Noam Chomsky on Ukraine, US Foreign Policy, etc

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

Take the United States today. It is living under a kind of totalitarian culture which has never existed in my lifetime, and is much worse in many ways than the Soviet Union before Gorbachev. Go back to the 1970s, people in the Soviet Russia could access BBC, Voice of America, German television, if they wanted to find out the news. If today, in the United States, you want to find out what [Sergei] Lavrov of Russia is saying, can't do it, it's barred. Americans are not permitted to hear what Russians are saying. Can't get Russian television, can't access Russian sources.
