‘The West enters war to bring good? That’s colonial mindset’

CGTN published this video item, entitled “‘The West enters war to bring good? That’s colonial mindset'” – below is their description.

Even after so many wars across the world and the consequent casualties, “they still have this huge feeling that the West only acts to bring good, never for some bad purpose, the adversaries of the West are always savages, that’s the colonial mindset,” Vijay Prashad, Indian journalist and executive director of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, slapped the absurd standard that exists among some people and media in the West in a recent interview with CGTN.

In this video, Vijay Prashad, an Indian journalist who has written extensively on communism and also the Arab Spring in North Africa, singles out NATO for some specific criticism.

Prashad’s oeuvre is made up of criticism of the West, so his presence on CGTN in content of this nature can be considered interesting timing.
