Phakathi neMpi Yezwe Yesibili, Ibutho Lezempi Lase-US lasebenzisa umhlaba manje oseyingxenye yekhempasi lapha e-American University ukuze akhe futhi ahlole izikhali zamakhemikhali. Labe seligqiba lokho uKarl Rove okungenzeka wakubiza ngokuthi izinqwaba ezinkulu zamasheya ngaphansi komhlaba, zashiya, futhi zakhohlwa ngazo, kwaze kwaba yilapho ithimba labakhi lembula lokho ngo-1993. Indawo eyodwa amasosha asebenzisa isisi esikhalisa izinyembezi kwakungomakadebona bawo lapho bebuyela e-DC bezofuna amabhonasi. Khona-ke, phakathi nempi yezwe yesibili, amasosha ase-United States alahla inqwaba yezikhali zamakhemikhali olwandle i-Atlantic nePacific. Ngo-1943 amabhomu aseJalimane acwilisa umkhumbi wase-US e-Bari, e-Italy, owawuthwele ngasese amakhilogremu ayizigidi zegesi yesinaphi. Abaningi bamatilosi baseMelika babulawa ushevu, i-United States eyathi bewusebenzisa njengesivimbeli, noma ngingacabangi ukuthi kwake kwachaza ukuthi into ethile ivimba kanjani ngenkathi iyimfihlo. Lowo mkhumbi kulindeleke ukuthi ulokhu uvuzela igesi olwandle amakhulu eminyaka. Phakathi naleso sikhathi i-United States neJapane bashiye imikhumbi engaphezu kuka-1,000 XNUMX phansi ePacific, kuhlanganise namathangi kaphethiloli.
Ngikhuluma ngobuthi bezempi endaweni eseduze hhayi njengento engavamile, kodwa njengento evamile. Kunezindawo eziyisithupha ze-Superfund ezifaka ubuthi emfuleni i-Potomac, njengoba uPat Elder ephawulile, nakho konke kusuka ku-Acetone, Alkaline, Arsenic, ne-Anthrax kuya kuVinyl Chloride, Xlene, neZinc. Zonke iziza eziyisithupha ziyizisekelo zamasosha ase-US. Eqinisweni, amaphesenti angama-69 ezindawo zezinhlekelele zemvelo zeSuperfund ezungeze i-United States angamasosha ase-US. Futhi leli yizwe okuthiwa lenzela “inkonzo” ethile. Okwenziwa amasosha ase-US namanye amasosha emhlabeni wonke akuqondakali noma okungenani akuqondwa.
Amasosha ase-US angabathengi abaphezulu be-petroleum nxazonke, ashisa ngaphezu kwamazwe amaningi. Cishe ngizokweqa uhambo oluzayo lwe-US Army 10-miler e-DC lapho abantu bazobe "Ugijimela Amanzi Ahlanzekile" - amanzi e-Uganda. Ngengxenyana yalokho iCongress esanda kwandisa ukusetshenziswa kwezempi yase-US ngakho, singaqeda ukuntuleka kwamanzi ahlanzekile yonke indawo emhlabeni. Futhi noma yimuphi umjaho e-DC bekungcono uhlale kude nemifula uma ungafuni ukuhlangana nalokho okwenziwa yi-US Army emanzini.
Okwenziwa amalungiselelo empi nempi emhlabeni bekulokhu kuyisihloko esinzima ukuthola. Kungani labo abakhathalela umhlaba bengafuna ukuthatha isikhungo esithandekayo nesikhuthazayo esisilethele iVietnam, i-Iraq, indlala e-Yemen, ukuhlukunyezwa eGuantanamo, kanye neminyaka engu-16 yokubulala okunyantisayo e-Afghanistan - ingasaphathwa eyokukhuluma kahle kukaMongameli. Donald J. Trump? Futhi kungani labo abamelene nokubulawa kwabantu abaningi befuna ukushintsha isihloko sokugawulwa kwamahlathi nemifudlana enobuthi nokuthi yiziphi izikhali zenuzi ezizenzayo emhlabeni?
Kodwa iqiniso liwukuthi ukube impi ibingokokuziphatha, engokomthetho, yokuzivikela, inenzuzo ekusakazweni kwenkululeko, futhi ingabizi, besiyophoqeleka ukuthi siyiqede kube yinto ehamba phambili yethu kuphela ngenxa yokucekelwa phansi impi namalungiselelo empi akwenzayo njengokuholayo. abangcolisa indawo yethu yemvelo.
Ngenkathi ukuguqulela ezindleleni ezisimeme kungazikhokhela ukonga ukunakekelwa kwezempilo, izimali ongakwenza ngazo zikhona, izikhathi eziningi, kusabelomali sezempi sase-US. Uhlelo olulodwa lwendiza, i-F-35, lungakhanselwa futhi izimali zisetshenziswe ukuguqula yonke imizi e-United States ibe amandla okuhlanza.
Ngeke sisisindise isimo sezulu somhlaba njengabantu ngabanye. Sidinga imizamo ehlelekile yomhlaba wonke. Indawo kuphela lapho izinsiza zingatholakala khona kusezempi. Umcebo wezigidigidi awuqali ngisho ukuphikisana nawo. Futhi ukuyisusa kwezempi, ngisho ngaphandle kokwenza noma yini enye ngayo, kuyinto eyodwa engcono kakhulu esingayenzela umhlaba.
Ubuhlanya besiko lempi buye benza abanye abantu bacabange ngempi yenuzi elinganiselwe, kuyilapho ososayensi bethi i-nuke eyodwa ingacindezela ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu ngaphezu kwalo lonke ithemba, futhi abambalwa bangasibulala indlala. Isiko lokuthula nokusimama liyimpendulo.
Umkhankaso wangaphambi komongameli uDonald Trump usayine incwadi enyatheliswa ngoDisemba 6, 2009, ekhasini 8 New York Times, incwadi eya kuMongameli Obama obizwa ngokuthi ushintsho lwemozulu inselele esheshayo. "Ngicela ungahlehliseli umhlaba," kusho. "Uma sihluleka ukwenza isinyathelo manje, kusenakuphikiswa kwesayensi ukuthi kuyoba nemiphumela emibi futhi engenakuphulukiswa ebantwini naseplanethi yethu."
Phakathi kwemiphakathi eyamukelayo noma ekhuthaza ukwakhiwa kwezimpi, leyo miphumela yokucekelwa phansi kwemvelo cishe izohlanganisa ukwakhiwa kwezimpi ezengeziwe. Kuyiqiniso ukuthi kungamanga futhi kuyazilimaza ukuphakamisa ukuthi ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu kumane kubangele impi ngaphandle kwanoma iyiphi inhlangano yabantu. Akukho ukuhlobana phakathi kokushoda kwezinsiza kanye nempi, noma ukucekelwa phansi kwemvelo kanye nempi. Kukhona nokho ukuhlobana phakathi kokwamukela impi nempi ngokwesiko. Futhi lo mhlaba, futhi ikakhulukazi izingxenye ezithile zawo, kuhlanganise ne-United States, iyamukela impi kakhulu - njengoba kubonakala enkolelweni yokungagwemeki kwayo.
Izimpi ezidala ukubhujiswa kwezemvelo kanye nokufuduka kwabantu abaningi, okwenza izimpi eziningi, ukudala ukubhujiswa okuqhubekayo kuyisiyaluyalu esiyingozi okufanele siyiqede ngokuvikela imvelo nokuqeda impi.
