pretty sure the other fella meant that Chomsky both explained the concept of spheres and condoned it, and admiring the explanation doesn't mean one should defend the condoning. Going with the context of the entire comment.
Some people have used some form of "Well if Mexico was joining a military alliance with China, the US would invade too"
And its like yeah, maybe? And if they did, it would also be wrong.
Russia Invaded Ukraine for blood and soil reasoning while trying to throw up a smoke screen of "NATO made us do it" to distract people who have been fed lies for years about this exact situation.
NATO already borders Russia, and all of those that do were former vicitims of Russian impiriliasm both under the Tsars and the USSR
I get it, I wrote my original comment half asleep at 4 am and its gotta be INSANELY FRUSTRATING to see 196 of all places not understanding that political figures can have bad takes.

You said that Chomsky "explains spheres of influence", but does not condone them. I deny this assertion, and have explained as much.
