This doesn't seem to contradict Chomsky's take, who doesn't seem to endorse any kind of war or violence at all. Hence his take seems to be a critique on western behavior that seems fair and warranted.

You are correct, I was replying to our shared colleague xg15, not Chomsky. We were discussing the decisions of different countries around the world.
My post did not cover Chomsky's takes on the matter because, honestly, I have not read them. Not for lack of desire, just personal time and priority.
I don't think it's important to engage in prejudice based on national origin.
> I just notice that a lot of non-Western countries seem to be at least undecided which narrative to follow
141 countries decided that Russia's aggression is deserving of condemnation and must stop: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_General_Assembl...
Additionally, the court with relevant jurisdiction (composed of impartial judges from western and non-western countries) has decided that Putin should be arrested and tried for his crimes: https://www.icc-cpi.int/news/situation-ukraine-icc-judges-is...
Doesn't seem too undecided.
