Noam Chomsky - Why We Go to War

[Tychoxi]

War Is a Racket, Smedley D. Butler, 1935.

[vinayseth]

True! No East India Company=No British invasion of India. It's always been about commercial interests and resources.

[bradynorris]

What’s so disturbing to me is that so many people think war is about freedom or protection, when it’s underhandedly about money and power.

[RapWalaKavi]

Rule should be simple, if a/multiple leader/s wants war, then they should fight it themselves.

[eraserhead]

He can even speak without moving his lips. Chomsky is so talented.

[Czrtt]

BRAVO CHOMSKY- speaking the TRUTH to power!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[metamaggot]

he doesn't blink..illuminato confirmed!

[avigindratt]

Chomsky's hot ass breath in the beginning is classic lmao

[johnlaudenslager]

"If you can have your hand on the spigot, you control .... " That's the kind of simply clear, plausible analysis Chomsky often brings to the discussion. Love it.

War is bad but sometimes it has to happen but there's a very strict line between dieing for your country and dieing in the name of it

[matthewmaneri]

I’m not doubting the man, he’s a genius. but I would like to see sources for his claim around 4:10 about how the Bush admin was honest and open about its actual goals in Iraq

I thought the interviewer sounded a lot like Cenk Uygur from TYT, but he seemed too reasonable, so I thought that couldn't be right. But then I checked the source, and it turns out that it is Cenk, although the interview is from 2010. That makes sense, 2010 was a much more stable and reasonable year than either 2016 or 2017. Almost everything is dumb nowadays.

As H.I.M. said: Until the philosophy which hold one race superior and another inferior will be war
Until theirs no longer first class or second class citizens of any nation will be war
Until

[festus]

Noam Chomsky is right about the war in Iraq and its causes.

[oxxnarrdflame]

War, turning other men's sons into profit.

[JingleJangleJam]

Hey I've got an idea. What if we tried to secure strong oil reserves in other countries by being friends with them, aiding the development of their societies, and generally benefitting their people so that they give us oil out of friendship? Just an idea. Or maybe the oil companies that run our policy wouldn't be able to get all the profits from the two nations interactions that way? Quite a conundrum, Chomsky.

[TOFKAS]

4:00 And at the end, the USA lost the war in Iraq and retreated. So, there is not always the big business who wins....but the normal US-citizen is always losing, because they payed the bill with money and blood.

[oxxnarrdflame]

The interviewer like most Americans is so naïve, Chomsky is brilliant.

[thelonewanderer]

Man microphones and Chomsky do not get along 😂

[jayman]

Adam Smith was from Scotland not England. If Noam had said the UK then that would have been ok but not England.
