To be fair, it's nice to see Morgan can shut up for more than 5 seconds and let someone with an anti-establishment viewpoint talk.
Chomsky is someone who needs to be interrupted at times
Amazing but even Morgan can get things right sometimes.. Chomsky is always worth listening to, people with short attention spans can’t follow his logical trains of thought but for the rest of us it is best to let him talk and show you his thinking.
@@flannelsykes0 Chomsky needs to be listened to and you can learn a lot.
You won't learn anything from Piers we didn't already know.
Chomsky states facts. Not main stream media lies.....
Chomsky is about as anti-establishment as Joe Biden. 😂😂😂
@@flannelsykes0 He needs to be shut up permanently.
Enjoying seeing Piers looking so uncomfortable when confronted with someone way more intelligent and knowledgeable than he is. He's such a bellend.
A bellend is useful Morgan is not..
A paperweight is more intelligent than Morgan. I agree though, about him shutting tfu for a lengthy amount of time. Clearly Morgan knows that he's out of his depth...more so than usual.
I'd say more of the foreskin than the whole bellend, but hey, fundamentally, I'm with you.
👍🏾
Isn't he just... Love Noam xx
Thank God for Chomsky. We need his voice more now than ever.
You call him Chomsky I call him wise Gendalf, I think we both can agree what he has to say in a most part.
Thank Chomsky for Chomsky.
🎉 halELuYAH, i agree.
i mean he also argues that russia is fighting american colonialism in ukraine. I am computer scientist, i know the man is brilliant. But I cant take him seriously when he talks like this.
How in the world can Noam can speak so brilliantly with logic and coherently at his age?
His cognitive skills are just so amazing!1 Never cease to amaze me!! He completely destroyed Piers!!
Because loosing touch isn't a symptom of aging, but rather something that tends to happen.
Easy, he didn’t talk rubbish when he was much younger nor did he get influenced by western media. All he needed was facts. Today’s media is about ratings.
It’s called being healthy. Keeping kosher
Yeah he doesn't pause or use filler words. It's just a steady stream of well constructed sentences.
Because Piers's talk is always scripted, while people like Noam follows the lines of facts not interests. It's that simple, you aren't wired nowhere, not an age-depended something.
Chomsky has gravitas, intellect, brains, respect, etc....
Morgan has a stern face hiding a load of cliches.
Seeing as how rude Piers Morgan usually is to his guests, I'm surprised he let Mr. Chomsky speak.
Because he knows Chomsky would run rings around him.
@@xensonar9652 Exactly. Piers is way out of his depth with Noam who is more than some boring Hollywood celebrity spewing dirty laundry or their latest project.
Morgan tried to do the journalist thing and implied Noam was being soft on China, he just got a straight ‘no I didn’t say that’ and explanation, again, of what he did say.
He genuinely respects Chomsky I would say.
Well he speaks so slow he wouldn’t get an interview if he didn’t
Fair play to Piers Morgan for having Chomsky on and for allowing him to speak with little interruption.
Good for Piers because it would be like a little backward moron interrupting his teacher on every chance he got. 😂
I doubt he understood a word he said!
Apparently, Chomsky only agreed to do the interview after PM agreed to a 'no interruptions' clause. He should bite his lip more often.
@@christianzilla Is That true?
@@wbafc1231 I don't know. I found it in this comments section. It is rumour.
For once, Morgan actually appears to respect a guest and did an interview. He looked like he was gagging to interrupt but managed to contain himself. Not a bad effort.
Morgan couldn't interrupt because he had nothing interlectual to counter the argument. He only seems to shout when he is belittling a woman.
@@cynthiasteer1199 That sums him up, yes.
because he was old lol
He said chomsky was favoring china ignoring the fact that he was favoring US, wtf.😂😂
Morgan lacks a lot of knowledge to interrupt the huge facts Chomsky is presenting. Chomsky is an intellectual in both Linguistics and Political science
Noam Chomsky v Piers Morgan??
Einstein v pea brain😂😂😂😂
Yet one of these is gettin one huge media gig by the billionair bosses after another, embarrassing himself everywhere he goes.
Isnt that a great, meritocratic world we live in, eh ?
More like pedo vs. racist
@@oezibanana8664 That is the point. The media barons put in folks with just above or exactly high average logical intelligence but high linguistic intelligence in high profile media positions. They offer lots of verbiage but little logical analysis.
Good to know you can be seen as an 'Einstein' of geopolitical issues by simply blaming US imperialism for every nefarious thing any non-Western power does. Seeing as he is nearly 95 years old, Chomsky probably won't be alive when the CCP enact their promise to invade Taiwan, but it's good to know that when it happens and hundreds of thousands of free democratic Taiwanese are being killed by an invading Communist force, Chomsky will (in spirit, perhaps) be shaking his fist at the Americans and Western imperialism for everything the Chinese invaders are doing
@@oezibanana8664 Sign of the times.
That first clip us probably the longest I've seen where Piers doesn't interrupt the guest
Hope people listen to the man
Morgan did not understand what Noam was saying. He had his mates Googling like hell
At least he is capable of showing due respect.
He wouldn't fkn dare because he knows he's out of his depth
However all good things must come to an end.
Piers looks very uncomfortable. He looks like he's thinking 'omg, I'm not supposed to be letting him say this ' XD
Yeah😂, sweating bullets
He's thinking 'I better drive this conversation to asking what a woman is fast, because I have no idea what he's saying'
XD
@@m62films-upthenorth 😂
Bollocks! He is letting an old man talk, he hasn’t got much time left
Summed up Morgan when said “you sound very trusting of China” - that’s how his mind works, black and white and no context - Chomsky’s mind simply works on a higher level that can look objectively at a situation without the need to label and categorise
PM knows who pays his bills..
He knows the situation with the Hegemonic Imperialism, he’s part of the elites establishment,
He still has hope/wants a title knighthood ..😁
I guess he’s what we used to call an ‘expert’
Isn't that the position of all you left wing communist.
to be honest it's a way of softballing and I'm glad he did it. I think Piers knew he had to shut up on this one. He's a shill, but he isn't stupid, and part of not being stupid is knowing when shouting over someone isn't going to help you, this is one of those cases.
I don't trust the U.S much more then china
Regardless of whether NATO has ever fought a war in Europe, *NONE* of NATO's wars were defensive, *ZERO!*
Well, so far NATO only fought 3 actual wars (wars where NATO troops were directly involved, excluding any other operations). One as an illegal agressor in Serbis, one in Afghanistan because a NATO member was attacked, and one connected to a UN resolution.
So your statement is not entirely accurate.
@@DeWellstein Afghanistan was _possibly_ justifiable if it was to take out Al Qaeda, but while al Qaeda was there, they were funded by the Saudis and the US _KNEW_ that so it was really the wrong place to bomb, and even if you can consider the initial attack on Afghanistan justifiable, the other 19 3/4 years was a war of aggression. The other fun fact is that al Qaeda was an offshoot of the Mujahedeen that the US supported to fight against the Russians that were legally supporting the Afghan government. What about Libya but maybe you don't think that was an 'actual' war, just a country where NATO for some reason caused a whole lot of people to die?
@@L98fieroéven that IS wrong to bomb Saudi jus because somone decided to fund Al-Qaïda
Chomsky's method of debating (if you can even call it that) is brilliant, he doesn't waste time trying to prove why you are wrong, he presents indisputable evidence and lets viewers decide.
The US maintains >700 military bases in over 80 countries and 11 Carrier based " Strike Groups. To claim that stationing them in the South China Sea is defending the homeland is ludicrous. Imagine the US's reaction to China sending a warship convoy through the Panama canal.
@@RobinOfTheWest The US wouldn`t mess about. It would be all out war, just like the much (for some reason) loved, JFK was prepared to do, when Russia tried to put nukes on Cuban soil.
@@RobinOfTheWest and they say the Chinese are paranoid!
Oh...I missed the evidence and undisputable facts?
Could you just quickly recap the best example for me?
But it's not indisputable. He's misusing statistics like the "best" politicians.
I’m sad to see Chomsky age. This man is a true “humanist”
I'm glad to see Chomsky still with us and still sharp in his very old age.
Unless you were unvaccinated, then you are subhuman according to Noam.
Truth
O dear Piers doesn’t like being told it’s the US expanding its military that’s the problem!!!😉
Julie levinge. I sw a clip of Morgan being asked question about prince harry and he said he said he would keep a dignified silence . Sunglasses on and looking uncomfortable. I bet the clip has been taken down.
The US is maintaining its military, it has been the dominant military power since WW2. It is the CCP/PLA that is expanding its military.
He's too thick to realise that.
It's like watching a university professor talking to a toddler in between the toddler's tantrums
Lol.
That's exactly it! Thanks. Chomsky is Linguistic Royalty. He has two theories Universal Grammar and The Minimalist theory.
That's because it is! lol
🤣🤣🤣
Hahahahah
It was good to see Piers getting schooled... unfortunately I don't think he'll take anything from the lesson ...
Morgan is an intellectual amoeba in this guy’s company. Hence his complete bewilderment when presented with the facts. Morgan is a much better interviewer when he remains silent.
Much better if he never turned up. He was out of his depth here.
OMG I just listened to the complete piers - chomsky interview.
Chomsky presumably was able to impose ano interruption clause before agreeing to the interview.
The greater surprise was that PM is actually capable of conducting an almost decent interview. Who knew?
In a sense that's worse, it means his customery arse hole persona as in the' Im an actual communist' bullying against Ash is a choice.
Then again bulling a 5 ft 2nd generation asian woman is a lot safer than trying it on with a white 94 year old MIT professor whose prestige is close to that of Nelson Mandela's.
Its a bit sad that most of the comments below are not about the issues discussed in the interview but are instead about Piers behaviour and his intellect in comparison to Chomsky. The cult of celebrity strikes again
This is why democracy is and has always been a terrible idea.
@@thegreatdream8427Name a better idea
@@clarkbowler157 Futarchy. Look it up.
@@thegreatdream8427 Looks like digitalized right-libertarianism.
@@clarkbowler157 Nope. Mutualism is the original form of anarchism, founded in the 1850s by the same man, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, whose pronouncement "Je suis anarchiste" was the first time the word "anarchist" was used in print. It is a leftist ideology through and through.
But modern forms of leftism have rejected markets due to falsely assuming they inevitably lead to capitalism; mutualism is based on an explanation of how to have the benefits of markets without the costs, alongside the benefits of other modes of social organization such as communes and cooperatives.
This is like a Labrador debating with Einstein!!!
Haha! Labradors have very high intelligence. Higher than Morgan anyway 😛
that's an insult to my labrador.
piers is more like a dumbmerikan.
How dare China put its country so close to US military bases!

I have to say you guys at Novara Media are fantastic. Great to see good honest and independent media. I'd be going insane if I had to depend on mainstream media these days...
True, I never expect to hear Fake Photos, Phone Hacks Morgan in the same sentence as anyone with serious ideas.
Noam Chomsky and Piers Morgan is intellectually equivalent to me talking to my dog.
The dog being the intelligent one :)
Or Chomsky talking to a pile of his dog's poop
How dare you insult your own dog like that! 😂
Nah bro your dogs probably more real than piers
Don't insult your dog. Ha ha...
Did Morgan ask if Noam thought women had a penis. That is his normal level
So sad to see Chomsky age. We have no one like him left.
We have Norman Finkelstein was mentored by Noam - he fights the humanity cause every day
I am glad he is getting older and older and still the same.
It would be be
a great loss to lose him.
It’s kinda amazing seeing Noam absolutely spitting truths to Piers’s audience.
Not Bastani tho. What he said at the end was in contrast to Chomsky, namely that the US is inflaming tensions with china rather than Bastani saying they anticipate china invading Taiwan
I can't believe Aaron's response to Michael asking about NATOs involvement in Yugoslavia,NATO bombed Serbia for almost 3 months constantly,cut off water and supplies to civilians,that was quite possibly the worst response I've ever heard on this from someone from the (so called)left
I can’t believe this guys point is about NATO never fighting a war in Europe but doesn’t know about Serbia hahaha what on EARTH
And let's not forget that during this aggression on Serbia NATO used prohibited munitions such as Depleted Uranium Projectiles and Cluster Bombs which are forbidden by International Law
He is simply supporting the bombing of Belgrade, its a war and not peace keeping, just like it I.e NATO did in Libya.
And they bombed the Chinese Embassy in Serbia
@@johnwujaand blamed it on outdated maps ??
Even in his old age Chomsky can still run rings around Morgan. That's why he's staying quiet and not poking the bear.
Hmm.. great work Mike. BUUUT Aaron called NATO's bombimg of Yugoslavia a peacekeeping mission?? The NATO bombing killed about 1,000 members of the Yugoslav security forces in addition to between 489 and 528 civilians. please correct
Need more voices like Chomsky's in mainstream tv to challenge the war profiteers
It must be remembered that during the 1930s, when Japan was invading China, Tchang KaiShek (Nationalist Kuomintang Party) was not fighting the Japanese invader, but was trying out to wipe out the Chinese Communists. When Mao Zedong started the Long March, the aim was not to escape the Japanese but the Kuomintang. So, in a way, the Kuomintang was a traitor towards China, trying to eliminate a potential national rival rather than uniting forces with the latter to oust the invaders from abroad.
Surprisingly Piers in this interview never interrupted Chomsky. For a small while it seemed like he was intent on learning something which is a first.
That must be the longest that Morgan has allowed anyone to speak without interruption.
I was shocked.
Noam Chomsky is one of very few people Morgan could present to get me to watch Piers Morgan. If you want to try and cover foreign affairs, particularly where the U.S. is involved then you can do a lot worse than Chomsky as your guide.
Chris Hedge and Jeffrey Sachs are in that league as well
I would prefer to just listen Chomsky ....
@@themsmloveswar3985 Watching Morgan's expression whilst he twitches impatiently in his seat because Chomsky is so detailed, measured and thorough does have a certain attraction.
How? This is the guy who lays the invasion of Taiwan - before it's even happened - at the feet of the US. 'Provocation'. He is incapable of seeing any confrontation except through the lens of American politics. Given his reputation as a public intellectual he is a fantastically myopic, parochial man.
But you could also do a lot better.... Chomkys views can be summarised as US,West = bad, Putin, Xi = good. Chomsky whines and whinges about the supposed hypocrisy of the West every time he is given a chance.
It is really refreshing to see Morgan allow someone to speak. He obviously respects Chomsky.
Nah he doesnt respect him .he just knows he out of his depth .
God bless Noam Chomsky. He has been highlighting the Truth for over half a century!
Keep talking until your last breath! God bless you!
Piers Morgan actually let someone whose politics don’t align with his own actually finish a sentence.
Why is that slightly terrifying?
China just stopped using Micron chips because they don’t need them as they make their own and America got incredibly upset and threatened them.
Fun fact.. US have reduced its airforce from Taiwan recently, they have next to nothing based there now. looks like an invitation, nice game of chess
Thank you for this, very enlightening. To his credit peirs introduced me to Bassam Yousef. It is frightening, the way the wish of the local citizens is not considered in these conversations about Taiwan, Ukraine, and Gaza. There are other places were this fact seams to bare out, Catalonia and Scotland come to mind, however there is no military threat with those.
Thanks, guys, I could listen to this all day.
Noam Chomsky one of the greatest minds of our generation versus phone hacking, tabloid editing, puffed up wannabe celebrity Piers Morgan? Pur-lease…. 🤦♂️
Indeed.
too bad he was buddies with epstein huh? He's also embarrassingly susceptible to russian/Khmer Rouge propaganda.
I have no love for Piers but Chomsky reliably always takes "it's the west's fault" in any given argument.
@@jessep3571 check out his views on the khmer rouge
@@numberonedad already have, I actually have several saved tabs on this as I went down that rabbit hole.
It is brilliant to see Chomsky on Morgan - it is perhaps amongst Chomsky's most important interviews given the audience. Brand is another example of someone who provides a platform for those who would be shunned by dominant media. In Chomsky's interviews the guy on the otherside doesn't matter - he's there to speak to the masses. Many switched on to Morgan would never have heard from Chomsky. A lot of credit to Morgan in this instance of allowing to Chomsky to speak uninterruptedly.
The point made about the US facing no security threats is worth remaking - the US have been in UKraine for a decade, right on the Russian border. The US deep into China's region of interest. Are either Russia or China mixing it up on the US border? The only threat to US security came in the 60s and it was nearly WW3 - consider the threats US have posed to the security of other countries in the second half of last century and throughout this one. Yet of course !the threat to national security" is the language used to justify military action - rather than "the threat to US dominance".
Spot on ! wish more had thought of it like us not just swallowed western propaganda.
The entitled rich kid at kindergarten right. So what are we expecting, NATO expanding creating a Cold War scenario with China until America gets its chip industry up and running, then backing out and leaving Taiwan to fend for itself, or becoming the sacrificial lamb.
"Are either Russia or China mixing it up on the US border?"
Yes, in Cuba.
The CCP has also infiltrated many college and university campuses, political bodies and commercial ventures around the world.
good points well made
I understood chomsky when he said china spending was flat and increased in line with population
This is not propaganda..ITS the TRUTH.
I support China
Chom made me spit my lunch out when he talks of morals after what he was happy with during the coof
Coof?
Morgan is an intellectual Pygmy, arguing Chinese financial imperialism, its military spending, while somehow turning his critical eye from the fact he’s also describing the US
Even if we suppose all markets close and each country only serve their own. China is 1.4 billion people; the market itself is enough for their own businesses to utilize and thrive if they become isolationist, but the same cannot be spoken of other countries.
If the world listened to people like Chomsky, we would be in a much better geopolitical situation than the horrible mess we’re in now.
Maybe for Russia and China......
@peter coleman But the electorate swallow the propaganda of the political classes.
WTF are you talking about??
Morgan is looking very uncomfortable - he's clearly out of his depth on this topic.
Chomsky is one of the figures that opened my eyes in college. Eyes pulled back for sure. Thank you Mr. Chomsky
Morgan knows: He can’t shine Chomsky’s boots, let alone debate him!😂😂😂
PRC and Taiwan-ROC are in the modern day's "Romance of the Two Kingdoms", a bipartite division of China. 😂
There is no doubt in my mind that 'Murica will light the touch paper, igniting the whole powder keg, because, well 'Murica!
I like your channel, but can we stop with the clickbait? I watched the full interview and it wasn't at all antagonistic, as your title suggests.
I’m sorry but I don’t see the relevance of talking about Taiwan’s past with the white terror. The Taiwan of today is a very different place and has worked hard to democratise and give human rights to its people. Something that the PRC has yet to do. Look at what is happening RIGHT NOW to the Uighur, Mongol and Tibetan communities inside China! Also look at how China has treated Hong Kong, they promised “one China two systems” but immediately started eroding Hong Kong’s democratic systems. That is what will happen to Taiwan if it is forced to bow to the PRC.
What is happening to those peoples? There's no evidence of anything, only western media reports from know liars and propogandists and "word of mouth" . There's nothing concrete there at all, is there human rights abuses in China? Sure. But there are in US and UK too, there's not all that much difference nowdays and even if there was it still doesn't justify war and invasion (guaranteed human extinction). Did China act like the west over gunatanamo? (there was actual proof with that one!) No and it wouldn't have been helpful if they did, would we want them trying to encourage breakaway states like catalonia and talking about war and invasion? No we wouldn't. Alot of this anti China stuff is plain old buried colonial racism maybe a bit of 24 7 propogandising from every side of the media
And look how China has lifted billions out of extreme poverty, while homelessness and drug overdose deaths grow in the West.
To be precise: Chomsky said “US AND British propaganda. Please don’t gloss it over.
It’ll be a sad sad day when that incredible man is gone! Noam is a great man.
Chomsky just knows everything. He sees exactly what's happening and is able to explain it clearly, by stating facts. Yes, facts!
“I would suggest distinguishing between western propaganda and the facts.” What a bad-ass.
Correction NATO was formed in 1949 to threaten and contain Russia .The Warsaw Pact was formed in 1956 to defend the Soviet Union from NATO
The surgically incisive - though ancient - mind of Noam Chomsky versus . . . ehh . . . who is that? Oh . . . that's Piers Morgan. 'The Smothering Hot Water Bottle'.
Thank god someone speaks the truth
I don’t think I’ve ever heard Chomsky be so aggressive, good on him
What's amazing about the exchange is that Prof Chomsky exposed Morgan as stupid without trying to do so.
waiting for Novara Media to start differentiating between reality and Western propaganda when it comes to the Ukraine war. It is easy to criticize past and future wars.
I can't believe how much piers bit his lip here! He at least has respect for his elders, even if he's a total nincompoop
Matthew Defoe. You obviously didn't see him "interviewing" Bernie ecclestone a few months back.
The gentleman is way too intellectual for Piers...he had nothing much to say that why he was so quiet.
I never thought I'd see piers quiet and respectful! Interesting video, thank you
Piers Morgan needs to learn the difference between loyal patriotism and blind patriotism.
Bloody hell, the Epstien stuff must be serious for Gnome to talk to Puke MoreGAN.
Great to see Morgan showing someone a bit of respect in one of his interviews.
He had no choice.
Guess they won't have Noam back in a hurry.
The truth is always the truth.
No, I think this is even more worrying that we aare seeing. Piers Gnomes what Chomsky is like, and stilll had him on. There's got to be some weird reason, Why it's happening now.There Is so much weird, illogical, irrational decisions going on all over the World now- I think something Weirder is coming
@@Rowlph8888 Part of the UK establishment wants to negotiate with China. Different parts of the media represent slightly varied business interests
Glad that you have connected with the outstanding Prof Chomsky. We are fortunate to have him but for not much longer. Even Piers Morgan seems to acknowledge the man's extraordinary intellect and integrity.
You can see how many intimidated Piers is from the first few bars. He let Chomsky speak for too long and simply had no rebut
Chomsky did not 'speak for too long' - no silences, convoluted statements, loss of focus or energy.
There is no “too long” when Chomsky is speaking.

@@btosi omg really you had to type this down
Nothing about the military bases being built in the South China Sea and the bullying of the Philippines in there own country.
Respect guys for daring to go where we're not supposed to go. 👍
To truly have an open mind, we must seek out and listen to all viewpoints, with a healthy dose of critical thinking
I mean, China has been constructing artificial islands in the South China Sea and building military bases on them for a decade or so in order to claim control of areas of ocean that are crucial for trade and then harassing other nations ships when they enter that areas. They’ve also been invaded Taiwans airspace with armed military aircraft with increasing frequency. The Chinese government also makes it very clear that it sees Taiwan as part of its territory and intends to reinstate its direct control over it eventually. I’ve no doubt the American military industrial complex is quite happy to ramp up tensions in order to balloon the us military budget even further. But it’s flat out incorrect to say that china has made no escalating moves in that area prior to recent us moves. And it’s also incorrect to say that China has no intentions of invading Taiwan unless America provokes it. China hasn’t invaded before now because for the past 70 years it hasn’t had a military capable of doing so. But it’s always made its claim of ownership over that territory and eventual assimilation very clear. Yes the western media is disgustingly pro American. But that doesn’t mean you have to parrot the propaganda of different colonial hyper capitalist super power as if that’s any better. They are both terrible countries attempting to defend and expand their geopolitical influence by whatever means are necessary. We are leftists, we shouldn’t be licking the boots of any of these power hungry fascists
None of your business what china are doing. Just like China had no say in what the US has been doing for decades in various parts of the world such as south America.
People keep talking about the military industrial complex as if that is what drives war. It doesn't. The military avoids wars. No seriously it does. The guy most out of step in the Bush administration was Colin Powell and he was least hawkish. Even now Vivek is calling for a war on Mexico and the people most reticent are the military who have said they think that is more about law enforcement and don't want to get involved.
But Taiwan is under international law a province of China
@@Ths_St there's a sizeable part of the population who do want reunification and many who simply don't like the west raising tensions. Do you have any friends and family living in both Taiwan and China? I do
@@Ths_St I agree its not simply upto some individuals to determine, it's international law that must. We have no choice but to obey it unless we can confirm a direct security threat to our borders, until then we must sit this out and leave it for the Chinese mainlanders and the Taiwanese to sort it out. Preferably with some ASEAN intermediates, the west poking its nose in there is dangerous and stupid
Morgan should refuse to talk to intelligent people, he just looks a fool when it happens
Chomsky hasn't left his room since Covid, and we haven't forgotten what he had to say about the unvaxxed.
Morgan doesn't listen, he's like a dog waiting to attack.
Though I agree with you both almost all of the time, you are fundamentally mistaken about Taiwan. Taiwan's distinctness is owing to China's ceding of it to Japan as a spoil of war in 1895, and the KMT's brutal subjugation of the local population in 1947, shortly after recapturing the territory upon Japan's WWII surrender. The present government is descended from those who resisted (and were, in many cases, jailed by) the KMT, and a majority of the population regard themselves as exclusively Taiwanese (rather than "both Taiwanese and Chinese"). Taiwan has all of the essential attributes of a state, and its government, while never formally renouncing its "ROC" constitutional position (because that would prompt retaliation from Beijing), has since the early 1990s constructively renounced any claim to represent China as a whole.
The PRC has made clear that it will invoke "non-peaceful means" to reincorporate Taiwan. Although the international community has withheld formal recognition of Taiwan's independent status to avoid precipitating a crisis of relations with the PRC, this does not change the character of the confrontation. The PRC's position in no sense represents an aspiration of unity shared across the Strait. And whereas Russian aims arguably were, at least initially, reconcilable with an internally self-governing (though internationally subordinated) Ukraine, the PRC aims overtly to extinguish Taiwanese self-government, whether by threat or use of force. What can sensibly be done about this is another matter, but the PRC's objective is purely predatory, and should not be sugar-coated.
Chomsky drops truth bombs
One correction. NATO led a war in Europe, when it attacked the sovereign state of Yugoslavia in 1999 without the approval of the Security Council.
Yes, NATO stopped the war in ex Yugoslavia. A war with more that 100 thousand dead victims, 4 million refugees etc. By far the bloodiest conflict in Europe after WW2. By attacking the regime of Milošević which was the engine of this war.
O, what a big crime to finally end the 4 year long time of war, suffering, destruction and teror!
Surprisingly Piers Morgan has not insulted and personally attacked NC… for having a different point of view
I dread the day we lose this man. Who will take up his mantle? :(
Karl Marx😅
This is a great news channel. Thank you for putting data based content. No propaganda here. Excellent work.
Aaron really needs to do his research on NATO's war in Kosovo. They bombed Serbia for 80 days with depleted uranium ammunition. Countless civilians murdered.
Huge hit to his credibility.
Bombing Yugoslavia was anything but peaceful)
The mainstream media is lame in their refusal to discuss these topics with Professor Chomsky.
I pray for the day i can tell my AI pc i never want to hear or see anything to do with Piers Morgan and a few thousand others . They cloud the mind .
Look, I’m no lover of US imperialism, but China is basically doing its own brand of it too, what with building artificial islands in international waters and harassing the other nations around it. Ask people of such countries like Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Japan, etc. if they feel threatened by China and most will say yes
Imagine if a group of people were carrying guns and knives walking around, lurking around in front of your house every day, what would you do?
Will you buy a gun to protect yourself? To prepare yourself?
If you do, like China did, arm yourself to protect themselves, then those people/US called out: China is arming themselves, wanting a war.
What kind of logic is that ?
I feel threatened by my own country because they are pathetic and couldn't fight there way out of paper bag. Good old England.
👍💯
Yep that was one thing not covered. Multiple countries beyond the US and in China's neighbourhood have complained about this. Chomsky focuses on military spending but sheer fact is that a lot of what has happened in China and around it is provocative. However I don't really understand why the US needs to be involved at all.
