Kungani Kubhikishelwa

Amasosha Asemoyeni kanye nosonkontileka abangaba ngu-150 bezikhali ababambe iqhaza ku-AFA Air & Space Conference and Technology Expo, esiyibiza ngokuthi “i-Arms Bazaar,” babambe iqhaza elibalulekile ekufudumeni kwe-US. Laba sonkontileka bezikhali, abafana no-Lockheed Martin, iGeneral Dynamics, iNorthrop Grumman kanye noRaytheon benza inzuzo ngempi futhi bayabulala ngempela! Kodwa akugcini lapho. I-Air Force kanye nabathengisi bezikhali abaningi bazibophezele ekuphakameni kwe-nuclear / kwezempi yase-US kanye nokulwa nokulawula isikhala.
I-US iyaqhubeka nokuba amandla amakhulu ezempi emhlabeni futhi, kanye neRussia, umdayisi wezikhali ohamba phambili. I-US ihlinzeka kakhulu nge-NATO kanye nabalingani baseMpumalanga Ephakathi njengeTurkey, Israel, neSaudi Arabia. I-Russia ihlinzeka nge-Iran, ingxenye enkulu yaseNingizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia, eNyakatho Afrika nezinye izizwe. Ukwethula ukuthengiswa kwezikhali kwase-US naseRussia, I-Business Insider ithathe izinombolo e-Stockholm International Peace Research Institute ka-2012-2013 ukubona ukuthi izimbangi ezimbili zazihlinzeka bani ngezikhali. I-US yasebenzelana nezizwe ezingama-59 iRussia engazithengisi noma ingazithumeli izikhali, kanti iRussia yasebenzelana namazwe ayi-15 kuphela angazitholi izikhali zase-US. Amazwe ayishumi nanhlanu athole izikhali kokubili e-US nase-Russia, okuhlanganisa i-Brazil, i-India, i-Afghanistan, ne-Iraq. Izwe elathola inani eliphakeme kakhulu lamadola ezikhali zase-US kwakuyi-United Arab Emirates, enezikhali ezingaphezu kwezigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-3.7 zamaRandi ezatholwa ngaleso sikhathi. IRussia yabhekana nenani elikhulu kakhulu lezikhali eNdiya, yathumela imali engaphezu kwezigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-13.6 zamaRandi. Sekukonke, i-US ithumele izikhali ezingaphezu kwezigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-26.9 zamarandi emazweni angaphandle, kanti iRussia yathumela izikhali ezingaphezu kwezigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-29.7 zamarandi emhlabeni jikelele.

Ukuthengiswa kwezikhali kwe-US kubhebhethekisa izimpi eMpumalanga Ephakathi. Ukulwa impi e-Yemen, iSaudi Arabia isebenzisa izindiza zempi ze-F-15 ezithengwe kuyo Boeing. Abashayeli bezindiza abavela e-United Arab Emirates bayandiza Lockheed MartinI-F-16 izoqhumisa kokubili i-Yemen ne-Syria. Maduze, i-Emirates kulindeleke ukuthi iqedele isivumelwano ne-General Atomics ngoxhaxha lwe-Predator drones ukugijima umsebenzi wobunhloli endaweni yangakubo. (Bheka “Ukuthengiswa Kwezikhali Zase-US Kufuthela Izimpi Zamazwe Ase-Arab ngo-Mark Mazzetti no-Helene Cooper, New York Times, Ephreli 18, 2015). UMengameli uBarack Obama uthembise ukwenyusa ukuthunyelwa kwezikhali kweMelika kwa-Israel, Saudi Arabia nakwamanye amazwe aseMpumalanga Ephakathi akhathazekile ngesivumelwano senuzi ne-Iran. (Bona okuthi “Post Iran Deal, A Push to Boost Support for Israel” ka-Walter Pincus, Washington Post, Aug. 25, 2015).
Kusukela ngoSepthemba 14-16, i-AFA izosingatha izinkundla ezingaphezu kuka-45 ezizokhuluma ngokuthi i-US ingakucwengisa kanjani ukufudumala kwayo futhi ihlale inamandla ezempi avelele emhlabeni nasemkhathini. UNobhala Wezokuvikela (Impi) u-Ashton Carter uphakathi kwezikhulumi ezifakiwe. Phakathi nezinsuku ezintathu, kuba namadili amabili amakhulu. NgoSepthemba 14, njengoba i-AFA izoba nedili lika-$310 ngepuleti ngalinye lokuhlonipha izisebenzi zasemoyeni ezivelele, umlindelo ongenalo udlame uzobanjelwa ngaphandle kwaseGaylord National Resort ukugxeka le Arms Bazaar enehlazo.
Ubani ozonikeza izwi kuzisulu eziye zahlupheka futhi zashona e-Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan nakwezinye izindawo njengomphumela oqondile wokufudumala kwe-US, nezikhali, njengezindiza zempi ze-Drone "Predator" kanye ne "Reaper", ezikhiqizwe osonkontileka bezikhali ababambe iqhaza. e-Arms Bazaar? Egameni likaNkulunkulu osibizayo ukuba sithande futhi singabulali, sekuyisikhathi sokuqeda le-Arms Bazaar! Sekuyisikhathi sokuphenduka ezenzweni zobugebengu bezempi zase-US futhi wenze izinxephezelo kuzo zonke izisulu zokufudumala kwe-US. Sekuyisikhathi sokuletha yonke imali yempi ekhaya, sinciphise ubumpofu, sihlangabezane nezidingo eziphuthumayo zabantu, futhi sisindise indawo yethu. Sekuyisikhathi sokuqeda ukwakhiwa kwesizinda sezempi esisha esisekelwa yi-US e-Jeju Island e-S. Korea esizosebenza njengebutho lezempi lase-US ukuze lisabise futhi liqukathe i-China. Sekuyisikhathi sokuqeda izikhali futhi kuqedwe zonke izikhali-kusuka ezikhalini zamakhemikhali nezenuzi kuye kuma-drones abulalayo, kuqedwe konke ukungenelela kwamasosha ase-US futhi kuqedwe impi. Sekuyisikhathi sokuqeda udlame lokucwasa ngokwebala kanye nokulwa kwamaphoyisa ekhaya. Isikhathi sokuzijwayeza ukungabi nabudlova. Sicela ujoyine lo mlindelo obalulekile, bese uthi Yebo Ekuphileni kanye no-Cha ozwakalayo kwabahlomula ngempi.
