I agree with Chomsky on a lot of things, don’t think I need to watch CNN or read the New York Times to take Ukraine’s side on this one.
The international condemnation and lock step sanctions, is that the media’s doing? Or is it the consequence of Russia being the aggressor? I agree with my sibling, opinions tend to stiffen up when war breaks out, with or without the radio.
It may appear so from the west for someone who is mostly depending upon major Western news sources, but in the larger context, many countries including Israel, Mexico, South Africa, Pakistan and many major Middle Eastern Nations are refusing to join in sanctions or even in trying to condemn Russian actions and is essentially seeing the conflict from a neutral perspective. Condemning Russia and trying to sanction them is not a universal policy among nations.
It is important to remember that Chomsky has repeatedly supported actual genocides so long as the person committing the genocides was anti western in some way.
Dude. This is just not true. He didn't deny genocide. There are many reasons not to like Chomsky. I don't like him as of late. But, genocide-denial isn't one of them.
