World
ominously close to nuclear war – Noam Chomsky to RT
RT,

November, 2014
The
world has come ominously close to a nuclear war in the past and it
could happen again as Russia and the West have slipped back into what
seems like another Cold War, world-renowned scholar Noam Chomsky
tells RT’s Sophie&Co.
Once
NATO has expanded its borders all the way to reach Russia, its
mission has very much changed since it was initially established,
Chomsky said. Now, its aim is to take control of global energy
systems rather than maintaining intergovernmental military balance.
The
world has never been closer to a nuclear war that could wipe out all
of its initiators, and the threat is no longer a thing of history,
according to Chomsky.
“The
worst-case scenario, of course, would be a nuclear war, which would
be terrible. Both states that initiate it will be wiped out by the
consequences. That’s the worst-case. And it’s come ominously
close several times in the past, dramatically close. And it could
happen again, but not planned, but just by the accidental
interactions that take place – that has almost happened,” Chomsky
told Sophie Shevardnadze.
The
overall situation of international instability was worsened by US
involvement in the Middle Eastern affairs and damaging regional
conflicts, Chomsky says, comparing its actions in Iraq to a hit with
a “sledgehammer.”
Chomsky
went on to discuss with RT the former NSA contractor and
whistleblower Edward Snowden, and the US’ ever-expanding global
spying that are having a dangerous impact on the domestic population
and is inspiring other governments worldwide to do the same.

The neocons in Washington are in danger of believing their own rhetoric. There is more historic geopolitical understanding in the brains of Sergei Lavrov and Vladimir Putin than in the entire state department. The danger for the world is that the US has been hijacked by zionist psychopaths and they might fall for their own fiction. We stand on our own 1939 moment and only time will tell what will happen. In 1939 no one believed that in 6 short but brutal years 50,000,000 people would die. Get back to me in 2019 and if I'm still here we'll do a tally up and I will be surprised if the number is so low.
