Holding a non-narrative driven view might be fascinating for some, I suppose.

  You are literally constructing a narrative that western news media makes the decisions on the Ukrainian battlefield.

    Yes, it is a major contributing factor. PR wins help with public support for funding. This situation/topic is not the only situation they intentionally manipulate public option on.

          I'm pretty sure that "western news anchors produce an expected-to-fail counteroffensive in Ukraine" would even make Chomsky roll his eyes. Your explanation is not even internally coherent. A successful counteroffensive is a PR win. An unsuccessful one is a PR loss, obviously.

            His thoughts on this conflict are a simple Google search away.

              Please link to any source in which he makes the argument you're making. I looked and couldn't find any. Your argument is dismissible on its own merits and Chomsky believing it as well won't change that, but I am curious if he does.
