[Aaus-list] The silence of the Chomsky crowd

[stephen velychenko]

Go to London or of any other Western capital and here is what you will not
see. You will not see mass demonstrations against the Russian invasion of
the Ukraine swaying down the same streets in which the liberal-left marched
against the invasion of Iraq. You will not hear prominent left-wing voices
emphasizing that Putin is attempting more than an invasion; that the
Russian Federation - and what a benign word 'federation' is for a revived
Tsarist autocracy - is the last of the European empires, and is seeking to
expand its borders, as empires always do.
