“Major world powers need to shift from confrontation to accommodation soon; otherwise, we’ll go off the precipice together.”

The renowned linguist and political dissident Noam Chomsky gave a grim prognosis on international politics at a webinar hosted by Massachusetts Peace Action on April 26.

Chomsky told the audience that he was dismayed to read in the pages of Foreign Affairs, the journal of the prestigious Council on Foreign Relations, that we “can have a small nuclear war with Russia…who cares.”

This kind of talk, said Chomsky, is “beyond insanity.” A nuclear war will result in mass suffering and destruction of much of the planet—as whoever strikes first will engender retaliation.

Chomsky said that Albert Einstein was once asked what weapons would be used to fight World War III. He responded that he didn’t know, but that “World War IV would be fought with sticks and stones.” Which appears to be where we are headed.

U.S. generals, who Chomsky said should know better, are talking openly about war with China, almost as if it is a fait accompli.

The U.S. is encircling China militarily as the Biden administration is in the process of a) building up the U.S. military base network in the Philippines; b) fortifying the U.S. military alliance with South Korea and Japan; c) sending nuclear-armed submarines and precision weapons to Australia aimed at China; and d) sending B-52 nuclear-armed bombers to Guam.

The ongoing U.S. economic war on China was apparent in U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo’s remarks that all Western countries must cooperate in preventing Chinese innovation and development—implying that China should be strangled economically.
