Mongameli Othandekayo,

Sikubhalela ngomcimbi woSuku Lomhlaba Wonke Lokuqedwa Kwezikhali Zenuzi, olumenyezelwe yi-United Nations General Assembly ukuthi lugujwe minyaka yonke ngoSepthemba 26.

Njengamaqhawe aselwile ezimpini eziningi zase-US, sikhathazekile ngengozi yangempela yempi yenuzi engabulala izigidi zabantu futhi engabhubhisa nempucuko yabantu. Ngakho-ke sicela ukuthi sibe negalelo Ekubuyekezweni Kwenqubomgomo Yenyukliya okusungulwe abaphathi bakho muva nje.

Empeleni ngubani oqhuba lokhu kubuyekezwa kokuma kwesikhashana kweNukliya? Sethemba ukuthi awekho amathangi okucabanga afanayo abekade enxenxa izimpi eziyinhlekelele eziye zabulala futhi zalimaza izinkulungwane zamasosha ase-US kanye namakhulu ezinkulungwane zabantu e-Afghanistan, e-Iraq, eSyria nakwezinye izindawo. Sethemba ukuthi akuwona amaCold Warriors afanayo asebenzise inqubomgomo yezangaphandle yase-US. Noma ojenene asebethathe umhlalaphansi abajabulela impi kumanethiwekhi ekhebula. Futhi asithembi neze ukuthi imboni yezokuvikela uqobo lwayo, eyenza inzuzo eyihlazo ekulungisweni kwempi nokulungiselela impi, futhi enentshisekelo ebekiwe “esimanjemanje,” sezikhali zenuzi.

Empeleni, kungukwesaba kwethu ukuthi yibo kanye laba “ochwepheshe” okwamanje abenza i-Nuclear Posture Review. Ngabe bazoncoma ukuthi siqhubeke nokudlala “inkukhu yenuzi” neRussia, China, North Korea kanye nezinye izifundazwe ezihlomile ngenuzi? Ngabe bazoncoma ukuthi i-US iqhubeke nokuchitha izigidigidi zamadola ukwakha izikhali zenuzi ezintsha kanye nezinhlekisa kakhudlwana nezinhlelo ze "missile defense"? Ingabe bakholelwa ukuthi impi yenuzi inganqotshwa?

Umphakathi wase-US awazi nokuthi ngubani oqhuba i-Nuclear Posture Review. Ngokusobala akukho ukubonakala okusobala enqubweni enganquma ikusasa lesizwe sethu neplanethi yethu. Siyacela ukuthi wenze obala amagama nezinhlangano zabo bonke labo abasetafuleni le-Nuclear Posture Review. Ngaphezu kwalokho, sicela ukuthi amaVeterans For Peace nezinye izinhlangano zokuthula nezikhali zinikezwe isihlalo etafuleni. Intshisekelo yethu kuphela esinayo ukuthola ukuthula, nokugwema inhlekelele yenuzi.

Lapho iSivumelwano SeZizwe Ezihlangene Sokuvimbela Izikhali ZaseNyukliya siqala ukusebenza ngoJanuwari 22, 2021, waba nguMongameli wokuqala ukubhekana nomsebenzi olandelayo weNuclear Posture Review lapho ubhekene noMthetho Wamazwe Omhlaba omemezela ukuthi izikhali zenuzi azikho emthethweni. Manje ukubambe ngamandla akho ukukhombisa abantu baseMelika nasemhlabeni ukuthi uzibophezele enhlosweni yomhlaba ongenayo inuzi.

IVeterans For Peace ikukhuthaza ukuthi wenze okulandelayo:

1. Yamukela futhi umemezele inqubomgomo ethi “Akukho ukusetshenziswa kokuqala” kwezikhali zenuzi futhi wenze leyo nqubomgomo ithembeke ngokususa esidlangalaleni ama-ICBM ase-US angasetshenziswa kuphela esitelekeni sokuqala;
2. Susa izikhali zenuzi zase-US ngaphandle kwesixwayiso sezinwele (Launch On Warning) bese ugcina ama-warheads ngokwahlukana nezinhlelo zokulethwa, ngaleyo ndlela anciphise amathuba okushintshana ngengozi ngenhloso, okungagunyaziwe, noma okungahlosiwe;

5. Qeda igunya elilodwa, elingavunyelwe lanoma yimuphi umongameli (noma izithunywa zakhe kanye nezithunywa zabo) ukuqala ukuhlasela kwenuzi futhi kudinge ukuvunywa kweCongressal kwanoma yikuphi ukusetshenziswa kwezikhali zenuzi;
6. Ukuhambisana nezibopho zethu ngaphansi kweSivumelwano Sokulwa Nokungakhuli Kwezikhali Zase-1968 (XNUMX) ngokulandela ngenkuthalo isivumelwano esingaqinisekiswa phakathi kwamazwe ahlomile ngenuzi ukuqeda izinqolobane zawo zenuzi;

Kuzoba yinto yangempela eya phambili ekubonakaleni nakwintando yeningi yethu uma abamele izinhlangano ezizimele zokuthula nezokulwa nezikhali benikezwa ukufinyelela kule nqubo ebaluleke kakhulu. Simele izigidi zabantu ezingafuni lutho ngaphandle kokubona i-United States yenza "Isisekelo Sokuthula" esimangazayo. Iyiphi indawo engcono yokuqala ngaphandle kokuhlehla emaphethelweni empi yenuzi? AmaRandi ayizigidigidi zentela yase-US alondoloziwe angasetshenziswa ezinsongweni zokuphepha zikazwelonke zeClimate Crisis kanye nobhubhane lweCovid-19. Yiliphi ifa elingcono lokuPhathwa kweBiden kunokuqala inqubo engaholela ekuphelisweni kwezikhali zenuzi emhlabeni wonke!

Ozithobayo,
