As a leftist from Eastern Europe, I want to thank you. I've seen so many western leftists adopt a Russian apologist stance out of a mixture of Soviet fetishization and "America bad, therefore Russia good" that it felt like a slap on the face. It made me realize that so many of them see the words "American imperialism" and get mad at the first part, not the second. So thank you, for being a voice of reason.
It's an inverted American exceptionalism. Instead of believing that America is responsible for all of the world's greatest things, they believe America is responsible for all of the world's problems. They can't fathom that the rest of the world has lives outside of whatever America is doing
@@Gloomdrake It's not inverted, it's the exact same idea: America is the only "player" on the world stage, every other country is an NPC that simply acts according to simple AI. Thus if the world is unbalanced, it's America's fault.
what you're saying is what most liberals accuse leftists of when they have a russian apologist stance that is due to being anti war. Also kinda strange you don't seem aware of the anti-war stance...
Only Americans have agency. The rest of us are too stupid to notice we're just pawns in their games, and too weak to do anything about it even if we knew.
If your foreign policy is just “America Bad” and your main source is Chomsky, then you don’t get to call other people America-centric, and I say this as an American Leftist
Nothing in the world can happen unless either America is behind it (if it's bad), or America is trying to stop it (if it's good). This is effective because with this belief there is no need to grapple with the actual events happening.
americans are incredibly insular, for the most part. some stateside leftists manage to develop some perspective on the world outside US borders, but many unfortunately don’t.
@@mj.l I'd like to think that I've worked to developing some sense of that, but I haven't really thought of myself as American in a long time. I'm really just stuck here: I feel no real loyalty to it, and have more of the feelings one would associate with patriotism towards my home state, the LGBT community, and the Esperantujo. I care about the general state of America because this is where I and all of my family and loved ones live and this is where I have to spend my foreseeable future, but not because I think it's either the best or worst thing to have ever happened to the world.

Why would anyone would take Jordan Peterson seriously on this subject?... at all... he is a psychologist/psychiatrist... His knowledge of history and understanding of military matters is microscopic.
His fans take everything he says as some ultimate authority. It's infuriating how he gets carte blanche by some people while displaying some truly terrible ignorance of history.
To be fair, he wrote a book (Maps of Meaning), which investigates some of the reasons people do evil things. For this he used (I think) lots of examples from history. So he is atleast knowledgeable on the subject. Disclaimer: I didn't read this book, so I could be entirely wrong. However, I got the sense, from listening to interviews and podcasts, that my statement isn't that far from the truth.
Ukrainian here, sad part to realise is that for all these people this war is just the reality show where they base their opinion on personal preferences and not necessarily the truth and facts. Really frustrating when people are dying literally every day and certain individuals with some level of influence are spreading misinformation (no matter if they want the war to end or continue) that's gonna have a negative impact and all of this nightmare is only gonna continue because of it. Only positive side is that most people are actually in favour of justice and I'm thankful for that.
the truth is even for people like you it is a reality tv show too,lol. but for you it's more a war drama. you're so obsessed with your truth and facts it helps you ignore the reality of the extent of the suffering. yu only have to nod to it's existance. you don't have actually weigh it.
@Antonio Gramsci but your argument was literally a whataboutism. And I know it may sound crazy to you but you know that you can live without supporting the rape and killing of certain group of people based on their ethnicity and just be a normal good human being? A shocker I know
As a Ukranian, the Hullomador bit was always really funny to me, because yeah, just like you said, it's really funny to claim to "know a lot about Ukraine" and not get the name of the famine right
OMG. Hi from Zhytomyr lol! Hullomador sounds like something straight out of Lord of the Rings to me XD Omg, what an arrogant douche. Can't believe I actually watched him couple years ago

@@viktorias63 I really used to enjoy Jordan Peterson, and I still think he has plenty of interesting things to say.

If Hitler said that beer is good, it does not mean, that you should drink a camel pee now. Nothing to be ashamed of. He is still more conscious than Waters, Hasan, and a lot of Western politicians and academia. I am from Ukraine.
I think for some leftists I know, their stance on Ukraine comes from a sort of cultural/political narcissism that exists here in the US. To the people actually living in Ukraine, many of their positions sound like “Ukrainians, please give up chunks of your territory and population so that we can feel comfortable and satisfied with ourselves again, knowing we are staying pure by opposing lethal aid to Ukraine.” It’s this attitude of thinking they know what’s best for Ukrainians and if only they could see the error of their ways, they would pursue peace at any cost. And what gets me is, at least among the good faith leftists like Hasan, they don’t even realize their attitude is essentially a western chauvinist mindset, just coming from the left in their case.
I think for some liberals I know, their stance on Ukraine comes from a sort of cultural/political narcissism that exists here in the US. To the people actually living in Ukraine, many of their positions sound like "Ukrainians, I know we couldn't find your country on a map a few months ago, but we are all Ukrainian nationalists now, trust us! You will now all fight in this endless war with our training and weapons to the last Ukrainian! You must fight all the Russians by yourself, it's important for the future of the free world and democracy! But we won't send any of our own troops though, good luck!" It's this attitude of thinking everyone in Ukraine loves America and hates Russia and wants to pursue war at any cost.
@@danielshepard2315 Don’t pretend to care about Ukrainians. You want to make the nuclear war/ww3 argument, then fine, I can at least understand the argument. Either way, the disingenuous and lazy sarcasm doesn’t help your case my friend.
I love how this criticism of Americentric thinking is only ever levied at anti war western leftists, never at western politicians who are pro war. Fascinating.
@lisaw150 "anti imperialist left" "supporting NATO" pick one, you can't have both. Do you KNOW the actual anti imperialist leftists who've been arguing to abolish NATO since the cold war who are now being smeared as lovers of Putin because the invasion they've been warning about since the 1990's actually happened?
@lisaw150 NATO doesn't prevent invasions, it causes them and carries them out. The US pledging to bring Ukraine and Georgia into NATO in 2006 is what lead to the invasions of those countries later. NATO is a way for the US to absorb countries into the American military system, it's not a "defensive alliance", it turns countries into militarized US vassal states. If for example you are Ukraine and don't want to be invaded, the best way to do that is to stay neutral. Trying to align with NATO while you are on Russia's border is the single worst thing you can do to "avoid and invasion" because that pretty much guarantees retaliatory action from Russia. It doesn't matter if Ukraine joins NATO now, because they already de facto joined NATO when after 2014 when west Ukrainian protesters overthrow the pro Russian government, and installed a pro western government that started getting billions of dollars of weapons and training from the US and running joint military exercises with NATO. Ukraine's existence is not what is being fought over here, it's whether Ukraine is more subservient to Russian or American interests, that's what the conflict is actually over.
As someone who grew up on lots of punk and hip, learning alsorts of leftist politics, i am still extremely disappointed by many western leftists. The overal theme seems to be "america bad", with no accounting for infinitely complex geopolitical relationships and world history. Im still a leftist, but this has really encouraged me to get outside of those echo chambers. Slava Ukrani!
Yeah, those guys are basically just entertainers and it doesn't mean that leftism doesn't have validity now. Denmark is still one of the best places to live in in the world and that won't change just because of a dumb Hasan take.
@Lisa W I honestly don't think it's a lot of leftist, maybe in Germany, but not elsewhere. The leftist I do see take pro-Russian stances is mostly among the old, you know, people who's still stuck back in the 70's - and haven't yet figured out that Russia isn't the continuum of the USSR they spend years idealising. Heck, the USSR wasn't even anywhere near the utopia they thought it was. The groups I see take pro-Kremlin position is mostly on the far-right, and in conspiracy assumption circles, (a segment of people who have some overlap with both the far-left and the far-right, but usually mostly the latter, and depending on which side they fall to they are usually very Christian or very "Spiritual"). I also see a small group of refugees being drawn towards the Kremlin narrative, but mostly out of distrust for the US. Especially in my country, (one of the Scandinavian ones), most of the left, see this war as a war against war! It's seen as a necessity that Russian imperialist aggression isn't rewarded!

It just goes to show that people are happy to have absolutely terrible takes because they just can’t fathom that they might end up on the same side of the debate are somebody they usually disagree with and really have built an identity around hating. I don’t like American colonialism, I am very suspicious of American foreign policy, but that doesn’t mean that by default anything the Americans say is automatically a lie, and whoever they are saying it’s about is automatically good. That’s literally still confirmation bias. It’s just as dumb to believe everything you are told as it is to disbelieve everything you are told. Critical thinking, requires a case by case basis, Not deciding your allegiances, just because of whose mouth it is coming out of. I would argue. It’s perfectly reasonable to think that the Americans are working in bad faith, as well as the Russians, and yet still believe that Ukraine deserves help to defend itself. All of these points aren’t mutually exclusive.
You’re right, but a lot of the accusations being thrown by Vatniks are just ridiculous because they show they have absolutely no understanding of how organisations such as NATO works and calling everything remotely related to American interests American Imperialism while at the same time refusing to acknowledge that some of the worst offenders of American Imperialist ideology is supporting Russia and what Russia is doing is the most clear cut example of old-school empire building through military conquest attempt we've seen in a very long time! Also, USA isn’t trying to make Ukraine a vassal state of the US, Russia on the other hand is! Ukraine isn5 trying to become part of the US, it’s trying to become accepted into the European community! Only people who doesn’t have a clue thinks the US controls NATO and the EU! Sometimes even countries with a shitty past, (like most of us, but of course also the US), can see the benefit of acting responsible - and Vatniks are trying to tell us that it doesn’t make a difference! However, I’m sure that if I’ve made a living of robbing banks, then it doesn’t mean I shouldn’t spend any money on charity or that those who get it, doesn’t deserve it!
American interests are served by Ukraine independence. Nations don't have morals. The US (er...our) interests just happen to correspond with freedom and democracy THIS TIME. ...A refreshing change. Russia has put its' foot in a bear trap. The more of their resources they destroy, the less of a player on the world stage they are.
No one cares what you like or don't like, what actions are you actually advocating for? You can say "American colonialism/militarism is bad" all day, doesn't matter if you don't actually do anything about it. This isn't a new concept. America is doing the same thing they did throughout the entire cold war, expanding NATO and arming/training whatever group is convenient for them to weaken Russia's geopolitical interests. In this case, they turned Ukraine into a militarized American sattelite state since 2014 by overthrowing the pro Russian government and cutting off Russia's land access to Crimea and the black sea. American's are using west Ukrainians to further their own geopolitical interests, just like Russia is using East Ukrainians to further their own interests. This is nothing more than a war between the US and Russia with Ukrainian bodies. And it could of been easily avoided by simply keeping Ukraine neutral and not trying to weaken Russia with NATO/military expansion.

Hello from Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine. Thank you for your work in combating Mordor propaganda! And I am also grateful for the Ukrainian folk song "Oh, there is a red viburnum in the meadow" at the end of the video. This song gives me goosebumps.
"Civil war" is also a Russian propaganda taking point. 1. It started when foreign troops ceased government buildings in Sloviansk. 2. The leadership and command of these so called separatists are Russians citizens including literally Russian intelligence officers (Girkin himself for one). 3. The whole brigades of Russian marines "getting lost" in Ukraine as Putin himself put it (are we children or have an IQ south of 70). 4. Minsk agreement is signed between Ukraine and Russia with OSCE as a mediator calling to withdraw foreign troops from Ukraine among other things. One gotta be very special or quite dishonest to call that a civil war.
It worked on the people it needed to work on: the voting public in major EU powers and the US. Distracted by ISIS and racistly used to conflict in Eastern Europe (completely ignoring that most of it is started by Russia) it just became a short segment at the end of news “alleged” this and “alleged” that.
The sheer amount of approving and rejoicing comments of ordinary Russians under videos of the atrocities committed against civilians in Ukraine were no less a shock for Ukrainians than the war itself. We have somehow got used to the war, but the realization of who we have been living next to all this time, without even knowing it, is still terrifying. Those creatures call themselves our brothers. Imagine what they would do to you who they call their enemies if you let them.
I am from Ukraine, watched war start in 2014 in Donbass, then watched it to continue in Kyiv. Minsk agreements WERE held by Ukraine. All of the points which were possible to implement WERE implemented. Decentralization was one of the biggest points which gave great results on our economy. On ethnic russian genocide by Ukraine. In 2014 I was a university teacher in Donetsk. I was reading my lectures, filled my documents and spoke to students in russian language. Then russian troops came and turned out that I was heavily oppressed.
You were a sucker. 😂 The use of Russian in universities was banned. The fact that you flaunted the rules does speak more about the situation in Ukraine overall and not the official policy. You probably also got grants from the West and all your peers benefited from being suckers for Kiev and Soros. Now, the people that rose up against Kiev did not extract any benefits from being in Ukraine.
Hearing Jorden P Beaterston talk, always leaves me in stunned disbelief. No one will ever compare to his ability to take an infinite amount of time, to say absolutely nothing.
I just don't understand why people like Jordan Peterson. He has a degree in psychology. Somehow that makes him knower of everything? He speaks in dribble. I knew America was actually telling the truth about what was going on when they predicted what Russia was doing and it turned out to be true. This may be one of the only times America was balls to the wall open.

Roger Waters appears to have never got over the death of his father in WWII. Eric Waters was a former pacifist who changed his views (possibly as a result of fatherhood) joined the army, became an officer and was killed at Anzio in February 1944 when his son was only 6 months old. Roger's take on war such as in "Us and Them" [Dark Side of the Moon] and "When the Tigers Broke Free" [The Final Cut] depicts commanders coldly indifferent to the suffering of their troops. What he didn't and doesn't seem to understand is that wars against a pitiless aggressor have to be fought and that who lives and who dies is unfair and often arbitrary. Fortunately people like his own father thought differently, served and sacrificed themselves and Nazism was defeated 15 months later.

So it makes us sad when countries like Hungary violates our trust and turn away from the path we've set out on together when we accepted the country into our community!

The thing that annoys me is this delusional idea that Ukraine is still a sovereign country when it's completely propped up by billions of dollars of US spending funding their infrastructure, military and even paying their pensions.

I honestly would respect him more if he just stuck to his guns and said what he clearly thinks. At best he doesn't care about Ukraine and at worst he hates Ukraine.
Hasan does not understand politics because he is lazy / incapable of analyzing complex subjects, he should stick to watching lolcow videos Unfortunately, people stick to watch him because he is handsome, I can give him that
I have mostly managed to avoid him, but whenever I do come across him it baffles me that people hold him up as smart. He's just using long words, terms that have no relevance to the discussion and fancy sounding quotes to appear smart. Truly the idiots genius.

11:17 fun fact: the partial autonomy - e.i. decentralisation, as per Minsk Agreement 2 - had been applied for all Ukraine's regions that were not occupied by Russia after 2014.
The amnesty for Ukrainian citizens taking part in war still exists. It was one of the points that was implemented One can give up themselves to authorities, and if no war crimes were committed then one is free to go on a parole.
Cheers from Zaporizhzhya! Everything you said is spot-on. A little word about ethnic russians in Ukraine: a lot of people in Ukraine were born in russia (and I'm not talking about 150 thousand good russians) I got some of my friends who are ethnic russians saying that they are sorry and ashamed of their homeland while both of us being bombed and sitting in a bomb shelter. What I'm getting at is if your first reaction to any syren Yobana Rusnya, you are Ukrainian. And yeah, and after speaking with these people, there ain't no ethnic russians in Ukraine :)

It says a lot about American political discourse when a needless war can be politicised to the point where it's a culture war talking point and not the complex situation it actually is
That’s how I feel too. The right (especially the MAGA faction) has trivialized the horrors in Ukraine down to their idiotic culture war. Like if you support Ukraine, then that must somehow mean you support the notion of drag Queen story telling for Ukrainian children.
The problem is that liberal NATO supporters are the ones oversimplifying the conflict, not leftists. There was an 8 year long civil war along with a multi decade long ethnic, generational and cultural conflict between East and West Ukrainians. All of them have legitimate grievances, but American liberals just think everyone in Ukraine just loves the west and hates Russia and Russia just randomly attacked one day while the US decided to step in and defend democracy. That's massive propaganda and oversimplification.
Wait...wtf does the conflict in Ukraine have to do with Ketanji Brown Jackson's nomination on the U.S.'s Supreme Court? Jordy's making even less sense than usual here...and that's effin' saying something. Well, dunna what I was expecting from the guy who was screeching on Twitter that some public bathroom in Canada had a sign asking people to use fewer paper towels... 😂😂😂

Ben Shapiro is a supporter of Ukraine. He claimed conseratives that support Russia thinking that it's a traditional religious country are stupid, since Russia loves to crack down on Christian churches. He also criticized conseratives for making fun of the way Zelensky was dressed in camo clothe when he met with Biden.
@@Coliflower185 Ben Shapiro reminds me a lot of Bill O'Reilly: generally a loathsome personality and someone I disagree with 95% of the time, but he is genuinely presenting *his* beliefs rather than insincerely selling someone else's agenda.
Oh Noam "The west is under a totalitarian rule worse than the Soviet Union because I can't watch Lavrov on RT on cable" Chomsky. Who could ever forget?
Chomsky is an idealist on foreign policy when it comes to the US but then when it comes to the enemies of US hegemony he rapidly turns into a realist talking about how states have a natural desire to have defensive buffers, something which he would rightly call an imperialist front for establing spheres of influence if the US was the country in question.
@@getagrip7474 Sort of. You can measure that the temperature is 20 degrees C. That's objectively true. But at the same time, it can be relatively true that one person can feel too hot while another person can feel too cold. The problem comes when someone ignores that nuance and believes that any and all truth can be relative. If we measure the temperature at 20 degrees C, and we all agree that the measuring device is working properly, but someone still says, "No. The truth is that it's 30 degrees C", they're not expressing a relative or subjective truth. They are lying.
@@barbaros99 no even here you are wrong. the device in fact may not be working and that person is right. anyway the truth is objective in either case, but in either case someone fails to communicate it truthfully be that the majority and the thermometer or the 1 person. Similarly with victims of assault the victim may be lying or the assaulters may be lying. Some people ware way better at dedecuing the truth, or maybe certain truths in certain situations and other people are better at other truths.
Hasan's weird acts of defending Non-Western countries when they do a little bit of colonialism makes me curious if he's going to snap at one point and start defending or outright denying some of the nasty stuff Turkey has done using those exact same arguments
Yeah it is easy to blame all the world problems on europeans, especially since they did so much horrible shit, but it can also serve as a sort of scapegoat, I’m not white so I’m good, when in fact all countries have the same problems, all countries are racist af, oppressive, etc.
No he won‘t, plus he is very clearly denouncing Russia. The only part he directly disagrees with is that pre-Annexation Crimea should remain with Ukraine, mostly because a majority of the Crimean population also did not want this.
8:10 There is wisdom in not offering advice or commentary in areas of blatant ignorance. That advice flew over the narcissist head of our good friend from Canada.
Little personal experience for those interested Couple of months ago, I made a post on Tumblr lamenting about self proclaimed leftists that were on Russia side A guy commented that actually, it is a progressive thing and non imperial thing that Russia is doing *check notes* imperialism cause this "operation" was detrimental to the USA imperialism Replied to his comment, a conversation started, after the 3rd reply by him I decided that it's useless to talk to a wall
I’m not pro-Russia, but it should be noted that what they’re doing is *not* imperialism. Remember: imperialism is a system, not an action or moral judgment. The US invading a country isn’t imperialist, the US’s entire economy relying on resource extraction from the global south is imperialism. Russia’s economy doesn’t rely on resource extraction from other countries (though it certainly would like for this to be the case). Semantics, sure, but words do need to mean something.
Imperialism does not refer to internal colonisation. Sure, there’s something to be said about Siberia being integrated into Russian territory, though that happened a long time ago, I’m sure people are fairly indifferent today (literally 500 years ago). Also calling something an empire tends to be an arbitrary value judgment too. Russia’s not really an empire anymore. The vast majority of Russian conquest happened centuries ago, I think most would consider those territories integrated at this point. You can certainly point to Crimea as an example of a recent conquest though, and I wouldn’t disagree. Ukraine would be similar. An empire is a bunch of conquested nations being ruled by a central nation (you know, how the entire west operated in the 1900’s). Now, there’s not a single Russian corporation in the top 100 by foreign investments. There’s one Russian bank in the top 100 banks in the world by asset ownership. And Russian corporations collective assets are nothing compared to that of even Germany, much less the US. Also keep in mind that the West immediately froze Russian assets, something that couldn’t happen to the West who happens to control the world’s finance infrastructure. This is not a country that gets its power and raw materials from abroad. This is a country that can only get these internally. If Russia seizes Ukraine, it certainly takes another step in the imperialist direction, but make no mistake, calling Russia ‘imperialist’ just makes that word mean nothing. Your focus (at least if you call yourself a socialist) should be class war. The Russian-Ukrainian war hurts workers, who are the ones who actually have to fight in this war. No billionaires from Ukraine nor Russia are going fight on the ground. Sure, we’re no fans of Russia here. But we should be uprooting an entire class of people who are fine with senseless violence at the cost of the working class. And this is where your analysis should lie. In this way, target the oligarchs who run Russia AND we target the oligarchs who run the US (and other capitalist countries but it’s especially bad here in the US). Have some class-consciousness
@@Abulb99 I wouldn’t think so. I think this is just a desperate attempt from Russia to seize some semblance of power, but I would hesitate to say this war is fought on ideological grounds. Russia, Ukraine, and the broader west coalition (EU, Canada, US, Australia) are all capitalist nations. Nobody’s fighting over ideology here
The biolabs story was the more stunning for us, Ukrainians, because of the other thesis that russians were throwing into the media, that were even more outlandish. On this channel you search for real life possibilities and what can be done, but on the russian TV shows they were actually talking about some genetical weapons being produced in those secret bio-labs that would be carried by the pigeons or other birds to attach exclusively russian people and make them infertile. At the same time, the same TV shows would spit propaganda: "Ukraine is russia and Ukrainians are russians are the same people". And even if you asked any z-patriot how is that possible - why this moment you say that ukrainians are russian and other they are not - they would just scream at you, say you are stupid and you don't understand how those bloody americans manipulated your oppinion. Am glad I found this channel. The calm, poised and detailed analysis is just amazing. It's just a pity that such great videos can only be made once per month an not more due to the amount of work it requires. But what this channel has done is already amazing. Thank you!
Peterson's "Hullamador" gaffe reminds me of a friend of mine years ago holding forth vehemently in what he considered a very learned fashion about the Intifada, except he kept pronouncing it "Infitada," which sounded to me like some kind of Middle-Eastern omelette.
Ya know, it really freaks me out how successful that whole "make them think everything is relative" has been. I mean if you take a look at the U.S. conservative base right now, you'll see that the very people that have traditionally always believed in an "absolute truth" (that being the 'word of god'), that an objective reality exists... have now been totally convinced by moral relativism! That's kinda crazy to me. I mean I don't think it's literally all the Russians doing.. many politicians here in our own country have realized it's value too (Donald Trump and "fake news" being the most obvious example). I think the existence and prevalence of the internet makes it a lot harder too. Human beings weren't designed to handle such a constant stream of data, ya know? We just don't have the bandwidth to handle being bombarded with so much contradictory information constantly, and eventually people just kinda shut down. I mean I'd bet I'm more well-read on stuff than 90% of people, and I know I can't do it, so I'd imagine that there are very few people that can. And if a person is scared, confused, and doesn't quite know what's going on in a rapidly changing world, they're liable to be manipulated into all sorts of different "brands" of truth. Idk how we're ever going to fix this shit 😶
American here too, this is absolutely pathetic for the Russians. They can’t face Ukraine on the battlefield so they’re on social media pretending to be westerners to spread misinformation. And some, some not all, of our compatriots fall for it. Don’t worry though, none of this matters, once Russia is lost it will all be made clear.
"Saying Russia should take back Crimea because it was part of Russia until the 1950s when Ukrainian Soviets gave it to Ukraine is like saying Israel should take all of Palestine because it was part of Israel thousands of years ago" lol
Well, the ability to finally accept he was wrong is at least a redeeming factor! Changing opinions isn’t always the easiest - and this war has forced a lot of people to change opinions, or rather, realise that there are exceptions! A lot of people who oppose war and has always opposed war, now have to accept that this war is different - it’s a war of defense, and the only true anti-war position is to say that Russian aggressions should never be respected or rewarded!
except he learned nothing about it - other than "be right 98% of the time, but they lever let you down for the other 2%" (he said exactly this reasutly in a video that had nothing to do with him being wrong about anything) - he is STILL an "American Bad!" leftists. So, why should him saying anything about "oops sorry - I guess they ARE bad" mean anything?
quick side note, if lefties take the talking points of Mearsheimer, especially marxists, ask yourself why are they taking the political position of Richard Nixon and Kissinger , and not the literally opposite marxist view, that talk like this is just imperialism with extra steps . Doesn’t it seem od than on this one specific thing, that benefits russia , they all have the same opinion with right wingers that suddenly found a war they dont like.
The irony that far left and far right American viewpoints somehow loop back around into agreeing with each other. Im just glad that they are only vocal minorities
you see, peterson is completely consistent in his point, as the russian authoritarianism is not a compassionate one but srsly, i think he just wanted to slap a bunch of adjectives together and see if it still makes sense.
I think it somehow reflects the slow degradation of USA internal politics which puts the radical versions of democrats that are required to have an opposite stance on each and every question. The democrats are pro-Ukraine, thus the republicans have to be against it, and Peterson, just so happens, assigned himself to the rep camp
9:12 "Fun, fun, fun". My late grandmother born in 1922 (may she rest in peace) told me that in 1930th they ate soup made from onion shells and leaves from trees. I wish the scumbag Jordan Peterson would experience it himself
The claims that immediate peace is anti-war, and not any sort of victory is just irrational. It’s like saying we should have pushed for peace against Nazi Germany or Japan because casualties would be too high if we fight. These people seem to not understand history, or geopolitics.
I'm a lifelong leftist who never had any love for the USSR or Cuba, two places many of my fellow American leftists loooove to fetishize. It's sad to see that that kind of auto-pilot attitude is still in evidence. If you asked these same people if Hitler should've been fought, they'd unhesitatingly answer yes. My question then would be: did you think that the Allied countries were a bunch of good guys wearing white hats? Of course not: you had Britain and France, two nations who still had brutal, virulently racist colonial empires (not to mention the Netherlands and Belgium, though they were occupied), plus of course the US, an apartheid state whose armed forces were fully segregated. And that's not even mentioning Stalin. Should opposition to those things have translated to: well, we're not exactly good guys ourselves, so we should just let Hitler gobble up whatever parts of Europe he wants? Because it seems like that's what some people actually believe when it comes to Ukraine.
12:38 They first violated it in 2003 in the Tuzla Island Incident while Ukraine still had a Pro-Russian President. It was one of the reasons Ukraine sent troops to Iraq and Afghanistan, since they wanted to curry favor with the United States to help get into NATO.

@@seelcudoom1 Honestly, if we (ukrainians) didn't put up a fight, I'm 100% sure the west and especially the US would sweep our situation under the rug. It's always about capital, until they are literally forced to do the right thing.
As a Ukrainian, I will keep updating this comment. Edit 1: The tier list in 4:22 I will go over that for a bit. Crimean Tatars make sense since they lived in a half of Crimea, the other half belonged to the Kievan Rus (Ukraine), The democratic republic of Turkey never lived in Crimea, maybe Hasan was referring to the Ottoman Empire, but it still doesn't make sense since the Ottoman Empire (as far as I am aware) never stepped foot on Crimea. Greece also the same as turkey, the only form of Greece that might have ruled Crimea were the ancient Greek who were the first to move to the territories of Ukraine (the name the ancient Greek gave to the lands near the Dnipro river) but again they are called ancient for a reason. So, in my opinion, the people who should rule Crimea are : Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars. Edit 2: About the cultural war, it is understandable and is real since, fun fact! Russia (back when it was the Russian Empire) spent 9 years re-writing the history books of Russia and especially... Ukraine and the Kievan Rus to the point where people believe we weren't called the Kievan Rus but perhaps the Kevin Ukraine since it is slightly confirmed that the Russian Empire made up the fact that we had a "Rus" in our name to make it seem like Ukraine is Russia. Edit 3: Is Jordan Pearson blaming the "Голомодор" on Ukraine? For those who don't know "Голомодор" was a time when there was no food in Ukraine and people were dying, my grandfather had 11 siblings in ww2 and only 4 of them survived, and the rest died from hunger. And the thing is, this "Голомодор" was across the entirety of the Soviet Union, not just Ukraine. Edit 4: (probably my last one) This one is about the chemicals, Ukraine is researching chemicals for non-military purposes, guess what Russia started using labs in captured regions for? Chemical weaponry. Guess what they said when people questioned them about it? They said the chemical weapons were Ukrainian... Ukraine never made chemical weapons ever since it became independent in 1991. At the time of writing this, every Ukrainian soldier must have a gas mask because Russians started using mustard gas and other chemical weapons not only on soldiers but also on civilians.

As a leftist from Eastern Europe, I want to thank you.

It made me realize that so many of them see the words "American imperialism" and get mad at the first part, not the second. So thank you, for being a voice of reason.

Nothing in the world can happen unless either America is behind it (if it's bad), or America is trying to stop it (if it's good). This is effective because with this belief there is no need to grapple with the actual events happening.

However, I got the sense, from listening to interviews and podcasts, that my statement isn't that far from the truth.
Ukrainian here, sad part to realise is that for all these people this war is just the reality show where they base their opinion on personal preferences and not necessarily the truth and facts. Really frustrating when people are dying literally every day and certain individuals with some level of influence are spreading misinformation (no matter if they want the war to end or continue) that's gonna have a negative impact and all of this nightmare is only gonna continue because of it.

To the people actually living in Ukraine, many of their positions sound like “Ukrainians, please give up chunks of your territory and population so that we can feel comfortable and satisfied with ourselves again, knowing we are staying pure by opposing lethal aid to Ukraine.” It’s this attitude of thinking they know what’s best for Ukrainians and if only they could see the error of their ways, they would pursue peace at any cost. And what gets me is, at least among the good faith leftists like Hasan, they don’t even realize their attitude is essentially a western chauvinist mindset, just coming from the left in their case.

@lisaw150 "anti imperialist left"
"supporting NATO"
pick one, you can't have both. Do you KNOW the actual anti imperialist leftists who've been arguing to abolish NATO since the cold war who are now being smeared as lovers of Putin because the invasion they've been warning about since the 1990's actually happened?
@lisaw150 NATO doesn't prevent invasions, it causes them and carries them out. The US pledging to bring Ukraine and Georgia into NATO in 2006 is what lead to the invasions of those countries later. NATO is a way for the US to absorb countries into the American military system, it's not a "defensive alliance", it turns countries into militarized US vassal states.
If for example you are Ukraine and don't want to be invaded, the best way to do that is to stay neutral. Trying to align with NATO while you are on Russia's border is the single worst thing you can do to "avoid and invasion" because that pretty much guarantees retaliatory action from Russia.
It doesn't matter if Ukraine joins NATO now, because they already de facto joined NATO when after 2014 when west Ukrainian protesters overthrow the pro Russian government, and installed a pro western government that started getting billions of dollars of weapons and training from the US and running joint military exercises with NATO.
Ukraine's existence is not what is being fought over here, it's whether Ukraine is more subservient to Russian or American interests, that's what the conflict is actually over.

@Lisa W
I honestly don't think it's a lot of leftist, maybe in Germany, but not elsewhere.
The leftist I do see take pro-Russian stances is mostly among the old, you know, people who's still stuck back in the 70's - and haven't yet figured out that Russia isn't the continuum of the USSR they spend years idealising.
Heck, the USSR wasn't even anywhere near the utopia they thought it was.
The groups I see take pro-Kremlin position is mostly on the far-right, and in conspiracy assumption circles, (a segment of people who have some overlap with both the far-left and the far-right, but usually mostly the latter, and depending on which side they fall to they are usually very Christian or very "Spiritual").
I also see a small group of refugees being drawn towards the Kremlin narrative, but mostly out of distrust for the US.
Especially in my country, (one of the Scandinavian ones), most of the left, see this war as a war against war!
It's seen as a necessity that Russian imperialist aggression isn't rewarded!
You're just a lib lol

It just goes to show that people are happy to have absolutely terrible takes because they just can’t fathom that they might end up on the same side of the debate are somebody they usually disagree with and really have built an identity around hating. I don’t like American colonialism, I am very suspicious of American foreign policy, but that doesn’t mean that by default anything the Americans say is automatically a lie, and whoever they are saying it’s about is automatically good. That’s literally still confirmation bias. It’s just as dumb to believe everything you are told as it is to disbelieve everything you are told. Critical thinking, requires a case by case basis, Not deciding your allegiances, just because of whose mouth it is coming out of. I would argue. It’s perfectly reasonable to think that the Americans are working in bad faith, as well as the Russians, and yet still believe that Ukraine deserves help to defend itself. All of these points aren’t mutually exclusive.
You’re right, but a lot of the accusations being thrown by Vatniks are just ridiculous because they show they have absolutely no understanding of how organisations such as NATO works and calling everything remotely related to American interests American Imperialism while at the same time refusing to acknowledge that some of the worst offenders of American Imperialist ideology is supporting Russia and what Russia is doing is the most clear cut example of old-school empire building through military conquest attempt we've seen in a very long time!
Also, USA isn’t trying to make Ukraine a vassal state of the US, Russia on the other hand is!
Ukraine isn5 trying to become part of the US, it’s trying to become accepted into the European community!
Only people who doesn’t have a clue thinks the US controls NATO and the EU!
Sometimes even countries with a shitty past, (like most of us, but of course also the US), can see the benefit of acting responsible - and Vatniks are trying to tell us that it doesn’t make a difference!
However, I’m sure that if I’ve made a living of robbing banks, then it doesn’t mean I shouldn’t spend any money on charity or that those who get it, doesn’t deserve it!
American interests are served by Ukraine independence.
Nations don't have morals.
The US (er...our) interests just happen to correspond with freedom and democracy THIS TIME.
...A refreshing change.
Russia has put its' foot in a bear trap. The more of their resources they destroy, the less of a player on the world stage they are.
No one cares what you like or don't like, what actions are you actually advocating for? You can say "American colonialism/militarism is bad" all day, doesn't matter if you don't actually do anything about it. This isn't a new concept. America is doing the same thing they did throughout the entire cold war, expanding NATO and arming/training whatever group is convenient for them to weaken Russia's geopolitical interests. In this case, they turned Ukraine into a militarized American sattelite state since 2014 by overthrowing the pro Russian government and cutting off Russia's land access to Crimea and the black sea. American's are using west Ukrainians to further their own geopolitical interests, just like Russia is using East Ukrainians to further their own interests. This is nothing more than a war between the US and Russia with Ukrainian bodies. And it could of been easily avoided by simply keeping Ukraine neutral and not trying to weaken Russia with NATO/military expansion.

Hello from Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine. Thank you for your work in combating Mordor propaganda!
And I am also grateful for the Ukrainian folk song "Oh, there is a red viburnum in the meadow" at the end of the video. This song gives me goosebumps.
"Civil war" is also a Russian propaganda taking point.
1. It started when foreign troops ceased government buildings in Sloviansk.
2. The leadership and command of these so called separatists are Russians citizens including literally Russian intelligence officers (Girkin himself for one).
3. The whole brigades of Russian marines "getting lost" in Ukraine as Putin himself put it (are we children or have an IQ south of 70).
4. Minsk agreement is signed between Ukraine and Russia with OSCE as a mediator calling to withdraw foreign troops from Ukraine among other things.
One gotta be very special or quite dishonest to call that a civil war.
It worked on the people it needed to work on: the voting public in major EU powers and the US. Distracted by ISIS and racistly used to conflict in Eastern Europe (completely ignoring that most of it is started by Russia) it just became a short segment at the end of news “alleged” this and “alleged” that.
The sheer amount of approving and rejoicing comments of ordinary Russians under videos of the atrocities committed against civilians in Ukraine were no less a shock for Ukrainians than the war itself.
We have somehow got used to the war, but the realization of who we have been living next to all this time, without even knowing it, is still terrifying.
Those creatures call themselves our brothers. Imagine what they would do to you who they call their enemies if you let them.
True. Hope to make them shit themselves in fear as their PMCs starting cooking.
Нас за що?😂
I am from Ukraine, watched war start in 2014 in Donbass, then watched it to continue in Kyiv. Minsk agreements WERE held by Ukraine. All of the points which were possible to implement WERE implemented. Decentralization was one of the biggest points which gave great results on our economy. On ethnic russian genocide by Ukraine. In 2014 I was a university teacher in Donetsk. I was reading my lectures, filled my documents and spoke to students in russian language. Then russian troops came and turned out that I was heavily oppressed.
You were a sucker. 😂 The use of Russian in universities was banned. The fact that you flaunted the rules does speak more about the situation in Ukraine overall and not the official policy. You probably also got grants from the West and all your peers benefited from being suckers for Kiev and Soros. Now, the people that rose up against Kiev did not extract any benefits from being in Ukraine.
Hearing Jorden P Beaterston talk, always leaves me in stunned disbelief. No one will ever compare to his ability to take an infinite amount of time, to say absolutely nothing.
It is weird to see him now in contrast to his old lectures. He regressed in every single possible way.

Roger Waters appears to have never got over the death of his father in WWII.
Eric Waters was a former pacifist who changed his views (possibly as a result of fatherhood) joined the army, became an officer and was killed at Anzio in February 1944 when his son was only 6 months old. Roger's take on war such as in "Us and Them" [Dark Side of the Moon] and "When the Tigers Broke Free" [The Final Cut] depicts commanders coldly indifferent to the suffering of their troops. What he didn't and doesn't seem to understand is that wars against a pitiless aggressor have to be fought and that who lives and who dies is unfair and often arbitrary. Fortunately people like his own father thought differently, served and sacrificed themselves and Nazism was defeated 15 months later. Roger's inner child still angry, even though the people he is angry with are all gone now.

The thing that annoys me is this delusional idea that Ukraine is still a sovereign country when it's completely propped up by billions of dollars of US spending funding their infrastructure, military and even paying their pensions.

What I'm getting at is if your first reaction to any syren Yobana Rusnya, you are Ukrainian. And yeah, and after speaking with these people, there ain't no ethnic russians in Ukraine :)

It says a lot about American political discourse when a needless war can be politicised to the point where it's a culture war talking point and not the complex situation it actually is
That’s how I feel too. The right (especially the MAGA faction) has trivialized the horrors in Ukraine down to their idiotic culture war. Like if you support Ukraine, then that must somehow mean you support the notion of drag Queen story telling for Ukrainian children.
The problem is that liberal NATO supporters are the ones oversimplifying the conflict, not leftists. There was an 8 year long civil war along with a multi decade long ethnic, generational and cultural conflict between East and West Ukrainians. All of them have legitimate grievances, but American liberals just think everyone in Ukraine just loves the west and hates Russia and Russia just randomly attacked one day while the US decided to step in and defend democracy. That's massive propaganda and oversimplification.

That bit about Ben Shapiro refuting the Biolabs conspiracy theory caught me off guard so hard lmao
When Ben Shapiro redemption arc 😳
the truly weird bit about ben is like every now and then, very rarely, he has a sane, reasonable take. he was also one of the few of his ilk that rightly criticized jan 6 as what it was, a criminal insurrection. he's still a terrible person, but he's surprisingly slightly less of an invertebrate than the rest of his kind.
He just doesn't like Biden not Ukraine
Ben Shapiro is a supporter of Ukraine. He claimed conseratives that support Russia thinking that it's a traditional religious country are stupid, since Russia loves to crack down on Christian churches. He also criticized conseratives for making fun of the way Zelensky was dressed in camo clothe when he met with Biden.
@@Coliflower185 Ben Shapiro reminds me a lot of Bill O'Reilly: generally a loathsome personality and someone I disagree with 95% of the time, but he is genuinely presenting *his* beliefs rather than insincerely selling someone else's agenda.
I also loved how Noam Chomsky and Henry Kissinger agreed on this topic.
Oh Noam "The west is under a totalitarian rule worse than the Soviet Union because I can't watch Lavrov on RT on cable" Chomsky. Who could ever forget?
Chosmky is what happens when somebody lives inside a tiny bubble their whole life after leaving student politics
Chomsky is an idealist on foreign policy when it comes to the US but then when it comes to the enemies of US hegemony he rapidly turns into a realist talking about how states have a natural desire to have defensive buffers, something which he would rightly call an imperialist front for establing spheres of influence if the US was the country in question.

“The truth is relative” is one of the most insanely evil things I’ve ever heard
Like Trump, they have "alternative" facts.
It is, as far as humans are concerned.
its both relative and objective and you can twist it along with claiming its either of those.
@@getagrip7474 Sort of. You can measure that the temperature is 20 degrees C. That's objectively true. But at the same time, it can be relatively true that one person can feel too hot while another person can feel too cold.
The problem comes when someone ignores that nuance and believes that any and all truth can be relative. If we measure the temperature at 20 degrees C, and we all agree that the measuring device is working properly, but someone still says, "No. The truth is that it's 30 degrees C", they're not expressing a relative or subjective truth. They are lying.
@@barbaros99 no even here you are wrong. the device in fact may not be working and that person is right. anyway the truth is objective in either case, but in either case someone fails to communicate it truthfully be that the majority and the thermometer or the 1 person. Similarly with victims of assault the victim may be lying or the assaulters may be lying. Some people ware way better at dedecuing the truth, or maybe certain truths in certain situations and other people are better at other truths.

Hasan's weird acts of defending Non-Western countries when they do a little bit of colonialism makes me curious if he's going to snap at one point and start defending or outright denying some of the nasty stuff Turkey has done using those exact same arguments
Yeah it is easy to blame all the world problems on europeans, especially since they did so much horrible shit, but it can also serve as a sort of scapegoat, I’m not white so I’m good, when in fact all countries have the same problems, all countries are racist af, oppressive, etc.

No he won‘t, plus he is very clearly denouncing Russia.
The only part he directly disagrees with is that pre-Annexation Crimea should remain with Ukraine, mostly because a majority of the Crimean population also did not want this.

Little personal experience for those interested
Couple of months ago, I made a post on Tumblr lamenting about self proclaimed leftists that were on Russia side
A guy commented that actually, it is a progressive thing and non imperial thing that Russia is doing *check notes* imperialism cause this "operation" was detrimental to the USA imperialism
Replied to his comment, a conversation started, after the 3rd reply by him I decided that it's useless to talk to a wall
I’m not pro-Russia, but it should be noted that what they’re doing is *not* imperialism. Remember: imperialism is a system, not an action or moral judgment. The US invading a country isn’t imperialist, the US’s entire economy relying on resource extraction from the global south is imperialism.
Russia’s economy doesn’t rely on resource extraction from other countries (though it certainly would like for this to be the case).
Semantics, sure, but words do need to mean something.
I didnt know helping regions that contain your ethnic group when they are shelled daily means imperialism.
Imperialism does not refer to internal colonisation. Sure, there’s something to be said about Siberia being integrated into Russian territory, though that happened a long time ago, I’m sure people are fairly indifferent today (literally 500 years ago). Also calling something an empire tends to be an arbitrary value judgment too. Russia’s not really an empire anymore. The vast majority of Russian conquest happened centuries ago, I think most would consider those territories integrated at this point. You can certainly point to Crimea as an example of a recent conquest though, and I wouldn’t disagree. Ukraine would be similar.
An empire is a bunch of conquested nations being ruled by a central nation (you know, how the entire west operated in the 1900’s).
Now, there’s not a single Russian corporation in the top 100 by foreign investments. There’s one Russian bank in the top 100 banks in the world by asset ownership. And Russian corporations collective assets are nothing compared to that of even Germany, much less the US.
Also keep in mind that the West immediately froze Russian assets, something that couldn’t happen to the West who happens to control the world’s finance infrastructure.
This is not a country that gets its power and raw materials from abroad. This is a country that can only get these internally. If Russia seizes Ukraine, it certainly takes another step in the imperialist direction, but make no mistake, calling Russia ‘imperialist’ just makes that word mean nothing.
Your focus (at least if you call yourself a socialist) should be class war. The Russian-Ukrainian war hurts workers, who are the ones who actually have to fight in this war. No billionaires from Ukraine nor Russia are going fight on the ground. Sure, we’re no fans of Russia here. But we should be uprooting an entire class of people who are fine with senseless violence at the cost of the working class. And this is where your analysis should lie. In this way, target the oligarchs who run Russia AND we target the oligarchs who run the US (and other capitalist countries but it’s especially bad here in the US). Have some class-consciousness
@@Abulb99 Yes. It’s a communist-driven mindset. You liberals and ‘SocDems’ have nothing to offer the working class but bombs and platitudes.
@@Abulb99 I wouldn’t think so. I think this is just a desperate attempt from Russia to seize some semblance of power, but I would hesitate to say this war is fought on ideological grounds. Russia, Ukraine, and the broader west coalition (EU, Canada, US, Australia) are all capitalist nations. Nobody’s fighting over ideology here

The biolabs story was the more stunning for us, Ukrainians, because of the other thesis that russians were throwing into the media, that were even more outlandish. On this channel you search for real life possibilities and what can be done, but on the russian TV shows they were actually talking about some genetical weapons being produced in those secret bio-labs that would be carried by the pigeons or other birds to attach exclusively russian people and make them infertile. At the same time, the same TV shows would spit propaganda: "Ukraine is russia and Ukrainians are russians are the same people". And even if you asked any z-patriot how is that possible - why this moment you say that ukrainians are russian and other they are not - they would just scream at you, say you are stupid and you don't understand how those bloody americans manipulated your oppinion.
Am glad I found this channel. The calm, poised and detailed analysis is just amazing. It's just a pity that such great videos can only be made once per month an not more due to the amount of work it requires. But what this channel has done is already amazing. Thank you!
Peterson's "Hullamador" gaffe reminds me of a friend of mine years ago holding forth vehemently in what he considered a very learned fashion about the Intifada, except he kept pronouncing it "Infitada," which sounded to me like some kind of Middle-Eastern omelette.
Ya know, it really freaks me out how successful that whole "make them think everything is relative" has been. I mean if you take a look at the U.S. conservative base right now, you'll see that the very people that have traditionally always believed in an "absolute truth" (that being the 'word of god'), that an objective reality exists... have now been totally convinced by moral relativism! That's kinda crazy to me. I mean I don't think it's literally all the Russians doing.. many politicians here in our own country have realized it's value too (Donald Trump and "fake news" being the most obvious example). I think the existence and prevalence of the internet makes it a lot harder too. Human beings weren't designed to handle such a constant stream of data, ya know? We just don't have the bandwidth to handle being bombarded with so much contradictory information constantly, and eventually people just kinda shut down. I mean I'd bet I'm more well-read on stuff than 90% of people, and I know I can't do it, so I'd imagine that there are very few people that can. And if a person is scared, confused, and doesn't quite know what's going on in a rapidly changing world, they're liable to be manipulated into all sorts of different "brands" of truth. Idk how we're ever going to fix this shit 😶
none of this is new and it's been overcome a million times before. it's a 3rd graders way of trying to win arguments
American here too, this is absolutely pathetic for the Russians. They can’t face Ukraine on the battlefield so they’re on social media pretending to be westerners to spread misinformation. And some, some not all, of our compatriots fall for it. Don’t worry though, none of this matters, once Russia is lost it will all be made clear.
It's an infinite struggle. ⚖️
Do you fucking not understand that Russia has its own interests that are not dependent on your wishes?
Why does anyone take Hasan Piker serious on any topic politically?
"Saying Russia should take back Crimea because it was part of Russia until the 1950s when Ukrainian Soviets gave it to Ukraine is like saying Israel should take all of Palestine because it was part of Israel thousands of years ago" lol

Well, the ability to finally accept he was wrong is at least a redeeming factor!
Changing opinions isn’t always the easiest - and this war has forced a lot of people to change opinions, or rather, realise that there are exceptions!
A lot of people who oppose war and has always opposed war, now have to accept that this war is different - it’s a war of defense, and the only true anti-war position is to say that Russian aggressions should never be respected or rewarded!
except he learned nothing about it - other than "be right 98% of the time, but they lever let you down for the other 2%" (he said exactly this reasutly in a video that had nothing to do with him being wrong about anything) - he is STILL an "American Bad!" leftists.

Jordan Peterson talks like a satirical version of 2000s video game antagonists
The irony that far left and far right American viewpoints somehow loop back around into agreeing with each other. Im just glad that they are only vocal minorities
you see, peterson is completely consistent in his point, as the russian authoritarianism is not a compassionate one
but srsly, i think he just wanted to slap a bunch of adjectives together and see if it still makes sense.
I think it somehow reflects the slow degradation of USA internal politics which puts the radical versions of democrats that are required to have an opposite stance on each and every question. The democrats are pro-Ukraine, thus the republicans have to be against it, and Peterson, just so happens, assigned himself to the rep camp

The claims that immediate peace is anti-war, and not any sort of victory is just irrational.
It’s like saying we should have pushed for peace against Nazi Germany or Japan because casualties would be too high if we fight.
These people seem to not understand history, or geopolitics.
I'm a lifelong leftist who never had any love for the USSR or Cuba, two places many of my fellow American leftists loooove to fetishize. It's sad to see that that kind of auto-pilot attitude is still in evidence. If you asked these same people if Hitler should've been fought, they'd unhesitatingly answer yes. My question then would be: did you think that the Allied countries were a bunch of good guys wearing white hats? Of course not: you had Britain and France, two nations who still had brutal, virulently racist colonial empires (not to mention the Netherlands and Belgium, though they were occupied), plus of course the US, an apartheid state whose armed forces were fully segregated. And that's not even mentioning Stalin. Should opposition to those things have translated to: well, we're not exactly good guys ourselves, so we should just let Hitler gobble up whatever parts of Europe he wants? Because it seems like that's what some people actually believe when it comes to Ukraine.

As a Ukrainian, I will keep updating this comment. Edit 1: The tier list in 4:22 I will go over that for a bit. Crimean Tatars make sense since they lived in a half of Crimea, the other half belonged to the Kievan Rus (Ukraine), The democratic republic of Turkey never lived in Crimea, maybe Hasan was referring to the Ottoman Empire, but it still doesn't make sense since the Ottoman Empire (as far as I am aware) never stepped foot on Crimea. Greece also the same as turkey, the only form of Greece that might have ruled Crimea were the ancient Greek who were the first to move to the territories of Ukraine (the name the ancient Greek gave to the lands near the Dnipro river) but again they are called ancient for a reason. So, in my opinion, the people who should rule Crimea are : Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars. Edit 2: About the cultural war, it is understandable and is real since, fun fact! Russia (back when it was the Russian Empire) spent 9 years re-writing the history books of Russia and especially... Ukraine and the Kievan Rus to the point where people believe we weren't called the Kievan Rus but perhaps the Kevin Ukraine since it is slightly confirmed that the Russian Empire made up the fact that we had a "Rus" in our name to make it seem like Ukraine is Russia. Edit 3: Is Jordan Pearson blaming the "Голомодор" on Ukraine? For those who don't know "Голомодор" was a time when there was no food in Ukraine and people were dying, my grandfather had 11 siblings in ww2 and only 4 of them survived, and the rest died from hunger. And the thing is, this "Голомодор" was across the entirety of the Soviet Union, not just Ukraine. Edit 4: (probably my last one) This one is about the chemicals, Ukraine is researching chemicals for non-military purposes, guess what Russia started using labs in captured regions for? Chemical weaponry. Guess what they said when people questioned them about it? They said the chemical weapons were Ukrainian... Ukraine never made chemical weapons ever since it became independent in 1991. At the time of writing this, every Ukrainian soldier must have a gas mask because Russians started using mustard gas and other chemical weapons not only on soldiers but also on civilians.
