxoxisana nokwakha ukuthula kwangempela.
Ngo-2021, u-Lockheed Martin waqopha imali engenayo (inzuzo) ye U-$6.32 wezigidigidi kusukela U-$67.04 wezigidigidi emalini engenayo ngalowo nyaka.
Lokho kunikeze u-Lockheed Martin inzuzo cishe engamaphesenti angu-9 emalini yakhe engenayo.
Uma leyo nzuzo engamaphesenti angu-9 esilinganisweni semali engenayo yonyaka ibizosetshenziswa ezinkampanini ezimele i-CADSI, leso sibalo singaphakamisa ukuthi zenze cishe izigidi ezingu-900 zamaRandi enzuzweni yonyaka, okuthi cishe amaRandi ayizigidi ezingama-540 avele ekuthengisweni kwamanye amazwe.
Uma izintengo zamasheya kanye nokuthengiswa kwamanye amazwe kukhuphuka ngesikhathi sokushuba nokungqubuzana, ingabe lokho kuphakamisa ukuthi impi ilungele ibhizinisi?
Noma ngokuphambene, lokho kuthula kubi embonini yezikhali?
Ngokudabukisayo, umsunguli ohlangene we-CODEPINK u-Medea Benjamin unawo waphikisana: “Izinkampani zezikhali [zi]khathazekile ngokuncipha kwezimpi zase-US e-Afghanistan nase-Iraq. [Umbuso] ubona lokhu njengethuba lokuthena amandla iRussia ngempela.… Amandla okukhipha igazi emnothweni waseRussia kanye nokunqanda ukufinyelela kwawo kusho nokuthi i-US iqinisa isikhundla sayo emhlabeni jikelele.”
Ngethemba ukuthi mhlawumbe, u-Arundhati Roy useke wakwenza ngaphambili Ubeke amazwana ukuthi amandla enkampani enza izinto zibe ngcono futhi anciphise izimpilo zethu azowa uma singathengi lokho ezikuthengisayo, okuhlanganisa “izimpi zabo, izikhali zabo”.
Sekuphele amasonto amaningi izishoshovu zihlela umbhikisho ophikisana ne-CANSEC.
Mhlawumbe ngokugqugquzelwa nguRoy, abahleli bayayilahla impi kanye nezikhali zezinkampani ezizoba se-Ottawa ngoJuni 1-2.
Kwenzekani lapho le mihlaba emibili - labo abafuna inzuzo nalabo abafuna ukuthula kwangempela - behlangana e-EY Center kusazobonakala.
Ukuze uthole okwengeziwe mayelana nombhikisho ophikisana nombukiso wezikhali we-CANSEC ngoLwesithathu ngoJuni 1 oqala ngo-7 ekuseni, sicela ubone lokhu World Beyond War Iwebhusayithi.
