Ukrainian people will rise up to defend themselves from Russia and align with Zalinski even if his motivation is to increase the status quo of Western corruption. Two things can be true at once.

Many others examples like this if you make the effort to actually watch the video and draw conclusions based on the actual current situation. Love JP for his speeches in others topics, but he's clearly waaay out of his expertise area on this one. Or maybe blinded by his hate for the woke culture idk

I have great admiration and respect for Dr. Peterson. 12 rules and his podcast continue to open my eyes and change my life. Dr. Peterson called on people from Central Europe for testimony. I'm Polish, knowing and understanding history of my country and region. When i hear the tone and voice calling for peace at all cost, it always remembers me of Chamberlaine. UK PM, who brought peace to the West from Munich conference in 1938. Peace at all cost always means war. The threat of nuclear exchange over war in Ukrainie is real. Nuclear exchange, if the West abandons Ukraine and Central Europe again is certain. There is one thing about Putin and Russians, Dr. Peterson and western people don't seem to understand. Their system of government is based on fear, since always. They know it all about fear. If you show you fear them, you already lost. The only way to win with them is not to be afraid, or at least not show it. Just like Solzenicin did. Postmoderinsm and the Cultural War are an invention of the West. You deal with that shit. Don't use our lives and lives of our children so you can keep your fucking status quo.

You dont understand Russia. Not fear, but idea of great country with strong leader and idea of evil west fighting with Russia and wanting to destroy country and - its core ideas. When the leader is weak like Tzar Nicolas or Gorbachev and country is becoming weak or when west not enemy but friend and not necessary to unite for defending Motherland, the Russia can be destroyed like it was in 1917 or 1991. But not fear, fear not stopped Russians in 1917, in 1991 and in 1941-1945. When there is question of security of Motherland Russians forget about fear for their lives and unite under existing government till external enemy wont be eliminated. In 1941 year Stalins government with fighting Germany support most Russians abroad because question of Russia existance. So as more West talking about that Russia must lose in Ukraine, that there is only military solutions and Russians must fear, the more Russian people remember history about Napoleon and Gitler invasion from West and more support government, believe that itsnot war with Ukraine but as war with West who wants to destroy Motherland Russia. So Russians is very poor people and dont have much freedom but when they believe that its question of existence of Russia they do anything to defend its Motherland and unite under current Russian government. And when you say Slogenitsyn - he was Russian nationalist who hates Western values and Ukraine independence the same way as hates Soviet Union and communism and he supported Putin and his politics when Putin became president.

Lets go Russia!

Even though you mention Poland and Hungary as looking at the West with brows high and eyes wide open, I think it's good to underline that there is a big difference between how those countries are handling current situation in Ukraine. In Poland, where I am from, the general notion is that the Russia, even thou not officially a communist state any more, haven't changed much in terms of mentality of people and leaders since USSR times, and that they are the aggressor. If Ukraine wants to be in NATO and in EU, as an independent country, they should be. Neither they should be "allowed to" nor "disallowed", but they simply should be, if that's what they desire. They can decide for their own. Aside from that, the level of anti-polonism propaganda in Russia is very high, I've watched a couple of KZread videos of that propaganda, and to me personally it seems grotesque I'd say. Even though, like mentioned before, we detest the West's far-left ideas, so that seems to have nothing to do with the cultural war. In my humble opinion, I'd rather "fight" with ideas agains the Western far-leftists, even taking it to the streets if we have to, instead of being under Russia's shoe once more. And that also seems to be the government's way - we send tanks and weapons and whatever we can, we host millions of Ukrainians in our homes and try our best, which already is causing a dangerously high level of backlash from the poorest Poles (why can the government give money to them if we are in need as well, we live in Poland and not Ukraine after all) and from the far-right, that keep on bringing back the issue of Wołyń (Volhynia) Massacre of Poles in the late II WW and the rising cult of Stepan Bandera, that was mostly responsible for that massacre, in modern Ukraine. Yet still, with all that taken into an account, we persist on helping Ukraine, whilst opposing the West's far-left ridiculous ideas. Hungary on the other side seem reluctant to send any military help to Ukraine, which also brought tensions between our countries, and it is worth noting that Hungarians and Poles were there for each other throughout history, there's even a saying "Polak, Węgier, dwa bratanki, i do szabli, i do szklanki", which roughly translates to "Poles, Hungarians, two brothers, both for saber and for (drinking) glass". I think that's all I wanted to mention, not sure if it's coherent at all, but it's just my input - a food for thought. Love from Poland.

What I'm advocating for however is still running things their way. In Poland we have constant presence of US military bases - some may argue it's for safety, we are a NATO country after all, others might argue it's yet another step of us loosing our independence to US. I cannot say what is going on behind the curtains of politics and big business, but from what my parents and grandparents told me, living in Poland now is way better (not only because of technology, medicine etc. advancements) than it was under communism. And I'm pretty sure that if we, the people, will feel the shoe of the US on our necks - we will fight it, as we did with communism. It might take generations, but will happen, unless they will level the whole country to the ground and kill every Pole, but somehow I doubt that. Keep in mind that Poland was not present on the maps for 123 years, yet still we somehow prevailed. If your spirit is strong, there's not much an invader can do, other than killing everybody, to break it. And I get that some might think that the shift to the West in Ukraine is caused by US, it very well might be, and that pro-western propaganda influenced the people's backing that idea, but if they want to try it - they should. Again - if they dislike what they will get into - then they should leave. There will be consequences, like there are for every decision, but it's not up to us to decide for them. Best regards.

I paid attention to what he was saying. Not only is it aged like milk, but this milk was a hazardous day 1. Unfortunately a lot of people are still watching this. The thing that degrades lately is the definition of expertise. This guy should probably go back to clinical psychology.

I am from the Czech Republic, my country was part of the eastern bloc, and even though I haven't lived through any of the horrors of that period, I can still see the same, or at least similar, infectious ideas spread throughout the west, under everyone's nose. So, I fully agree that the west has become degenerate and unable to meaningfully respond to any real problem, like the Ukraine war. However, as I am a Czech, I must disagree with you on one thing. There is one thing we shouldn't do, and it is to try to appease Russia. In 1938 in the Munich agreement, Great Britain and France decided, without inviting Czechoslovakia to the table, to give the Sudetenland, at that time a majority German part of Czechoslovakia on the borders of Germany and Austria, to the Nazi Germany, to prevent another bloody conflict like World War one. That part of our land also happened to host a significant number of the machinery of the Czechoslovak army and a defensive system meant to protect us against the aggressors. This obviously didn't prevent the war and only crippled a considerably strong anti-German military power and the only non-authoritarian country in that region, that would have helped defeat Germany. And for what, a useless piece of paper that Chamberlain could wave around. All this to say, if you try to appease the aggressor, they will try to get more next time, ignoring the treaties and agreements. It started with Sudetenland, then Czechoslovakia, then Poland, then France. Yes, Russia is partly motivated by our moral degeneration, but mostly by the believe that the Russian empire has a special place in the world, and it will be the world's saviour. What we really should do is talk to Putin and establish, that even though it may not seem like it from Moscow, we are still sane, we are not all woke. But also, strongly oppose his imperialistic expansionism with force and resolve and if war is inevitable, honourably engage in it rather than cowardly run away from it.

How do you make (or perhaps frame) the argument that an insistence on neutrality is the aggressive stance? Also keep in mind that Ukraine has the 2nd largest military in Europe, and they've been consistently building up their military strength, and placing said military strength on the western border. One more thing to keep in mind is that the Russians were invited into the conflict by Ukrainians as well. Of course in regards to that civil war, who are the aggressors in that situation as well? Is it the government shelling their own civilians, or is the civilians on the receiving end of the shelling the aggressor?

I would like to remind you Jalta after WW2 and all other decisions that were made above heads of other countries. Yes, the will of the people does count, but others have to agree to that. Regarding Ukraine: Russia and EU has to agree. Without agreement and support from EU, Ukraine would fall into Russians hands, without asking Ukrainians what they want. Currently, Russia disagrees with what Ukrainians want, thus there is a war. Does the will of Ukrainians count at all? Yes. Can they decide only by themselves? No. It is sad but true. I am a Pole, we share the history and we should learn from the history. History is teaching: your will counts, but you're not the one who decides, unless you are a global power (even if tou are, other global powers have to at least silently agree to what you're doing)

Outstanding comment.

I have the greatest respect for you, Dr Peterson. Your thinking has influenced me (and still is). What's more: there are a lot of lies about this statement in the internet. A lot of commentators just lie about it, adding remarks to it that you've never formulated. Nevertheless: 1) I'm Polish. You should talk more about this war with your polish friends. In Poland the government and opposition are united in this particular subject. People from left to right know this: Russia is an enemy, not a friend. By God, we know it from our history. Not only because the USSR era. Albo because the Tsars. I respect Dostoyevsky too, but in his political wievs he clearly was an imperialist and saw Poles as the lesser men. We are not a superpower but we've already declared or donated $1.81bln military aid to our Ukrainian neighbours. We stand firmly with them. 2) You should be very careful when describing Putin. It's good that you condemned his actions. But I can tell that in some sense you admire him. He is strong, Trudeau is weak: I won't argue with that. But that's not a good strength. He is not a just ruler. King Arthur, Louis the Saint or Casimir the Great (one of the greatest polish kings). He is not a Jungian father. He is a demon. He is a tyrant. And whether he is Hitler-like psychopath, or clever and intelligent Snake from the Garden of Eden it's not important. Evil must be oppose - yes, even with the leftists on our side. 3) You've brought up the Treaty of Versailles. Let me remind you of the Munich Peace (!) Conference. That's when the West nations sold the Czechs to Hitler, believing that they're avoiding war. They only postponed it for less than a year.

He's a class A hypocrite, he may appear to be an intellectually free minded thinker on the surface, but the reality is that he's just another heavily indoctrinated statist whom ultimately believes that, those tiny groups of illegitimate establishment psychopath crooks across the world, which go around calling themselves "governments", sit higher than God, higher than (true..) Freedom and have a higher claim over everyone elses lifes, property, incomes than they the people themselves do(!) ... Ironically, I bumped into an old psychology student from my college teaching days this past weekend and he asked me what I thought about Mr Peterson,.. 'Well, for such an well read, well spoken, well schooled, astute and apparently intelligent man, he actually still has the statist indoctrinated mindset of a juveniled slave, I said, he wants the very 'demonstrable' psychopaths he openly criticises on a daily basis, to continue in their illegitimacy to live like gods amongst man ruling as masters over him and everyone else, because he believes the masses are dumb, weak and utterly incapable of existing without masters there to rule over them, he slights them with one hand and worships them with the other and hopes nobody notices (Just like Alex Jones!).. I've seriously had second year students with an higher degree of intellectual maturity, individuality and intellectual standards than he, but unfortunately many of the pre prepped minds of the droning masses with their own indoctrinated wilful slave statist mindsets, will sadly buy whatever he has to sell because, like him they won't/can't personally or publicly acknowledge that they actually worship the same masters, that he considers himself a Christian too.. I find very amusing in a not so funny kind of way(!) He'll tell people that their gov masters are destroying the whole world and then tell them, that the answer is to support them even more by participating in the illegitimate systems which were specifically designed, constructed and inplaced by the very groups he says are destroying the world(!) .. My former student replied with a nervous voice, "Hmm, yeah.. I thought there was something off about him, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it(!?)". 'Hmm?', I said with a chuckle... I taught you in class many times over just how increadibly potent the establishments statist Indoctrination is and how it 'will' claw you back, entrap you and cloud the mind with pre seeded biases of submission if you don't keep your own mind truly free, self empowered and well exercised.. I think you must have let your mind get out of shape to have missed such a thing, because at college you wouldn't have missed such an obvious thing about Mr Peterson, none of my students would(!) He pulled a defeatist expression and nodded whilst looking down, if 'you' do not claim, train and own your own minds, then others 'will' always seek to own them for you(!)' I responded, this was always my opening statement at the beginning of my classes and you should have remembered that, I expressed.. And what else did I teach(?!) That all truly great minds are Anarcho-Volunteerist because, they see government/statism for what it really is (enslavement) and if self empowerment, honesty, freedom and morality matter to such great minds then Anarcho-Volunteerism is really their only recourse, and none of which can be applied to Mr Peterson, "you're not wrong(!)" he responded,.. 'statist Indoctrination is very potent isn't it(?), Though it's coming back to me as you speak, I can't believe I'd forgotten so many important things, that I'd once learned and had I remembered would have made life much easier at certain times looking back on it!'. It's been nearly twenty five years since he finished my class but, in that moment of self realisation and honesty he was a FAR wiser intellectual & individual than Mr Peterson could (currently..) ever claim to be! And he isn't punting himself as a mighty intellect and voice of reason, he left college and became a ordinary joiner in the building trade. But Mr Peterson is seriously bringing home the bacon now, so he'll say exactly what his masters have deemed okay for him to say and nothing else, he's just another Alex Jones false prophet type, he just doesn't sound like a crazy moron when he talks.

The concept of Theosis is so fascinating. At the end, everything will be transformed. The entire Cosmos itself.

I respect Dr Peterson and I think that he's doing an important job of opposing marxist ideas resurfacing in the West, but he clearly doesn't know what he's talking about when he's speaking of ideology that drives this war inside Russia. I've been living in Russia my whole life, and not in Moscow, inside a truly privileged echochamber, theorizing about "Russia's unique destiny" while sipping Starbucks coffee, but in Siberia, in coal mining towns. Russian people aren't religious in any way a Westerner would define that concept: very few people pray, they very rarely visit churches on some special occasions, there's no abortion dispute (there's no pro-life arguments whatsoever, just pure economic calculations whether a kid is affordable), abortions and divorces are ubiquitous, and despite harsh anti-LGBT laws, homosexuality is commonplace here, ingrained in the "prison culture" and its echos, still widespread beyond large cities. So no, it's not the opposition to the West's "decadence" that drives this war, Russia itself is infinitely more decadent than an outsider's perspective would suggest. The real reason, I think (granted, I have no means of verifying this claim, since open discussions on this topic are forbidden in Russia, and not "oh my God, they suspended me on Twitter, this is the end of free speech" type of restriction but rather "you find yourself in jail and out of work" type) is purely economic in its nature. The 90's have been a true nightmare for the Russian people, when incredible economic turmoil coinciding with previously unheard of levels of crime, resulted in a struggle for survival of such intensity that when Putin took office and restored an approximation of law and order, he truly became the champion of the people. That 90's turmoil became synonymous in the minds of many Russians with the West and the process of "democratization", hence when Putin started using "stability" in contrast with the Western influence as his main electoral promise, it resonated strongly. Surely, in the last 10 or so years our propaganda went absolutely ballistic, it criticized the West from every point of view, including the ones Jordan mentions, but very few people view this confrontation as fighting on ideological or moral front, it's the same Putin's "we have to do X in order to preserve our stability" rhetoric. Yes, he himself probably believes in some vaguely defined Dugin's "third way" notions, in his historical mission, but for the majority inside the country, it's simple "us vs them" blank form that can be filled with nationalist, imperialist, religious or any other ideological nonsense, but at the core lies the fear of losing what little we managed to acquire after the 90's.

The things are much more simple, as an Eastern European I can say situation is black and white, our region suffers enough from russia's imperialism, we as a civilized world must end it, entire generations were doomed by the russians, if I have to pay higher prices, I'll do it. And you talk about NATO expansion, it was the best political decision of our government, if it wasn't for NATO, we would be already invaded or next in the list, same is for EU, which pushed us apart from russia'a slavery. It's obviosly he is a westerner who never suffered russia's brutality.

We have individuals who genuinely are unintelligent or purposely obtuse leading this nation and many government agencies. America is doomed to fall until it's citizens open their eyes and thoroughly vet candidates. That goes for both sides, by the way, as in conservative circles, they look for a different ideology, rather than the intelligence of the individual, leading to candidates that can be easily corrupted and manipulated.

The DPR and LPR never pursued good will negociations with the Ukrainian government because Moscow was preparing the war since 2014 (annexion of Crimea) and was instructing them to stand their ground. After the catastrophic withdrawal of the Americans from Afghanistan, Putin saw a sign of weakness and used that opportunity to launch a full scale invasion that involves bombing Kiev and all the regions of Ukraine. It is now clear that the DPR and LPR had no interest in fair negociations with Zelensky. He was elected on a promise to make peace with Russia, but Russia was preparing the war back then and had no will to negociate with them. You can't blame a leader for failing to negociate with an adversary that has denied the right of Ukrainians to exist as a nation and has never pursued peace negociations except to gain time before the invasion.

It is indeed a region that is suspected to have rich resources but it has not been prospected, and Romania prefers to move towards nuclear energy for energy solutions. But again, it's Black sea, Caspian sea is really more of a lake while Black sea is connected to the planetary ocean.

This video is in fact a perfect example of why the scientists/professors turned media persons should rather stick to their initial field of expertise (if any). It's a very appealing paradigm to think of yourself as a jack-of-all-trades analyst once you became dizzy from all the praise and acclaim from millions of followers. Here JP shows nothing but a shallow and prejudiced analysis of the events he in fact has a very little understanding of. All the presumptions and conclusions given are grounded solely on JPs personal attitude and beliefs regarding the Russians and their culture. Anyway, how can one be negative towards the culture that gave the world the greatest writer of all, right? The problem with JPs analysis is that he thinks that Dostoyevsky helps him understanding what Russia is, while in fact it helps us all see what Russia is not. And what it never will be. The misguided conclusions here were in fact predetermined by the initial mistake of the approach taken for analyses of this kind of events. Rather than focusing on subjects where JPs has a little to nothing expertise (like the history of geopolitical relationships of the post-soviet countries and a centuries-old history of the territories where Ukraine and Russia are located), he should have concentrated on something where he’s indeed and acknowledged expert - clinical psychology. And maybe, he would be persistent enough to take off the blinders and to see with whom by the psychological definition Ukraine and the rest of the world are dealing in this conflict: a psychopath with megalomania and morbid thanatophobia. A person that once stated openly (in 2005) that Dissolution of the Soviet Union was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century (sure, worth than WWI and WWII combined). Do you, Mr. Peterson, really need to seek further for any reasonable explanation of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine after such a statement? Isn’t the action self-explanatory and isn’t the goal self-evident? Would love to see JPs follow up to this video after VPs speech on September the 30th, where he literally accused West of its perpetual ambition to annihilate Russia and its cultural identity basically for its (Russia’s) refusal to become a part of the western world. And, getting back to JPs field of expertise, this seems like a classical projective identification, where all these actions are driven by the appetite for revenge for simply being rejected by the western world. Just like a deeply unsecured yet aggressive man is unable to cope with rejection from a woman he admires. The only true goal perceived here is resurrection of once great empire, that once ruled half the world, the Soviet empire. It is the past that fights the future in a desperate attempt to stop the time. As if bringing past back to life may somehow bring back our own youth and grace along with it, and maybe even bring such a coveted immortality. Which is of course a complete self-delusion. There’s a saying they have in Russia " zri v korjen' ” which means get to the root of the matter. But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear, says the Bible. Thus, will JP be finally able to see and to hear without prejudice and finally get to the root of the matter? But then again, Dostoevsky and stuff... P.S. Was just about to read JPs “12 Rules”, but not quite sure now.. There’re some blatant lies in this video (possibly taken form Russian's propaganda narratives), thus, may there be similar lies in 12 Rules?

Thank you for your work 🙏

I enjoy most of Dr. Peterson's lectures and interviews (of himself and of others) and I usually find them intellectually stimulating and insightful. However, in his analysis of the Russo-Ukrainian War, I believe most of his analysis was off target. The density of topics covered forces me to be brief in any rebuttal. The meta critiques of Dr. Peterson's analysis are 1) the lack of reciprocity of analysis, 2) a cavalier dismissal of any investment by democratically committed nations in the outcome of this invasion, 3) the focus on threats to Russia while excluding threats to other nations, 4) the neglect of the sovereign rights of nations that Russia chooses to dominate, 5) the failure to project beyond the current conflict other than doomsday predictions for the West should Russia be thwarted in its objectives, 6) an overemphasis on ancillary causes, and 7) the shifting of moral responsibility onto the West to extricate Putin from a catastrophe of his own making. I will comment on a few of these points. These comments are only illustrative. Space does not allow anything more exhaustive. 1) Reciprocity of analysis is lacking, among other examples, on the significance of a nuclear arsenal. As I understand the argument, nuclear weapons are extremely dangerous and confronting Russia risks the annihilation of Western civilization. However, the West also has a huge nuclear arsenal that is every bit as dangerous to Russia. That is the problem with trying to use nuclear weapons to intimidate other nuclear powers. You have to convince them that you are willing to act irrationally to destroy the very nation you are trying to preserve. This is one example among many on the issue of reciprocity. 2) The statement that the West or at least the U.S. and Canada don't care about Ukraine. That buries a larger truth under a partial reality. Beyond specific concern for Ukraine per se, a much larger issue that is critical to the West is the defense of a rules based world order. There is a chance to turn the corner on 19th Century realpolitik and 20th Century wars of conquest, ideological hegemony, and ethnic expansion. Much of the world is committed to turning this corner, but more than gentle persuasion will be required to convince autocratic leaders that international bullying will have costs beyond their expected gains. 3) The point that Russia feels threatened by Ukraine's turn to the West (presumably justifying, to some extent, the invasion and terror campaign in Ukraine. It doesn't take much awareness of international news to know that Poland feels threatened by the invasion, as does Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Moldova, and Georgia. Most people are aware of the huge pivot to NATO membership by Finland and Sweden as a result of the invasion of Ukraine. These reactions make it quite obvious that many countries now part of the Western community of free and democratic forms of government are quite concerned about Russia either absorbing Ukraine or turning it into a satellite state and the implications with respect to future, hegemonic adventurism. Much of the West feels real existential angst over a Russian victory in Ukraine. That point is left out of Dr. Peterson's analysis. To wrap things up, I'll jump to point 6) for a last example. The titular theme of Dr. Peterson's analysis is the argument that a significant motivating factor for the invasion might be Putin's quest to reverse the moral decline of the West. This may be a theme that is convenient to sell to a captive audience in Russia. Every national group wishes to perceive itself as holding the moral high ground. This is especially true in times of significant national sacrifice and conflict where the horrors of war need a counterbalancing justification. I have no idea how much of a threat to Russia Putin perceives from a more socially liberal society in Ukraine. Was he really fearful that tolerance of homosexual relationships might infest Russia from across the Ukraine border? That seems like a remote fear considering the control he wields over Russian society and his successful persecution of homosexuals in Russia. What seems more likely is that the more significant threat to Putin's autocracy is the possibility of an economically and socially thriving democracy on his border. Especially if individual rights are honored and protected by a legal system committed to the rule of law. It is difficult for me to argue that we should discourage democracies (or fail to support them) to prevent the exposure of the Russian populace to democratic prosperity. It is in our national interest to promote a world order that respects internationally established borders. That is nowhere more true than in the heart of Europe among new democracies trying to adopt the best ideas that the West has ever championed.

He said that he will talk to Putin and they will find a solution. After 3 long years of his presidency we can say that he never spoke with Putin one by one publicly (maybe he did privately, who knows).

That's not real. First, much of the Donbas and Crimea (which made up a significant portion of the East) were not part of the elections. Imagine an American election without NY and half of California. Second, the political parties that the east preferred were demonized and suppressed. Even then, the opposition party with the most seats was pro-Russian. Since then 15 political parties are banned in Ukraine (including that opposition party). Local press in the east is banned. Language rights have been rescinded. Free speech is curtailed. You can go to jail if you say the wrong thing online - the SBU is conducting nightly raids. This is not democracy. It's a sham and a flimsy one at that.

I think this insight is wrong. There are probably more than two ways to solve this situation. However, I think the implications for the future are overwhelming. The current generation's fear of confrontation with dictatorships will lead to much bloodier wars that future generations will have to fight. Only this time, not in foreign territory, but closer to home. Allowing 140 million inhabitants to continue usurping even larger areas of the territory of the European continent, I think is wrong and even unnecessary. Russia has had more than enough time to deal with the territory it has. Despite having all possible resources, both natural and financial, they have not achieved anything in half a century. Why should the world continue to allow the Russians to occupy and expand the territory they are unable to control.

Ukraine is essential for both sides. If Ukr would join EU - Russia can forget about beeing a major global player. Ukr is slavic and 1/3 of the size of Russia (by population). They would be doomed to be a satellite of either China or EU. Also he ignores the fact that Russians have already deported about 2mln Ukrainians to faaaar east, Asian parts of Russia, to colonize those regions with slavs - exactly what they were also doing throughout the history incl. WW2 (my grandparents were accused of beeing rich, all their properies were confiscated and they were deported to Asia from where they had to travel back undercover to Poland). Also, I'd like to remind everyone: Ukr+Poland is almost the size of Russia (population). Throughout the history, we were fighting together against Russia almost in every war.

JP suggesting, that Russians are protecting Ukrainians from rotten West and claiming, that Russian concerns in that department are legitimate - all that after evidence of ethnic cleansings in Bucha, kidnapping hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian citizens, enforced adoptions - is simply disgusting.

I like some JP stuff: the talk about lobster hierarchies, for example, is brilliant. This particular vid starts well, but goes sideways fast. The conjecture that Russia will somehow save the West and Christianity is laughable. And also a bit dangerous due to the propensity of the Russian media to play this kind of stuff to show how the "special military operation" is the right thing to do and condoned by enlightened westerners. Apparently, Vlad managed to convince JP that Russia is a Christian nation. Practicing Christianity in Russia and Soviet Union after 1917, and until the late 80's or so, was frowned upon significantly and rather limited. After all, Lenin referred to religion as "the opium of the masses". The idea that a KGB officer like Putin was perhaps a practicing Christian is a charming fantasy of a western academic. Putin the nationalist has been using religion in the last two decades as a political tool to give the Russians some sense of identity and history. Present day Russia, sadly, is a kleptocracy run by a dictator who gradually eliminated all opposition, independent media, any form of dissent. Hardly the prince in the shining armor to save all of Christianity. I suspect that JP is so anti-woke, that he got sucked into the trap of thinking that the Russian regime, no matter how corrupt, cynical, genocidal and toxic, is better than the woke drama that is consuming him. Also: Ukraine does not border the Caspian Sea; only the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea.

@@EastExplorer Interesting point about strengthening of religion by suppression. In my opinion, religion is a little bit like a language: If you don't practice it for a long time (in case of Russia for 3 generations), it will dwindle. For the bolsheviks, religion was an unwanted competition. So they went after it. And the Russians ain't subtle when they go about their business. Sure, some of the believers continued to practice underground, some of them dropped out of society entirely (the Old Believers come to mind). But overall, it has become inconvenient. If you openly practiced, you were putting your job and your kid's education in jeopardy. The ordinary Russians are survivors, and pragmatic. They had to go about their lives. They survived the tsars, Stalin, Hitler, the commies. They're not stoic because it's cool, but because it's all that's left. Some numbers from Wikipedia: The Soviet Communist Party destroyed churches, synagogues and mosques, ridiculed, harassed, incarcerated and executed religious leaders, flooded the schools and media with anti-religious teachings, and it introduced a belief system called "scientific atheism", with its own rituals, promises and proselytizers.[According to some sources, the total number of Christian victims under the Soviet regime has been estimated to range around 12 to 20 million. At least 106,300 Russian clergymen were executed between 1937 and 1941.
