- Noam Chomsky: “We’re approaching the most dangerous point in human history”
US professor, Noam Chomsky now 93, joins George Eaton to discuss the Ukraine Russia War, the climate catastrophe, Keir Starmer's Labour Party, Brexit, and much more.
“It’s monstrous for Ukraine,” he said. In common with many Jews, Noam Chomsky has a family connection to the region: his father was born in present-day Ukraine and emigrated to the US in 1913 to avoid serving in the tsarist army; his mother was born in Belarus. Chomsky, who is often accused by critics of refusing to condemn any anti-Western government, unhesitatingly denounced Vladimir Putin’s “criminal aggression”.
Noam Chomsky is also still engaged by British politics. “Brexit was a very serious error, it means that Britain will be compelled to drift even further into subordination to the US,” he told me. “I think it’s a disaster. 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.”

My God, Noam... I've got a treatment for aging due out next year. No offense intended but I'll send you some in advance. Contact me, For real
Let’s see. I get no choice but to expect no choice between global warming and nuclear winter. 🤔 Or maybe total mass extinction from the carbonization of the planet. As a good friend once said , “Bop ‘till you drop.” 😀
@@charlesalexander2492 you have understood our world, it seems. Thank you. Honestly.
Since Greenpeace is an organization not a company, can one be a CEO there?
No "um", no hesitations, no searching for the right word! Just a flow of intelligent and thoughtful recall. Oh that I had his clarity of mind. Noam Chomsky is a treasure to humanity.
What a life. He's been doing this since '68. He never stops. What a mind and what a spirit.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Imagine a world where its Chomsky who gets 100s of millions of viewers instead of the Kardashians.
sure: but he seems oblivious to the deliberate dumbing-down-of america, since decades and decades ago...
Kar who?
This - very true
- comment on society made me feel even more depressed…
Who are the Kardashians?
This comment made me cry
Chomsky is like a freaking encyclopedia.
I love that man.
I came across Chomsky in the 1970s and he was a unique voice back then. To have remained authentic is truly admirable! I congratulate the interviewer for his skill in letting Mr. Chomsky speak!
Bs only lies ! What about biden? Who is destroing peace, democracy. Econony , religion ,humanity etc
He said the Ukraine will be destroyed, he was the only one who said that. Our press today in Germany says: Half of the nature reserves in Ukraine have been destroyed. Groups of Animals are threatened.
More in detail: Thomas Tennhardt, Director of NABU for International Affairs. Above all, Ukraine is characterized by steppe ecosystems, of which the country has the most in all of Europe. Of these, over 60% have currently suffered severe damage.
In addition, it is about the wetlands on the Azov Sea and the Black Sea coast. These are among the most important in the world, 14 of which have already been destroyed. There was one of the rare colonies of Dalmatian pelicans there. Colonies of sandwich terns with up to 60,000 breeding pairs or 3,000 breeding pairs of fish gulls could also be found there. "We have to assume that they were completely destroyed," Tennhardt fears.
@@anjaoldnettle2841 How depressing, but thank you for that detail.
@@anjaoldnettle2841 Thank you for that info.
Everybody listening: "exactlyyyy! Thank you prof. Chomsky "
We are so blessed to have this man amongst us and willing to continue to educate whoever is willing to listen. He has been one of my most important mentors and greatest teachers over my past 50 years. To anyone new to this extraordinary human being please do yourselves a favor and go back and listen to any of his lectures or read any of his books. Like so many, I love this man. 🌹

Even in the age of Biden, Noam Chomsky favours the "Orange Man Bad" -narrative as a starting point. I laughed out loud, and left.
@@vrfvfdcdvgtre2369 I thought it odd too but if you persevered, that intro served to remind the listeners that this is what US politics and policies are about: whether democrat or republican, all are denialists. All have been leading their country and the world towards a catastrophe. This man has been and is still as sharp as an academician should be and more.
To be honest he sounds brainwashed with anti-western propaganda. There's zero balance in his points, just constant anti-western narratives. Am sure it sells plenty of books though.
Big fan of Chomsky. But not putting him on a pedestal. In fact, if we WW3 from here, I will forever be angry at Chomsky. He knew Trump had the correct foreign policy, with similar views shared between the the both of them. Yet 'orange man bad' attacks and ridiculous claims about Trump to appease he's peers will forever tarnish my views on Chomsky.
My deepest respect Mr
Chomsky.
Thank you
Thanks for having Noam on
Thanks for watching!
Climate Emergency and Inequality and the believe in nuclear weapons is scaring.
thank you for the interview !
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you Noam Chomsky
A free man with the moral compass that stand the corruption of fame . May you have a long life
... RIGHT! Just adding three exclamation marks to this statement !!!
Why politicians don't listen to people like Pro. Chomsky? Couldn't be said more comprehensively and more transparent... these are the people which everyone needs to listen to in are time and get some idea about how wrong and dangerous world leaders are. Thank you so much Professor.
Politicians have a different agenda
For one thing, he is a socialist, like Einstein, Orwell, Gandhi, and the Dalai Lama. Politicians *hate* those guys in the USA.. At least, right wingers do, and alot of centrists too. (The exception being Orwell. But right wingers claim he wasn't a socialist at all- complete denial. Excerpting Orwell's _Why I Write_ :
"Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism... And the more one is conscious of one’s political bias, the more chance one has of acting politically without sacrificing one’s aesthetic and intellectual integrity... When I sit down to write a book, I do not say to myself, ‘I am going to produce a work of art’. I write it because there is some lie that I want to expose, some fact to which I want to draw attention, and my initial concern is to get a hearing."
...you got you hearing, George.
What Mr Chomsky is stating has been known to those in power over twenty years ago and we are past the point of no return,but the elites want to depopulate the planet,and their agenda is on schedule to kill 3 billion people of preventable disease and hunger in the next ten to twenty years,so to control everyone through corporations
A lot of congress have stock in military & energy that go up when there is war, and they sort have a "insider trading" advantage because they knew beforehand that their policies will lead to war.
@@noahedelson3618 Let's offer a course on Western/liberal marriage:
Lesson #1: Don't ever argue with your wife because that is emotional abuse and she will call the police and accuse you of hurting her. Police don't need any evidence to arrest you, so enjoy your stay in prison. Lesson #2: Don't you ever dare to deny your wife having sex with others. You don't own her. If you're a real man, you'll actually help her find a boyfriend or two and let them use your bed while you sleep on the couch. Lesson #3: Be fair to each other, but remember, she can accuse you of abuse at any time and destroy your life Lesson #5: If your spouse wants to change "their" gender, don't argue. Just be happy for "them," you transphobe. Lesson #6: Want a divorce? Don't want a divorce? Doesn't matter. She can leave you for any reason or no reason at all. She gets to take at least half your wealth, custody of your children, and you pay all her legal fees. She might even end up living with her boyfriends in the house you bought, with your kids.
through the legal system. Lesson #4: Your wife is a tilth for all men (and women). They will use her as they please. Enjoy your married celibacy
A very eye-opening interview, and from a person that has been on the surface of this planet for far longer than most of us, who is actually coherent and of sound mind and capacity enough to be able to give some useful perspectives in todays crazy climate. Just wow.

I salute you for interviewing Noam Chomsky. I have been reading/listing to his interviews for more than 40 years. I am heartened to listen to him articulating so directly the backstory to reported circumstances. Thank you for posting this video.
Thanks for watching!
he is a delight to listen to but this is my first time seeing a current interview of him and i must say it seems he has let himself go a bit... lol

Thank you for interviewing this wonderful man. We need to hear much more from him and much less from our corrupt politicians.
Glad you value the interview!
Agreed. I took up a U.S. history course at the Uni, and he is not even mentioned in our course material (written by U.S. authors), which I find very illogical because it's political and social history, and many other intellectuals and their works are often mentioned. But luckily, we have an entire IP course dedicated solely to Chomsky and the study of his linguistic and political works. This man is extraordinary.
There are two kinds of people in the world. The ones who have properly listened to Chomsky and those who haven't.
It took me 40 years to hear Chomsky. It's not a happy experience given the message is one that punctures all the smug propaganda we usually hear, but it was a vitally important one in helping me actually understand the world.
If you don't know what you are fighting, you are going to lose. And we lose now, we lose everything and forever.
there are THREE kinds of people in the world. Those that can do math. And those that can't. so big corporations exploit that. so.
So what are you going to do about it? If you can get a remote job southeast asia & certain areas of latin america are great to move to, even although their GDP is low (fake number which includes military spending, and all kinds of useless spending, inflated for older populations) .
If we had more people such as Noam, this planet would be a better one.
Definitely not Bosnians.
incredible! I always look for Chomsky on his views. He is never led astray by opinion or agenda, and is always dispassionate, objective, factual and full of reason and probity. I really needed this splash of cold water to understand what is happening in Ukraine. Thank you. I always appreciate his commentary.
Too bad he leans on his left foot...

Telling it like it is . . . you are and always have been a very courageous person Noam. Thank you.
We are living in a dangerous and difficult world and thankyou Noam Chomsky.
We all owe a debt of gratitude to Noam in his golden years and should aspire to continue to embody his tireless struggle to promote justice, peace and survival for humanity
Naom so happy you still have your voice to teach the young Keep on keeping on wise man.
The wisest intellectual in our time. May he live long enough to save our world 🌎
Little of what comes from the mind is finally useful. The heart may be a better place to dwell if one cares for the earth.
It seems as if he is underplaying the cyberwar Putin has waged in recent years
helping PUT IN Trump in the 1st place .
Let us look at France's election tomorrow....
Will we see Le Penne PUT IN by Putin ?
How many Putinuppets do we have NOW ?
Where does it end ? Perhaps that is why
( As recently as a few weeks ago) Trump was still calling Putin a genius ! If agent
orange ( sorry Spike Lee ) was an actual
CREATION of Putin's , what does that say about the toxicity of Putin ? Just please go back to 7/16/18 in Helsinki and have a GOOD LOOK at the way the 6'3" Trump is OWNED by the 5'7" Putin. WAKE UP NOAM
! Putin has beat us at our own game & you continue to turn a blind eye to the new facts of life .....
Yeah if we let Putin do whatever he likes it's much safer (for us, for now), that's true.

I love Chomsky's seemingly increasing crankiness in interviews over the past few years: 'I'm 300 years old, I don't have time for your bullshit'. It's rather refreshing.
Great Respect .. God Bless
Thanks…amazing interview
Thank you so much for this insightful interview with this brilliant man. I only wish there could be many,many more men such as MR.Chomsky.
Senil old men... Better keep your mouth shut up😊
there are. 50% of mothers in the US and Canada, did not see the point of it. Their kids had it, they got over it.. why all the mandates. Mandated profits for our new leaders. Blackrok, #phyzordidnothingwrong
If anyone wants to be educated about world politics listen/watch sir Noam Chomsky. We are blessed to have him. Love and respect from bottom of my heart for him.
May I be so sharp and aware at 93.
Respect 🤝
The older we get, the more risks we can take❤️
But the risks also get riskier themselves. Simply because the body ages.

Awesome interview! Thanking you.
Brilliant interview!
This is a revealing perspective of what is currently happening in the West from the renowned 93-year-old philosopher, linguist, and political activist. Noam is always direct and to the point!
Geriatric buffoon .! Somebody put him out of his misery . It's becoming embarrassing..
If we are to be true to Chomsky's logic, Greece, if it wants to feel secure, should disarm and leave NATO. Then it will not irritate Turkey and will keep the peace. Interestingly, nobody serious in Greece thinks this way, and Greece has the highest armament expenditure per capita in the world. But Ukraine would be expected to resign itself to its fate and not seek support from the powerful West that the leftist pundits hate so much. So, no, Chomsky's vision isn't revealing or wise.
Yeah......he's " direct and to to the point " .........and completely deluded .
A genius, a teacher, a truth teller… Chomsky is a master
of deobfuscation, a sane voice
in a mad world.
He's a diseased drug pusher for phizer.
He seems very biased and close-minded, lol.
Deobfuscation? That's either a made up word or so twisted that it is deliberately obscure.
"deobfuscation" 🤣 thats a perfect word for what Chomsky does! He is truly a master of it.
But he's probably as insane as the rest of us.
@@aus-li Thank you
Truly remarkable mind and a special human being.
I love you professor Noam Chomsky!
You make me gag. Talk about brainwashed.
An incredible man , ❤️
A great interview, always good to hear Noam speak.
In the face of the war in Ukraine, Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein and Janis Warufakis have decided to repeat the theses that are at the heart of Russian propaganda. According to them, NATO is responsible for the conflict, Ukrainians cannot decide for themselves, and a buffer state must be created from their homeland. In this way, part of the Western left went morally and factually bankrupt, to the applause of an equally ignorant public, vide the comments under the video. I was a Chomsky fan for years, until he expressed admiration for the Cambodian Red Khmers. Now he has confirmed that he is as ignorant on Eastern issues as the former Western colonisers were of the "uncivilised" nations from which they felt superior.
Thanks, glad you liked it

TV Commando Z would be a true statesman if he would negotiate a modus vivend with Mr. Putin for a peaceful, prosperous, NEUTRAL Ukraine including giving freedom to those in the Donbas who do not want to be part of his regime. Want a real people's struggle in Ukraine? Let Mr. Zelensky pick up where the Kronstadt Sailors' Rebellion for true industrial deomvracy not Biden capitalism instad of Putin capitalism left off when it was crushed by the Bolsheviks in 1921.

Is this the same Noam Chomsky who at 93, and barely a week before Russia launched the war on Ukraine, was still declaring that a Russian invasion was "highly unlikely"?

For all of the criticism of the West, and sadly, much of it valid and true, I trust it is not lost on Mr Chomsky that he is free to say all of this and to speak his mind. Politics is not about and never will be about, the welfare of humanity.
I'm sure it is not lost on him. And I'm sure he understands that last remark to but God Almighty somebody has to say it. And hope that we will be here. Somebody has to stand up and say it. You have to at least try to say it.
You have the remarkable gift of being able to convey succinctly and pointedly political truths that are the blind spots in our politicians.

No one is more coherent in explaining both contemporary and historical world events in the context of government policy than Noam Chomsky. His knowledge, recall, and analysis is simply unmatched.

Great interview, as more I listen to Mr. Noam Chomsky more I realize that humanity needs a resource-based economy written by Jacque Fresco.
wait, big fan of Chomsky- but that sounds like crazy talk to me. The fault is mine, probably. RBE = dependent on oil, lumber, etc for GDP? Qatar and Iran recently said they are running out of oil. Peak oil might be asymptotic..llike y=tan(-x) and besides, its dirty. What am I missing?
The threats to peace at the moment are many. Extinctions abound? Thank you for continuing to speak up Noam
Extinctions abound. The world is nearing the most dangerous time in world history--the time, pretty soon now, when Noam Chomsky goes extinct.

…Calling this very man ‘the modern Socrates’ has never been some kind of an empty mediatic formula.
With the US "free press" why did I have to stumble across this perspective via my sister's six minute video about how to make your own soy yogurt? Our press is becoming a joke! Noam Chomsky has been one of our greatest minds for decades. Why aren't more journalists talking to him?
This guy Noam C. is a crank. Never understand why anyone listens to him. A crank.
Mr. Chomsky may be too old for civil disobedience in the sense of taking action, but his insightful analysis of the situation in the world should be broadcast extensively; perhaps those who can will act as a result.

Not as long as the majority imagine that politicians, in any way, call the shots. The mother of stupid is always pregnant, thanks mostly to mass-organised "education," now honed to an almost perfect science, that results in self-alienation, and perpetual infantilisation.
A great interview Noam Comsky is a great voice of democratic and freedom loving people aspiring to secure a peaceful future for the world.
I found the interviewer to be very painful to listen to, particularly his voice and tactless questioning, and I reckon he was getting to Noam as well, i.e. "I don't understand the question", but ever the softly spoken gentleman he is, continued to talk and share his great knowledge and wisdom with those of us that are lucky enough to hear...

WOW!!!!!! CHomsky got right down to business in his first sentence!
Words of wisdom and truth from a truly wise man but will the corrupt politicians listen
No, and the people neither.
"The Planet is Fine... The People Are F&@$*%!!!"

The planet is not fine . It is warming at a disastrous rate . Look it up .

49:00 He was interested in world history as a child and now. You see how well-read he is and the world needs more people who see the historical contexts.
Thank you, Chomsky! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Love. Admiration. Respect.
That's not enough. Add 2 more "thank you's"
@@shymeeee You are right, my bad! (1) Thank you! (2) Thank you!
Great mind. Great thoughts.
That was truly disconcerting and depressing but important for us all to be informed about.
Makes everything feel futile and that truth to power is unobtainable.
"we prefer to talk about other things, but that is the overriding concern". So the guy goes on to ask him a question on an unrelated topic instead of continuing to talk about what he said was "the overriding concern".
Chomsky's doomerism is about his own death. He's depressed because he's going to die soon. Every single thing the man has said in the past few years has been doom-laden. Those of us who are not planning to die anytime soon need to be positive and hopeful, even in the face of threats.
wow so glad this man is given a platform! hes such a brilliant mind
I didnt know he was still alive.
For sure, he is of better advice than many in Washington DC.
