Russia-Ukraine war: Noam Chomsky on 'the most dangerous point ... (The Australian Financial Review)

One of the world's most cited living scholars, now 93, says the climate catastrophe and the threat of nuclear war leave him more worried than ever.

“Brexit was a very serious error, it means that Britain will be compelled to drift even further into subordination to the US,” he tells me. What does it mean for the Conservative Party? I imagine they can lie their way out of it, they’re doing a good job of lying about a lot of things and getting away with it.” Well, that’s the hope for the future.” That’s a death warrant to the species.” One way, the fashionable way in the West, is to plumb the recesses of Putin’s twisted mind and try to determine what’s happening in his deep psyche. “I can remember listening to Hitler’s speeches on the radio. If it’s possible to break out of the propaganda bubble for a few minutes, the US has a long record of undermining and destroying democracy. But the backdrop is the war in Ukraine – a subject about which Chomsky is unsurprisingly voluble. Iran in 1953, Guatemala in 1954, Chile in 1973, on and on … But we are supposed to now honour and admire Washington’s enormous commitment to sovereignty and democracy. He is a walking advertisement for Dylan Thomas’s injunction, “Do not go gentle into that good night” – or for what Chomsky calls “the bicycle theory: if you keep going fast, you don’t fall off”. “The first article that I wrote for the elementary school newspaper was on the fall of Barcelona [in 1939],” Chomsky recalls when we speak via video call. At the age of 93, as perhaps the world’s most cited living scholar, Chomsky could be forgiven for retreating from the public sphere.

Speaking about the people starving in Afghanistan, Chomsky held the US responsible for the situation, saying that it has “kept Afghanistan’s funds in New York banks and will not release them.” I didn’t understand the words, I was six years old. Chomsky termed the ongoing war in Ukraine as “monstrous”. Condemning Russian President Vladimir Putin’s actions in Ukraine, he said, “Why did he do it? But I understood the mood. Painting a bleak picture of former US president Donald Trump’s possible return, the US professor said, “I can remember listening to Hitler’s speeches on the radio. And not in the remote future…

"Well, that’s the hope for the future.” That’s a death warrant to the species," Chomsky said, although he stressed that he has not abandoned optimism. Chomsky, however, blames the broader anti-science dogma that has overtaken the Republican Party on former President Donald Trump, whose single term in the White House was in part defined by the gutting of environmental protections.
