Izinganekwane, Ukuthula, kanye nePropaganda Egcina Izikhali Zenuzi Zikhona Zikhona

Izikhumbuzo ezisePoulsbo, eWashington, Agasti 4, 2019

Kuleli sonto, eminyakeni engu-74 eyedlule, amadolobha aseHiroshima naseNagasaki ngalinye lahlaselwa ngebhomu elilodwa lenuzi elinamandla engxenye yesithathu kuya kwengxenye yalokho i-NPR ekubiza njengokuthi isivuno esiphansi noma isikhali esisebenzayo. Nge-NPR ngiqonde ukuthi i-Nuclear Posture Review kanye ne-National Public Radio, bobabili uhulumeni wase-US nokuthi yini abantu abaningi abacabanga ngayo njengendawo yokushicilela yamahhala. Lezi zibizwa ezinamandla okusebenziseka zizoba ngokudubula kuzitamu ezingaphansi komhlaba eziseduzane lapha. Zingamaphesenti amabili kuya kwamathathu ubukhulu balokho okubhubhise iHiroshima neNagasaki, kanti nezinhlelo zamasosha aseMelika zibandakanya ukusebenzisa izindela eziningi ngasikhathi sinye. Kepha mncane impela ngokuqhathaniswa nezinye izikhali zenuzi ukuthi i-United States kanye nezinye izizwe sezilungisile uma kwenzeka isimo esithile esingesihle senza ukuqothuka kwethu kanye nezinye izinhlobo ngenkambo ehlakaniphile yokwenza. Ezinye izindela zase-US ziyi-1,000 izikhathi ezazisetshenziselwa ukufudumeza inani labantu baseJapan. Umuntu ngamunye ongaphansi komhlaba angaqala izikhathi ze-5,000 lokho okwehliswe kuHiroshima.

Kepha isimangalo sikhona ukuthi le ndlela engaphansi komhlaba yenzelwe lokho okubizwa ngokuthi yi-deterence. Ukubeka izinyoni ezincanyana kubo futhi zibize lezo “ezisebenzisekayo,” kwehlisa ukuzikhohlisa ngenhloso yokwamukela obala ubuhlanya bokuqala ukushintshana kwezitabane okungenzeka ukuthi kusibulale sonke ngokuqondile noma ngokwakha ubusika benuzi.

Kungase kuzwakale sengathi ngiyahlekisa noma ngiyahlekisa lapho ngithi uhulumeni wase-US anganquma ukuthi i-apocalypse iyinkambo enobuhlakani kunayo yonke, kodwa engxenyeni yeUnited States engihlala kuyo kunezindawo ezinkulu ezikhululekile, eziklanywe ngabakwaNazi bangaphambili , ngaphansi kwamagquma ukuze izinhlaka ezahlukahlukene zikahulumeni zifihle ngaphakathi ukuze ziphile isikhathi eside ngokwezimali kunathi sonke, futhi laba abasebenza ngezindlu eziphansi babethatha amahora amaningi ukufika ngisho nokugwema ukushesha kwethrafikhi. Isinqumo sokusibulala sonke bekufanele ngabe senziwe futhi sahlelelwa kodwa sangabe sisasithatha isinyathelo ngaphambi kohambo olude oluya kwabangaphansi. Konke lokhu kuyingxenye yenqubomgomo yeziteleka zokuqala.

Futhi-ke, uMongameli wase-United States uthumele izinsongo zenyukliya nakwamanye amazwe, into engaphambilini eyenziwe ngabongameli base-US abangakaze bayenze. Bonke benze izinsongo zabo zenuzi ngaphandle kokusebenzisa i-Twitter.

Lapho i-United States ilahla lawo mabhomu enuzi eJapan, izixuku zabantu empeleni zazikhuphukile njengamanzi epanini lokuthosa elishisayo. Bashiye okuthiwa yimithunzi phansi ukuthi kwezinye izimo isekhona nanamuhla. Kepha abanye abafanga kanye. Abanye babehamba noma bekhasa. Abanye bakwenza ezibhedlela lapho abanye bezwa khona amathambo abo evevezela eshayeka phansi njengezithende eziphakeme. Ezibhedlela, izimpethu zazikhwela zingena emanxebeni nasemakhaleni nasezindlebeni zazo. Izimpethu zidle iziguli ziphila kusuka ngaphakathi ngaphandle. Abafileyo babezwakala bethi bensimbi lapho bephonswa emigqonyeni namaloli, kwesinye isikhathi nezingane zabo ezincane bezikhala futhi zibakhonkotha eduze kwabo. Imvula emnyama yana izinsuku, kwana imvula nokufa kanye novalo. Labo abaphuza amanzi bafa khona manjalo. Labo ababomile babenesibindi sokuphuza. Labo abangagulanga ukugula kwesinye isikhathi baba nezindawo ezibomvu futhi bafe ngokushesha kangangokuba ubabheke ukushona phezu kwabo. Abaphilayo babehlala ngokwesaba. Abafileyo bangezwe ezintabeni zamathambo manje ezibukwa njengezintaba ezinhle zotshani lapho iphunga selisukile khona.

Abanye balabo abakwazile ukuhamba bahluleka ukuyeka ukukhala futhi babamba izingalo zabo phambi kwabo isikhumba nenyama zilenga. Emphakathini wethu obumatasa kakhulu futhi ofundile kakhulu lesi sithombe esivela kuma-Zombies. Kepha iqiniso lingaba nje ngenye indlela. Abanye abagxeki bemidiya bakholelwa ukuthi ama-movie aphathelene nama-Zombies nabanye abantu abangewona owabantu njengendlela yokugwema umuzwa wecala noma nolwazi lokubulawa kwabantu abaningi ngokoqobo.

Uma kukhulunywa ngokubulawa kwabantu abaningi okwenziwe ngempi, ukusetshenziswa kwezikhali zenuzi yikhona okuncane kunakho konke, futhi kungenzeka ukuthi kuthathe isikhathi eside ngokufa okubangelwa ukukhiqizwa kwezikhali zenuzi nokuhlola kanye nokungcola kanye nokusebenzisa izikhali ze-uranium eseziphelile. IHiroshima neNagasaki bakhethwa njengezindawo zokukhombisa amandla enziwe ngamabhomu enuzi ngoba asikho isikhulu esiphakeme eWashington esasikhona futhi sathola indawo iyathandeka, okuyiyo eyasindisa uKyoto, futhi ngoba lamadolobha amabili ayengakashiswa umlilo njengoba kwenzeka iTokyo ne ezinye izindawo eziningi. Ukuvutha kweTokyo akuyona into eyethusayo njengokucwaswa kweHiroshima neNagasaki. Ukuqhuma kwamabhomu kwakamuva kweKorea neVietnam ne-Iraq, phakathi kwezinye izindawo, kwakukubi kakhulu.

Kepha uma kukhulunywa ngokubulawa kwabantu abaningi esikhathini esizayo bezibeka engcupheni ngezenzo zamanje, izikhali zenuzi zihlanganiswa kuphela isimo sezulu kanye nokuwa kwezemvelo lapho impi iba nomthelela omkhulu khona. Uma abantu base-United States sebeqala ukubhekana nokuqothulwa kwezizwe zabomdabu kanye nokwesabeka kobugqila, singalindela ukubhekwa ngokweqiniso ngokubhujiswa kweHiroshima neNagasaki cishe unyaka we-2090. Ngokucabanga ngokweqiniso, angiqondile ukungaxolisi kuMongameli u-Obama. Ngiqonde ukugxila ezikoleni zethu kanye nempilo yethu yomphakathi ekwamukeleni umthwalo wemfanelo wokwenza izinkinobho ze-apocalypse kanye nokuthatha izinyathelo ezifanele zokulungisa. Kepha i-2090 izoba sekwephuze kakhulu.

Abantu akubonakali sengathi bawa ngokuwa kwesimo sezulu ngokwanele ukuba baqale ukuhambisa ohulumeni babo abonakele kukho kuze kube yilapho kubathinta kakhulu okwamanje, okungenzeka sekwephuze kakhulu. Uma abantu bengazisebenzisi izikhali zenuzi kuze kube yilapho bebona ukusetshenziswa kwazo, sekwephuze kakhulu. Isikhali senuzi asifani nezobuciko noma ezocansi lapho ungazi khona kuphela lapho usibona. Futhi ngesikhathi oyibona ngaso ungahle uyeke ukwazi lutho. Kepha ngisho ukukubona kungahle kunganele ebantwini abathile. ISweden isanda kwenqaba ukuvimbela izikhali zenuzi ngesizathu sokuthi isivumelwano asizichazi ukuthi ziyini. Ngokubabazekayo, eSweden, ucabanga ukuthi uma kusetshenziswe isikhali senuzi eStockholm kuzoba nempikiswano yokuthi ngabe kwakuyisikhali senuzi noma cha?

Iziqapheli ezi-Smart - mhlawumbe zingumthunzi ohlakaniphe kakhulu ngokwenzelwe zona - ziyangabaza ubuqiniso bezaba zaseSweden. Ngokusho kwabo, iSweden ayinazo izikhali zenuzi uqobo ngakho-ke ibophekile ukwenza okufunwa yilabo abanayo - yize inqwaba yamanye amazwe yenqaba ukwenza lokho futhi basayina isivumelwano sokuvimbela izikhali zenuzi. Kepha lokhu ukubiza okunengqondo kubuhlanya. Futhi iphutha lidalulwa ngokuyeka ukuveza ukumelwa kohulumeni bethu. Ukube ubambe i-referendum yomphakathi eSweden ngikholwa ukuthi ukuvinjelwa kwezinduna bekuzothola esinye isizwe. Simelana nokuxhaswa okuthandwa yizikhali zenuzi, kuyiqiniso, futhi kunjalo nakwamanye amazwe kunakwamanye. Kepha okukhulu okukhulu emazweni enuzi kanye nawangezona ezenuzi, kubandakanya ne-United States, batshele abenzi bokuvota ukuthi bayasisekela isivumelwano okuxoxisanwe ngaso ukuze kususwe bonke abantukazana. Kodwa-ke, siphikisana nohulumeni okhohlakele. Futhi lezi zinkinga ezimbili zigcwele enkohlakalweni yezinhlelo zethu zokuxhumana.

Ngikholwa ukuthi sibhekene nezinganekwane okumele zidilizwe, ngokuthula okumele kuphulwe, kanye nenkulumo-ze okumele iphikiswe futhi ibekwe esikhundleni. Ake siqale ngezinganekwane.

IZINGA

Sitshelwa ukuthi impi ingemvelo, imjwayelekile, ngandlela thile ifa ngaphakathi kithi. Sitshelwa lokhu futhi siyakukholwa, noma sazi kahle kamhlophe ukuthi iningi lethu alinakwenza lutho ngokuqondile ngempi. Umbutho wamasosha aseMelika ulwela ukuthola amalungu futhi ukhathazekile ukuthi ngamaphesenti amancane kuphela wezingane anamalungu omndeni ake abezempi. Futhi uma uphakathi kwalelo phesenti elincane elaliye empini, ngokwezibalo usengozini enkulu yokuhlushwa yicala lokuziphatha noma ukucindezela kwangemva kokuhlukumezeka, ukuzibulala, noma ukudubula indawo yomphakathi. Into engavinjelwa iningi labantu, futhi iningi lalabo abangagwebi ukuhlushwa yizo, ifakwe ilebula yemvelo futhi engenakugwenywa? Yebo, ngokuziphindaphinda okungapheli - ngohulumeni, ngemidiya, nangokuzijabulisa. Wake wazama yini ukuhamba nge-Netflix uzama ukuthola i-movie ngaphandle kodlame? Kungenziwa, kepha uma umhlaba wangempela ufana nokuzijabulisa kwethu ngabe sonke sibulewe amahlandla ayinkulungwane.

Uma singatshelwa ukuthi impi ayinakugwenywa, sitshelwa ukuthi kuyadingeka, ukuthi iMelika idinga impi ngenxa yabanye abantu abasemuva kakhulu. UMongameli u-Obama uthe izinyoni ngeke ziqedwe empilweni yakhe, ngenxa yobubi babafokazi. Kepha akukho nhlangano esemhlabeni eyenza lukhulu ukugqugquzela impi kunohulumeni wase-US, ongase uqalise umjaho wezingalo uma ubufuna. Ukudala ubutha nokusongelwa ngezimpi ezinolaka ezingapheli nemisebenzi kungaveza isizathu sokwakha izikhali eziningi uma senza sengathi akwenzeki noma ngeke kumiswe. Uma uhulumeni wase-US ekhetha ukwenza kanjalo, angajoyina futhi asekele (futhi ayeke ukuphula futhi aqede) izivumelwano zamalungelo abantu kanye nezinkantolo zamazwe omhlaba, izivumelwano zokuvikela izikhali, nezinqubo zokuhlola. Inganikeza umhlaba ngokudla, umuthi, namandla ngengxenyana yalokho ekuchitha izenza izondwe. Impi ukukhetha.

UTad Daley ubhale wathi: “Yebo, ukuhlolwa kwamazwe omhlaba lapha kuzothuthukisa ubukhosi bethu. Kepha ukutholakala kwamabhomu e-athomu lapha kuzophinde kubuhlasele ubukhosi bethu. Umbuzo kuphela ukuthi, yibuphi kulezo zinqumo ezimbili esizithola singenankinga kangako. ”

Noma sitshelwa ukuthi impi iyadingeka, sitshelwa nokuthi iyasiza. Kepha kuze kube manje sesizobona impi yobuntu izuzisa ubuntu. Inganekwane yempi yesintu yesikhathi esizayo iboshwe phambi kwethu. Impi entsha ngayinye kuzoba eyokuqala ukudonsa inani elikhulu labantu ngendlela ezuzisayo abayithokozisayo nabayabonga ngayo. Njalo lapho yehluleka. Futhi njalo lapho sibona ukwehluleka, inqobo nje uma umongameli ngaleso sikhathi eyilungu leqembu lepolitiki esiliphikisayo.

Siphinde sitshelwe ukuthi impi iyakhazimula futhi iyancomeka, nokuthi lezo zimpi eziningi esifisa ukuthi zingakaze zethulwe ziyizinsizakalo ezinhle okufanele sibonge ngazo ababambiqhaza - noma ubugebengu obumayelekayo okufanele sibonge ababambe iqhaza.

Inganekwane enkulu kunazo zonke, nokho, inganekwane enhle futhi eqanjiwe ebizwa ngegama leMpi Yesibili Yomhlaba. Ngenxa yale nsumansumane, kufanele sikhuthazelele iminyaka eyi-75 yezimpi zobulelesi ezibucayi kepha siphonsa ama-dollar ayikhulu namakhulu amathathu ezigidi ngethemba lokuthi ngonyaka olandelayo kuzoba nokuza kwesibili kweMpi Emihle eyayiyimpi Yesibili Yomhlaba. Nawa amaqiniso ambalwa angakhululeki.

Izinhlangano zase-US zathengisa futhi zathola inzuzo kusuka eJalimane lamaNazi phakathi neMpi Yezwe II, futhi uhulumeni wase-US akazange akushaye indiva lokho. AmaNazi, ngobuhlanya bawo, iminyaka ayefuna ukuxosha amaJuda, hhayi ukubabulala - okunye ukuhlanya okufika ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Uhulumeni wase-US wahlela izingqungquthela ezinkulu zezizwe zomhlaba ezivumile obala, ngezizathu ezicacile nezingenamahloni zokulwa namaSemite, ukuthi zingawemukeli amaJuda. Izishoshovu zokuthula zancenga ohulumeni baseMelika kanye nabaseBrithani phakathi nempi leyo ukuthi baxoxisane nokususwa kwamaJuda neminye imigomo eJalimane ukusindisa izimpilo zabo futhi batshelwa ukuthi kwakungeyona into ebaluleke kakhulu. Kungakapheli amahora ambalwa kuphela ukuphela kwempi eYurophu, uWinston Churchill kanye nezikhulu ezihlukene zase-US babehlongoza ukuthi kube nempi eRussia kusetshenziswa amabutho aseJalimane, kwathi iMpi Yomshoshaphansi yaqala ukusetshenziswa ososayensi abangamaNazi.

Uhulumeni wase-US awuzange uhlaselwe ngokungazelele, inganekwane esetshenziswa ukuzwakalisa imfihlo nokuqashelwa kuze kube namuhla. Izishoshovu zokuthula bezilokhu zibhikisha zakha impi neJapan kusukela kuma-1930s. UMongameli uFranklin Roosevelt wayezinikele kuChurchill ukucunula iJapan futhi wasebenza kanzima ukucunula iJapan, futhi wayazi ukuthi lokhu kuhlasela kwakuza, futhi ekuqaleni wabhala isimemezelo sempi ngokumelene neJalimane kanye neJapan kusihlwa sokuhlaselwa kwePearl Harbor nasePhilippines - phambilini ngaleso sikhathi, i-FDR yayisakhe izisekelo e-US nasezilwandle eziningi, yathengisa izikhali eBrits ngezisekelo, yaqala ukulungiswa, yakha uhlu lwawo wonke umuntu waseJapan American ezweni, wanikeza izindiza, abaqeqeshi nezindiza eziya eChina, unswinyo olubi eJapan, futhi weluleka amasosha ase-US ukuthi impi neJapan iyaqala.

Inganekwane yasePearl Harbour ibambe ongezansi isiko laseMelika kangangoba uThomas Friedman wabiza inkampani yaseRussia ethenga inani elincane lezikhangiso ze-Facebook "umcimbi olinganiswa ngePearl," ngenkathi ividiyo yeRob Reiner inenkanyezi uMorgan Freeman ethi " empini neRussia! ”- mhlawumbe impi yokuvikela lo mhlangano, engahlaswanga, engaxineki, ohlelweni lokhetho lwase-US oluhlonishwa emhlabeni jikelele engcupheni yokufunda komphakathi wase-US ukuthi i-DNC isebenza kanjani kuma-primaries ayo.

Izinduna azisindisanga izimpilo. Bathathe izimpilo, cishe i-200,000 yazo. Babengahloselwe ukusindisa izimpilo noma ukuqeda impi. Futhi abayiphelanga impi. Ukuhlasela kweRussia kwakwenza lokho. I-United States Strategic Bombing Survey yaphetha ngokuthi, “…. nempi, noma ngabe bekungekho obekuhleliwe noma kucatshangelwe ukuthi bekuhlaselwe. ”Omunye ophikisana nalowo owaveza lo mbono kuNobhala Wezempi ngaphambi kokuqhuma kwamabhomu nguGeneral Dwight Eisenhower. Usihlalo weNhlangano Ehlangene Yezisebenzi u-Admiral uWilliam D. Leahy uvumile, wathi "Ukusetshenziswa kwalesi sikhali esiyinqwaba eHiroshima naseNagasaki akusizanga ngalutho ekulweni kwethu neJapan. AmaJapan asehluliwe futhi asekulungele ukuzinikela. ”Kwakuvunyelwene naye kwakungu-Admirals Nimitz noHalsey, noGenerations MacArthur, King, Arnold, noLeMay, kanye noBrigadier General Carter Clarke, kanye noNgqongqoshe we-Navy Ralph Bard unxuse ukuthi iJapan inikezwe isexwayiso. U-Lewis Strauss, uMeluleki kuNobhala Wezempi, ukuncome ukushisa ihlathi kunomuzi.

Kodwa ukuqothula amadolobha kwakuyiphuzu lonke, ngendlela efanayo ukwenza izingane ezincane zihlupheke eduze komngcele waseMexico kuyiphuzu lonke. Kunezinye izisusa, kepha azikususi ukudabuka. UHarry Truman ukhulume eSenate yaseMelika ngoJuni 23, 1941: "Uma sibona ukuthi iGerman iyanqoba," kusho yena, "kufanele sisize iRussia, futhi uma iRussia inqoba kufanele sisize iJalimane, ngaleyo ndlela-ke mababulale. abaningi ngangokunokwenzeka. ”Le yindlela umongameli wase-US owabhubhisa uHiroshima acabanga ngayo ngokubaluleka kwempilo yaseYurophu. Ukuvota okwenziwe ngamasosha ase-US e-1943 kwathola ukuthi cishe ingxenye yawo wonke ama-GI akholelwa ukuthi kungadingeka ukubulala wonke umuntu waseJapan emhlabeni. UWilliam Halsey, owayala amabutho empi aseMelika eSouth Pacific phakathi neMpi Yezwe II, wacabanga ngomsebenzi wakhe njengo “Bulala uJaps, bulala uJaps, abulale amaJaps amaningi,” futhi wayethembise ukuthi lapho impi iphela, ulimi lwaseJapan kwakuyokhulunywa esihogweni kuphela.

Ngo-Agasti 6, i-1945, uMongameli Truman waqamba amanga emsakazweni ukuthi kwehlizwe ibhomu lenuzi esiteshini samasosha kunasemzini. Futhi wakuthethelela, hhayi njengokusheshisa ukuphela kwempi, kodwa njengokuziphindiselela emaphutheni aseJapan. “Mnu. UTruman wayejabule kakhulu, ”kubhala uDorothy Day. Emasontweni amaningi ngaphambi kokuba kwehliswe ibhomu lokuqala, ngoJulayi 13, 1945, Japan lase lithumele i-telegraph eSoviet Union izwakalisa isifiso sayo sokunikezela nokuqeda impi. I-United States yayisephule amakhodi aseJapan futhi yafunda i-telegraph. UTruman wabhekisa kudayari yakhe “ocwaningweni oluvela kuJap Emperor ecela ukuthula.” UMongameli uTruman wayetshelwe ngemigudu yaseSwitzerland neyamaPutukezi mayelana nokugumbuqelwa kokuthula kwaseJapan ezinyangeni ezintathu ngaphambi kukaHiroshima. IJapan yenqabile ukunikezela ngokunganikezeli futhi yanikela umbusi wayo, kepha i-United States yagcizelela kulezo zivumelwano kuze kube ngemuva kokuwa kwamabhomu, ngaleso sikhathi yavumela iJapan ukugcina umbusi wayo.

Umeluleki kaMongameli uJames Byrnes utshele uTruman ukuthi ukulahla la mabhomu kuzovumela iMelika "ukuthi ichaze imigomo yokuqeda impi." Unobhala we-Navy James Forrestal ubhale kudayari yakhe ukuthi uByrnes "wayekhathazeke kakhulu ngokufuna ukuhlangana nabaseJapan naye. ngaphambi kokuba amaRussia afike. ”UTruman ubhale kudayari yakhe ukuthi abaseSoviet babelungiselela ukumelana neJapan no“ Fini Japs lapho lokho kwenzeka. ”Futhi lokho bekungaba yinhlekelele enkulu. Kungani i-United States yagcina ihlasele iFrance? Ngoba besaba ukuthi amaRussia azothatha iBerglin eyedwa. Kungani i-United States yabiza iJapan? Ngoba besaba ukuthi amaRussia azokwenza njengoba nje enze futhi alethe ukuzinikela eJapan.

UTruman wayala ukuthi ibhomu lijikijelwe eHiroshima ngo-Agasti 6th nolunye uhlobo lwebhomu, ibhomu le-plutonium, nelithi amabutho ayefuna nokulihlola, eNagasaki ngo-Agasti 9th. Futhi ngo-Agasti 9th, amaSoviet ahlasela amaJapan. Emavikini amabili alandelayo, amaSoviet abulala i-84,000 yaseJapan ngenkathi alahlekelwa yi-12,000 yamasosha awo, kwathi iMelika yaqhubeka nokuqhuma kweJapan ngezikhali ezingezona ezenuzi. Ngemuva kwalokho amaJapane anikezela.

Ukuthi kunesizathu sokusebenzisa izikhali zenuzi kuyinganekwane. Ukuthi kungaphinde kube nesizathu sokusebenzisa izikhali zenuzi kuyinganekwane. Ukuthi singasinda ekusebenziseni izikhali zenuzi kuyinganekwane. Ukuthi kunesizathu sokukhiqiza futhi uhlomise izikhali zenuzi yize ungasoze wazisebenzisa kuyisiwula kakhulu nokuba yinsumansumane. Ukuthi singasinda kuze kube phakade sinazo futhi sikhulisa izikhali zenuzi ngaphandle kokuthi sizisebenzise ngamabomu noma ngamabomu.

Enye inganekwane ngeyimpi engenazikhali zenuzi. Ngicabanga ukuthi kwesinye isikhathi sithanda ukucabanga ukuthi i-United States ne-NATO bangaqhubeka ngokungapheli ngezimpi zabo nezisekelo zabo nokusongelwa kokweqiwa, kepha ngezikhali zenuzi bekuvinjelwe futhi kwaqedwa emhlabeni. Lokhu akulona iqiniso. Awungeke uchithe i-Iraq neLibya, ushiye iNyakatho Korea ehlomile, futhi ufuna impi ne-Iran engahlomile, ungasaphathwa iSyria, Yemen, Somalia, njll, ngaphandle kokuthumela umyalezo onamandla. Uma i-Iran ihlala iqhutshwa ngempumelelo ukuthola izikhali zenuzi, futhi ne-Saudi Arabia nayo inikezwa, kuphela ezweni elinokuthula lapho beyoke bazinikele khona. Ngisho iRussia neChina azisoze zanikela ngezikhali zenuzi kuze kube yilapho iMelika iyeka ukusongela impi - yenuzi noma ngenye indlela. U-Israyeli akasoze anikela ngezikhali zenuzi ngaphandle kokuthi luqale ukubanjwa emazingeni asemthethweni afanayo nezinye izizwe.

ISILENSI

Manje ake sihlole ukuthula. Iningi lokuphakanyiswa kwezinganekwane kwenzeka ngemuva. Yakhelwe kumanoveli namafilimu, izincwadi zomlando kanye ne-CNN. Kepha ubukhona obumangalisayo bungukuthula. Izikole seziqala ukufundisa imininingwane eyisisekelo mayelana nemvelo, ukuwa kwesimo sezulu kanye nokusimama. Kepha bangaki abafundi abaphakeme esikoleni esiphakeme noma basekolishi abangakutshela ukuthi yiziphi izikhali zenuzi ezingenza, ukuthi zingaki zazo, zinabani, noma zingaki ukuthi zicishe zabulala thina sonke. Noma ngabe singahambisa izigodlo ebugqilini nasekuqothulweni kohlanga kube yiminyuziyamu, ingabe kuzobekwa esinye sazo indawo ngesithombe sikaVasily Arkhipov? Ngiyakungabaza kakhulu futhi ngiyangabaza ngisho nokuzama ukucabanga ukuthi ngubani uRachel Maddow ongamsola ngokuthuthuka okunje.

Ezingcupheni ezingamawele sonke esibhekene nazo, zenhlekelele yenuzi nesimo sezulu, kungcono ukuthi kube sengathi abantu laba abaqala ukuzithathela izinyathelo ezinqala yibo abadinga ushintsho olukhulu ezindleleni zokuphila. Akekho umuntu obezophila impilo ehlukile nakancane uma singalahla izikhali zenuzi. Eqinisweni, sonke besingaphila kangcono kakhulu ngayo yonke imiqondo uma singanciphisa noma siqeda isikhungo sempi. Kuyamangaza futhi ukuthi sihlukanise lezi zingozi ezimbili, lapho impi izimbangela ezinkulu zokuwohloka kwemvelo futhi nokuba ngumthombo ongabikwa wamazinga wemali we-Green New Deal kuma-steroid. Inkinga ukuthi ukwahlukana kwenziwa kakhulu ngokuthula. Akekho okhuluma ngosongo lwenuzi. Ngenkathi iTheRealNews.com isanda kubuza i-Governor Inslee ukuthi ngabe uzonciphisa yini impi ukuze avikele isimo sezulu, impendulo yakhe ebibambe isikhathi eside yaba ngu-Cha, kepha isimo sayo esingakalungiswa sadlulisela iphuzu elibaluleke kakhulu: wayengakaze abuzwe lowo mbuzo ngaphambili nange mhlawumbe ngeke siphinde sibe khona.

I-Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists ibeka i-Doomsday Clock eduze kwamabili njengoba kwenzeka. Osopolitiki abahamba phambili bathi kufanele sithathe isinyathelo ngokuphuthumayo. Iningi lamazwe angezona ezenuzi emhlabeni ahlongoza ukuthi izinyoni zivinjelwe ngokushesha. Kepha noma kunjalo kunokuthula. Kungukuthula okugcinelwe ukungamhloniphi okungathandeki, ukuthanda izwe kwezempi, izinzuzo zenzuzo, kanye nokungaholi kobuholi yinhlangano enkulu yezombusazwe noma iqembu layo. NgoJuni, i-Joint Chiefs of Staff yathumela ku-inthanethi yabe isisusa ngokushesha idokhumenti eyayithi "Ukusebenzisa izikhali zenuzi kungadala izimo zemiphumela ebusayo kanye nokubuyiselwa kokuqina kozinzo. . . . Ngokuqondile, ukusebenzisa isikhali senuzi kuzoshintsha ubuningi bempi futhi kudale izimo ezithinta ukuthi ama-Commander azonqoba kanjani ezingxabanweni. ”Ngamanye amagama, ama-lunatics aphethe ama-lobotomies, kepha noma kunjalo sathula kwabezindaba.

Eceleni kokuthula kuntula udumo, umbono wezinduna njengethrekhi yomsebenzi ophansi kakhulu kwezempi, indawo yalabo abantulayo isifiso sokuzibandakanya noma ukuzithoba. Lokhu kufanele ukwesabise umhlaba ukwedlula noma yiluphi olunye uhlobo lobuphekula. Isikhathi esisodwa lapho iCongress isanda kubamba amacala ngengozi yokuqothuka kweplanethi yenuzi kwaba nje ngemuva kokuthi uTrump esongele iNorth Korea ngomlilo nangolaka. Amalungu e-Congress ayesesivumelwaneni sokuphefumula sokuthi azinamandla okuvimbela umongameli ukuthi aqale impi yenuzi. Angikhumbuli ukuthi igama elithi impeachment laqanjwa na. ICongress ibuyele emsebenzini wayo ojwayelekile, kanjalo nezindaba zekhebula.

Kungenzeka ukuthi ukube uMengameli ubesungule izikhali zenuzi eblue futhi wahlongoza ukuthi uzisebenzise, ​​ekugcineni besizothola okuthile obekungathi kungenzeka kungene uNancy Pelosi. Kuqinisekile ukuthi uma uTrump esabisa intatheli ekhamera ngesibhamu abantu abaningi bangaphendula ngandlela thile. Kepha ukusongela izigidi zabantu futhi ngokunokwenzeka bonke ubuntu, he, ho hum. Sithole ukuthula ukuthula, uyazi.

Ngenhlanhla, kunabantu abephula ukuthula. Isikhungo se-Ground Zero sibhidliza ukuthula sibhikishe ukukhazinyuliswa kwezikhali eSeattle Seafair, futhi kusasa ekuseni e-Trident submarine base - thola uqeqesho lwakho lokungahlukumezeki kule ntambama! Ukuya enkantolo eGeorgia kukhona izishoshovu eziyisikhombisa ezilima imibhikisho ezibhikisha eKing Bay Naval Submarine Base ngo-Ephreli 4th. Kule nyanga edlule izishoshovu zokuthula ezivela emhlabeni wonke zilethe incwadi yokunqamula futhi yenqabe eBuchel Air Base eJalimane eyalele ukuthi izindela ezigcinwe ngokungemthetho lapho yi-United States zisuswe njengoba kufunwa ngumthetho.

Futhi kulenyanga edlule, i-US House of Representatives iphasise izichibiyelo eziningi zempi yezomthetho iNational Defense Authorization Act, okubandakanya umbhangqwana onqunyelwe ukwakhiwa kwezikhali zenuzi, umthetho owodwa ovimbela ukwephulwa kweSivumelwano se-INF, kanye nalowo okufanele aqede izikhali eSeattle I-Seafair njengokwengxenye yokuvimbela noma yiziphi izikhali ezengeziwe zikaDonald Trump ngomhla wesine kuJulayi. Kukhona futhi nezichibiyelo ezidlulisiwe ukuze kuphele nokuvinjwa izimpi ezahlukahlukene. Noma ngubani ocabanga ukuthi bamemeze engubeni, nayi iNdlu Yabamele ibeka uhlu olude lwezicelo zethu. Kepha lezo zimfuno kufanele zibhekane neSenethi, uMongameli, nabaxhasi bemikhankaso. Kunendlela elula yokuthumela i-imeyili Representative yakho namaSenator ngalokhu ku-RootsAction.org.

PROPAGANDA

Akuwona wonke umsindo umsindo omuhle. Ake sibheke umzuzu inkinga yesithathu neyokugcina engiyibalile, okuyi-propaganda. I-Iran ibisebenza iminyaka eminingi ekwakheni isikhali senuzi. I-Russia yathatha iCrimea futhi yakhetha umongameli waseMelika. INorth Korea iyinsongo engenangqondo, engacabangeki e-United States. Abantu abawulalela umthetho kumele banciphise ubushiqela baseVenezuela futhi bafake umongameli ofanele. Sinesibopho sokuqhubeka nokwenza i-Afghanistan ibe yisihogo esiphilayo ngoba izinto zingahle zingahambi kahle uma amasosha ase-US eshiya. Bangamasosha akho. Kungumsebenzi wakho. Kungumsebenzi wakwamanye amazwe okuvikela lokhu, njengoba ungatshela lona igama imboni: imboni yezokuvikela. Izwe laseMelika alikwazi ukubandakanyeka ebushushini noma ebuphekula, okuyi-anti-espionage nobuphekula kuphela - okuphikisana nalokho okuyikho, njengoba ungasho ngamagama. Kepha abelungu baseMelika babandakanyeka espionage futhi kumele baboshwe ukuze bavikele inkululeko yabezindaba. Akekho lapha ozohlushwa izinhlelo zokuzivikela zemishini ezifaka umngcele waseCanada naseMexico - ngemuva kwakho konke bazozivikela. Manje yini inkinga yaseRussia? Uma iRussia iqhubeka yehluleka ukuhambisana nezivumelwano ngezindlela ezingacaciswanga futhi ezingenakuthembeka, i-United States kuzofanele iqhubeke nokwabelana ngalezo zivumelwano ukuze kusizakale izivumelwano. Ukube iMelika ibingakhumula izikhali zayo zenuzi, abaseNyakatho Korea bebeyozihlanza amahlandla ayisihlanu, bangene lapha, basithathe bese siqala ukuthatha noma yini esele yenkululeko yethu.

I-Propaganda ubuciko bokugqoka i-paranoia ukuze udlale indima yokuzibophezela ngenkuthalo.

Ingxenye yesithathu ye-US kuvoti olusanda kwenziwa izokweseka ukubulala iNyakatho Korea kanye nokubulala abantu abangenacala - nesibalo sabantu abangenacala. Lokho kusikisela ukungazi ngokweqile kokuthi isenzo esinjalo singayithinta kanjani iMelika. Siphinde siveze ubuhlanya bezenhlalo obukhishwe ngamanga anekhono. Kodwa-ke mhlawumbe kungukuthuthuka kwamaphesenti abantu baseMelika ababezimisele ukubulala isigidi samaJapan ngesikhathi seMpi Yezwe II. Futhi umphakathi wase-US, lapho kuvotwa, uphenduka kancane ngokumelana nokuqhuma kwamabhomu kweHiroshima neNagasaki, okuphakamisa amandla okungenzeka ngelinye ilanga aphikise ukuphindiselwa kwawo.

A New York Times I-op-ed ngoJulayi 1st yaqoshwa yathi "I-Iran Iqa Ukuqamba Isikhali Senyukiliya - kanti uTrump Akakwazi Ukuyiyeka." Ungalokothi ukhumbule ukuthi uTrump wenze konke umuntu angakwenza ofuna i-Iran yakhe isikhali senuzi, okusondele kakhulu lesi sihloko Kwavela emaphephandabeni uqobo amazwi athi ukubikezela komlobi uqobo “kucishe kusho ukuthi [i-Iran] izokwakha imbangi yayo yezikhali zenuzi.” Ukube bengingabhala i-op ndicacisa ukuthi ngokuzayo uSeattle uzogcwalisa imigwaqo yayo ikhofi futhi uzungeze gondola, ngikuqinisekisa New York Times ubengeke aqhwebe ikhanda phezu kwayo ifundeka ukuthi "uSeattle Ujaha Ukwakha Imisele Yekofi - futhi uTrump Akakwazi Ukuyiyeka." Ngicabanga ukuthi isihloko sithi "UGuy Makesenza Ukuqagela Okungenasisekelo."

Amanga esitshelwa ngawo ngezimpi zivame kakhulu futhi kuvame ngezimpi zangesikhathi esedlule noma ezinde. Kepha futhi kukhona amanga asetshenziselwa ukuqala impi ngayinye. Zikhona, ngokwesidingo, zingamanga ngokuphuthumayo. Uma impi ingaqali ngokushesha ngokwanele, kunengozi yokuthula. Into ebalulekile okufanele uyikhumbule ngala manga ukuthi bahlala bephendula umbuzo ongalungile. Ingabe i-Iraq inezikhali? Akunampendulo yalowo mbuzo evumela impi, ngokomthetho, ngokuziphatha, noma ngenye indlela. Eminyakeni eyishumi nambili emva kwaleyo charadi, wonke umuntu eWashington DC, ngaphandle kwezinhlangano zezinhloli, wavuma ngephutha ukuthi i-Iran yayinohlelo lwezikhali zenuzi, futhi impikiswano yaphenduka yokuthi iyalwa yini noma isivumelwano esifana nesivumelwano. Ingabe i-Iran yadubula phansi i-drone noma yahlasela umkhumbi ePersian Gulf? Le yimibuzo ethokozisayo kepha ayihambisani nokuzwakala kwezimpi.

Nakhu okunye: Ngabe le mpi igunyazwe yiCongress? Vele sifuna iCongress ivikele izimpi zikamongameli noma nini lapho kuthanda. Kepha ngicela ungincenge, ngiyacela kuwe, uyeke ukuthi uphikisana nezimpi ezingagunyaziwe kube sengathi impi egunyaziwe izoba ngcono noma ibe semthethweni noma ibe nokuziphatha okuthe xaxa. Cabanga iCanada ihlasela uSeattle ngamabhomu ekhaphethi. Ngubani ongavolontiya ukukhipha la mabhomu emzamweni wokuthola umuntu onikeze idamu ukuthi ngabe uNdunankulu noma iPhalamende lilo eliphethe?

Inkinga eyodwa ngokuqala izimpi ukuthi zingangena ziphenduke ezimpini zenuzi. Okunye ukuthi noma iyiphi impi, lapho isiqalile, kunzima kakhulu ukuyimisa kunokuba ibingavinjelwa. Lokhu kungenxa yenkulumo-ze-Troopism. Sinezindawo eziningi ezishikashikayo ezithi izimpi ezenziwa e-Iraq nase-Afghanistan bezingakaze ziqale, njengabaningi babo bonke abanye abantu. Kodwa-ke sisenamalungu eCongress azimisele ngokuqhubeka nezimpi ukuze enze lokho okubizwa ngokuthi “ukusekela amabutho.”

Ukuvimbela izimpi kuyindlela okufanele uhambe ngayo. Impi e-Iran ivinjiwe kaningana, futhi ukunqotshwa okukhulu kweSyria kwavinjelwa e2013.

Ukuvimbela izimpi zenuzi empeleni kuyindlela okufanele uhambe ngayo, noma kunalokho indlela yokungahambi - indlela yokuhlala uphila.

Kepha uma sicabanga ngempi ngayinye ehlongozwayo njengempi engaba yempi yenuzi, kungahle kube lula ngathi ukuthi siqonde ukuthi azikho izizathu ezinikezwa impi ezosondela ekuzithetheleleni. Ngenkathi kungenzeka ngandlela thile sikholwe ukuthi ubugebengu obuthile buvumela ubugebengu obukhulu kakhulu, asinakukholwa ukuthi buvuma ukuqothulwa.

Ngonyaka we-2000, i-CIA yanikeza u-Iran (amaphuzu aphikisayo nakwezinye izici) zezinto eziyinhloko zezikhali zenuzi. Ku-2006 uJames Risen wabhala ngalokhu "ukusebenza" encwadini yakhe State of War. Ku-2015, i-United States ishushiswa owayengummeli we-CIA, uJeffrey Sterling, ngoba kuthiwa ugibele indaba ethi Kuvuke. Ngesikhathi sokushushiswa, i-CIA kwenziwa umphakathi ikhebula elibambe ingxenye yalo elikhombise ukuthi ngokushesha ngemuva kokuhambisa isipho sayo e-Iran, i-CIA yayiqale imizamo yokwenza okufanayo nase-Iraq.

Asinakho indlela yokwazi uhlu oluphelele lwamanye amazwe uhulumeni wase-US unikezele izinhlelo zezikhali zenuzi. I-Trump manje enikeza nyukliya izimfihlo eya eSaudi Arabia ngokungahambisani neSivumelwano Sokungazibandakanyi, umthetho we-Atomic Energy Act, intando yeCongress, isifungo sakhe sokuba yisikhundla, kanye nomqondo ojwayelekile. Lokhu kuziphatha okungenani kuthandeke njengamaxhaso wemithombo yamalahle noma imfuyo, kepha kuphi ulaka? Ngokuyinhloko kugxile ekubulaweni kweSaudi eyodwa Washington Post intatheli. Uma singaba okungenani nenqubomgomo yokunganikeli izikhali zenuzi kohulumeni ababulalayo Washington Post izintatheli ezingaba yinto ethile.

Okwamanje amazwe e-70 asayine futhi i-23 ivumelanise isivumelwano kwi-Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. Sidinga ukugcina sisekela ekwakheni lokho emhlabeni wonke kanye nasemazweni enuzi. Kepha kudinga ukuba yingxenye yemizamo yethu yokuqeda yonke impi kanye nokuqeda sonke isikhungo sempi. Hhayi ngoba siyahaha, kodwa ngoba ukuphela kwendlela esizophumelela ngayo. Umhlaba ongenazo izinduna kodwa ngemishini ekhona ekhona akunakwenzeka. UMikhail Gorbachev ubhale eminyakeni emithathu eyedlule ukuthi isikhathi sesifikile sokuqeda izinduna, "kepha kungathathwa njengokuyiqiniso yini ukuthi, ngemuva kokukhipha umhlaba ngezikhali zokubhujiswa kwabantu abaningi, izwe elilodwa lizobe seliphethe izikhali ezivamile kunalezo zempi ezihlangene Cishe wonke amanye amazwe emhlabeni ahlanganiswa? Ukube bekunokuphakama ngokuphelele kwezempi emhlabeni? . . . Ngizokusho ngokungananazi ukuthi ithemba elinjalo lingaba isithiyo esingenakunqobeka sokukhulula izwe ngezikhali zenuzi. Uma singalungisi inkinga yokudilizwa kwezombusazwe okujwayelekile, ukuncishiswa kwezabelomali zezikhali, ukuyeka ukwakhiwa kwezikhali ezintsha, ukuvinjwa kokulwa kwempi endaweni yonke, konke ukukhuluma kwezwe elingenazikhali zenuzi kuzize. ”

Ngamanye amagama, sidinga ukukuqeda ukubulawa kwabantu ngokungenanjongo ngaphandle kwezikhali ezisetshenzisiwe, kungaba yinyukliya, amakhemikhali, okuyisibalo, okuvamile, noma okubizwa ngokuthi amandla athambile okujeziswa kanye nokuvinjwa. Umbono esihlakulele kuwo World BEYOND War akuyona eyempi ngezikhali ezifanele, njengoba nje sinombono wokudlwengulwa kwabantu noma ukuhlukunyezwa kwezingane ngenkani. Kukhona izinto ezithile ezingeke ziguqulwe, okumele zichithwe. Impi ingenye yalezo zinto.
