Campaign for Peace, Disarmament & Common Security
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 5 ม.ค. 2022
Founded in 2017, The Campaign for Peace, Disarmament and Common Security advocates for peace and nuclear disarmament with justice. Our priorities include working for nuclear weapons abolition and common security diplomacy among the great powers. CPDCS serves as a bridge between peace and nuclear disarmament movements in U.S., Asia, and Europe and contributes to intersectional organizing.
WHERE ARE WE NOW? And What Does It Mean For Our Movements?
It happened. By hewing to closely to the unpopular Biden and his policies, combined with the forces of lost cause white supremacy, oligarch’s money and heartless ambitions, economic uncertainty, and misogyny Trump’s and Project 2025’s agendas will be coming hard at us. Yet, as Tom Nichols wrote in the immediate aftermath of the calamitous vote, “Democracy is Not Over…We have work to do". What are the implications for immigrants, for the world disorder and the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, and for our economy?

Thank you Noam Chomsky ❤
i think both peoples have been deeply wounded by the wider world and that blame should go to the military industrial complex, rejection and discrimination of both Jews and Palestinians historically and fear of each other from the beginning. Israel has been targeted from its inception and the Palestinians have been used by the Arab Nations to get rid of Israel. Israel has been increasingly treating Palestinians horribly, due to its fear and learned hatred coming from Palestinian violence. Their retribution has been beyond horrific, causing more hatred against each group. The answer is to demand that Israel ceasefire and the international community work to meet the needs of both Palestinians and Israelis for peace, justice, food, health, housing, water and necessary resources. Without that the cycle of hatred and war will continue.
Hate is the only outcome of a war..

Can’t blame Taiwan for not being interested in becoming a part of china…. china has become an international pariah and has a very unattractive political system. Taiwan is superior to china in every way… why would they want to devolve backwards towards the china-way? If propel from china visited Taiwan - maybe they would go back to china and encourage china to evolve into a better nation with a more evolved political system.
💛🙏 Thank you, Dr. Chomsky.
What a jerk.
Every day people die and there is no indication they ever 'come back' or emerge from death back to any kind of life. So when we die, it's as if the whole world dies. For the dead, the whole world does die with them. So why do we care about the future of life on earth? Well because of our own children - that's the obvious answer. But they will die one day too. So where does this obsession with the continuation of human life come from? To me it's irrational. I don't care if nuclear war wipes me out or if it's a heart attack. So I say to those mad people with itchy fingers on the nuclear button...do your worst. I don't give a damn. Sod the human race.

Thank you for posting this very relevant discussion on our multi-polar world. An eye opener indeed. Congratulations to all the speaker and for the Campaign for Peace, Disarmement and Common Security for organizing this.
1:01:46 it would be nice if someone from the panel made even a half-hearted attempt to accurately and fairly articulate this general perspective on the war before declaring it to be incorrect and immoral. i think it is distasteful and glaringly cheap to strawman and summarily dismiss the views of serious people like richard sakwa, ivan katchanovski, geoffrey roberts, david hendrickson, john mearsheimer, stephen walt, norman finkelstein, benjamin schwarz, christopher layne, noam chomsky, the late stephen cohen, et al.
34:24 this is what i’m talking about. blithely telling professor chomsky that her father’s claims about US-led sabotage of peace negotiations are “crazy” and that “there is not a shred of evidence” to support them. so, either A. rajan was completely unfamiliar with what n. chomsky and other credible foreign policy critics have actually said about this-in which case he should simply admit he has not done his homework (articles on the topic had been widely circulated and debated by the time this was recorded) and decline to comment on the substance of the question or B. rajan was familiar with the evidence n. chomsky et al. have adduced to make this case, but he is so contemptuous of the critics/views in question that he felt well within his rights intellectually and professionally to lie about it what’s especially galling is that, in the time since this was recorded, even more evidence-including detailed statements from participants in the march-april 2022 negotiation process such as former israeli prime minister naftali bennett-have come out which corroborate the “crazy hypothesis” that is mockingly dismissed here by our trio of esteemed experts
excellent discussion, thanks for this. i really appreciate that you eschewed the standard format for these things-ie tedious and bland speaker “presentations” (which are just papers read drearily aloud) with q&a/panelist exchange tacked on as an (assertively moderated/curated) afterthought-and that you instead went straight to q&a with ample time allotted for nuanced answers. the host moderated smartly, with restraint, allowing for panelists to dispute each other’s comments but stepping in when necessary to ensure no one got bowled over and everyone had an opportunity to say their piece. forgive the effusive comment, but i’ve listened to many hours now of scholarly/journalistic events like this on the ukraine war and 90% of it is completely worthless-not necessarily because the content/information is bad, but because one would be much better off just reading the monologue presentations as articles and the speakers never substantively engage with challenging, interesting questions nor are they taken to task by someone with a competing point of view
that said, i was slightly disappointed that helena demurred at 1:19:32 . she and michael were both making compelling points and it would have been edifying to see where the argument might have led had they sustained the exchange a bit longer
if someone breaks into my house and kills my family I'm not going to sit down negotiate! Would you? Wouldn't you defend yourself and call the police? So why Chomsky and his friends are asking Ukraine to negotiate with the murderer? What kind of peace would that be? It's dishonest to ask Ukraine to give up its land for the sake of peace to a murderer who would then invade his other neighbours. Come on and be honest in your thinking.
I'd like people better if it was clear Kruschev wanted nukes in Cuba to make its sovereignty invulnerable, and if we had nukes in many places to make the sovereignty of those places invulnerable. In other words, to be a guard against invasion of the weak by the strong. But the various reasons for these nuke deployments probably do not include the elimination of unilateral/multilateral invasion as a tool of the strong. Ukraine? Putin shows willingness to employ invasion and annexation, and the West resists without exressing anything like a principle that the strong should not be allowed to invade the weak. Negotiate with Putin? He probably would love a cease fire now or a peace deal that confirmed Russian possession of some face saving territory. But his heroes are imperial czars and a poet-philosopher that said Russia should take as much territory as it could between the East and the West. And Putin has said that Russia has a right to expand and Ukraine belongs to Russia. So, his aim, any cease fire or peace deal or not, is to sooner or later by one means or another control Kiev.
How the mighty have fallen. Not a mention of any preconditions for "peace" negotiations. Contrast this with what Chomsky said in 1971, about the US invasion of Vietnam. I have replaced with "Vietnam" with "Ukraine", and "US" with "Russia". It seems that Chomsky only supports self-determination and resistance to invasion to countries invaded by the US. "As to negotiations, there is, in fact, very little to negotiate. As long as a Russian army of occupation remains in Ukraine, the war will continue. Withdrawal of Russian troops must be a unilateral act, as the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian government was a unilateral act in the first place. Those who had been calling for “negotiations now” were deluding themselves and others, just as those who now call for a cease-fire that will leave a Russian expeditionary force in Ukraine are not facing reality..."
Thank you, I find Chomskys beating around the bush and his implied stwnce that we need to comply with Russia's bullying. Sure appeasement saved Jewish life 80 years ago, right?
China's proposal was a shame to China itself.
@@rock801 Um, the U.S. defense industry needs to have an enemy, or if not an enemy, a reason to spend big money on defense. The U.S. have been prompting Russia to do this for quite a while. We could have ended it very quickly with negotiations, but the U.S. wouldn't even listen to it. If you want to get educated, get educated. You can do that by listening to all of the interviews and lectures of Noam Chomsky. Learn about our U.S. imperialism starting with the slaughtering of 200,000 Filipinos in order to expand our trade route to Asia back around 1900, and go on from there. Please don't leave out the corporate coup to remove FDR in the Thirties.
@@rational-public-discourse Yeah, you should get educated. The Russian imperial ambitions to have a land bridge to Crimea has been evident for some time. Read a history book and try and understand how Russian Imperialism has been dominating this area for centuries, with its height being under Soviet rule. Instead of running cover for imperialist's, try and understand why a people wish to be free.
@@defenstrator4660 I would rather trust what Noam has to say. He not only read quite a few, but he also wrote them.
More people need to listen!
Blessings and peace to all who have mistakenly followed him. But he still says Oswald acted alone and that the people responsible for the WTC were not the same ones committing crimes against humanity & war crimes (and profiting from them) in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. Do you need to know more? If so, buckle up.
The world needs this man.
Like the world needs Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Lenin, Trotsky, IDI Amin, Nero, Ghengis Khan, Fidel Castro, Che Gueverra, Caesar Chavez, NICLAUS MADURO, Kim.Jong UN, Ho Chi MIHN, Pol Pot, Abdul Nassar, Mosedeq ( Iran) Salvador Allende, ANGOLA, YEMEN, Zimbabwe, the PRC and the USSR.
Quoi? 🤷♀️
The question is... Is the destruction/anhiilation an organic evolution or a planned and managed event?
Chomsky has become a very old man and - as many old man - a stibborn and self - opinionated one whose ideologically driven fanatical hate of capitalism makes him incapable of recognizing that the war in Ukraine is NOT a war fought by the IMPERIALIST capitalist USA against Russia but a brutal colonial war of Putin´s Russia, that has transformed from an authoritarian regime into a totalitarian "fascist - like" Russia.
“Noam need no introduction, blah, blah, blah-foist-blah…” skip to 2:10
I think its pretty obvious that Russia isn’t holding back militarily in Ukraine. The Russian military is just highly incompetent and deeply corrupt.
Is there even any actual evidence that the US was planning on placing nuclear missiles in Ukraine? If not, then how is the war in Ukraine even comparable to the Cuban missile crisis?
