Njengoba ukuvota okusha kukhombisile kuleli sonto ukuthi ukwesaba kwabantu baseMelika ngempi yenuzi kukhule kancane selokhu iRussia yahlasela i-Ukraine ngoFebhuwari, abakhankasi abamelene ne-nuclear ngoLwesihlanu bacele abenzi bezomthetho ukuthi bathathe izinyathelo zokunciphisa lokho kwesaba futhi baqinisekise ukuthi i-US yenza konke okusemandleni ukuze ukunciphisa ukungezwani namanye amandla enuzi.

Amaqembu aphikisana nempi ahlanganisa i-Peace Action kanye ne-RootsAction imigqa yepikithi ehleliwe emahhovisi asenenja kanye nabameleli base-US emadolobheni angaphezu kuka-40 ezifundazweni ezingu-20, becela abenzi bomthetho ukuthi baphoqe ukuthi kuqedwe ukudubula e-Ukraine, ukuvuselelwa kwezivumelwano zokulwa ne-nuclear i-US iphumile eminyakeni yamuva, kanye nezinye izenzo zomthetho zokuvimbela izikhali zenuzi. inhlekelele.

"Noma ngubani onakayo kufanele akhathazeke ngezingozi ezikhulayo zempi yenuzi, kodwa esikudinga ngempela ukuthatha isinyathelo," kusho uNorman Solomon, umsunguli we-RootsAction, etshela. Amaphupho ajwayelekile. “Olayini bokhetho emahhovisi amaningi kakhongolose ezweni lonke baveza ukuthi bayanda abavoti abacikwa uvalo lwezikhulu ezikhethiwe, ezinqabile ukuvuma ubukhulu bezingozi ezinkulu ezikhona manje zempi yenuzi, ingasaphathwa eyokukhuluma isenzo sokunciphisa lezo zingozi.”

Ukuvota kwakamuva kakhulu ikhishwe yiReuters/Ipsos ngoMsombuluko ikhombise ukuthi ama-58% abantu baseMelika besaba ukuthi i-US ibheke empini yenuzi.

Izinga lokwesaba mayelana nengxabano yenuzi liphansi kunalokho elaliyikho ngoFebhuwari nangoMashi 2022, ngemva nje kokuba uMongameli waseRussia uVladimir Putin ehlasele i-Ukraine. Kodwa ochwepheshe bathi ngoLwesihlanu ukuvota kukhombisa ukwesaba okuqhubekayo ngezikhali zenuzi obekuyinto eyivelakancane e-United States.

“Izinga lokukhathazeka yinto engingakaze ngiyibone selokhu kwaba nenkinga yemicibisholo yaseCuba,” uPeter Kuznick, uprofesa womlando kanye nomqondisi weNuclear Studies Institute e-American University, utshele The Hill. “Futhi lokho kwaba okwesikhashana. Sekuphele izinyanga kuqhubeka lokhu.”

UChris Jackson, iphini likamongameli omkhulu we-Ipsos, utshele The Hill ukuthi “akazange akhumbule noma nini kule minyaka engu-20 edlule lapho sibone khona lolu hlobo lokukhathazeka mayelana nokwenzeka kwe-apocalypse yenuzi.”

UPutin wasabisa ngokusetshenziswa kwezikhali zenuzi ngenyanga edlule, ethi i-US yabeka "isibonelo" sokuzisebenzisa lapho iwisa amabhomu amabili e-athomu eJapane ngo-1945 futhi wengeza ngokuthi uzosebenzisa "zonke izindlela ezitholakalayo" ukuvikela iRussia.

I-New York Times kubika kuleli sonto ukuthi “izikhulu eziphezulu zaseMelika zithi azibuboni ubufakazi bokuthi uMnu. kaMnu. Putin esebenzisa izikhali zenuzi ezinobuhlakani.”

Abakhankasi emigqeni yokukhetha ethi "Defuse Nuclear War" ngoLwesihlanu kubizwa amalungu eCongress ukuze ehlise lokho kukhathazeka ngokuthi:

• Ukwamukela inqubomgomo "yokungasebenzisi kuqala" mayelana nezikhali zenuzi, ukukhawulela lapho umongameli wase-United States engase acabangele isiteleka senuzi futhi abonise ukuthi izikhali ngezokuvimbela kunokuba ukulwa kwezimpi;
• Iphusha i-US ukuthi iphinde ingene ku-Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty, eyahoxa kuso ngo-2002, kanye ne-Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, eyasishiya ngo-2019;
• Ukudlulisa i-HR 1185, ebiza umongameli "ukuba amukele izinhloso nezinhlinzeko zeSivumelwano Sokuvinjelwa Kwezikhali Zenuzi futhi enze ukuchithwa kwezikhali zenuzi kube umgogodla wenqubomgomo yezokuphepha kazwelonke yase-US;"
• Ukuqondisa kabusha ukusetshenziswa kwezempi, okwenza ingxenye yesabelomali sokuzikhethela sezwe, ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi abantu baseMelika “banokunakekelwa okwanele kwezempilo, imfundo, izindlu, nezinye izidingo eziyisisekelo” nokuthi i-US ithatha izinyathelo ezifinyelela kude zesimo sezulu; futhi
• Ukusunduza abaphathi be-Biden ukuthi basuse izikhali zenuzi "kusexwayiso se-hair-trigger," okuvumela ukwethulwa kwazo ngokushesha futhi "kwandise ithuba lokwethulwa ngokuphendula i-alamu engamanga," ngokuvumelana ne Thuthukisa abahleli beMpi Yenuzi.

"Siyagula ngamalungu eCongress enza njengezibukeli esikhundleni sokuthatha izinyathelo uhulumeni wase-US angazithatha ukunciphisa ubungozi bangempela bokuqothulwa komhlaba," kusho uSolomon. Amaphupho ajwayelekile. "Impendulo engenangqondo evela kumalungu eCongress ayibekezeleleki - futhi sekuyisikhathi sokubeka izinyawo zabo esidlangalaleni."

Amandla aphethwe uMongameli Joe Biden, uPutin, kanye nabaholi beminye imibuso eyisikhombisa yenuzi emhlabeni “awamukeleki,” wabhala Kevin Martin, umongameli we-Peace Action, kukholamu ngoLwesine.

“Kodwa-ke,” wengeza, “inkinga ekhona njengamanje iza nethuba lokuphinde sizibandakanye ezindabeni zokuncishiswa kwezikhali zenuzi emazingeni aphansi ukuze kuboniswe uhulumeni wethu ukuthi udinga ukuthatha izinyathelo ezinqala ngokunciphisa, hhayi ukubhebhetheka, usongo lwenuzi.”

Ngaphezu kwamakhethini angoLwesihlanu, abakhankasi bakhona ukuhlela Usuku Lokusebenza ngeSonto, lapho abalandeli bebambe imibhikisho, benikeza amapheshana, futhi bekhombisa ngokugqamile amabhanela abiza ukwehla kosongo lwenuzi.
