    oh yea? and where is your source then? and on what? Russian invasion? or the genocide? you are defending a guy who hung out with epstein on his little plane.

    He is not your friend.

      Chomsky sat on an airplane, and criticized NYT reporting on atrocities in Cambodia.

      Neither are bad acts.

      His position on the Russian invasion is a standard leftist position, which includes a proper criticism of US imperialism and NATO expansion as antecedents of the war, in contrast to the US nationalist position of demonizing and blaming Putin, while also denying or glorifying US and NATO expansion.

      Your information is not accurate, and your judgments are not thoughtful.

        ah yes ofcourse - Evil nato expansion is why russia had to “defend itself”

        which is not a “standard leftist talking point”. it’s a standard tankie point. Nato expansion was very very wanted. polands entire foreign policy was around getting it. US didnt even wanna expand.

        problem with that point is simple. It’s not a reason to invade and kill people. US is bad yes, but why the fuck is US bad when Russia invades? it’s an excuse for war. excuse for imperialism.

        Looks like I gave up explaining tho 🤷 at this point I dont think either of us were trying. Enjoy thinking chomsky is worth defending.
