Here's one of the videos with Noam Chomsky from two years ago (click '!no longer available' if no window shows up):
Thanks Neven.
On my browser (Chrome) the video's do not play and the click on '!no longer available' leads just back to this page. Could you please just post the youtube link instead ?
I found Naom Chomsky's video by searching for the title, and I have a few comments on his report.
For starters, Naom's argument of Nato bases moving eastward as an excuse for Russia's actions in Ukraine does not make any sense at all.
For starters, the last time Nato moved closer to the Russian border was 2004.
That is 10 years before Russia annexed Crimea and invaded in Donbass.
Actually all through the time period 1991 (breakup of the Warsaw pact) through to 2014, the relationship between Nato and Russia was improving, and were even friendly at times, resulting for example joint military exercises as late as 2011. Nato is not a threat to Russia, and it would have been great to have Russia join Nato at some point when it stops harassing its neighbors.
But Noam Chomsky goes even one step further : He even argues that Nato should no longer exist.
And that is a very dangerous proposition.
Countries join Nato because is prevents anyone from attacking you. You know, the thing that happened all the time in history, and led to two world wars in the first half of the 20th century.
As this epic and very funny response from a Dutch TV talk-show to the Trump administration suggests with a serious note at 3:29 :
"if you screw Nato, you are going to make our problems great, again. They are going to be huge, they are going to be enormous. It's true. Please don't".
