I-NEW YORK (IDN) - Esimeni esibi kakhulu sokubika manje sihlaselwa ngemininingwane yokuthi umhlaba uzama kanjani ngokuphuthumayo ukwehlisa izivalo ukugwema ukuthi kube nemiphumela ebulalayo ngenxa yokuqubuka kwe-coronavirus okumenyezelwe kabanzi, okubangela ukuthi kuhlehliswe. noma mhlawumbe ukwehliswa kweNkomfa Yokubuyekeza eyisibopho yeminyaka emihlanu ezayo yeSivumelwano Sokungabhebhetheki (I-NPT).

Kuyamangaza ukuthi, akucishe kubikwe kahle, ukuthi i-NPT eneminyaka engama-50 isongela umhlaba ngokugula okubi kakhulu kune-coronavirus entsha ethusayo.

Isidingo esibucayi se-NPT sokuthi amazwe ahlomile ngezikhali zenuzi, asayina isivumelwano ngo-1970, kufanele enze “imizamo yokwethembeka” yokuqeda izikhali zenuzi cishe siyafa njengoba amazwe enza izikhali zenuzi ezintsha, ezinye ezibonakala “njengezisebenziseka” futhi ezicekela phansi izivumelwano ezibe nomthelela. endaweni ezinzile.

Lokhu kufaka phakathi i-Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty yango-1972 lapho i-US yaxoxisana ne-USSR futhi yaphuma ngo-2002, kanye nokwenqaba kwayo okuphindaphindiwe okuvela eRussia naseChina ukuze kuxoxiswane ngesivumelwano sokugcina izikhali zingekho emkhathini, kanye nokusuka eRussia ukuvimba impi ye-cyberwar, konke lokhu kuzoba nomthelela “ekuzinzeni kwamasu” okuzokwenza ukuthi kufezeke isithembiso se-NPT sokuncishiswa kwezikhali zenuzi.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, kulo nyaka i-US yahoxa esivumelwaneni se-Intermediate Nuclear Force eyasenza neRussia ngo-1987, yasishiya isivumelwano senuzi eyayisixoxile ne-Iran, futhi isanda kumemezela ukuthi ngeke ihlangane neRussia ukudingida ukuvuselelwa kweStrategic Arms Control. Isivumelwano (START), sizophelelwa yisikhathi kulo nyaka, esikhawulela amakhanda ezikhali zenuzi nemicibisholo.

Iphinde yakha igatsha elisha lezempi yayo, uMnyango Wezamkhathi, owawukade ugcinwe e-US Airforce. Futhi ngokwephula okusobala “kokukholwa okuhle” kulo Febhuwari i-US yenza impi yenuzi “elinganiselwe” ngokumelene neRussia emdlalweni wempi!

Ngeke kwenqatshwe ukuthi i-NPT inomthelela ekwandeni kwezikhali zenuzi ezikhulayo nakakhulu ngokwelula “ilungelo elingenakuphikwa” elilahlwe yiphutha lamandla enuzi “anokuthula”, okwamanje ikhuthaza lobu buchwepheshe obubulalayo eSaudi Arabia, UAE, Belarus, Bangladesh kanye neTurkey bonke abakha amandla abo enuzi. izitshalo zokuqala zamandla enuzi - ukwandisa okhiye bemboni yamabhomu emazweni amaningi, kuyilapho cishe zonke izifunda zamanje zezikhali zenuzi zinezikhali zenuzi ezintsha ezisathuthukiswa.

I-US, isibonelo, ihlela ukusebenzisa imali engaphezu kwesigidi sezigidi zamaRandi eminyakeni eyi-10 ezayo futhi isebenza ne-UK esikhundleni sezikhali zenuzi ze-Trident zaseBrithani.

Kunokuba ikhulume ngendlela ethembisayo eya phambili ehlinzekwe yiSivumelwano esisha Sokuvinjelwa Kwezikhali Zenuzi ukuze kuvinjwe leli bhomu ekugcineni, i-US yethule uhlelo olusha, Lokudala Imvelo Yezikhali Zenuzi (CEND), ukuthuthukisa elinye futhi iqoqo lezinyathelo ezintsha ezingase zibe khona. ukuthobela izithembiso zayo zeminyaka engu-50 “zokholo oluhle” zokuncishiswa kwezikhali zenuzi.

Emhlanganweni wakamuva eStockholm nabalingani bayo abayishumi nanhlanu, kumenyezelwe izinyathelo ezintsha zokuncishiswa kwezikhali zenuzi manje osekuchazwa ngokuthi “amatshe okunyathela”, njengoba bephothule izibopho ezihlukahlukene phakathi neminyaka “ngezinyathelo” kanye “nokuzinikela okungaguquki” kulezo zinyathelo, kusukela i-NPT yanwetshwa ngo-1970, ngokungapheli nangokungenamibandela.

Lawa “matshe okunyathela” amasha asikhumbuza ngomdwebo omangalisayo ka-MG Escher wochungechunge lwezinyathelo eziya ndawo lapho abantu begibela izitebhisi bengapheli, bangaze bafike lapho beya khona! [IDN-InDepthNews – 08 March 2020]
