Off the top of my head I donât think thatâs right. Canât remember 100% now but I seem to remember Chomsky saying that Kissingerâs humanitarian response to the Kymer Rouge was good but comparing it negatively with his response to other humanitarian disasters. (In other words just typical Chomsky) I used to read a lot of him when I was a teenager.
I wasnât aware that this was an issue. I see now that thereâs loads online about this, even full Wikipedia pages, but itâs hard to see what he was really trying to say. Probably just his typical âbut what about the US!â line.
"Chomsky, he said, questioned ârefugee testimonyâ believing that âtheir stories were exaggerations or fabrications, designed for a western media involved in a âvast and unprecedented propaganda campaignâ against the Khmer Rouge government, âincluding systematic distortion of the truth.ââ
Thatâs not great now from Chomskyâs POV but it was all way back in the 70s, a very heated atmosphere, he wouldnât still say that now.
Chomsky said that when Vietnam liberated Cambodia from the Khmer Rouge it was a rare example of humanitarian military intervention but he also says there were US lads killing even more people before the KR came along (not 100% sure who he means)

Full Iran vs Saudis war getting closer all the time. Only for the Saudis have the US behind them Iâd imagine itâd already be underway

Ya unlikely the Israelis or the US would stay out though. No way Israel allows them win that war
Throw up a tale of the tape .
That is the point. The US surely would not let this happen while Trump has managed to find the true opponent in China.
Doesnât help that the Saudis are the laziest people on the planet.

Good man . Your experience of analyzing the squads in the West JHC give you real credence here .
that goes for all arabs tho
an apalling work ethic
completely disorganised also- there is a reason why no form of manufacturing industry can ever survive or would ever dream of locating to one of their countries
and that culture of saving face - they all want the last word, all want to show they are âsmarterâ with the I got three pieces of lamb for the price of 2 gone off ones in the local shop from Waahib

Presumably the reason the Turks know what happened the chap in the Saudi embassy is that they have the bejaysus bugged out of it but they canât admit that.

When you hear that Putin is now communicating via letter writing, you realise everyone has everywhere bugged. Because if anyone would know whoâs bugging, its Putin.
