Until the U.S. steps forward and leads the effort, nuclear warfare will always be with us. And annihilation of the human species will always hover over us as a real, increasingly probable result.
Brown University’s Costs of War Project released a new report Monday detailing post-9/11 spending by the Pentagon. The study found that of the over $14 trillion spent by the Pentagon since the start of the war in Afghanistan, one-third to one-half went to private military contractors.
Noam Chomsky talks about why the US withdrawal from Afghanistan won’t change US imperialism, the many war crimes of George W. Bush, and why he still believes in average people’s ability to push back against the war machine.
It is probably true that the public is fed with lies before, during and after every war. It is definitely true with the Afghan War. We must learn to be skeptical of both our political leaders and our mass media, when they give us reasons for going to war.
Noam Chomsky pointedly elaborates in a breathtaking interview that the outcome of the 20-year war on terror, which ended with the Taliban’s return to power, has been disastrous on multiple fronts, and also reveals the massive level of hypocrisy that belies the actions of the global empire.

She is now serving at the behest of her “handlers”—the white feminists who are poised to “save brown women from brown men.”
