Noam Chomsky: U.S. Must Improve Relations with Russia and Challenge the Expansion of NATO 

Man this interview hits different in 2022 . God bless you Noam and Amy

This seems particularly relevant right now...

I wish this gentleman could live forever.

It's 2022. Noam was right.

RU-vid recommending this to us now just to remind us of the ways we’ve got here today

Mr.Noam Chomsky really is a very experienced expertise in geopolitical,he is a great expert in our time.I admire him.God bless

This needs a billion views not a few thousand. Excellent observations by Chomsky highlighting how everyone is deviated away from the important issues. People hardly see further than the end of their ears. Also note RU-vid is manipulating and changing what we get to see, now that they have an unchallengeable monopoly. They recently removed information of upload date and removed dislikes information. Did they ask if thats what users really want or need? Or more likely sponsors and advertisers prefer things blander where we can think less and follow the fashion more.

Seems like Trump had a good idea in having the US leave NATO but, we will never know. I think that would have neutralized many hostilities between western Europe and Russia.

Boy I wish I'd seen this interview when it first came out. Chomsky clears up a lot.

Chomsky is correct, but your headline for this video is not. To say that the US must challenge the expansion of NATO is to turn reality on its head: the US (its entire foreign policy establishment) is the main driving force behind NATO expansion. One could argue, that perhaps the people of the US would not want such a policy...but this is rather naive, since most Americans have been kept in the dark of US foreign policy to start with...and have never been informed of what is being done in their name. Slowly and over time, Democracy Now has morphed into a defender of the US National Security State, a truly lamentable situation, which goes hand in hand with its funding models, which increasingly depends on Foundations - i.e. entities which are NOT grass-roots.

He is a National treasure.

Like it or not, NATO still exists. Does anyone think it's going away after what happened in late-Winter, 2022?

It is a matter of fact that NATO was set up to counter the Soviet Union - not Russia.

Donald Trump is a great President for this country.,Humanity is gone.

Because when I want an opinion on foreign policy, the first name I think of is…..Noam Chomsky? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Chomsky seems unaware of the danger of Russia and their brutal regime. NATO is the only way small countries can defend themselves. The government of Finland is moving ahead with a formal assessment of whether to apply for NATO membership, and will present its findings to parliament next week, the Finnish foreign minister said in Brussels. For decades, the Nordic nation that borders Russia has resisted invitations to join the North Atlantic security alliance. But Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has forced it to reconsider, and public opinion in Finland has swung in favor of joining NATO.

With that soccer ball, Putin is Telling America that "the ball is in your court." Trump so full of himself could not decipher this subtle message, but sheepishly took the ball as though he had won the world cup. Russia has continued to tell the US that the ball is in their court. We must admit that Putin and Xi are excellent state men.

Trump's policy: Me first and american farmers and workers last!

Noam is always right and we never listen! I adore Noam! 💛✌💙

I love hearing what Noam Chomsky has to say, it's always an education.

3:39 I will hand it to the Russians there. They seem to excel at that kind of semi-subtle trolling.

How can he improve relations if Trump puts Russian dressing on his salad. Libtards would scream collusion??

Soccer! Don't they mean football?

Agree !

Chomsky is always right because every sentence he speaks comes out of gist of thousands of historical and documented facts....

Yes, the North Atlantic Terror Organization should be questioned.

Ahhh didn’t this just age like fine wine?

".... former Russian satellites were introduced into NATO...." There are your words, Noam. Now, the question is: why would these countries want to join NATO? And, the obvious answer is that they had been forced into the USSR, in the past, and didn't want to be, again. How about that..... wanting to join an organization so that they would never be forced into Russia's sphere, again. Is that irrational? No, it makes perfect sense.

Watch starting at 7:29. Chomsky talks about what NATO's purpose is today.

In the light of all that has happened since, my god, were it only so that an American president would have had this man as an adviser. Instead America has a choice between Cheech and Chong

just being neutral, it really needs intelligence.

Listening to this now is something else.

Giftsky... Provides free internet access,,, Ergo...ur info is ours: Putin ( like Facebook)

His view and vision is incredibly accurate. I wish you a healthy long life Noam Chamsky.

3:24 "and so on"

2022 and seems like too late

Hey, Past. It's the Future... are you sitting down?

Noam Chomsky is right they should have listened to him long ago

That is not true: for 4 years they will be no non-German NATO forces on the territories of the former GDR, as long as the Soviets hasn't moved their troops out of the GDR in 1994, and that was fulfilled by the German Government,and that was all of it. Further east was never considered, because that was the most eastward possible at this point in time, the rest is revisionist history. And I'm from West Berlin in Germany, and with that I claim for myself to have some historical competence in regard to this topic. And NATO was although considered by everyone in Europe as protection from each other, and Gorbi agreed to Germany choosing their own alliance or even no alliance at all, not accepting direct NATO Membership. With unification of course, all former GDR troops were instantly NATO Troops, but they were German NATO Troops as agreed on with Gorbi.

Let's send Chomsky to review the color guard of all the old European imperial pomp and flamboyance.

“Political dissident” aka moral and honest man

hooray! a voice of common sense .

Ask Chomsky if Russia intends to take over former USSR countries.

Chomsky’s my North Star

respect and thanks

❤

I love you Noam... but you are questioning whether nato is better than Russian invading its bordering sovereign nations... I think you have lost your shit. All love but damn.

The media, the political class, and the intellectual community in general are ALL overlooking the critical issues? That sounds funny in an embarrassing way. So what are they looking at? I know $$$$

wow , Chomsky on the button , massive media and political manipulation

More truth... I was beginning to think it was dead. Great man.

Highly important.

And apropos today thank you Noam and Amy

Sam Harris said he'd take Ben Carson's foreign policy over Noam Chomsky. Tells you all you need to know about Harris

Chomsky for president.

Here watching Russia in Ukraine.

Noam is off base with the soccer ball. The ball was 100% standard and not a Russian "listening device" as implied

Noam says "1991 ...no more Russian hoards." 2022: Russian hoards said: " Hold our beer. We're going to Ukraine."

Love me some Noam!!!

You have no idea!

Thanks

Noam Chomsky is our Yoda. ❤️

The soccer ball had a listening device??

too many :)

Comrade Chomsky will decide next General Secretary.

I have no idea what he's blathering on about. Somehow they call him "world renowned"? On what? I've seen other stuff with him rambling on, it's worthless. Improving relations on Russia.... yeah, no crap that would be a good thing. It takes two, so where it goes who knows, but you have to try. That's not enlightened, it's obvious. Can anyone get anywhere with NOKO? Well, you have to try. DUH! This is obvious. This is the problem, this guy is a genius to some. There is nothing genius about this. Its pretty obvious. Why should we communicate with Russia even when we have bad relations. They have the ability to wipe out our country and our allies. By doing so, they get wiped out. The point of MAD is still relevant. It should be. It does not take much of a history lesson to remember Cuban missile crisis, the 1982 war games that almost caused ww3, some radar that mistook a sun rise as a missile attack. How is this enlightened. Obviously we need to be able to have some relationship with them and reality is reality. So I agree with him on that, but it goes without saying, or at very least should go without saying. Does not matter how bad Russia gets as a player, we have to talk draw some lines, and then act if those lines are crossed in a way that makes it clear we are headed down a path that could lead to war, not just piss and moan until some war happens. I see nothing other than the conclusion it's all we got, and for the most part, all they got at this stage. Reality. The parts about Trump acting childish... how? I would argue he has to be consistent if he's being honest the whole time, and he was that. It's not only the investigation, it's the whole ball of wax of the DOJ. And yes, they do suck and are obviously corrupt. And we have to say the caveat "only at the top," the rest is ok. How? How is the rest ok? When someone somewhere in the DOJ actually makes a play and comes clean and spills what is obvious, good, then we can start to be ok with some. But good god, no, somewhere someone who has taken an oath to uphold the .... I don't know.... LAW .... has to actually uphold the law and take their oath serious. Not just sit on the sidelines while all this stuff goes on above them. Congress should just wipe the whole structure of the FBI away and start from scratch. It's apparently terrible the whole way thru. They should do the same with the IRS. Just not worth anything and has zero credibility. We need a federal law enforcement agency. That I will say. But one that actually is for enforcement of the law that congress has passed, not some whacked out political sideshow that is at the whim of ideology of it's own self importance and therefore the existence of itself above all else. That's what it is, call a spade a spade and be damn all the political correctness. Problem is, we need a federal law agency yesterday, today, and in the future and it's not good to have some reset with a large lull of having nothing. So someone in the complete know please step up to the plate and do the damn job you took an oath that you would do. They are basically flipping off congress! CONGRESS! By letting all this go on, you are the very thing the FBI is suppose to enforce, they are making it harder on harder on themselves going forward because no one in this country believes they are non-bias officers of the law, and therefore are a non-trust entity that is not accountable to the law themselves. We already have the point of a vast amount of people are willing to violently break the law in the form of protest all over the place. To some of us the progressives seems silly and childish. But to them, and it does not matter why they believe it, the fact is they do, they see an arrest as a badge of honor in these situations. We are getting to the point the people on the right are going to be the same way at the FBI and federal institutions. They will see it as a badge of honor in their fight against this stuff. The FBI, IRS, EPA, DNR already have enough bad vibe from citizens whom they work for, not at. That's the problem, we see them as working at us, not for us. How much farther does the needle move the wrong way before another movement against them turns more violent and reckless from the right side of the political spectrum. Point is, the dial is moving the wrong way, and these things are obvious. Listen to the people and it is correctable I think. Not many people would wish it gets to a point no one can imagine it could get to. We already have a movement to get rid of ICE, go and distrust local police and demonize them which that itself has really bad repercussions. Trump got support because he is an outsider, a populist, a clean the swamp up kinda guy. And the swamp doubles down? He has a large, very large support that is loyal beyond loyal. Reform is not being asked for, it is being demanded. That's why he became president. But instead, lets have a witch hunt, lets obstruct the house of representatives..... The DOJ has done nothing more than step forward to basically raise their hand and shout to the rest of America, you want corruption in government, we are the biggest baddest corrupt thing around. Really? How stupid is that. It does not help the problem that is the undercurrent of distrust in the federal institutions growing larger by the day, it is like throwing gas on a fire. This is a fact I don't even think ole' Noam could dispute. Trump becoming president is a direct result of the growing distrust in the federal government. I would argue that is the number one reason how he won, and if that reason did not exist, he would not have won. In a twist of irony, the DOJ itself helped him win with how they handled the whole Hillary thing first by dismissing any illegalities then just to announce they are looking into it again..... I would say a lot of things he ran on did cause support, but nothing as big as our institutions are out of control and immune to being accountable. The drain the swamp thing was a massive huge thing he ran on. The country wants not what we have, something more humble different and accountable. Any FBI agents who would find their moral compass in the know would be very appreciated and very needed.

no nato,no wars

We can improve relations after we crush Putin

DN runs 15 thousand anti-russia reports and then a we need to improve russia relations video. LOL bi-polar much.

Chomsky is becoming a senile conspiracy theorist

Let's send Chomsky to engage in hand to hand combat in Ukraine

Where is Noam now let's hear what he has to say about American aggression.

no Nato has to stand firm against Russian aggression .Neither side should be using war as a negotiation tactic over territory.On this one im afraid you are wrong Noam.Improve relations yes .Get Russian money out of western politics yes.Get political interference out of western politics yes.Keep the diplomatic door open certainly but Putin must take his goons back to Russia now

Chumpsky 1 year ago: "Trump is starting a nuclear war, Russian interference doesn't matter!" Chumpsky now :"Muh Russian interference!!!!" Genuine my ass...

This is nonsense. It would ignore their occupation of Crimea, Donbass, and 20% of Georgian territory. Russian imperialism is a real issue. I used to like Chomsky, but this is ridiculous.

As a Turkish citizen I would like to listen chomskys take on Trump sanctions on Turkey..

improve.relations but they hack us??? lol

So now you're pro-Trump? Make up your mind.

Noam, drink tea w lemon, dude

This is so comical LMAO

Yeah, well, Ukraine didn't join NATO and Russia STILL invaded.

1:56 Was that a non-gendered pronoun? Is that Chomsky's preferred personal pronoun?

Aren't we so lucky to have Noam Chomsky to judge US Policies? After all, who could possibly be better qualified on such an important topic, than a career Linguistics Professor, with ZERO Real World Experience in Government, Military, International Affairs, Foreign Policy, or National Security, and whose criticisms all have the great luxury of exploiting 20/20 Hindsight? This makes perfect sense-Right??? UGH-It is a tragedy that anyone takes this ridiculous old man seriously! SMH

I like Chomsky, but man, did this not age well.

I respect his brain but I'd be in prison if he was a leader of my nation..

Whiner in Chief. The older he gets, the more he whines

Putin would not have invaded Ukraine if Trump still in power. This bloke No - am needs to read more of Jordan Peterson

There is not G-d but Marx and Chomsky is his messenger.
