Phakathi namashumi ayisikhombisa eminyaka ngemva kwempi yezwe yesibili, amazwe aphambili omhlaba eqhulwini lokusangana akhetha ukungafinyeleli ubulungisa kwezenhlalo, ubuzalwane, nodadewabo bonke abantu, kodwa ukutshala imali eyengeziwe emishinini yempi yezwe yokubulala ngesihluku, ukucekela phansi, kanye nokungcoliswa kwemvelo.
Ngokwe-SIPRI Military Expenditure Database, ngo-1949 isabelomali sempi yase-United States sasingu-$14 billion. Ngo-2020, i-United States yachitha ama-dollar ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-722 kwezempi. Ubuwula nokuziphatha okubi kwezindleko ezinkulu kangaka zezempi, isabelomali sempi esikhulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni, kusobala nakakhulu uma kucatshangelwa ukuthi i-United States isebenzisa kuphela ama-dollar ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-60 ezindabeni zamazwe ngamazwe.
Awukwazi ukwenza sengathi ibutho lakho elokuvikela, hhayi ubudlova, uma utshala imali engaka empini futhi kancane ngokuthula. Uma uchitha isikhathi sakho esiningi ungenzi abangani kodwa uzilolongela ukudubula, uzothola ukuthi abantu abaseduze babukeka njengabantu abaningi okuhlosiwe. Ulaka lungase lufihlwe isikhashana, kodwa luzodalulwa nakanjani.
Ezama ukuchaza ukuthi kungani ibutho lezempi lithola imali ephindwe ka-12 kune-diplomacy, inxusa laseMelika kanye nesikhulu esihlotshisiwe uCharles Ray wabhala ukuthi "ukusebenza kwezempi kuzohlala kubiza kakhulu kunemisebenzi yezobuzwe - lokho kumane nje kuwuhlobo lwesilo." Akazange acabange ngisho nokucabanga ukuthi kungenzeka yini esikhundleni sokusebenza kwezempi ngemizamo yokwakha ukuthula, ngamanye amazwi, ukuze aziphathe njengomuntu olungile kunesilo.
Futhi lokhu kuziphatha akusona isono esikhethekile sase-United States; ungayibona emazweni aseYurophu, e-Afrika, e-Asia naseLatin America, eMpumalanga kanjalo naseNtshonalanga, eNingizimu kanye naseNyakatho, emazweni anamasiko namasiko enkolo ehlukene. Kuyiphutha elivamile ekusetshenzisweni kwemali komphakathi kangangokuthi akekho ngisho nokukulinganisa noma akufake ezinhlokweni zokuthula zamazwe ngamazwe.
Kusukela ekupheleni kwempi ebandayo kuze kube namuhla ingqikithi yezindleko zempi yomhlaba icishe yaphindeka kabili, isuka kuthriliyoni eyodwa yaya kumadola ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezimbili; akumangalisi ukuthi abantu abaningi bachaza isimo samanje sezindaba zamazwe ngamazwe njengempi entsha yamakhaza.
Ukwenyuka kwezindleko kwezempi kuveza abaholi bezombangazwe emhlabeni wonke njengabaqambimanga abanganamanga; laba abaqamba amanga ababona omashiqela oyedwa noma ababili, kodwa izigaba zezombusazwe ezimele ngokusemthethweni izifundazwe zabo.
Izizwe eziyisishiyagalolunye ezinezikhali zenuzi (iRussia, i-USA, iChina, iFrance, i-UK, iPakistan, i-India, i-Israel, neNyakatho Korea) zisho amazwi amaningi ezingqungqutheleni zamazwe ngamazwe mayelana nokuthula, intando yeningi kanye nokubusa komthetho; abahlanu kubo bangamalungu ngokugcwele oMkhandlu Wezokuphepha we-UN. Kodwa-ke, izakhamuzi zabo kanye nomhlaba wonke awukwazi ukuzizwa uvikelekile ngenxa yokuthi bakhipha abakhokhi bentela ukuze baqhubekisele phambili umshini wosuku lwembubhiso beshaya indiva isivumelwano sokuvinjelwa kwezikhali zenuzi esivunywe ku-UN General Assembly yizizwe eziningi.
Ezinye izilwane ezivela ephaketheni lase-US zilambile kakhulu kunePentagon. Isibonelo, e-Ukraine 2021 isabelo sesabelomali soMnyango Wezokuvikela sidlula izikhathi ezingama-24 isabelomali soMnyango Wezangaphandle.
E-Ukraine, uMongameli uVolodymyr Zelensky, oqokwe ngemuva kokuthembisa ukuthula, wathi ukuthula kufanele kube “ngokwemibandela yethu” futhi wavala abezindaba baseRussia e-Ukraine, njengoba owamanduleli wakhe uPoroshenko evimbe izinkundla zokuxhumana zaseRussia futhi wacindezela umthetho wolimi olusemthethweni ngaphandle kweRussia ngaphandle kwemvume. indawo yomphakathi. Iqembu likaZelensky elithi Servant of the People lizibophezele ekukhuphuleni ukusetshenziswa kwemali kwezempi kuya ku-5% we-GDP; bekuyi-1.5% ngo-2013; manje isingaphezu kuka-3%.
Uhulumeni wase-Ukraine wenza inkontileka e-United States izikebhe ezingu-16 zika-Mark VI zokugada ngezigidi ezingu-600 zamaRandi, okuqhathaniswa nakho konke ukusetshenziswa kwemali yomphakathi yase-Ukraine ngesiko, noma isabelomali sedolobha lase-Odessa esiphindwe kanye nesigamu.
Ngeningi ephalamende lase-Ukraine, umshini wezombangazwe kamongameli ugxilisa amandla ezombusazwe ezandleni zethimba leZelensky futhi wandise imithetho yezempi, njengezijeziso ezinzima zabagwema ukubuthwa kanye nokudala amabutho amasha "okumelana kazwelonke", ukwandisa izisebenzi ezisebenzayo zamabutho ahlomile. nge-11,000 (esevele ikhule isuka ku-129,950 ngo-2013 yaya ku-209,000 ngo-2020), idala amayunithi ezempi kohulumeni basekhaya ukuze aqeqeshelwe impi eyisibopho yezigidi zabantu okuhloswe ngayo ukuhlanganisa wonke umphakathi uma kwenzeka impi neRussia.
Kubonakala sengathi oklebe base-Atlanticist bamagange ukudonsela i-United States empini. UNobhala Wezokuvikela waseMelika u-Lloyd Austin uvakashele e-Kyiv ethembisa ukuhlinzeka ngosizo lwezempi ekulweni nodlame lwaseRussia. I-NATO isekela izinhlelo zokwakha izizinda ezimbili zamasosha asolwandle esifundeni soLwandle Olumnyama, okwandisa ukungezwani neRussia. Kusukela ngo-2014, i-United States ichithe izigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezimbili ngosizo lwezempi lwase-Ukraine. URaytheon no-Lockheed Martin bathole inzuzo eningi ngokuthengisa imicibisholo yabo ye-Javelin elwa nethangi, futhi abathengisi bokufa baseTurkey nabo benza ingcebo ngempi yase-Ukraine behweba ngezindiza zabo ze-Bayraktar.
Amashumi ezinkulungwane zabantu asebebulewe futhi akhubazekile empini yeminyaka eyisikhombisa yaseRussia-Ukraine, abangaphezu kwezigidi ezimbili baxoshwa emakhaya abo. Kunamathuna amaningi nhlangothi zombili zomugqa ongaphambili agcwele izisulu zempi ezingaziwa. Izitha eMpumalanga ye-Ukraine ziya ngokushuba; ngo-Okthoba 2021 izinga lansuku zonke lokwephulwa komthetho wokumiswa kwezikhali liphindwe kabili uma liqhathaniswa nonyaka odlule. I-Ukraine ne-Russia esekelwa yi-US nabahlukanisi abasekela iRussia bashintshana ngezinsolo zobudlova nokungaxoxiswana. Kubukeka sengathi izinhlangothi ezingqubuzanayo azizimisele ngokufuna ukubuyisana, kanti le mpi entsha yamakhaza ibhebhethekisa ingxabano embi e-Europe ngenkathi i-USA neRussia besaqhubeka nokusongelana, ukuthukana nokuhlukumezana osomaqhinga.
"Ingabe amasosha angaletha ukuthula lapho idiplomacy iphelelwa amandla?" ngumbuzo ongaphenduleki nje. Wonke umlando uthi angeke. Uma bethi kungenzeka, ungathola iqiniso elincane kulawa ma-pop empi ye-propaganda kune-powder kunhlamvu ye-dummy esetshenzisiwe.
Amasosha ahlala ethembisa ukuthi ayakulwela, futhi ahlala ephula izithembiso. Balwela inzuzo namandla okuwasebenzisa kabi ukuze bathole inzuzo eyengeziwe. Bagebenga abakhokhi bentela futhi basiphuce amathemba ethu nelungelo lethu elingcwele lekusasa elinokuthula nelijabulisayo.
Yingakho kungafanele ukholelwe izithembiso zokuthula ezivela kosopolitiki, ngaphandle uma belandela isibonelo esihle kakhulu saseCosta Rica eyaqeda amabutho ahlomile futhi yavimbela ukusungulwa kwebutho elimile ngokoMthethosisekelo, futhi – lena ingxenye engcono kakhulu! - ICosta Rica yabela kabusha zonke izindleko zezempi ukuze kuxhaswe imfundo engcono nokunakekelwa kwezokwelapha.
Kufanele sisifunde leso sifundo. Abakhokhi bentela abanakulindela ukuthula lapho beqhubeka nokukhokha izikweletu ezithunyelwe abathengisi bokufa. Ngalo lonke ukhetho kanye nenqubo yesabelomali, osopolitiki nabanye abathatha izinqumo kufanele bezwe izimfuno zabantu eziphezulu: yekani ukufunza isilo!
