You must have a very long nose. What America will get out of this is obvious - an end to Russian imperialism without putting one American boot on the ground.

Russians have no will to fight in Ukraine whereas Ukrainians are fighting for the survival of their nation. A Ukrainian victory is inevitable and would already have occurred if America’s cognitively impaired President had supplied weapons earlier.

You are as illogical as Jordan Peterson and as uncaring as Tucker Carlson, who has at least admitted that he was wrong. You are still clueless.

Just like we were going to stop the spread of communism by fighting a war in Vietnam? Did that not start "without putting one American boot on the ground?" What happens when this escalates to requiring boots on the ground? Will you then decide it's not worth fighting or funding? There is not a single mention of trying to negotiate some kind of resolution. The only thing our government talks about is more war. Do you really expect the Ukraine to win this without requiring actual personnel? To say a Ukrainian victory is inevitable and would have occurred sooner with more weapons makes you sound like you work for the CIA or Northrop Grumman. Please provide an example of when we've ever been successful winning a conflict by doing nothing besides supply weapons and "aid.". At some point it requires aircraft and/or personnel. Once we provide either, it's a full blown war.

“ A Ukrainian victory is inevitable ”

This is a statement hoping for wish fulfillment.

The question is what does a “victory” look like?

Personal attacks are unnecessary and unhelpful.

Jordan Peterson is illogical? Seriously?? 🧐

Russian imperialism doesn't affect me, my community, or this country, and I see no reason to believe that a loss in Ukraine will end Russian imperialism. We're hurting ourselves more by fighting them than we would by allowing their expansion.

Please tone down the hate and the personal attacks, especially when your comment is mostly just imagination, speculation, and insults.

All imperialism affects you.

That’s like saying “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

There is no logic to either statement.

This is like saying "everything that happens everywhere affects everyone" true in an allegorical sense but useless in real life.

Try explaining with something meaningful, helpful, or educational, rather than reasserting a conclusion that I find baseless.

Jordan might be the most intelligent and compassionate person I've seen in the modern world. An extremely rare celebrity who sincerely has no concern for money or power. Incredible person and my role model.

That's certainly a part of it but even before that you can see how his lectures got enormous amounts of views. I think more than anything he has risen to prominence because so many people have been moved and helped through his insights.
