Some points made by Chomsky:

The US is repeating the Soviet-Afghanistan conflict in Ukraine, trying to "bleed" Russia
Russia could have put more effort into diplomacy right before the war
The US is not interested in a diplomatic solution
A recent Washington Post article about Ukraine showed surprise at the restraint shown by Russia (as compared to the brutality of US/NATO attacks/invasions)
The Russian invasion of Ukraine was heavily provoked through NATO expansion but we cannot/won't say this in the west
There was no justification for the NATO attack against Serbia
"The treat of China" means that they don't take orders from the US
The US is acting lika a mafia - Even if countries disagree with the US they often obey out of fear of punishment
