Noma ngubani okhathalele imvelo yethu yemvelo kufanele amake ngokudabukisa okukhulu ikhulu leminyaka leMpi Yezwe I. Ngaphandle kokubhujiswa okumangazayo ezinkundleni zempi zaseYurophu, ukuvuna okukhulu kwamahlathi, kanye nokugxila okusha kumafutha wezinto ezimbiwa eMiddle East, iMpi Enkulu kwakuyiMpi Yamakhemikhali. Ugesi onoshevu waba yisikhali - esingasetshenziswa ukulwa nezinhlobo eziningi zokuphila.
Ama-insecticide akhiqizwa eceleni kwamagesi ezinzwa nasezakhiweni zeziqhumane. IMpi Yezwe II - le ndlela eyalandelwa yenziwa cishe ayinakugwenywa ngendlela yokuqeda eyokuqala - yakhiqizwa, phakathi kwezinye izinto, amabhomu enuzi, i-DDT, nolimi oluvamile lokuxoxa ngazo zombili - ingasaphathwa eyamabhanoyi okuletha zombili.
Abasabalalisi bezimpi benza ukubulala kube lula ngokuveza abantu bakwamanye amazwe njengezimbungulu. Abathengisi bezibulala-zinambuzane benza ukuthenga ubuthi babo ngokuthanda izwe ngokusebenzisa ulimi lwempi ukuchaza "ukuqothulwa" kwezinambuzane "ezihlaselayo" (ungakhathazeki ukuthi ngubani ngempela owayekhona kuqala). I-DDT yenziwa ukuthi itholakale esidlangalaleni ezinsukwini ezinhlanu ngaphambi kokuba iMelika ilahle ibhomu eHiroshima. Esikhumbuzweni sokuqala sebhomu, kwavela isithombe esigcwele ikhasi lefu lamakhowe esikhangisweni se-DDT.
Impi kanye nokubhujiswa kwemvelo akugcini ngokuhlangana ngendlela okucatshangwa nokuthi kukhulunywa ngayo ngayo. Abagcini nje ngokukhuthazana ngemibono eqinisa ngokubambisana ye-machismo nokubusa. Ukuxhumeka kujule kakhulu futhi kuqonde ngokwengeziwe. Impi nokulungiselela impi, kufaka phakathi ukuhlolwa kwezikhali, nakho kuphakathi kwababhubhisi abakhulu bemvelo yethu. Umbutho wezempi wase-US ungumthengi ohamba phambili wezinsalela. Kusukela ngoMashi 2003 kuya kuDisemba 2007 impi eyayilwa e-Iraq kuphela ikhishwe ngaphezulu i-CO2 kune-60% yazo zonke izizwe.
Imvamisa siyabonga ukuthi izimpi zilwelwa kangakanani ekulawuleni izinsizakusetshenziswa esizosibhubhisa. Okungajwayelekile kakhulu ukuthi siyalazisa izinga lapho ukusetshenziswa lokho kuqhutshwa khona yizimpi. I-Confederate Army yenyuka yaya eGettysburg ifuna ukudla ukuze izibasele. (USherman ushise iNingizimu, njengoba ebulala iNyathi, ukubangela indlala - ngenkathi iNyakatho ixhaphaza umhlaba wayo ukubhebhethekisa impi.) I-British Navy yafuna ukulawula uwoyela kuqala njengophethiloli wemikhumbi ye-British Navy, hhayi eminye enye injongo. AmaNazi aya empumalanga, phakathi kwezinye izizathu eziningana, ngamahlathi azothuthukisa ngawo impi yawo. Ukuqedwa kwamahlathi ezindaweni ezishisayo okwenzeka phakathi neMpi Yezwe II kwashesha kuphela ngesikhathi sempi yaphakade eyalandela.
Izimpi eminyakeni yamuva nje zenze izindawo ezinkulu zingahlali abantu futhi zaveza amashumi ezigidi zababaleki. Mhlawumbe izikhali ezibulala kakhulu ezishiywe izimpi ngamabhomu agqitshwayo namabhomu eqoqo. Amashumi ezigidi zabo alinganiselwa ukuthi abalele emhlabeni. Ukusebenza kweSoviet ne-US e-Afghanistan kucekele phansi noma konakalisa izinkulungwane zamadolobhana nemithombo yamanzi. AmaTaliban adayise ngokungekho emthethweni izingodo ePakistan, okuholele ekuqothulweni kwamahlathi okuphawulekayo. Amabhomu aseMelika nababaleki abadinga izinkuni bangeze kulo monakalo. Amahlathi ase-Afghanistan acishe aphela. Iningi lezinyoni ezifudukayo ebezidlula e-Afghanistan azisenzi kanjalo. Umoya wayo namanzi kufakwe ubuthi ngeziqhumane nama-rocket propellants.
I-United States ilwa izimpi zayo futhi ivivinya nezikhali zayo kude nasogwini lwayo, kepha isalokhu ihlonishwa izindawo zezinhlekelele zemvelo nezindawo zokubuyiselwa kwemali ezakhiwe ngamasosha ayo. Inkinga yezemvelo ithathe ubukhulu obukhulu, ifihla ngokumangazayo izingozi ezikhiqizwayo eziphikisana nokuphikisana kukaHillary Clinton kokuthi uVladimir Putin unguHitler omusha noma ukuzenzisa okuvamile eWashington, DC, ukuthi i-Iran yakha izinduna noma ukuthi ukubulala abantu ngama-drones kuyasenza kuphephe kunokuzonda kakhulu. Futhi nokho, unyaka nonyaka, i-EPA isebenzisa amaRandi ayizigidi ezingama-622 izama ukuthola ukuthi angawakhiqiza kanjani amandla ngaphandle kukawoyela, ngenkathi ezempi zisebenzisa amakhulu izigidigidi ama-dollar atshisayo ekulweni ukulwa nemishini. Amadola ayizigidi ezilondolozwe ukugcina isosha ngalinye emsebenzini wangaphandle unyaka angakha imisebenzi ye-20 green energy ku-$ 50,000 ngayinye. I $ 1 trillion esetshenziswa yi-United States ngokulwa nempi ngonyaka, kanti i-$ 1 trillion esetshenziswe yilo lonke izwe elihlangene, lingakhokhisa ukuguqulwa kokuphila okusimeme ngaphezu kwamaphupho ethu amakhulu kakhulu. Ngisho ne-10% yawo ingaba.
Lapho kuphela iMpi Yezwe I, akuvelanga nje kuphela ukuthi kube nenhlangano enkulu yokuthula, kepha yayihambisana nenhlangano yokulondolozwa kwezilwane zasendle. Kulezi zinsuku, leyo minyakazo emibili ibonakala ihlukene phakathi futhi yanqotshwa. Kanye enyangeni eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka izindlela zabo ziyawela, njengoba amaqembu ezemvelo encengwa ukuthi aphikise ukuthathwa komhlaba noma ukwakhiwa kwesisekelo samasosha, njengoba kwenzekile ezinyangeni ezedlule ngeminyakazo yokuvimbela i-US neSouth Korea ukuthi bakhe isikhungo esikhulu semikhumbi eJeju Isiqhingi, nokuvikela i-US Marine Corps ekuguquleni iPagan Island eNyakatho Mariana ibe uhla lwamabhomu. Kepha zama ukucela iqembu lezemvelo elixhaswe kahle ukuthi lifune ukuthi kudluliswe izinsiza zomphakathi kusuka ebusosheni kuya ekuhlanzeni amandla noma ukongiwa kwemvelo futhi kungenzeka ukuthi uzama ukubhekana nefu legesi enobuthi.
Ngiyajabula ukuba yingxenye yenhlangano esanda kuqala kuyo WorldBeyondWar.org, esivele inabantu ababamba iqhaza emazweni angama-57, efuna ukubuyisela utshalomali lwethu olukhulu empini ngokutshala imali okukhulu ekuvikeleni umhlaba. Ngisola ukuthi izinhlangano ezinkulu zemvelo zingathola ukuxhaswa okukhulu ngalolu hlelo uma kungukuthi zihlole amalungu azo.
