From Western biased ChatGPT - The US interference 1960-70s, particularly during the Vietnam War & the subsequent Cambodian Civil War HAD SEVERE & LASTING consequences: Bombing Campaign: From 1969-73, the US conducted Secret Bombing campaign in Cambodia, known as Operation Menu, to target North Vietnamese & Viet Cong forces who were using Cambodian territory for their operations. The bombings were intended to disrupt enemy supply lines & bases but resulted in Extensive CIVILIAN casualties & the destruction of infrastructure (AS ALWAYS by US/UK strategy of destruction). Support for Lon Nol Regime: In 1970, US-backed military coup led by General Lon Nol overthrew Prince Norodom Sihanouk, the then head of state of Cambodia. The US supported the Lon Nol regime both politically & militarily, providing financial aid, weapons, & military advisors. Incursion & Ground Operations: In 1970, US & South Vietnamese forces launched ground invasion into Cambodia as part of efforts to counter the Viet Cong & North Vietnamese presence. This incursion, known as Operation Rockcrusher, aimed to disrupt enemy bases & supply routes but faced significant opposition & encountered widespread resistance. Destabilization & Civil War: US involvement in Cambodia further exacerbated internal divisions & FUELED the growth of insurgent groups, particularly the Khmer Rouge. The war & US interference contributed to political instability, economic disruptions, & the displacement of large populations within Cambodia. SUPPORT for Khmer Rouge: While the US did not directly support the Khmer Rouge, their actions indirectly contributed to the group's rise to power. The bombing campaigns & military operations destabilized the country, creating conditions that allowed the Khmer Rouge to gain support & ultimately seize power in 1975

The actual arguably 'real' (historically) 9-11 i.e. 1973 Chilean coup d'état, says everything about not needing to directly attack, but directly interfering, with 'advisors' et-al, to ensure the same outcome, in overturning a democratically elected civilian government, that the US didn't like. Then there's the US interference in Iran, supporting groups that could never be 'elected' so ensuring Islamofascism, i.e. what we have had since, and now; and the whole destabilisation of the middle east... where Iraq was, simply put, the main stabilising force; before the US completely destabilised the whole country; which never needed to be the case, even after the fall of Saddam...

Of course he his, if Russia started wailing like little btches about how another country was doing an "illegal invasion and that was so evil it could never be accepted and the evil monsters must be stopped" and so on, then everyone on earth would turn around and say you just illegally invaded Ukraine... what are you talking about? And guess what... that's exactly what the world says to the US and NATO! Welcome to reality. Those who go around illegally invading countries don't get to hold the moral high ground, shouldn't need explaining. Unfortunately Russia is not doing anything exceptional and is doing it to nowhere near the extremes the US and UK have been over the past 20 years, if you can't see that and understand why its relevant you are wilfully blinding yourself. I'm sure the 24 hour propaganda telling your race and culture are superior and represent "freedom, morality, reason" and the "foreign other" are "evil orcs who must be destroyed" plays a part in that wilful delusion. It always works for the weak-minded, it makes them feel like their insignificant lives are part of something bigger and not just gristle to be ground for the cynical interests of the tiny ultra wealthy, all powerful oligarchy

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.

from the Western biased chatGPT: - No, Noam Chomsky did not praise Pol Pot's regime in the 1970s. Chomsky is prominent linguist, philosopher, & political activist who has been vocal critic of US foreign policy, particularly its interventionist policies in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War. In the 1970s, Chomsky was critical of the US-backed military regime in Cambodia, led by Lon Nol, which he saw as responsible for human rights abuses and the killing of civilians. Chomsky also criticized the US bombing campaign in Cambodia, which he argued had contributed to the rise of the Khmer Rouge regime led by Pol Pot. However, Chomsky has been criticized for his comments on Cambodia and the Khmer Rouge regime, particularly for downplaying the extent of the regime's atrocities and its responsibility for the deaths of millions of Cambodians. In particular, 1977 article by Chomsky & fellow scholar Edward Herman, "Distortions at Fourth Hand," has been criticized for its defense of the Khmer Rouge regime & its criticism of media coverage of the regime's atrocities. Chomsky has since acknowledged the extent of the Khmer Rouge regime's atrocities & has expressed regret for his comments at the time. He has also argued that his criticism of US foreign policy should not be seen as support for totalitarian regimes."

Girkin and others confessed to have provoked the conflict, including armed conflict, in 2014. There's footages, evidences everywhere, testimonials, of Russia's waging the war in Eastern Ukraine. We can even go back to 2004, when Putin ordered the assassination of the pro-ukrainian presidential candidate Yushchenko, in order to elect his pro-russian candidate Yanukovych. Yushchenko survived the poisoning, barely, and got elected. Ukraine was clear in its 2004 Constitution: no more bullying by Russia, yes to the free world of Europe. Putin has been boycotting Ukraine since 2000. Well... Russia has been bullying Ukraine since 300 years! Forbidding ukranians from speaking the ukranian language, forcing russian on them, for over 200 years, ethnically cleasing all the territories around Russia, expanding its colonial empire, which is what Russia truly is: a Colonial Empire. Complete hypocrisy when criticising other former colonial empires, when those ended decades ago, and the only old Colonial Empire still standing, and still expanding, is RUSSIA. 🤨

I agree with you. History is going to judge how NATO responded to this thug, Putin. There are costs and there are priorities, and Ukraine has decided, along with the West, to deny Russia their plunder. I believe the right thing is being done, in fact if NATO wants to join the fight it would be over sooner. Though I also understand that Putin has been sabre-rattling with the nukes (all the more reason for a regime change in Russia, but as an American I should be cautious about presenting the tactic).

He tends to add global south "keyboard warrior" talking points after applying grievances of Iraq and decades old unrelated connections. If the "Global South" assumes that not having a reasonable attitude to what Putin is up to invading his neighbor, as he has is directly connected to the USA than he's abstract as all the crap Putin installs in his state ran propaganda, and those "Global South" nations buy in conveniently, just to serve their oil price manipulation financial structure. Somehow I don't see it shaking out in their favor and no amount of their bitch about "hypocrisy will make this war's outcome reward them. America other than helping the Kurds, after Trump abandoned them in Syria, has been reducing it's footprint in the Middle East and as long as the Democrat Party holds the Executive wing of American government that will continue to be the way things are. I personally wish by some miracle Iran would give up on their trouble making, but that's unlikely and that will soon be the next "escalating" conflict Noam will have to be shaken by.

seriously? had the usa not led the coup, selected the new leadership, looked the other way as azov committed war cimes, the indiscriminate shelling etc then i doubt we would be at this juncture. the usa needed a war to create a schism between russian and ukrainian peoples, the usa wants to surround russia with weaponry to nullifiy its nuclear deterrent, zelesnsky wanted to be part of nato and the eu and a war would make this a priority for western europe. lets not forget merkle stating outright that the minsk accords were never taken seriously and were simply used to buy time to arm ukraine. so really now there is no one in the western camp that has any credibility for negotiations which ultimately will once again be used to re-arm ukraine. so we are left dancing along the razors edge of war between nato and russia as the incidents escalate and increasingly get out of control. Just remember Nato has already shot down a sukhoi in syria resulting in the deaths of the crew members, it has deliberately armed ukraine with offensive weaponry which was initially ruled out , it has supplied assistance and intelligence to target the generals assassinated ostensibly by ukraine but more likely by american irregulars, and it provided the drones and intel which led to the sinking of the moskva. the fact is it is the russians showing restraint while the americans seem to think they can push and push with no consequences.

Hitler was a minor rabble rouser until Wall Street decided he needed some publicity,, get Edward Bernays on it, Viola,, everyone hates communists... But Wall Street must have had a little too much champagne that day because while Hitler insinuated he meant RUSSIAN Bolsheviks, Jewish communists,, Hitler hated ALL Jews, especially the ones on Wall Street in the city and London and in Rotterdam and in Paris... The rest is history but it was pretty obvious after Roosevelt died and all the deals with the Soviet Union were just cancelled by Wall Street and their stooge from pendergast Harry Truman... The United States kills 100,000 Japanese with atomic bombs to intimidate the Russians,, Russia makes their own bombs,, both discover fusion,, Russia says no matter what if one nuclear warhead lands anywhere on the Eurasian continent we're going to let fly over the Arctic Ocean,, and American propaganda has always said that their nuclear development was defensive, that is complete bullshit and most thinking people in the world know it...

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.

“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.

"As to negotiations, there is, in fact, very little to negotiate. As long as an Russian army of occupation remains in Ukraine, the war will continue. Withdrawal of Russian troops must be a unilateral act, as the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian government was a unilateral act in the first place. Those who had been calling for ‘negotiations now’ were deluding themselves and others, just as those who now call for a cease-fire that will leave an Russian expeditionary force in Ukraine are not facing reality."

The mistake is the idea that there's nothing to negotiate, other than Russian withdrawal. The other side has to be an end to the persecution of Russian speakers in the Donbass (which was a real phenomenon, despite media silence on the conflict) and a general end to Western interference in Ukraine (like the clearly American-backed coup in 2014). Unfortunately the ideological war has gotten so heated that the only question is how severely Russia will be punished for their unparalleled (and obviously "unprovoked") act of aggression. Too bad the same permanent pariah status hasn't applied to the many equally-bad or worse acts by Western powers in the last century.

The sheer amount of approving and cheering comments by ordinary Russians under videos about the atrocities committed against civilians and prisoners of war in Ukraine were no less shocking to Ukrainians than the war itself. We somehow got used to the war, but the realization of who we have been living next to all this time without even knowing it is still terrifying. Those barbarians called themselves our brothers. Imagine what they would do to you, who they call their enemies, if you let them. Not supplying weapons to Ukraine under the pretext of achieving an early peace is like allowing a violator to violate his victim in order to end the violence as soon as possible.

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.

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.
I've respected Chomsky as an intellectual for a long time. This time it seems like he's not getting it. Maybe it's about time to get rid of the "America is responsible for all the shit in the world".
