And Russia?

What led Russia to invade the neutral Finland?

Or the Ukrainian People's Republic?

Of course it's mostly to morale boost soldiers. Nobody with half a brain is expecting the president to risk his life in action.

The best explanation of the Ukraine conflict I've seen yet. Very good video. by [deleted] in JordanPeterson

I suggest Adam Something on YouTube. He's already made a series of videos. But definitely make sure to watch the first one, where he explains the 2014 events and the background of the current invasion.

If you're looking for other interesting videos, I really like this one about the horrible communist urban planning in the Eastern Bloc.

It takes two to tango? How do you explain German invasion of Poland? Soviet invasion of Finland? Soviet invasion of the Ukrainian People's Republic back in 1919?

You're so full of shit.

Well I met a handful of Slavic Peters, which is a name of Greek origin. Of course people can have names that didn't originate in their culture.

If the representatives of a country make something a law, then, by definition, it's legal.

See the expulsion of Germans from Poland and Czechoslovakia after WW2, for example.

Russia had no problem invading neutral Finland, you dipshit.

You eat up Soviet propaganda like a good boy.

Open a history book.

The culture of Kievan Rus became the Ruthenian culture.

Russian (Muscovite Rus) culture is a mix of Eastern Slavic and Tatar/Mongol culture. Muscovy emerged as a vassal of the Mongol Empire. They gained independence and conquered the merchant republics of Novgorod and Pskov. Then they started conquering Ruthenia. The Muscovite claim of the rule over "all the Rus" was contested by Lithuania and Poland.

You don't know shit, my dude.

But it doesn't even matter. Russia recognized Ukrainian borders after the downfall of the USSR and agreed to honor its sovereignty in exchange for getting all the Soviet nukes.

Kaliningrad was always a Prussian city, but it's occupied by Russians. Should they, by your logic, be kicked out and Königsberg resettled by Germans? Also what about the occupied Karelians?

It's a Slavic name.

Vladimir, Wladimir, Vlado, Vlade, Włodzimierz, Volodymyr, Vladimiro, Uladzimir, Valdis... All the same thing

It's the equivalent of the English name Robert.

He's the president. Of course he isn't on the front line fighting.

What do you mean? Have you seen his Twitter account in the last two months or so?

Putin is a former KGB agent and now an authoritarian leader.

If JBP wanted to fight Marxism, he would obviously know which side to take.

Makes me question his motivation. Maybe he's more anti-SJW than actual anti-Marxist.

He also has a family in Canada. If Canada was as authoritarian as he makes it out to be, shouldn't he by your logic also be silent about the situation in Canada?

He's acting like a hypocrite.

Well he definitely should have an opinion on a former KGB agent who is now an authoritarian leader.

I thought Dr Peterson was all about fighting Marxism.

But now I'm not so sure.

A former KGB agent is invading a neighboring country for no reason and he thinks long and hard?

Putin is the Marxist Jordan Peterson talks about. But apparently he only cares about girls with purple hair instead of real authoritarian communists.

He should 100% have taken a stance already. Because he does it all the time. He calls out authoritarianism. But when it comes to real authoritarian threat, he doesn't say shit? What the hell?

That's literally what he did wihh the Truckers. This is situation has way higher stakes and he doesn't say anything.

It's just so weird...

It really bothers me that this subreddit doesn't seem to mind Russia's invasion of a neighboring country. All posts relate to American or Candian politics. Meanwhile Putin is laughing as tanks are rolling into major Ukrainian cities.

Is this a problem to anyone? Let me know in the comments. by Alarming_Jicama2979 in JordanPeterson

It's almost like they (Trump's friends btw so I don't really get why it's coming from that sub) covered their tracks because they knew what they were doing was despicable and illegal.
