-US Foreign Policy & Military Bases – Noam Chomsky, Joseph Gerson & John Lindsay Poland
In this video, Noam Chomsky, Joseph Gerson and John Lindsay Poland talk about the US foreign policy apparatus that includes US military bases worldwide and the drone program-
What is the rational behind having 800 military bases worldwide?
What role does the US air base in Ramstein play?
Is the drone program justified?
What can activists do to halt militarization?
All of these questions and more are addressed in this video:
2:39 “There is a global terrorism campaign far beyond any other – it’s Obama’s Drone Campaign. That’s a terrorist campaign of a scale that has never existed in the past.
This campaign is formally, officially, explicitly, aimed at people who the government suspects might someday want to harm us – might someday want to harm us. They have to be killed along with anybody else who’s standing around.
I mean, if, you know, Al Qaeda or anyone came out with a campaign like that, we would be beyond scandalized – we’d probably nuke em. But that’s official policy supported by the Western countries. Now that’s a serious problem. Global terrorism is a serious problem but this is right at the top.”
-Noam Chomsky
