On Sunday, Noam Chomsky, a severe critic of US foreign policy, said that there was “no meaningful evidence of a coup” by his country against former prime minister Imran Khan. Responding to a left-wing blogger Chomsky said, “the US is powerful, but not all-powerful. There is a tendency to attribute everything that happens in the world to the CIA or some diabolical Western plan. There is plenty to condemn, sharply. And the US is indeed powerful. But it’s nothing like what is often believed.” Chomsky also maintained that he did not consider the cable of Pakistan’s former ambassador to the US, Asad Majeed, as “substantial evidence” of American intervention for a regime change in the country.
