If even Noam Chomsky can see it...
Chomsky continued, “Of course, it was provoked. Otherwise, they wouldn’t refer to it all the time as an unprovoked invasion. By now, censorship in the United States has reached such a level beyond anything in my lifetime. Such a level that you are not permitted to read the Russian position. Literally. Americans are not allowed to know what the Russians are saying. Except, selected things. So, if Putin makes a speech to Russians with all kinds of outlandish claims about Peter the Great and so on, then, you see it on the front pages. If the Russians make an offer for a negotiation, you can’t find it. That’s suppressed. You’re not allowed to know what they are saying. I have never seen a level of censorship like this.”

Even if you said it first, if Putin says it after you, you are automatically an anti-American Russian propagandist stooge.
Obviously, withe the release of this, Chomsky has proven that he is on Putin's payroll.

Chomsky is the proverbial "big bag of hot air." From the safety of a university campus he spouts his nonsense. He has never been a decision or policy maker. That would have taken too much intestinal fortitude.
