Just skimmed his position on Ukraine and it’s the ole “only diplomacy will end the war” thing, ie. he ends up regurgitating Kremlin propaganda. Nah, Russia’s economical and political collapse will end it because Russians won’t have the collective will to get rid of Putin before that.
He somewhat relented on the Red Khmer issue in retrospect but defended how he came to the initial conclusion, which is how he managed to repeat and repeat the same mistake again. The shit he said about Bosnia as far as I’m aware he never corrected even in parts and you shouldn’t even ever *begin" to refer to starving concentration camp inmates behind barbed wire as “thin guys”.
I understand when USians value him for writing Manufacturing Consent (and I’ll lump Canucks into that category because broader political sphere), but there’s also a fucking reason he’s persona non grata in Europe.

Thanks. I’ve never seen this misinformation before now.
