Washington simply decided to dismiss the Soviet peace initiative and continue the costly Cold War. Washington attitude toward diplomacy has changed little in 70 years.

Does anyone even come close to understanding and explaining events of the world as well as he does?

I like many of what Noam Chomsky did, wrote an said. Here I think he's wrong. The reason is probably that he sees this only as an affair between US and Russia. I'm an European and our leaders kept in touch with Moscow and tried a lot to find a diplomatic road to a cease fire. Scholz, Macron and others had several and long phone calls with Putin. Especially the German cancellor Scholz hesitated to deliver weapons to the Ukraine because he feared an escalation of the war. But after all he and the other European leaders came to the conclusion that Putin is not willing to negotiate seriously. There is no good way out of this mess. Either the war goes on and costs 10.000s more deaths and bears the possibility of escalation (which I doubt) or we give Ukraine to Putin and live in fear of his next move for decades ... let aside what other dictatorships like China will conclude from a victory of Putin. For me another key aspect is if the Ukrainian people wants to fight or surrender. I'm willing to take some risk to help people fighting for a good cause.

" What The Media Is Hiding About Ukraine / Russia ? "

Dear Prof. Chomsky. You are such an important voice in this most crucial moment in human mankind. Thanks for speaking out. What you say here, should be also read and spread to a wider audience. I want to contribute a transcript of a part of your statement. Please excuse errors that might have occurred. Thanks also to MPA, which brought this on YT and wishing you all the best. Kind regards from Slovakia. 11.52 - 13.48 "We’re still, it’s to call for a ghastly experiment, let us see, whether Putin will slink away quietly in total defeat or whether he will use the weapons that he indisputably has and devastate the Ukraine and set the stage for a terminal war. That’s the ghastly experiment which happens to be operative in US-politics, supported by a wide range of opinions, always with noble rhetoric. So, how we must stand up for principles and not go for a crime unpunished. Well, when we hear this from supporters of US-crime, as we commonly do, we can simply dismiss it as sheer cynicism. More interesting for us, we hear it from our friends, from opponents of Us-crimes, who do not want to carry out the ghastly experiment that they are, in fact, advocating. At this point, some other questions arise, the rising tide of sheer irrationality, that is undermining any hope for serious discourse, which is a necessity not only for Ukraine but if the human experiment is to persist much longer. Well, if we can escape cynicism and irrationality the humane choice for the West is straightforward, seek and facilitate a diplomatic settlement". Here goes another one: 14.50 - 15.49 The marching orders, given out a couple of weeks ago at Ramstein, a US-military base in Germany, not in Brussels, the headquarter of NATO, this is more than symbolic, are: We have to continue to fight the war, to let the Ukrainians fight the war, to harm Russia. Whatever the consequences for Ukrainians, whatever the consequences, the so called collateral damages beyond, mass starvation, destruction of the environment that sustains life, possible terminal war, doesn’t matter, we have to harm Russians. Similar questions arise with the blockade and the mass starvation that it’s causing. Right now, Ukrainian ports are blocked by the Russian navy that is preventing desperately needed exports. So what can we do about it? Well, one possibility is official US-policy. Send advanced anti-ship missiles to sink the Russian ships , already sank the flag-ship, the flag-ship of the Russian fleet. With new shipments more, ..? ...can be, I don’t know. Will the Russians observe quietly? - May-be. - How would the US react under similar circumstances? ...? I put that aside. Another part of possibility, supported among others from the Wall Street Journal editors, quoting them, “use warships, use US-warships to escort merchant ships out of the black-sea. The editor assures, that this would conform to International law. They also say, that Russians are total savages who will stop nothing. These are the two ideas to keep in mind. So, if they react in their savage manner, we can proclaim proudly, that we upheld International law when the whole worlds goes down in flames. That’s considered sophisticated opinion! Actually Moscow has a different proposal, but in our increasingly totalitarian culture, can only be recorded at the extreme margin. I found it at the libertarian website reported a week ago. Maybe, one likes to contribute other parts as well.❤

Azov steelworks fighters surrender 🟡🟡The Baghuz strike was one of the largest civilian casualty incidents of the war against the Islamic State, but it has never been publicly acknowledged by the U.S. military. The details, reported here for the first time, show that the death toll was almost immediately apparent to military officials. A legal officer flagged the strike as a possible war crime that required an investigation. But at nearly every step, the military made moves that concealed the catastrophic strike. The death toll was downplayed. Reports were delayed, sanitized and classified. United States-led coalition forces bulldozed the blast site. And top leaders were not notified. The Defense Department’s independent inspector general began an inquiry, but the report containing its findings was stalled and stripped of any mention of the strike.

As far as I undestand the “question”, the main difficulty in reaching an agreement to end the war is the attitude and interests of NATO, Well, in other words, the interests of the United States. Neither Russia, nor Ukraine, nor Europe, nor a good part of the world get anything good out of this war. It seems, however, that the United States - NATO does. It returns reinforced to the international arena, sowing chaos and spreading the political, economic and military crisis throughout the planet. As Mr. Chomsky has pointed out on more than one occasion, the United States is the most dangerous country on the planet. Europe should unilaterally promote an agreement with China, Russia and North Africa to stop the war and reorganize the international arena. There will undoubtedly be American retaliation, but we cannot go on living and destroying life in and on the planet at the expense of a single country. A single country run by the military industrial complex and large corporations.

15:02 I see it differently. Namely: We are broadening the spectrum of opportunities for the Ukrainian people as a whole. If they do not have adequate support, then they really don't have a choice but to be nudged towards a negotiated settlement. Now that they have somewhat more resources, they do actually have a choice to make. Every major Western power has been very clear to the point that continued fighting or a negotiated settlement is up to the Ukrainian people. But in my estimation it is important to give them the opportunity to fight. Seen in this view, nobody is trying to prolong the war but the Ukrainian people who have a right to do so since they were shamelessly invaded by a foreign aggressor.

sadly , russia itself does NOT support and never allow Internationally supervised Referendum neither in Donbas , nor in Crimea

Surviving at all at this point means burning what we got plus whatever new comes on line, like it has been added of course, whether ff, solar, coal or whatever. Otherwise, well, for example, we all monitor news that millions face starvation due to blockage and mines. Is it perhaps too much of a crop was grown in one region, or poor planning or whatever? The why won't matter to the starving. That example alone should be appreciated and make apparent to all: To keep 8 billion (and growing by millions more each week), even in a modicum of life, requires global industrial civilization going all out 24/7. Accept it. We are in a capsule at this point, no longer in a viable habitat to sustain us. We can probably figure out to the year the time when the last sociopath kills the next to last sociopath for the last can of peaches in their underground survival bunker. We are done. Stacking of catastrophe after catastrophe should give even the most fervent hope biased individual a clue. 7/8 walk into the ocean, as Bill Burr hilariously says or we gotta do what we got to do.

India also has a ridiculous ‘always on’ election cycle that is really pretty ugly. To get votes, the politicians use rhetoric that appeals to the worst part of humans to win marginal votes from ‘vote banks’. These have been created over a long time based on lines of religion, India’s caste system, farmers are one of these groups….These groups have legitimate concerns but political statistics drive outrageous rhetoric which is unhealthy. So, a simplistic assessment that India is right wing is somewhat shallow.

Noam Chomsky is a treasure for humanity.

The situation of the world, especially with the US and Britain trying to vilify all others, while disregarding their ugly campaigns and escapades of colonizing and suppressing other nations and peoples through military invasions, economic sanctions, media suppression, vetoes in the United Nations, support of government that are repressive as long as they carry out pro US and UK policies or buy US and UK weapons. The Anglo American policy towards Russia and China, disregards the fact that these counties are the home of over one and the half billion people, that the people in those countries have great cultural contributions to the world, that these countries have a dynamic citizens that love their countries and are peace loving wanting the best for the children and neighbors. The US and UK seem to be leading the world into a situation best described by the limerick of the two cats of Kilkenny: There once were two cats of Kilkenny There once were two cats of Kilkenny, Each thought there was one cat too many, So they fought and they fit, And they scratched and they bit, Till, excepting their nails And the tips of their tails, Instead of two cats, there weren’t any.

Nevertheless, Chomsky ignores, covers up and defends the Renaissance of Nazism in Ukraine. What Chomsky says is well-known geopolitics and many of his arguments were compensated and closed by the liberation of Crimea in 2014. But the issue of the revival of Nazism, which he carefully does not mention, could not be defeated by the return of the Crimea. It was real current state Nazism that threatened Russia and the Ukrainians themselves - and not some future membership in Nato. However, the upcoming Nazi attack on Donbass and the daily killing of civilians is the reality of that time. The murder and burning alive of Odessa demonstrators is a reality - even REVENGE is a more important motive than empty words about NATO mythical prospect..

Crazy that people still believe Hitler and Stalin were acting independently when they both served the same masters in the Vatican.

The Russian Military Intervention is infact not a criminal Aggression like Mr. Chomsky says because the purpose of this Military Intervention is the support of the only legitime representatives of Ukraine as a subject of international law which are the Donbass Peoples Republics. Russia is not a paper tiger and was not unable to conquer cities near its own border because the priority of the Special Military Operation is to keep civilian deaths as low as possible which is difficult because the Neo-Fascist Volunteers use Civilians as human shields.

What a load. Appease Putin at our peril.

Lol! Than why or better how you or anyone can blame Russia and Putin?!

Just give Putin the Ukraine and there will be peace. Ah yes Monachium 2.0

Russia have attacked Ukraine and you talk only about USA. Its not USA which have invaded Ukraine.

I seriously question chomsky's judging ability , since I know he was friends with Epstein.

I've been reading and watching Chomsky for some time, and he has given invaluable perspectives on countless occasions, but lately, and especially on the war in Ukraine, he has not been convincing and to me even seems possibly dangerously off. For better worded critique on Chomsky's stance on Ukraine, I'd recommend Vlad Vexler's video of how to critique Chomsky and strongly recommend Stephen Kotkin's interviews on the war in Ukraine. Yes, Kotkin depicts the freedoms in the west in warmer tones than I would, but his critique of the arguments similar to those of professor Chomsky, seem to be very much on point. Although they have worded it better, I will try to counter professor Chomsky here myself. From his stance he seems uncaring for the sufferings of the victims in Ukraine and doesn't seem to want the Ukrainians to have a say in their own fate. President Zelensky is the one asking for much more military aid than what the west or other countries have given and president Zelensky, by the latest polls in Ukraine, as I understand, has a support of over 90% of the population (before the war he had support of less than 30%). Unless the war is a huge media fabrication at a scale that is bigger than that of the Covid pandemic described by antivaxers, this much seems clear - Ukraine is asking for the weapons, the west is stalling and trying to buy ground for Putin - wanting to cave in to Russian claims on Ukraine's territory, in fear of the nuclear war or other consequences. Perhaps Chomsky has some other sources, but I think they would need to be made more open for validity checking than they are in the interviews with him that I've seen. On the war in Ukraine Chomsky seems to take the position very similar to Oliver Stone - analogous to someone protecting the interests of a rapist or a wife-beater. The invasion of Ukraine seems to be the fault of Ukrainians deluding themselves about having a free will separate from Russia and the fault of the west "flirting" with Ukraine. Chomsky's view seems to be that because Putin is capable of that much harm he should have the right to perform horrendous invasions to other countries and west should not help the victims defend themselves. Seriously, how different are Chomsky's sources on what is happening in Ukraine from mine that he has reached an opinion that seems as the one I have described? They are definitely always different, but from where does he gather that in the interest of peace we should let criminals do what they want and let them win by invading other countries? Does he have sources that indicate that it is better to negotiate with an aggressor from a submissive position than from a dominant position? Professor Chomsky seems to be practicing some "double speak" on us. I am confused. Is Russia so strong that we should let it just invade other countries in fear of it's nuclear capacities, or is it so obviously weak that it will definitely not invade any further if Ukraine just lets it have some of it's territory. I am not one to equate Putin with a certain past aggressor, but this strategy seems horribly similar to the groveling done by western powers before Germany at the start of WWII, supporting it's claims in the territories of neighboring countries with not much thought for those falling victim.

Chomsky said that it was up to the US to do all it can through diplomatic means, then it's up to Ukraine to go that rought or not. That is clearly giving Ukraine agency. Chomsky laying out how we got to this point which includes US provocation with NATO expansion is not him condoning the invasion. Did you even listen to the inteview? Or are you so thoroughly propagandized that you listened to the words yet can still type out this bull shit comment.

@@joshbell5387 I must admit I responded to a Chomsky video I haven't watched thoroughly, but have watched others, so perhaps there is something significant in this one, but from what I watched he seems quite consistent with the previous interviews with him I have watched. I am not denying the significance of his insight and learning, especially on how we got to this point, but he has said things lately, especially on Ukraine, that make me suspect he has a world view tilted by his ideological beliefs or by being an American and it has begun to affect his judgement to a greater degree. It doesn't seem to come down to false information, although I don't know where he got the information that westerners are somehow forcefully sending military technology to Ukraine. From the Eastern parts of Europe it seems clear (whatever "clear" means at a time of war) that western leaders really want to avoid sending it, while Ukraine and the neighboring countries are rallying for it. Western leaders seem more dependent on Russian money or connections. American leaders seem to have a mutually beneficial relationship with many dictators. A view seems plausible that Putin has found a way of benefiting from that and counting on such mutual colonialist understandings. I admit i haven't watched the full video, but I don't think that disqualifies me too much, because I've seen Chomsky discounting and discrediting other people (Slavoj Žižek, Jordan Peterson) very casually as well. I'd say more casually and arrogantly than I have ever done with his views. Because I have not seen the video fully, I am hesitant to dismiss Chomsky's ideas of negotiation fully, but I've watched a few giving that argument. Only instances that I've seen the argument for "giving Putin a golden bridge out" presented convincingly are those where it is acknowledged that Ukraine and the west should have a dominant position. Yanis Varoufakis seemed to argue that position convincingly in an interview with him I watched. Unfortunately, without giving military aid to Ukraine that dominant position seems problematic. Let us not forget that this is not Putin's first military excursion. He has learned to win from even catastrophic military actions, shooting down civilian planes, murdering people with outlawed radioactive substances in western countries. What kind of diplomatic settlement would make him finally decide that "this is wrong"? Almost any peace from which he can get big enough of a "win" out of, would almost certainly mean he'll start preparing for a next attack somewhere. Russian people seem to rally behind him with every war. Sacrificing Russian lives and being sanctioned doesn't seem to do anything. The problem with negotiations carried by western leaders seems to be that westerners live in totally different frames of reference and they don't understand what a "loss" would mean for people in Russia or Putin. We can't say people near Russia "understand" them, but it does appear we see Putin's game better, and many of us are quite fearful of western leaders negotiating with Russia. They seem overly willing to sacrifice people that are not them to Putin, out of ignorance or for perhaps for some other benefits. New applications to NATO seem very understandable from countries near Russia. I will watch more of the interview with Chomsky. Perhaps he has some great insight on this I have somehow missed in other videos. On Ukraine he thus far seems too aligned with the view Russian and Chinese propaganda seems to be pushing. The aim seems to be to accept or validate Russian colonialist aspirations - if America invades countries, Russia should be allowed too seems to be the argument. Neighboring countries disapprove.

I don't agree Udo. Both Kotkin and Vexler start from an anti-Russian bias. Chomsky employs reason and critical historical analysis to present a balanced and fair view with a wider knowledge of the facts of U.S. foreign policy. Too the Russian, Ukraine, NATO conflict is not new to Chomsky he has been speaking on its critical importance presciently at least for the last decade if not longer.

Is this guy still peddling bad ideas?

About Ukraine, best scenario for it is to shrink to the size of Lviv region, Russia will take Kharkov Odessa, Dnepropetrovsk, Nikolaev (whatever communist gave away, it will take back)will not be surprised if some regions will go to Belorussia

This don’t make any sense.. USA England is for continuing the war ?? Really ?? By using Ukrainia to do it ? For us ?? That’s bad politics. But anything posibile

I don’t understand how someone can say that the US has surrounded Russia and aggressively put missiles on its border in two states and is now supporting a Nazi state to do it again and has provoked Russia into this and then blames Russia for finally invading Ukraine after Ukraine and the US refused to negotiate and listen to their concerns. I don’t see how they had any other choice if they want to exist so I wish people of reason would be consistent in their reasoning and stop blaming Russia.
