Jordan petersons thoughts on the current goings on. One person I can never make up my mind about. Find he strikes a chord on a lot of stuff but he lets the mask slip a bit here.
Asks what’s in it for the west to see Ukraine win. I think he missed the bigger picture and is looking at it from individual selfishness and suggests Ukraine support is merely driven by goodwill.
On a geopolitical level it’s a major boost for US hegemony for Ukraine to win. Can he not see that selfish interest?? That’s the selfish interest driving support for Ukraine.
The iron curtain is 1000 miles further east than it was 30 years ago. Without a drop of US blood spilled.
Exactly. Interestingly the Baltic States and Czech Republic saying fleeing Russians are not welcome there.
Germany saying it'll be on case by case basis. God knows how that'll work
Un-paywalled Daily Beast summary of events in RuSSia in the past day or so. Love how Navalny's radio program pranked Peskov's son saying they were commissars calling him up with his enlistment information and he replied "Nahh, not me."
Russia Implodes After Putin Summons 300,000 to Die for Him
Don't trust a man who gets hair transplants then says his hair grew back naturally from a diet of pure red meat.
A pretentious ass with no sense of humour and who won't say anything in 50 words if it can be said in 300.
He also thinks climate change is a hoax.
Need we go on?
I think what's going to happen with this escalation is Ukraine will finally get ATACMS, NATO class Tanks like the Leopard and perhaps even Jets like the F16.
Russia has used nearly all its smart munitions, it's air force is petrified of operations over Ukraine and it has lost most of its most modern equipment. Beyond throwing human waves at the Ukrainians I'm not sure what the Russians can do.
If they use any WMDs they will find NATO boots on the ground and the chances that Poland will retake Königsberg.
Russia are fuked.
It has been happening. Governments have already collapsed, there's no way more won't fall throughout this winter
Italian government collapsed, Boris Johnson got ousted, Sweden moving to the far right for example.
i struggle to understand what ever he is talking about. He seems to always be on about cancel culture/global warming/nazis/ and how he receives a lot of hate online. He doesn’t get his point across clearly.
If he had left it at the energy crisis observations it would have been enough.
Buryatia has about 150k people so 3000 drafted is significant
It's very telling how you are prophesising doom for Ukraine and the EU but neglect to make any predictions for Russia.
Don’t really know what Peterson is talking about there. Very unclear.
Used to like him, he talks a lot of sense on some things, but am increasingly questioning his motives.
Dunno why his views on the war are more relevant than anyone else’s.
Oh dear
Meanwhile at the UN
They have played a blinder at the UN since this started especially Sergiy Kyslytsya
I think it's full mobilisation in the impoverished ethnic Republics and the far-eastern oblasts. Partial mobilisation for oblasts near Moscow and St Petersburg. Basically they're trying to thread a fine line between maximising the number of warm bodies they can throw into Ukraine while at the same time minimising the threat to the Kremlin from a domestic backlash.
I think we are witnessing the first steps in the destruction of the Russian federation
That is some burrrrrrrnnnnnn
Any video of this with Lavrov walking off?
I don't think there is any chance they will have the money to grind anyone down. The cold war ended in the defeat of the USSR because the US outspent them. (Communism not working, also helped.)
That was why they stopped....right in the middle of nowhere too, so nowhere to escape to. Miles and miles of endless flat terrain. And I'm pretty sure that there are armed guards in that convoy. For the protection of the travelers of course .🙄
The UN becomes more irrelevant with every sitting. Colossal waste of time and air miles and utterly useless at preventing and solving major conflict
Walking I imagine him having an anti gravity device like baron harkonnen.
There is really no way to rehabilitate Russia with regards to the west for at least a generation.
They are casually threatening us with Nuclear apocalypse cos they can't run a war properly on a daily basis.
It's something I can't personally ever forgive, to put all our families in danger. **** Putin, **** Russia.
Only because they allowed Russia to run amok since it's foundation
Italian government collapsing is nothing to do with Ukraine, they have had 70 Governments in 72 years.
The Ukraine war actually helped Johnson cling on for a few extra months.
Sweden doesn't yet have a new government, when it does it will not be a far right government. It will likely be led by the centre right and have some far right ministers as it will be a coalition.
I think he needs to go back into rehab
He's never actually had the plot, but whatever tenuous grasp of it has disappeared completely
Anyone who still supports Peterson is a fool
It's an absolute waffle shop rogber
Look at that farce today as an example, it will change nothing.
by all accounts putin is planning to mobilise approx a million soldiers .. the 300k is only for appeasement optics back home..
Used to listen a lot to Peterson when he first entered the scene but I find it tough to listen to him now. He makes a lot of sense at times but he is way overexposed. I don't think he's a right wing nut but he will thread the line of saying something border line very sensationalist on a sensitive topic very important to many people but will be vague enough to leave himself enough wiggle room to explain it away when the poop hits the fan.
The video above is a classic example. "Everybody has a bit of Hilter in them" I've heard him say this before and his point is that if your were living in Germany in the 40's under Hitlers rule that you would have possibly fallen in line too, ie everybody has the propensity for evil. "What is in it for the West?" He goes on to say Ukraine in ruins isn't much of a victory, well he's correct here. There are no winners here, many innocent men women and children dead and the seeds sown for generational hate between citizens of Ukraine and Russia to last decades long after this war ends is no kind of victory.
Peterson is intelligent and he loves the limelight and knows how to keep his name relevant but the more I listen to him lately the less speeches of substance I hear.
I don't agree that we got gas from Russia to "save the planet". These gas deals were made by businessmen because they made sense to them financially. Peterson is usually good but he sometimes goes outside his remit.
I also think Putin IS a Hitler. He is an invader and megalomaniac who allows all kinds of evil if it helps him get what he wants. He is the only real Hitler in Europe since Hitler.
Sounds like everyday politics to me.
It's a debate that has been ongoing since 1991, but time to declare Russia as the Successor State to the USSR as opposed to the Continuing State of the USSR, there's a reason why the UN Charter has never changed to recognise Russia as a P5 member (it still lists the USSR in the Charter), after the Alma-Atta Protocol it just seemed to become the status quo, with lawyers and legal scholars debating the issue ever since, it has never been resolved legally.
