As usual, Chomsky nails it. I served as a medical corpsman in Vietnam during the Tet Offensive. This was when the brass said they "could see the light at the end of tunnel." But the wounded, months before the Tet Offensive, told me the war was over in military terms. The NVA just refused to give up despite the terrible casualties we inflicted on them because we had superior air power.. Chomsky's a national treasure despite how the corporate MSM has marginalized him for his insights. He should have awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace long ago. I really admire him.

Thank you, brother. i've checked and rechecked what Chomsky has said and written for decades, at least what i can get a hold of, and, as implausible as it sounds, he has never been wrong. ... He's a prime example, for all of us, of how to deal with problems. He simply doesn't allow emotions to interfere with rational thought. He works from the information he has available. And he gets that information from the fact that he reads everything! Plus the fact he has a remarkable memory.

Sorry sweety you are not British. You are a lady of Afro descent and as such you do not carry our DNA. That being my grandfather's DNA that led to him lying to the British army he was 16 when he was only 15. Alongside his Lancashie "pals" regiment he fought, killed and witnessed his buddies being blown to pieces. At just 16 he was in charge of two horses "tommy" and "mary" and his job was to get the gun carriage to the front lines. At the end of WWI he refused to allow his horses to be sold for horse meat at the local French market. He saved them from the auction resulting in them being shipped back to England. This is the type of honour and integrity that is in our English DNA. If you hate what the British did what is your guilt about the actions of your ancestors in the 16th Century when barbary coast pirates sailing down the English channel raided English ports to enslave mainly fair haired, blue eyed women? This form of slavery pre-dates that of the Europeans shipping black Africans off to the Americas. This historical truth is never mentioned in this woke and insanely PC world.

@@kevinjohnson9533 Great comment. I think the point needs to be made that "cost" 2 trillion dollars means the American people put up $2Tr which then goes straight to corporations, apart from military wages, which in turn means that $2Tr worth of the labour of the American people (minus military wages) has been forcibly handed over to corporations, which, again, in turn means that the American people have been enslaved, to the tune of $2Tr, by corporations. This is the real meaning of the Orwellian concept of 'permanent war'.

He is a great scholar we admire him for his views

Gold!

I've read Chomsky for 30 years. He's spot on which is unusual considering he's a professor of linguistics at MIT. Government has wasted a valuable resource by not having him in every cabinet the 90 yrs he's been around.

One of the most cherished minds who speaks truth. Raised above himself love u Noam Chomsky

Does anyone know what Chomsky refers to around 8:45 in terms of recent U.S. leaks regarding Rumsfeld's remarks?

Noam Chomsky, explain things so easily understood by us mortals; a truly humanistic human being.

Do a group of young men take advice from a old looner ? They dont ( in any situation) .

People know, that's what hurts.
