Okay, if even Aaron Mate drops his support for #Chomsky then it signals that the “world’s brightest intellectual” became a friend so toxic that even scumbags who built their whole career on systematic denial of #Assad war crimes in #Syria like Mate consider him a liability. Both Mate and Chomsky never missed any opportunity to deny and justify (in that order) any possible war crime conducted by Russia or other regimes as long as they were declared anti-Western attitude. Chomsky started early, by fiercely denying Khmer Rouge genocide in Cambodia in 1970’s.
