Impendulo eyodwa
Lena ikholomu yami yeRejista ye-Brookings (SD) yaleli sonto.
10/10/22
Kube khona engikubonayo nemisindo eyohlala inamathele kimi. Bangena engqondweni yami noma nini lapho ngizwa izikhulu zikahulumeni zikhuluma ngezikhali zenuzi kanye nokusetshenziswa kwazo.
Umbono wawumi endlini yesonto e-Ellsworth Air Force Base futhi ubheke phezulu ophahleni. Kwakunophawu olwaluzoqala ukukhanya ukuze luxwayise ngosongo oluzayo, okungenzeka ukuthi umcibisholo wezikhali zenuzi ovela kumkhumbi-ngwenya waseRussia ogwini olusentshonalanga ye-US Kwakusho ukuthi bonke labo masosha asemoyeni ababehlezi endlini yesonto ekukhulekeleni babenemizuzu engaba ngamashumi amabili ukuthi bangene endlini yabo. amabhomu enuzi ahlomile futhi awasuse phansi ukuze aziphindiselele ngaphambi kokuba isisekelo sicekelwe phansi.
Umsindo wawulalele uMkhuzi we-Ellsworth Missile Wing. Ngaleso sikhathi, i-Ellsworth yayizungezwe imicibisholo eyi-150 minuteman, ngayinye ine-warhead eyi-megaton eyodwa. Othile eqenjini lethu labavakashi bokuthula wabuza uMkhuzi ukuthi wayezokwenzani uma kusobala ukuthi umcibisholo ocitshwayo weSoviet owawufika wawulibangise enkanjini. Ngisamuzwa ememeza, “Ngizoma khona lapha futhi yonke imicibisholo yethu izohamba.” Nkulunkulu wami! Lokho ama-megatons angu-150 eziqhumane zenuzi, kuyilapho i-Hiroshima yayicishe ibe ngama-kiloton ayi-15 (amathani ayi-15,000 e-TNT emandleni aqhuma). Zama amathani angu-1,000,000 e-TNT ngaleyo micibisholo yase-Ellsworth, izikhathi ezingu-150. Ngiqinisekile ukuthi uMkhuzi wayazi ukuthi uzoba yisithunzi ngokuphazima kweso uma i-nuke encane yobuhlakani ishayisa isisekelo. Isiphithiphithi singadala isiphepho somlilo yonke indlela eya e-Brookings nangale kwayo.
Kulinganiselwa ukuthi ososayensi e-Los Alamos kusukela ngemva nje kweMpi Yezwe II, ukuthi kuzothatha kuphela endaweni ye-10 kuya ku-100 yezinhlobo zezikhali zenuzi eziphethwe yi-US neRussia, ukubhubhisa yonke iplanethi. Leso isibalo esimangalisayo sibona ukuthi isilinganiso esisodwa yi-US ngo-2021 yayinezikhali zenuzi eziyi-3,750; 4,178 ne-UK ne-France. Kulinganiselwa ukuthi iRussia inokuningi, mhlawumbe okungama-6,000.
Akumangalisi futhi ukuthi ingxenye enkulu yomhlaba wonke ishaqekile ngalezi zibalo. Amazwe amaningi asayine isivumelwano seNhlangano Yezizwe esimemezela ukuthi izikhali zenuzi azikho emthethweni. Umbhalo wesivumelwano, owaqala ukusebenza ngemva kokusayinwa amazwe angamashumi amahlanu ngo-January 22, 2021, ufundeka kanje: “Kusukela manje, akukho emthethweni ukuba nezikhali zenuzi, ukuzithuthukisa, ukuzisebenzisa, ukuhlola, ukuzisebenzisa noma ukusongela ukuzisebenzisa. ”
I-US inike amandla amazwe amaningana ukuthi "asebenzise" izikhali zenuzi: i-Italy, iBelgium, iNetherlands neJalimane. Kusukela ekuhlaselweni kwe-Ukraine, iPoland ifuna ukufakwa, nakuba isivumelwano se-UN sikwenqabela ukudluliswa kwezikhali zenuzi futhi sinqabela abasayinileyo ekuvumeleni noma yikuphi ukuqhuma kwezikhali zenuzi ukuba kumiswe, kufakwe noma kusetshenziswe endaweni yabo.
I-Pentagon ibiza konke lokhu kuthunyelwa kwe-Europe ngokuthi "ukuvikela" izikhali zenuzi zaseshashalazini. Banezikhathi eziyi-11.3 kuphela amandla ebhomu laseHiroshima. Uma i-US ibikulungele ukubhekana ne-Armageddon ngenxa yosongo lwemicibisholo yaseRussia eCuba emuva kwesikhathi sikaKennedy, kufanele siqaphele ukuthi amaRussia angase azizwe enovalo mayelana nawo wonke lawo ma-nukes esiwabeke endaweni yawo.
Vele, alikho izwe lezikhali zenuzi elisayine kuSivumelwano se-UN futhi selokhu yadlula iRussia isabise ngokusebenzisa izikhali zenuzi futhi i-US isisondele ekuphenduleni. UMongameli usanda kumemezela: “Asikaze sibhekane nethemba le-Armageddon kusukela uKennedy kanye nenhlekelele yezikhali ezicitshwayo zaseCuba. Sinomfana engimazi kahle. Akadlali uma ekhuluma ngokusetshenziswa kwezikhali zenuzi ezinobuqili.”
Ngisho nangaphambi kokuba iRussia ihlasele i-Ukraine, i-Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists yaxwayisa ngokuthi umhlaba uhlezi “emnyango wenhlekelele.” Iwashi Losuku Lwembubhiso lisemizuzwana eyi-100 kuya phakathi kwamabili, okuyilona elisondele kakhulu “losuku lwenhlekelele” kusukela ekudalweni kwewashi ngo-1947.
Isicelo sesabelomali samasosha sika-2023 singama- $ 813.3 billion. U-$50.9 billion kulo mthethosivivinywa ubekelwe izikhali zenuzi. Ngo-2021, isabelomali esiphelele soMnyango Wezwe kanye ne-USAid sasiyizigidigidi ezingama-58.5. Ngokusobala, ukukhuluma, ukulalela, ukuxoxisana, ukulungisa ukungezwani kwethu nokusiza labo abahluphekayo, akubalulekile kakhulu “ekuvikelekeni” kwethu kunokuvuselela izinhlelo zethu zezikhali zenuzi. Njengoba uWendell Berry ebhala, “Kufanele siqaphele ukuthi nakuba siye sazixhasa ngokweqisa izindlela zempi, cishe siye sazishaya indiva ngokuphelele izindlela zokuthula.” Kuthiwani uma sibeka imali yethu lapho umlomo wethu ukhona, lapho sikhuluma ngokuthula?
I-MAD (Mutual Assured Destruction) bekuyinqubomgomo yethu yezikhali zenuzi manje isikhathi esiningi sokuphila kwami. Abanye bangasho ukuthi isivimbile e-Armagedoni. Ngokusobala, i-MAD ayizange ivimbe izimpi ezishisayo ezindaweni ezinjengeVietnam ne-Ukraine. I-MAD ayizange ivimbe ababusi abangogunyaziwe, ekhaya nakwamanye amazwe, ekuthumeleni umyalezo ocacile wokuthi izikhali zenuzi zamukelekile futhi ziyasebenziseka 'ekuzivikeleni kwazo;' ngisho nokusetshenziswa kokuqala. Ngokwami, i-MAD ayizange ivimbe lutho. Kimina, kungumusa kaNkulunkulu onothando kuphela osisindisile ekuzibhubhiseni.
UPapa uFrancis, ekhuluma njengoMongameli waseRussia uVladimir Putin exwayise amazwe aseNtshonalanga ukuthi akakhohlisi mayelana nokusebenzisa izikhali zenuzi, uthe ngoLwesithathu ukucabanga ngalesi senzo “kuwubuhlanya”. “Ukusetshenziswa kwamandla e-athomu ngezinjongo zempi namuhla, kunanini ngaphambili, kuyicala hhayi kuphela ngokumelene nesithunzi sabantu kodwa ngokumelene nanoma yiliphi ikusasa elingaba khona lekhaya lethu elivamile. Ukusetshenziswa kwamandla e-athomu ngenjongo yempi kuwukuziphatha okubi, njengoba nje nokuba nezikhali ze-athomu kuwukuziphatha okubi.”
Okubi kakhulu, ukulungiselela kanye nokusongela impi yenuzi kuwubugebengu obumelene nomoya wendalo nomdali. Kuyisimemo sokuya esihogweni emhlabeni; ukuvula umnyango kasathane osenyameni. Izikhali zenuzi kuye kwathiwa azinasimilo futhi azikho emthethweni. Manje yisikhathi sokuziqeda!
