I-Powerpoint lapha.
Siyabonga ngokusifaka. Ngemva kokukhuluma, World BEYOND War Umqondisi Wezemfundo uPhill Gittins uzoxoxa ngomsebenzi wokufundisa ongasisusa empini, futhi World BEYOND War Umhleli waseCanada uMaya Garfinkel uzoxoxa ngobushoshovu obungenalo ubudlova obungenza okufanayo. Ngale ndlela, ngingakhuluma nje ngengxenye elula, yingakho kufanele siqede impi.
Kuyingxenye elula nakakhulu uma impi ethile ingabusi kumathelevishini akho nemithombo yezindaba. Ngeke ngisho ngesikhathi sokuthula, ngoba amashumi eminyaka manje bekuhlale kunezimpi eziningi, imvamisa eziningi zazo ezibandakanya amasosha ase-US, njalo cishe zonke ezibandakanya izikhali zase-US - izikhali zase-US ezinhlangothini zombili. Kepha kwesinye isikhathi zonke izimpi zamanje zijoyina iphrojekthi yomphakathi enkulu kunazo zonke eqhubekayo e-US, uxhaso olukhulu oluqhubekayo kanye namalungiselelo empi, ekuhambeni esiteji. Futhi lezo zikhathi sizibiza ngokuthi izikhathi zokuthula. Abadla imifino phakathi kokudla bathanda ukuthula ngezikhathi zokuthula.
Njengesibonelo salokho okwenzekayo lapho ukhulumela ukuthula ngezikhathi zempi, umdwebi ohlakaniphile wase-Australia ogama lakhe linguPeter Seaton usanda kupenda umdwebo osesithombeni wesosha lase-Ukraine nesosha laseRussia ligona. Wayebuze abantu ngezinhlelo zakhe, kuhlanganise nabase-Ukraine bendawo, futhi babecabanga ukuthi kuzwakala kukuhle. Kodwa abanye abantu abafanayo bajoyine uhlobo oluphazamisayo lokucabanga lapho umdwebo osesithombeni usuphakanyisiwe, baze bafike bazitshela ukuthi bahlukumezekile, ingasaphathwa eyokucasuka. Kungenzeka kanjani ukuthi umdwebi, manje okusolakala ukuthi usebenzela eMoscow, aveze amasosha egona kuyilapho amasosha amabi aseRussia ebulala abantu base-Ukraine? Ngicabanga ukuthi akuzange kukhulunywe ngalokho amasosha ase-Ukraine akwenzayo. Njengomuntu othola nsuku zonke ama-imeyili athukuthele evikela izinhlangothi ezimbili ezihlukene zale mpi, ngingacabanga kalula abalandeli bohlangothi lwaseRussia becasuka besho ukucasuka kwabo ngokungalivezi isosha lase-Ukraine linquma uqhoqhoqho weRussia. Akucaci kimina ukuthi abantu abalungile baseMelbourne, abacasulwe ukwanga, babeyokuthola kumnandi ukukhombisa amasosha amabili egencana ngemimese. Cishe kunoma yiziphi izethameli, elinye lamasosha amabili kwakuzodingeka ligwaze elinye emhlane kuyilapho isisulu sibhalela unina inothi elihle. Manje lokho kuzoba ubuciko.
Yini esifike kuyo ukuthi sicasulwe ukwangana? Asifuni yini ukubuyisana? Asikufiseli yini ukuthula? Nakuba sonke sazi nge-Christmas Truces ye-WWI kanye nezigameko ezifanayo, kuyilapho sonke singacabanga ngokujwayelekile amasosha njengezisulu zezikhulu eziphezulu zikahulumeni, kufanele sigcine imicabango enjalo kuzo zonke izimpi ngokujwayelekile, hhayi ngempi yamanje ngesikhathi. isigaba esingcwele nesinhle sobudemoni esiphila kuso futhi siphefumula inzondo yethu ngomholi nabo bonke abasekeli bolunye uhlangothi, noma yiluphi uhlangothi olunjalo. Nginabangane beminyaka eminingi, okuhlanganisa nabaphathi bemisakazo ongaya ukuyobalalela, bangithethise ngokuthi ngingafuna ukuthi uPutin abulawe ngokushesha noma ngivume ukuthi ngisebenzela uPutin. Ngibe nabanye abangani iminyaka eminingi bengisola ngokusebenzela i-NATO. Laba bonke abantu abangahlangana ukulwa nempi yase-Iraq okungenani lapho leyo mpi ikhonjwa nomongameli wase-US we-Republican Party.
Ngenxa yokuthi ukuphikisana nezinhlangothi zombili zempi kuvame ukuqondwa njengokusekela noma yiluphi uhlangothi omunye umuntu oluphikisayo, ngiye ngathatha ukuhogela ngokujulile futhi ngafiphaza umusho olandelayo wokugijima:
Ngiphikisana nakho konke ukubulawa nokucekelwa phansi okubi e-Ukraine, ngiwazi ngokuphelele umlando we-imperialism waseRussia kanye neqiniso lokuthi ukwanda kwe-NATO okubikezelwe futhi ngamabomu kwaholela kule mpi, nginengeka ukuthi izishoshovu zokuthula eRussia zivaliwe, futhi ziyagula ukuthi azinakwa kangako e-US ukuthi ayidingeki ngaphandle kwabashaya izimpimpi abasezingeni eliphezulu - futhi ngibambe lezi zikhundla ezixakile kuyilapho empeleni ngingahlushwa ukungazi kahle umlando weMpi Yomshoshaphansi noma ukunwetshwa kwe-NATO noma ukubanjwa kwe-US. abathengisi bezikhali e-US uhulumeni noma isimo se-US uhulumeni njengomthengisi wezikhali ophambili, umgqugquzeli ophambili wezempi kwabanye ohulumeni, umakhi wesisekelo sakwamanye amazwe ophambili, umshoshozeli wempi ophezulu, umgqugquzeli ophezulu wokuvukela umbuso, futhi yebo, ngiyabonga, ngizwile ngamahlanya alungile e-Ukraine kanye nohulumeni waseRussia futhi Amasosha, angizange ngikhethe eyodwa kwamabili ukuthi ngifune ukubulala abantu noma ukwengamela izikhali zenuzi noma izindawo zokuphehla amandla ngesikhathi sezimpi, futhi ngiyaguliswa yikho konke ukubulawa kwabantu amasosha aseRussia ahileleke kukho, noma ngingakwazi ukuqonda. kungani amaqembu amalungelo abantu kufanele abe namahloni ngokubika ngonya olwenziwa amasosha ase-Ukraine, futhi ngiyazi ukuthi i-US ingakanani
Kodwa-ke, sibeka umdwebo we-hug, owehliswa eMelbourne, phezulu ezindongeni nasemabhilidini nasemabhodini nezimpawu zasegcekeni emhlabeni jikelele.
At World BEYOND War sidale iwebhusayithi ekhuluma ngamasethi amane ezinganekwane ezivamile ekusekelweni kwempi: leyo mpi ingaba yinto engenakugwemeka, ithethelelwe, idingeke, noma izuze.
Iningi labantu liphila ngaphandle kwempi futhi alikaze lihlupheke ngenxa yokuswela impi. Umlando omningi wabantu nomlando wangaphambili awunazo impi. Iningi lezimpi emlandweni akufani neze nempi namuhla. Izizwe ziye zasebenzisa impi amakhulu eminyaka futhi azange zisebenzise impi amakhulu eminyaka. Iningi labahlanganyeli kanye nezisulu zempi bahlushwa yikho. I-Just War theory iwumbhedo wenkathi ephakathi owenziwe abantu abazama ukuvumelanisa i-imperialism, i-pacifism, inkolelo yokuthi amaqaba awalutho, kanye nenkolelo yokuthi abantu abalungile bangcono uma bebulawa. Izimpi ziqondiswa ngokucophelela nangokuzikhandla, amandla amakhulu azovikela ukuthula. Ayikho neyodwa impi yosizo esike yazuzisa isintu. Impi idinga amalungiselelo amakhulu kanye nesinqumo esinengqondo. Ayivunguzi emhlabeni wonke njengesimo sezulu noma isifo. Buduze nendlu yami kunemidondoshiya emikhulu ngaphansi kwamagquma lapho izingxenye ezahlukene zikahulumeni wase-US kufanele zicashe khona ngemva kokunikezwa isixwayiso samahora ambalwa sokuthi othile unqume ukudala i-apocalypse yenuzi. Kukhona ezinye izindlela zokulungiselela umhlaba impi, futhi kunezinye izindlela zokusebenzisa impi ngesikhathi sokuhlaselwa ngomunye umuntu esebenzisa impi. Eqinisweni kuyenzeka ukuthi kumiswe ukuhlomisa umhlaba, ukusekela umthetho nokubambisana, nokulungiselela amasu okuvikela angahlomile.
Ngezenzo ezihleliwe ezingenalo udlame, imisebenzi iye yaqedwa ezindaweni ezifana neLebanon, Germany, Estonia, kanye neBougainville. Ukuketula umbuso kumisiwe ezindaweni ezifana ne-Algeria neJalimane, omashiqela abaketulwa ezindaweni ezifana ne-El Salvador, Tunisia, ne-Serbia, ukuthathwa kwezikhali yizinkampani ezivinjwe ezindaweni ezifana ne-Ecuador neCanada, izizinda zamasosha akwamanye amazwe zaxoshwa ezindaweni ezifana ne-Ecuador nePhilippines.
Bheka WorldBEYONDWar.org ukuze uthole incazelo yawo wonke la maphuzu aphikisa izinganekwane zempi. Yebo sifaka imiqulu emikhulu yezinto nge-WWII, engibhale kuyo incwadi ebizwa ngokuthi Ukushiya Impi Yezwe Yesibili Ngemuva, futhi senze isifundo se-inthanethi ngesihloko. Kungase kube nengqondo ukubuka ifilimu entsha e-US kanye NokuQothulwa Kwesizwe ka-Ken Burns et alia, kodwa nasi isibikezelo sami: Le filimu izoba qotho ngendlela emangalisayo kodwa isuse icala ngobuqili e-US nabanye ohulumeni nakubantu abavamile. yeka imizamo yezishoshovu zokuthula ukuze enze ohulumeni base-US nabase-UK bathathe isinyathelo, kuzokwengeza ukuthi bekungaba nzima kangakanani kubo ukwenza kanjalo, futhi bazovikela impi njengoba ifaneleka ngokuphelele ngenxa yezizathu ngaphandle kwesizathu esithandwa yibo bonke (manje esidabuliwe ifilimu). Ngethemba ukuthi kungcono kunalokho; kungaba kubi kakhulu.
Nakuba kusamele kube nempi engagujwa ngokucacile njengevikelekile ngokokuziphatha kunoma yiluphi uhlangothi, kunokuthambekela okukhulu kokucabanga eyodwa, nokutshala izinsiza ezanele zokuguqula umhlaba ngokuphelele (ngiqonde ukuqeda ukucekelwa phansi kwemvelo, ubumpofu, kanye ukungabi nakhaya) ekulungiseleleni impi enhle ecatshangelwayo. Kodwa uma empeleni bekukhona impi eyenza okuhle kakhulu kunokulimaza, ibingeke yenze okuhle okwanele ukwedlula ukugcina isikhungo sempi, amabutho amile, izisekelo, imikhumbi, izindiza ezizungeze zilinde impi elungile ukuthi ifike. Lokhu kunjalo, kokubili ngoba ukulungela kwezempi kudala izimpi, iningi lazo okungekho muntu ozama ukuzivikela njengezilungile, futhi futhi ngenxa yokuthi isikhungo sempi sibulala ngaphezu kwezimpi, ngokucekelwa phansi kwemvelo, ukugqugquzela ubandlululo, ukuguguleka kwayo kokubusa. umthetho, ukulungisiswa kwawo kwemfihlo ekubuseni, futhi ikakhulukazi ngokuphambukisa kwawo izinsiza ezidingweni zabantu. Amaphesenti amathathu nje kuphela emali esetshenziswa ezempi yase-US angaqeda indlala emhlabeni. Ibutho lezempi okokuqala nokubaluleke kakhulu liwukusebenzisa imali ngendlela engaqondakali, ingxenye yayo engaguqula noma yiliphi inani lamaphrojekthi adingeka ngokushesha emhlabeni wonke, uma imbulunga ingaletha ukubambisana ezintweni, isithiyo esikhulu kunazo zonke okuyimpi kanye namalungiselelo impi.
Ngakho-ke, siphinde safaka kuwebhusayithi ethi worldbeyondwar.org izixhumanisi zezizathu zokuqeda impi, okuhlanganisa: Kuwukuziphatha okubi, kubeka engozini, kuqeda inkululeko, kugqugquzela ubandlululo, kumosha ama- $ 2 trillion ngonyaka, kusongela imvelo, kusenza sibe mpofu, futhi zikhona ezinye izindlela. Ngakho-ke, izindaba ezimbi ukuthi impi ichitha konke ekuthintayo futhi ithinta i-darn eduze nayo yonke into. Izindaba ezinhle ukuthi uma singabona amafulegi nenkulumo-ze, singakha umfelandawonye omkhulu we-darn eduze kwawo wonke umuntu - okuhlanganisa ngisho neningi labantu abenza izikhali, abangajabula futhi benze kangcono eminye imisebenzi.
Umphumela odabukisayo wokugxila kwabezindaba empini ukuthula kwezinye izimpi. Kuncane esikuzwayo mayelana nokuhlupheka nendlala e-Afghanistan ngenkathi uhulumeni wase-US eba imali yalabo bantu. Asizwa lutho ngesifo esiqhubekayo kanye nendlala e-Yemen ngenkathi i-US Congress yenqaba ukwenza lokho eyayizenza ukusiza i-Yemen eminyakeni emithathu edlule, okuwukuvota ukuqeda impi. Ngifuna ukuqeda ngokugxila kulokho ngoba izimpilo eziningi zisesilinganisweni futhi ngenxa yokuthi isibonelo seCongress yaseMelika empeleni ukuqeda impi kunganikeza umfutho omkhulu emikhankasweni yokufuna ukuthi iqede abanye.
Naphezu kwezithembiso zomkhankaso, i-Biden Administration kanye neCongress bagcina izikhali zigelezela eSaudi Arabia, futhi bagcine amasosha ase-US ebamba iqhaza empini yaseYemen. Yize zombili izindlu zeCongress zivotele ukuqeda ukubamba iqhaza kwe-US empini lapho uTrump ethembise i-veto, akukho ndlu eke yabamba inkulumo-mpikiswano noma ivoti onyakeni nesigamu selokhu uTrump ahamba edolobheni. Isinqumo seNdlu, i-HJRes87, sinabaxhasi abangu-113 - abaningi kunalabo abake batholakala ngesinqumo esiphasiswe futhi saphikiswa nguTrump - kuyilapho i-SJRes56 eSenate inabaxhasi abayisi-7. Nokho awekho amavoti abanjwayo, ngoba i-Congressional ebizwa ngokuthi “ubuholi” ikhetha ukungakwenzi, futhi ngenxa yokuthi AKUKHO ILUNGU ELILODWA LeNdlu noma leSigele elingatholakala elizimisele ukuliphoqelela.
Akukaze kube yimfihlo, ukuthi impi “eholwa yiSaudi” incike kakhulu embuthweni wamasosha ase-US (ingasaphathwa izikhali zase-US) okwakuyi-US ukuthi iyeke ukuhlinzeka ngezikhali noma iphoqelele amasosha ayo ukuthi ayeke ukwephula yonke imithetho ephikisana nawo. impi, ungalokothi ucabange uMthethosisekelo wase-US, noma kokubili, impi izophela. Impi yaseSaudi-US e-Yemen ibulale abantu abaningi kunempi yase-Ukraine kuze kube manje, futhi ukufa nokuhlupheka kuyaqhubeka naphezu kwesivumelwano sesikhashana, esihlulekile ukuvula imigwaqo noma amachweba; indlala (engase ibhebhethekiswe impi yase-Ukraine) isasongela izigidi. I-CNN ibika ukuthi, “Ngenkathi abaningi emphakathini wamazwe ngamazwe begubha [isivumelwano], eminye imindeni eYemen isala ibukele izingane zayo zifa kancane kancane. Balinganiselwa ku-30,000 abantu abanezifo ezibeka impilo yabo engcupheni abadinga ukwelashwa phesheya, ngokusho kukahulumeni ophethwe ngamaHouthi enhlokodolobha i-Sanaa. Abangaba ngu-5,000 XNUMX kubo bayizingane. "Izinkulumo ezinogqozi zamaSenator nabameleli abafuna ukuthi impi iphele bebe bazi ukuthi bangathembela ku-veto evela kuTrump zishabalele phakathi neminyaka yeBiden ikakhulukazi ngoba Iphathi ibaluleke kakhulu kunempilo yabantu.
Manje, ngicabanga ukuthi ngiphambuke kukho kokubili imfundo kanye nobushoshovu, kodwa ngithemba ukuthi ngeke ngidlulele kulokho uPhill noMaya abazoxoxa ngakho. Ngifuna ukuqaphela ukuthi kulabo abathambekele ekwenzeni izimpikiswano ezibaluleke kakhulu zokuthi kungani singenakuqeda yonke impi, kuzoba nomuntu ozokwenza lokho engxoxweni nami ezinsukwini ezimbili kusukela manje, futhi ungayibuka ku-inthanethi futhi uphakamise imibuzo umongameli. Yithole ku-WorldBEYONDWar.org. Futhi, ngibheke phambili emibuzweni eminingi yami, uPhill, noMaya, ngemva kwezethulo zethu.
