Isimangalo Sombusi WaseVermont Sokuthi Akanamandla Okumisa I-F-35 Isanda Kuvela

Ukuvuza kwezinkulungwane zamalitha kaphethiloli emathangini angaphansi komhlaba oMbutho Wamasosha Asolwandle ase-US ePearl Harbor kungcolise amanzi okuphuza futhi kwafaka ubuthi futhi kwagula izinkulungwane zabantu, okuhlanganisa nezingane, ezixosha imindeni engu-3,500 ezindlini zabo, njengoba kubikiwe The Washington Post, January 10, 2022. Indawo yokugcina uphethiloli ihlezi endaweni engamafidi angu-100 ngaphezu kwendawo engaphansi kwamanzi ahlanzekile yase-Oahu.

Ingabe iHawaii yalandela ezinyathelweni zoMbusi waseVermont u-Phil Scott futhi yaphoqelela izenzo ezingalungile zamasosha noma izimboni zezempi kubantu abavamile kuyilapho ithi ayinamandla?

I-Hawaii ikhiphe imiyalo eqinile kuButho Lezempi Lasemanzini lase-US futhi layithobela

Ngokuphambene nje. Iziphathimandla zezempilo eHawaii zasukuma ngokushesha zacela iNavy ukuthi imise ukuhlukunyezwa. Umbuso ukhiphe i umyalelo wesimo esiphuthumayo. Kwathi lapho uMbutho Wezempi Wezempi uqala ukuphikisana, umbuso wabamba ukulalelwa komphakathi. Futhi-ke umbuso wakhipha umyalo wokugcina oqinisekisa umyalo ophuthumayo futhi waqondisa isinyathelo esisheshayo seNavy. Konke phakathi kwamaviki angu-6.

Umyalelo wezimo eziphuthumayo wawubala izinyathelo ezithile okufanele zenziwe yiNavy ukuvikela impilo nokuphepha komphakathi futhi unikeze umnqamulajuqu wezinsuku ezingama-30. Lezo zenzo ezidingekayo zihlanganisa ukukhipha wonke uphethiloli emathangeni angaphansi komhlaba ngemva kokuhlolwa ngokucophelela ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi ukudonsa amanzi ngokwawo kungafezwa ngokuphephile.

Njengoba kubikiwe ku The Hill, "I-Navy ukuze ithobele umyalo ophuthumayo wokuvuza kwamathangi kaphethiloli e-Pearl Harbor," ngoJanuwari 11, 2022, i-Rear Admiral Blake Converse, isekela lomkhuzi we-US Pacific Fleet uthe, "Yebo, siyawuthola umyalelo wezimo eziphuthumayo okhishwe uMnyango Wezempilo waseHawaii, futhi sithatha isinyathelo ngoba umyalelo osemthethweni okumele uhambisane nawo.”

Ngakho-ke, iHawaii okwamanje ijabulela iqiniso lokuthi ezinsukwini eziyisi-6 ezedlule uhulumeni wayo wezwe ulawule ngempumelelo I-US Navy kanye namathangi abo okugcina angaphansi komhlaba ukuze kuvikelwe impilo nokuphepha komphakathi ePearl Harbor.

Isenzo esisheshayo, esiqondile, nesinamandla se-Hawaii sihluke kakhulu emithethweni yokulimaza ngamabomu impilo nokuphepha komphakathi nsuku zonke ekhishwa uMbusi waseVermont uPhil Scott. Umbusi waseVermont uyaqhubeka noku-oda ukuqeqeshwa kwe-F-35 emadolobheni ngokunganaki okonakele ngomonakalo odabukisayo awubangela ezinganeni nakubantu abadala endleleni yendiza.

Ukulimaza izakhamuzi kwabhalwa yi-US Air Force ngokwayo

The Isitatimende Somthelela Wendawo Ezungezile sase-US Air Force F-35 (EIS) ithe cishe imindeni engu-3000 yase-Vermont, okuhlanganisa nezingane ezingaba ngu-1,300, ihlala endaweni yomsindo emise okweqanda engu-115-decibel F-35 egxile endleleni yezindiza, ehlanganisa izingxenye ezinkulu zamadolobha aseVermont anabantu abaningi kakhulu. I-Air Force EIS iqhube yathi umsindo oshubile we-F-35 kuyo yonke le ndawo okuhloswe ngayo umsindo wenza wonke amahektha ayi-2,252 lapho abantu abangu-6,663 behlala khona "engafaneleki ukusetshenziselwa ukuhlala."

I-Air Force EIS iphinde yadalula "umthelela ongalingani" "kubantu abambalwa nabahola kancane." Ukusuka nokufika kwe-F-35 esikhumulweni sezindiza i-Burlington kugxile ebuhlungu nokulimala okuvela kumsindo oqhumayo we-F-35 cishe ikakhulukazi kwabokufika, i-BIPOC, nabamhlophe besigaba sabasebenzi base-Vermonters e-Burlington, Winooski, Williston, kanye nendawo yase-Chamberlin School yaseNingizimu Burlington. Ayikho indawo ecebile engaphakathi kwendawo okuhloswe ngayo umsindo ye-F-35.

Umqulu II we-Air Force EIS ihlinzeke ngezifundo zesayensi ezibonisa ukulimala kwezindlebe ngenxa yokuchayeka kaningi emsindweni wejethi yezempi owawungakhulumeli nakancane njenge-115-decibel F-35. Futhi izifundo ezibonisa ukuthuthukiswa kwamakhono okuqonda ezingane zehliswa, amakilasi aphazanyiswa, futhi “imisebenzi ehilela ukucutshungulwa okumaphakathi nokuqonda ulimi,” “njengokufunda, ukunaka, ukuxazulula izinkinga, kanye nokukhumbula,” yakhinyabezwa ukuchayeka ngisho nasezintweni eziningi. izinga eliphansi lomsindo wezindiza ezivamile ezikhumulweni zezindiza ezimatasa zezentengiselwano.

Lokho kuvunyelwa yi-US Air Force emuva ngo-2013 bekufanele ngabe kwaba ngaphezu kokwanele ukuthi umbusi waseVermont ahoxise ukuqeqeshwa kwe-F-35 emadolobheni ngaphambi kokuthi amajethi afike ngo-2019.

Ukulimala okuyihlazo kubantu kuqinisekiswe ngabangaphezu kuka-650 baseVermonters abaphendule uchungechunge lwenhlolovo eziku-inthanethi kusukela ngoMashi 2020. Ibhokisi labo lokuhlola kanye nezitatimende eziku-yakho-kwakho-amagama zibika ubuhlungu, ukulimala, ukucindezeleka, nokuhlupheka okulimaza izindlebe nobuchopho izindiza zokuqeqesha ze-115-decibel F-35 emadolobheni ase-Vermont.

Ukulimala kwabantu abaningi kwaqinisekiswa futhi kwandiswa yimibiko mayelana VTDigger lapha futhi lapha, isihloko ekhasini lokuqala ku Izinsuku eziyisikhombisa, ifilimu yemizuzu engu-12, "I-Jetline, Amazwi Avela Emzileni Wendiza,” ngo ubufakazi bezakhamuzi ezingama-30 eMkhandlwini weDolobha laseWinooski ngoSepthemba 7, 2021 phambi kwabaphathi abathathu be-Vermont Air National Guard, futhi umbiko kuChannel 5.

Umbusi waseVermont uqamba amanga ukuthi akanamandla

Ngenkathi evame ukwethula ngobuntu obuthambile obuthambile, uMbusi, njengomphathi oyinhloko we-Vermont National Guard akazange athathe isinyathelo sokuvikela i-Vermonters. Ebonisa ukungabi nandaba okonakele ngokuhlupheka, umbusi wavuma “umthelela” kanye “nezindleko” kubantu abavamile esitatimendeni esibhaliwe. entathelini yezinsuku Eziyisikhombisa ngoJulayi 2021. Kodwa waqhubeka noku-oda ukuqeqeshwa kwe-115-decibel F-35 emadolobheni ukuthi kuqhubeke.

Nge-imeyili kaJulayi 14, 2021 eya entathelini ye IBurlington Free Press umkhulumeli wombusi uzame ukusola ukuqeqeshwa kwe-F-35 kuhulumeni wobumbano:

Umbusi unguMkhuzi-Mkhulu Wonogada Bombuso, futhi njengoba wazi ukuthi umkhankaso we-F-35 ungowombuso, futhi vele uhulumeni wobumbano njengophambili uma kuziwa kwezempi. Kodwa-ke, noma ngabe bekusemandleni oMbusi, njengoba eshilo, uwusekela ngokugcwele umsebenzi we-F-35 we-Vermont Air National Guard.

Ngenhlanhla kubantu basePearl Harbour, iSifundazwe saseHawaii asizange sikunake ukuthobela igunya lenhlangano namasosha okwenziwa kule imeyili.

I-Hawaii: Izikhulu zikahulumeni ziyala kuyilapho imithetho yezwe neyendawo ivikela izakhamuzi

The Umthethosisekelo wase-US inikeza uMongameli kanye neCongress umyalo wokusebenza kwe-US Navy. Kodwa umthetho wase-US uhlinzeka ngokucacile ukuthi uhulumeni wobumbano, wesifunda, nowasekhaya bonke bangabeka izindinganiso okufanele abanikazi bamathangi okugcina angaphansi komhlaba bahlangabezane nazo. Ngaphansi esinye isigaba salowo mthetho wombuso “okuqinile” kakhulu kulawo mazinga kuyabusa. Ngokwesisekelo saleyo mithetho yenhlangano iHawaii yakwazi ukuphoqelela imithetho yezwe.

Iqiniso lokuthi i-State of Hawaii ayizange nje iyalele i-Navy ukuthi ikhiphe amathangi ayo okugcina uphethiloli angaphansi komhlaba ukuze ivikele amanzi okuphuza, kodwa nokuthi iHawaii yenza lokho kunamathela, kuwubufakazi obunamandla obuphikisana nesimangalo sombusi waseVermont sokuthi akanamandla. “Injongo” yeNavy yokugcina uphethiloli endaweni yemidlalo yaseshashalazini yasePacific ayizange ikhansele noma ivimbele ukusetshenziswa okufanele kwamandla okulawula yiHawaii ukuvikela impilo nokuphepha komphakathi.

I-Vermont: Umbusi uyala kuyilapho imithetho yenhlangano ivikela izakhamuzi

Mayelana nokuqeqeshwa kwamayunithi onogada kazwelonke, izindima zokuyala nezokulawula ziyahlehliswa. Umthethosisekelo wase-US kanye umthetho we-federal uhlinzeka ngokucacile izifunda ngegunya ukuqhuba ukuqeqeshwa konogada kuzwelonke kodwa kufanele bakwenze lokho “ngokulandela isiyalo esibekwe yiCongress.”

ICongress yamukele umthetho othi isiyalo, noma izindinganiso, zokuqeqeshwa konogada kazwelonke "izohambisana” ekuqeqesheni amasosha ase-US.

Isiyalo soMnyango Wezokuvikela (DoD). ihlanganisa uMthetho Wosizo Lwamazwe Ngamazwe, owaziwa nangokuthi uMthetho Wezempi, ovikela izakhamuzi. Isimiso sayo ngasinye senza ukundiza nokuhla namajethi angu-115-decibel emadolobheni kube ngokungemthetho:

(1) Njengoba ukuqeqeshwa ngamajethi e-F-35 kungenziwa ngokulinganayo emgwaqeni wezindiza oqhelile ezindaweni ezinabantu abaningi, futhi njengoba indawo yedolobha, ngokuvamile, iwukuba lula nje, ukuqeqeshwa. edolobheni ngamajethi e-F-35 akusona “isidingo sezempi,” ngakho-ke kufanele ame manje.

(2) Ukuqeqeshwa edolobheni elinamajethi e-F-35 kwehluleka ukuhlinzeka ngokuhlukana okwanele kwamabutho ezempi ezindaweni ezinabantu abaningi okudingeka “ngokuhlukaniswa.” Iqondise ngempela amadolobha agcwele izakhamuzi, iphinde yephule “ukwahlukana.” Ukuqeqeshwa edolobheni kufanele kuhoxiswe.

(3) Ukuqeqeshwa edolobheni elinamajethi e-F-35 kuguqula izakhamuzi zasedolobheni zibe izihlangu zabantu ze-F-35, okwephula kokubili “udumo” kanye “nomehluko.” Ukuvikela abantu kuyicala lempi.

(4) I-F-35 yayiklanyelwe ukundiza ngesivinini esiphezulu, ingasuki futhi ihlale emadolobheni agcwele izingane. Ukuqeqeshwa edolobheni elinamajethi e-F-35 kulimaza futhi kulimaza izakhamuzi ngokungadingekile futhi kusebenzisa i-F-35 ngendlela engazange yakhelwe yona ebangela ukuhlupheka kwabantu abaningi, ephula “ubuntu.”

(5) Ukuqeqeshwa emadolobheni anamajethi e-F-35 kunikeza i-zero ithuba lokuqeqeshwa okukude nezindawo ezinabantu abaningi ukuze kuqedwe impi noma kuphi emhlabeni, ngakho-ke ukulimala kwamakhulu ama-Vermonters endaweni yedolobha akunakuthethelelwa “njengokulingana.” Ngoba akusona isixwayiso esingenzeka sokuqeqeshwa okukude nezindawo ezinabantu abaningi noma izinyathelo ezinokwenzeka zokufaka ukufakwa kwensimbi ezinkulungwaneni zezindlu. ngaphambili kokusebenza sekuthathiwe, ukuqeqeshwa emadolobheni kwehluleka ukulingana.

Kodwa ungazami ukuphikisa ngokuthi izimiso zomthetho wempi zisebenza kuphela phakathi nempi yezikhali. Impela, uzobe uqinisile lokho I-DoD Directive 2311.01 idinga abaphathi “ukuba bahambisane nomthetho wempi phakathi kwazo zonke izingxabano ezihlomile, noma zibonakala kanjani.” Kodwa i-DoD Directive 2311.01 bese iqhubeka ithi:

Kuyo yonke eminye imisebenzi yezempi, amalungu e-DoD Components azoqhubeka nokusebenza ngokuhambisana nomthetho wezimiso nemithetho yempi eyisisekelo, ehlanganisa leyo eku-Common Article 3 ye-1949 Geneva Conventions kanye nemigomo yesidingo sezempi, ubuntu, umehluko, ukulingana. , nodumo.

Okusho ukuthi imigomo yomthetho wempi kufanele isetshenziswe ngesikhathi sokuqeqeshwa eVermont.

Ngakho-ke, uma ubucabanga ukuthi imithetho yenhlangano ibusayo, ulungile, ngandlela thize. Kungumthethosisekelo wenhlangano kanye nomthetho wenhlangano lokho reserves to ithi igunya lokuqeqesha unogada kazwelonke. Kodwa lezi zinhlinzeko ezifanayo ze-federal nazo zidinga ukuthobela imithetho ye-DoD yomthetho wempi evimbela izifundazwe ukuthi ziqhube ukuqeqeshwa ngendlela elimaza izakhamuzi. Lezi zinhlinzeko nemithetho ye-DoD yenza ukuqeqeshwa kwe-F-35 emadolobheni kube ngokungekho emthethweni futhi idinga umbusi ukuthi ayalele ukumiswa kwalezo zindiza ze-F-35 emadolobheni.

Ikakhulukazi manje, lapho iHawaii ikhombisa ukuthi izwe lingasebenzisa kanjani imithetho yombuso ekhona ukuthatha isinyathelo sokuvikela izakhamizi zaso ekusebenzeni kwezempi okuyingozi, iziphathimandla zaseVermont akumele zivunyelwe ukubukela phansi nokudebesela umthetho wenhlangano kanye nesiyalo sezempi esivikela izakhamuzi. Izikhulu zaseVermont kumele kudingeke ukuthi zihambisane nomthetho wokuqondiswa kwezigwegwe futhi ziyeke ukulimaza nokuhlukumeza izakhamuzi ngezindiza zokuqeqesha i-F-35 emadolobheni aseVermont.

I-Hawaii yafakazela ukuthi amandla okulawula agunyazwe uhulumeni anikezwe izifundazwe ayenele ukuthi umbuso uyalele iNavy ukuthi ikhiphe amathangi okugcina angaphansi komhlaba avuzela uphethiloli emanzini. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi “injongo” yoMbutho Wasolwandle yayiyini endaweni yeshashalazi yasePacific, lowo mkhankaso awuzange ulawule umphumela.

I-Vermont empeleni isesimweni esinamandla kune-Hawaii ngoba i-Vermont inegunya lomyalo nokulawula. Akukho ukuzwa okungadingeka. Umbusi udinga kuphela ukukhipha i-oda lokumisa izindiza ezingekho emthethweni ze-F-35 emadolobheni. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngezindlela ezinhlanu ezihlukene, imithetho ye-DoD kanye ne-Air Force idinga ukuthi abaphathi be-Vermont Guard baqhube imisebenzi yokuqeqeshwa kwezempi ngendlela evikela izakhamuzi. Ngakho-ke isithiyo esikhulu esigcina izinkulungwane zemindeni yase-Vermont isesimweni esilimazayo ukwehluleka koMbusi kanye nabaphathi be-Guardian ukukhipha umyalo wokumisa ukuqeqeshwa kwe-F-35 emadolobheni.

Abahlanganyeli

Yiqiniso, hhayi uMbusi kuphela. Unabambisene nethimba le-Congressional, ubuholi bezomthetho, nasemahhovisi abashushisi bezifunda, izifunda kanye nefederal. Bonke laba baholi bezifundazwe babamba iqhaza ngenkuthalo noma bamukele buthule ukwephulwa kwamalungelo abantu. Konke kubonakala kusebenza ngokwethembeka kokuqala kubakhi bempi kanye nesakhiwo sezempi nezimboni. Abaholi bezombangazwe abonakele kangaka abanakuze bathenjwa ukuthi benzela amaVermonters okufanele.

Kudingeka umkhankaso

Kudingeka umkhankaso omkhulu wokumisa ukuqeqeshwa kwe-F-35 emadolobheni kanye nokuvikela impilo nokuphepha komphakathi. Ukususa abephula umthetho ezikhundleni zikahulumeni, kanye nokufuna uphenyo oluzimele nolungathathi hlangothi kanye nokushushiswa kwabo. Nokubuyisela uhlobo lwesithunzi nobuqotho esifundazweni saseVermont okungenzeka ukuthi iHawaii isijabulela manje.
