Noam Chomsky: Nuclear War More Likely Today Than During Cold War
The threat of a nuclear war, Chomksy said, is greater today than during the Cold War.
U.S. linguist, analyst, intellectual and writer Noam Chomsky warned that a nuclear war is more imminent today than during the Cold War as the Pentagon expands its 800 bases around the globe in an attempt to dominate the world.
Chomsky said he believes a nuclear war would be something highly irrational, but could happen due to an accident or a human error.
“The threat of a nuclear war is greater today than during the Cold War,” he said in an interview published by La Jornada on Sunday. “The risk of a nuclear war is concentrated in the proliferation of incidents involving armed forces of nuclear powers.”
He continued saying, “Russia is the main pebble in the shoe of the Pentagon's world domination because it has an enormous military system.”
The linguist argued that the “problem is that both Russia and the United States are increasing their military systems acting as if war were possible, which is part of a collective madness.”
