Russia fired ballistic missiles at Kharkiv on Wednesday, damaging the office of a Swiss mine-clearing NGO, local officials said. Six people were injured when an industrial area was hit, said the Kharkiv mayor, Ihor Terekhov. Volodymyr Tymoshko, the Kharkiv police head, told the national broadcaster Suspilne that Russian forces used a
“double-tap” attack to target rescuers who arrived after an initial strike. “It is a miracle that both the rescuers and the policemen left this object 10 minutes before the second strike,” he said, but other people nearby were injured.
Recent attacks in the Black Sea have forced the Russian navy to rebase its ships elsewhere, says Ukrainian navy; multiple Russian strikes on Kharkiv damage Swiss NGO office. What we know on day 883

This is what Chomsky and his vile vermin followers believe to be magnanimous Russian military performance.
They can’t argue with Chomskys claims that Russia was pushed into an invasion of Ukraine as there is not one bit of evidence that supports it.
Once again
Apparently the “U.S”. gave verbal “assurances” to Russia that the U.S. wouldn’t expand NATO. This is categorically false as no such agreement exists and has been denied by Russian leadership. As we know US foreign policy was changed from administration to administration so even if there was verbal communication to that extent it would mean very little over the course of 30 fukking years and 5 presidencies.This is besides the fact that no U.S. administration has expressed any willingness to admit Ukraine into NATO. However what does exist are several treaties with guaranteeing Ukrainian sovereignty.
What’s funny is Putin views these western traitors as useful idiots. He laughed in Tuckers face when he tried to give the same justification for Putin’s war. Putin was like “nah, Ukraine is Russia that’s the reason” and brought out a history book. I would love Putin to debate Chomsky or what’s left of him.
I’ve seen Chomsky challenged on these points and like when he is challenged on his Serbian genocide denial he gets frustrated, acts like a baby and ends the interview.
That’s why he must draw parallels between the Ukraine war and Iraq war even though nobody has used Iraq as a just war as an argument. It’s pure whataboutism of the feeble minded who lack and argument as to why the U.S. and Europe shouldn’t intervene to protect Ukraine. Even if it’s selfish interests it is still the morally correct position to take. Pretty everyone agrees Bush is a war criminal and his entire cabinet were criminals. What does that have to do with the Russian invasion of 2022?
The numerous claims he makes in this article I honestly have to go from questioning his integrity (we know he has none since to the days of his defense of pol pot)to his declining mental state.
The US linguist on the war in Ukraine, how the West is provoking China and why the UK is “not an independent country anymore”.

He claims “Baghdad was unliveable”
The battle of Baghdad by capture of capital cities was relatively bloodless
en.m.wikipedia.org
6 day battle with most of the damage caused by looting.
Compare that to Mariupol which Human Roghts watch estimates 11,000 dead with just an analysis of mass graves alone and they believe the actual death toll stretching into the tens of thousands.
That’s one city in Ukraine. How many died in Severdonetsk, Bahkmut, Adiivka, and the multitudes of cities the Russians rolled through during the initial invasion.
This abject buffoon took the initial estimates in the opening days of the invasion to try and claim Russia was acting humanely. It took years for the true death toll of the Iraq war to be known. Of course that deaths were mostly tribal and religious civil war caused and not US soldiers going door to door and gunning down Iraqi civilians. We won’t haggle over that as it would be just as wrong due to the excess deaths the Russian invasion of Ukraine will inevitably cause.
Also the buffoon claims that Russia could just level Kyiv. A metropolis of millions as if that sort of ordinance exists besides what would inevitably lead to world war 3. He has no knowledge of military capabilities as to why he seems to think the U.S. needs Ukraine to threaten Russian when America has Ohio class subs with the capability to end any country in the world from the artic circle. As if the US needs to position missiles in Europe like it’s 1960 when we have inter continental missiles with ranges of thousands of miles.
Honestly, the only people I’ve come across that have done this much haggling and whataboutism about death tolls and past war crime comparisons are Holocaust deniers unsurprisingly. Their argumentative styles are a lot alike.
