Noam Chomsky: Trump the ‘one Western statesman of stature’ pushing peace in Ukraine

[SugarDaddy1]

Famed leftist MIT professor Noam Chomsky has credited former President Donald Trump for being one of the few prominent statesmen in the West actively pushing for peace in Ukraine as opposed to escalating war with Russia.

"Well, there is, fortunately, one statesman in the United States and Europe, a high political figure, who has made a very sensible statement about how you can solve the crisis. Namely, by facilitating negotiations instead of undermining them and moving toward establishing some kind of accommodation in Europe, in which there are no military alliances, but just mutual accommodation.

I think DeGaul had a similar vision. Emmanuel Macron, in his initiatives trying to contact Putin, suggested something similar. So, going back to the one Western statesman, he didn’t mention all of this, but he suggested something similar. Move towards negotiations and diplomacy instead of escalating the war. Try to see if we can bring about accommodation, which would be roughly along these lines.

His name is Donald J. Trump."

Under fire for praising Trump’s Ukraine stance, Noam Chomsky says US ex-president ‘not the issue’

New Delhi: Renowned author, linguist and philosopher Noam Chomsky — known for ruffling feathers with his dissident views — invited an onslaught of criticism last month for calling former US President Donald Trump the “one Western statesman of stature” who has laid out a “sensible” solution to the war in Ukraine.

Asked if it’s wise to pay heed to what Trump has to say about the war in Ukraine — considering the former US President’s murky history with the Ukrainian leadership — Chomsky told ThePrint in an email that it’s the contents of Trump’s remarks on Ukraine that are important, not Trump himself.

Trump had allegedly tried to extort Ukrainian President Zelenskyy into investigating Joe Biden’s son Hunter in 2019 in the run-up to the US Presidential election.

Chomsky’s remarks came as a surprise to many, considering that he has in the past described Trump as “dangerous”, even referring to him as “the worst criminal in human history”.

This isn’t the first time the American scholar has courted controversy. In the 1970s, Chomsky was accused of downplaying evidence of genocide in Cambodia during the radical Khmer Rouge movement in a 1977 paper he co-authored with American economist Edward Herman, titled ‘Distortions at Fourth Hand‘.
