Can you post transcripts for every Chomsky video including this one. He knows so much about foreign affairs and policy that you have to have the transcript to verify it and research further on the individual events/topics/conflicts.
LOL, Ukraine has proven that they can lose to just Wagner. Russia says their goal the the Russian speaking areas and demilitarization through a war of attrition. If it was a full scale war, there Ukraine's NATO style army would be wipe out within days.
@@mariaadelecagna3540 - when You're right You're right , Chomski's blatant 'onesidedness' is Not Putin's fault - the war INSIDE Ukraine howevver , a couple of hundred dead and/or maimed CHILDREN are most-fuc.... certainly NOT Zelenski's "fault"
People in comments saying Chomsky is some kind of Putin apologist. Did we watch the same video? He explicitly condemns "Putin's war of aggression", says there's no justification for it, and that the US should be helping Ukraine defend itself. He's repeatedly called Putin a brutal dictator.
Him calling it a proxy war by the US is more than enough to designate him a pathetic fraud. What a fucking ridiculous thing to say. Just because the US is involved doesn't automatically make it bad.
Yep… trying to expand NATO to Georgia and Ukraine, despite the warnings (2008) from France (Sarkozy) and Germany (Merkel) that this was a terrible idea, was a big fat mistake.
You are not the government, and the government is not the country. But you can only have a government for the people if they are perpetually pushed from below
@@javiermiranda5769 Oh yes, of course- It’s not the aggressor’s fault. The Ukrainians should’ve sat back and let Putin’s tanks roll in. Poor ol’ Putin, meant no harm by it. Lets blame ourselves while his thuggish mercenaries and brutal military rampage. How silly of me, how naive of the Ukrainians. Remember that - if your country ever faces a massive invading force bombing its infrastructure and murdering its civilians.
As you over look, that the party that you support has come to be in a coup d'é·tat and the EASTERN PART HAS BEEN IN REVOLT SINCE 2014. Ukraine has been at war in the east since 2014 and instead of their Army, they send 'volunteers' from their west, promising them land in the east. There are no heroes here.
What would the US do if China persuaded Mexico to become a member of a China-Russia-India military organization? It would blow Mexico to dust. But to you only Russia is evil.
@@tozrimondher4250 No, but he is stuck in a time frame (post ww2 era) and are basically not keeping up with the world anymore. Chomsky has been a very important person, and his criticism of the US foreign affairs(during 1960-2000s) is hugely important and well put. BUT what he says on the Ukraine topic is just embarrassing, it's totally out of touch with what actually is happening in Russia in regards to their own population and the war happening in Ukraine.
@@tozrimondher4250 The thing is that not everything happening in the world is about the US. The war in Ukraine is purely about Russian imperialism. In this context, Chomsky's whataboutism comes across as justifying Russian aggression.

The only winners in any war are those who remain alive and in reasonable health at the end. The losers are the thousands or millions whose lives are lost or otherwise destroyed due injury, displacement, destruction of homes, means of earning a living and just the sheer trauma of war and it's effects on people. My parents both went through the second world war. Both were very deaf in old age; my mother perhaps from the bombing of her hometown...my father perhaps from being transported around the world in noisy ships/perhaps sometimes being close to artillery too( he was in Royal Signals, so didn't actually participate in the fighting, but was at times fairly close to front lines.). My father informed me that disease (through living in unsanitary conditions, unfamiliar tropical diseases..much dysentery) killed as many as those lost on the battlefield. This is the human cost of gaining a temporary economic advantage of resources/territory. Meantime, humans are ultimately destrying their own ecological niche and heading for self-extinction.
A lot of countries did not fight the Nazis and then were killed and/or their nations bombed anyway. It would have been better to stand up to Hitler together earlier. Less destruction and loss of life.
This very common statement about "nobody winning a war" is flawed. Most of those who actually fight it are losers in many ways but they are not fighting for themselves they are fighting for the billions of people who come after them in freedom. You are I are the winners of the 2nd World War as we live in a free world where we can post what we wish on RU-vid. The Ukrainian soldier likewise is fighting for the billions of Ukrainians who will come after.
@@jamesgo2014 Doz100 didn't make an argument. He attempted to put words in my mouth. I used the word "aggressor" because that's what I meant. I don't presume every nation state that opposes US hegemony is an enemy. If he does, then that's his problem; but don't try to strawman me.
In fact it would be easy, he left it as an open question: For how long is Europe going to take this? “Western” Europe, at least, I would point out (Eastern and Northern are gone for the moment). He mentioned Germany and Netherlands, I would add Italy, France and perhaps Spain. Without these countries’ cronyism US would be reduced in time to a regional power.
Listened to the first few sentences Chomsky had to say and gave up on him. Iraq is Iraq, the US did harm there to put it mildly. But it has ZERO to do with the need to halt Russian expansionism in Europe. If his first comment about Ukraine is a comment about Iraq you know he's lost the plot.
Oh yes,Russia is so small that must go in Europe,in Bosnia,Kosovo etc. No body didnt talk about that shit of nato will come to payment,if you can attack Serbia,and cut Serbia"s part like Kosovo,why Russia cant do same thing in Ukraina?I saw hundred times when hundred people from around the world talk about that,but youin nato cant see this?We see.
Chomsky showing once again that he is not remotely as intelligent as he thinks he is while also showing his true colours as a tankie once more. If this genocidal war of aggression results in the collapse of Russia at least something good will have come out of it.
The question needs to be asked…when is enough enough?How much wealth and power is actually needed.Unfortunately it’s the good little people who always suffer.
Capitalism is the very definition of cancer. Cancer happen when cells keep multiplying in a finite system (your body) and some cells are malformed due to constant growth in their number. Capitalism expects constant growth in a finite system (earth) and is bad for long term sustainability. It doesn't care about sustainability. Result, death.
I mean, we know very well that Mexico would absolute look for a protector, if they were next to an agressor like Russia. Your theory has so many holes, its not even funny.
You are an imperialist, this is so clear. Imperialists never see any point from their adversaries. They are always right and their enemies are always wrong.
One of the major differences I have with Chomsky is he fundamentally believes people are intelligent, I don't. They traded it all for just a little bit more......
Not at all. He's counting on people to be dumb and believe the disinformation he's helping spread, literally from Imperial Russia disinformation propaganda roadbook, copy-paste. Not one original idea, it's all copy-paste from Dugin&friends.
“The war must continue in order to severely weaken Russia. That remains US policy.” No, the policy is to get Russia out of Ukraine. That is also NATO policy, and it is Ukrainian policy. To frame this as simply a plot to weaken Russia, is to reduce Ukrainian aspirations to zero.
@@Dennis-nc3vw Yeah, gotta agree with you there. I really don't understand why the guy doesn't just retire. I'm sure he's smart enough to have saved enough money for retirement... oh wait ... maybe not?
Including his much beloved analysis of Skinner's "Verbal Behavior", Chomsky sometimes displays biased and superficial reasoning. "Si hay gubierno, soy contra" - si hay establishment, soy contra... This is not to deny that Western powers have also committed horrible atrocities, and that Western powers did also have a role in the development of Putin's paranoia. But reality is more complex than Chomsky`s explanations.
The US attacked everybody. Putin had no choice but to murder all those people because they were American stooges. Every single one of them. Capitalism is bad, but sometimes it is useful to know someone like Jeffrey Epstein because he helps you move money around.
There are countries that chose to vilify NATO as the aggressor and a tool of American hegemony. This view is in total disregard for the many years that Russia has threatened Eastern Europe. Russia spreads terrorism to other parts of the world through a private army that sells its services to despotic regimes. World leaders that sympathize with Russia tend to share the fascist vision of Russia. I don't like American hegemony, but I take the view that it exists out of fear. The existence of an aggressive fascist oligarchy like Russia no doubt encourages nation states to very conscious of their national security, and in many cases, pushes them into the orbit of the United States. If a world leader was truly concerned about American hegemony, they would welcome the collapse of the Russian state. Without Russia, American hegemony will gradually come apart, and I would suspect that smaller fascist states might find it in their interest to behave themselves as well.
Watching African coups succeed because they feel safe as allies of Russia shows you where this will all lead. In Niger, the military didn't want Western reforms because they were making millions from people smuggling and getting people into Europe. Europe tried to help Niger develop so that their people had reasons to stay but the military did not agree with the French 'no government backed people smuggling' policy. Russia stepped in with Wagner troops and offered to support the military dictatorship. Mr Chomsky is willfully ignorant.
Noam Chomsky never showed up to protest Saddam's rape and torture chambers. He has a very selective morality. The fact that he thinks being slaves to Putin is a good thing is disgusting. The American military never used systematic rape in war, like Russia does. It took a long time to realize how incredibly dishonest this man is, but it became very clear in recent years. Chomsky thinks manufactured consent is bad, but no problem with the total disregard for consent.
With all due respect to Noam Chomsky, Russia invaded Ukraine. In the beginning the West (Germany) debated if they should send 5000 helmets. For Ukraine, it's about survival of the nation and the country.

To compare Ukraine and Russia war vs Iraq and USA war is beyond me. Iraq was attacking Kuwait. Ukraine did nothing wrong. They are a sovereign nation with their own independence.
@@OlegTarasov-l6f Ukraine can't attack Donetsk and Luhansk because Donetsk and Luhansk are Ukraine. A hand can't fight with its fingers. If you care about understanding what happened, try to read it from Igor Girkin himself - "I was the one who pulled the trigger on this war".
Dude, imagine that a psychopath that lives next door, broke into your appartment and started killing and raping everything that moves and burning and destroying everything that doesn’t. Do you think people will call it “a crisis”?
This is why Russia is just conducting a Police and Security action in Ukraine. It takes a while to clear out the 46 U.S. military-funded biolabs, and helping displaced residents after the looting of civilian properties by the Azov Battalion, which is comprised of 10-20% Nazis, and has accused the battalion of raping and torturing Ukrainian detainees in the Donbas region. This is probably one of the reasons NATO and the UN like them now. FACT.
Noam doesn't even consider the fact that Ukrainians themselves don't want Russia's leader to rule them politically. Ukrainians support the war against the invasion, and ask for help from Western countries to fight the invasion to retain the sovereignty of their borders. Ukrainians are brave. I'm not so sure the same is the case for people that push for peace at any cost. The big contradiction of peace at any cost, which Noam seems to advocate, is that making peace at any cost doesn't produce peace at all. It was tried by Chamberlain before WWII, but Germany just kept advancing and taking more. If Russia takes over any other sovereign nation by force the inhabitants won't find peace but oppression. To live under tyranny is not the life I want, and it's not the life Ukrainians want. Patrick Henry: "Give me liberty, or give me death."
@@mrfiestas Texas could take a vote and still not be allowed to join Mexico. No, there is no vote that citizens of a region of Ukraine can take to secede from Ukraine any more than Texas can from the US.
@@mrfiestas "International law does not give the inhabitants of a part of a state the right to secede from that state. The aspect of self-determination which allows for independence of a ‘people’ applies to peoples in colonies and other overseas territories under the occupation of another state. The other aspect of self-determination is ‘internal’ and comprises the right to freely choose political status and pursue economic, social, and cultural development within the state - as the Minsk accords sought to provide for Donetsk and Luhansk."
“The war must continue in order to severely weaken Russia” - key 🔑 “Britain and US were clear that they don’t want any negotiations between Ukraine and Russia” - another key 🔑
Much respect for Noam, however this perspective seems to give no agency to the will of the Ukrainian people. We need to have our ears tuned to what they are asking for, and it seems clear...help to push out the aggressor. I fully agree regarding the hypocrisy, Iraq and many prior US led wars.. however this one is on Russia.
Well they don't have it, the agency that is. There is like maybe 10 countries who can say that they have true autonomy in their decisions. Even big and rich countries like Germany and France or Japan aren't really autonomous in their decisions, so while Ukrainian people may want something and we can't really know what they want, we hear only what CNN tells us, they are going to get what USA and Russia agree between each other and that will be it. Shitty position to be in like many previous countries who were used for sparing between these 2. What I can tell you as a person who grown up in a country in a war is the desire to escape from there and never look back. You have your life and your families life everything beyond that is just some bullshit that newspapers and angry rich people are telling you that you should care about.
But you are not mentioning the will of Russian speaking Ukrainians whom for ten years the Kiev regime massacred. No, I am not a Russian troll, in 1992 I fled political persecution from a murderous neo-Nazi gang in my native Argentina, like the Azov Battalion in today's Ukraine. These Nazis massacred Ukrainians in the East for ten years, this financed from the US and the UK.

@@ChooseCompassion It’s pretty damning especially his response that it is none of anyone’s business. Chomsky is an extremely arrogant man since his linguist days. Sometimes that aided him standing up to power but it has also led to serious blind spots.
Bush became the first U.S. president to visit Iraq. He flew to Baghdad under extraordinary secrecy and security to spend Thanksgiving with U.S. troops and thank them for “defending the American people from danger.” He also met with members of the Coalition Provisional Authority and the Iraqi Governing Council.Dec 27, 2018. I guess he hasn't heard of Googling. Actually every US Pres. has visited Iraq during the conflict, including Trump.
Tony Blair and George Bush totally ruined Iraq. They should be ashamed of what they did there! It will take many years before Iraq gets anywhere near what it was pre Western actions!
It’s almost as if Chomsky doesn’t think hypocrisy is everywhere. Countries who may profit from joining in will. What country is not positioning for its future , often at the expense of others? This is not a meaningful revelation.
I don't care about the achievements of this man, but if he stands with people who forced me from my homeland because of his/their understanding of politics, he is evil. People who love Russia should be isolated in Russia to protect others who respect human rights and values.
The nuclear powers do not realize that global warming is destructive to all life on "the whole earth," The proxi war in Ukraine is an abuse of human lives. Whom does it Gain; certainly not western Europe. The Nato to realize that we are interdependent with the oceans and our biosphere. They have to listen to the warnings of Albert Einstein and learn to negotiate and disarm.🌻 I experienced the last four month of the 2-nd World and believe in a worlfederation. Do not repeat "The March of Folly,"we experienced in the 20th century🌻
But the US was attacking IRAQ, and is defending UKRAINE, so to compare American leaders going to their capitals is not an equal comparison. It’s incredible that Chomsky has nothing bad to say about Russia, the physical instigator of the violence. He used to be my idol.
Allways was a mystery to me why people having sharp science mind can "buy" very simple trick. Like the guys who send nuclear sicrets to Moskow (at the time my relatives where send to Sibirea or worse)
I dont disagree but where are the limits to this logic? Wasn't the american war of indepence just a proxy war between UK and france? Should the US colonies have accepted UK imperial rule? Should Europe have accepted the NAZI rule? Whats the limit? When are we "allowed" to defend our idea of living?
As soon as your idea of living is threatened on your own territory. But it never was. When was the last attack on the American people from a foreign army - or power ?
@@henryseidel5469 are you saying Ukraine was threatening Russia and Russia was defending itself? Not according to Chomsky. He says Russia is acting like a bully just like the US would if China militarized in Mexico.
@@iridescentsquids That's right. Yet if Putin had applied the methods from Hiroshima or Vietnam or Iraq or Lybia his mission would already be accomplished. I am saying that there are thirty Nato - armies gathering in front of Russia's doors - led by the US. The Russian occupation army went back home from Europe over thirty years ago, the US is still there. What for ? As I said: The Russians do not like American missiles in the bay of Peterburg the way US did not like a handful of Soviet missiles in Cuba. It was called a 'world crisis' then. Russia is not Chile or Guatemala or Lybia or Grenada. Safety is always a mutual affair. Chomsky knows this.
There is no crime, no cruelty, no abomination that the mind of men can conceive of which the Russian has not perpetrated, is not perpetrating, and will not perpetrate if he is allowed to go on…
Why do you always see the great patriotic war celebrated in Russia from 1941 - 1945? Have you ever asked what the Russians were up to from 1939 - 1940? Kissing Nazi ass and killing jews and Poles. Patton was right.

I'm sorry, but you're wrong. In Ukraine, the majority of the working class are ready and willing to support and escalate the war. Thousands are volunteering for the military, even poor people are donating money for drones and cars for the army. For many here in Ukraine, it's better to die than to live under Russian rule again, like in the previous centuries of colonial oppression. And, sadly, in Russia, the majority of those who voice their opinion, even among the working class, will literally tell you that Ukraine somehow deserves to be invaded, and that the Special Military Operation by the glorious Russian armed forces somehow makes the world more secure and will lead to reduced suffering.
Me: “Man it really is terrible, What Russia is doing to Ukraine right now. We should help them out.” Noam: “ummmmm actually the Iraq war was bad” Me: ???
Hopefully, this happens with the US after their criminal invasions of Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya etc. And their criminal sanctions on Cuba, Venezuela, Syria etc. And their terrorist attack on the Nord Stream pipelines. This has to stop hopefully.
@Patrick C actually it is RFK just told us who killed his father. There is court testimony linking the 911 terrorists to a 3 letter org. John Mershiemer layouts out in a video whonis to blame in Ukrainian. Seems pretty clear Ukraine is a neocon op.
Everyone needs to listen to Noam and learn, and then learn how to ignore him. I'm Canadian, and like, if the moon was destroyed by an asteroid, somehow the US did it? Like, eff off, man.
This man of extraordinary intellect is proof that a great mind doesn't equal an honest broker. When asked about the rape of Ukraine he starts with US war on Iraq, a totally different affair if as unjustified as the Russian attack on Ukraine, and continues with Kremlin talking points when discussing the crisis in Ukraine (US pushes this war and nonsense of that sort). It's disgraceful.
It's disgraceful how the US/UK war crimes against humanity are easily forgotten & the real background of this conflict against the Slavic people :( The Neo-Nazis & collaborators are happy !!!

Iraq used to be blood hungry country, involved in many war crimes. Yugoslavia was a country that practiced genocide. Ukraine, at another hand, peaceful, friendly country, did no harm to anyone. How can u put these countries in the same shelf. Are u OK?
Undecent to compare a murderer country like ukronazistan which committed genocide in the donbass to countries like irak or serbia where decent and innocent people were murdered by US agressors.

@@keithparker1346USA (and Russia) both signed treaties promising to defend Ukraine from attack, in exchange for Ukraine giving up their nuclear weapons, which they did. What Russia has done is put another nuclear nail in the coffin of humanity, no country will ever give up nuclear arms again by choice, knowing how Ukraine was betrayed by both allies and enemies.
I dont remember people not talking about Iraqi deaths during the war. I was around at that time and thise who against the war-- a sizable number of people, talked about the casualties quite a lot. That is, it was well-known that hundreds of thousands died. That said, one expects a European society (and yes, America is essentially a European society) to pay closer attention to a war in Europe than elsewhere. Just like I expect a person in Sub-Saharan Africa to pay closer attention to a war in say, Liberia, than in say, Yugoslavia. Thats not hypocrisy, that's just common sense and natural.
Not only did people talk about those deaths left and right, they ignored who was actually doing the killing. According to John Slobeda of Iraq Body Count, about 88% of civilians in Iraq were killed by "insurgents, militia, and terrorists." No doubt they were encouraged by the fact that they knew people would blame all their atrocities on their America enemies.
🚨🔴What he says about Europe is completely false. European countries transferred their industry to China decades ago. It begins in the 90'es. And Europe is on the contrary reindustrialising itself due to the atitude of China in 2016, 18-19, 2020, 21, 22 and 23 where China blok production chains and don't export semi conductors and other essential components necessary for several sensible European industries, such as car and electronic production, planes and military and space and medicin industry, and has also bloked the export of vital ressources such as production of masks and protective hospitals material, so now all those productions are being brought back to European and American soils, and others are transferred to other more trust deserving countries. Several new industries have opened and reopened in Europe in the past 2 years, and yesterday, the french president Emmanuel Macron, has inaugurated a new industrial area in North of France, the biggest production of batteries for electric cars, and their recycling center at the same place, and last year opened several new industrial spots in France, among which the center of creation of hydrogen to airplane industry to replace jets fuel, and a new industrial plant for metal and steel. France also opened a 3 new industrial plants for the production of wind turbines in Bretagne and south of France and in north of France, who will create thousands of jobs. Several other industrial plants have opened in Germany too, and in other east European countries. France is also very actively supporting the development of Moldova. Norway and Danmark have also open new industries last year, and this year marked the opening of a huge factory of wind turbines in Danmark. So no, Europe is not deindustrializing, but on the contrary reindustruilising. On top of that, new décision on the plastic pollution have leaded EU countries to go back to use glass bottles instead of plastic, for water and milk bottles, who are recyclable and do not pollute. Which demand a reindustrialization of the sector in all countries, touching most branches of agro alimentation, as soda will also be in glass bottles. So Europe is reindustrialising massively as a result of the disagreement with China and the armed conflict in Ukraine. ❗Chomsky is propping your heads with propaganda!
