‘Naïve’ to think Russia will lose war, says Dr Jordan Peterson

Notions that the Russians are going to lose the war in Ukraine are “naïve,” says clinical psychologist Dr Jordan Peterson.

“Or that we’re going to win,” he said.

“I don’t understand that. What do you mean we’re going to win? What are we going to win here exactly?

Dr Peterson said even if Vladimir Putin allowed Russia to retreat from Ukraine, the country would be left in “smoking ruins”.

The fact that JP is considered controversial demonstrates just how lost our society is.

Politicians only start the war, they leave the fighting to the poor.

It's nice to see Piers not overtalking a guest and just listening for a change

[Ureckon]

Im back from the future to tell everyone he was right.

[jolitamark]

I listened to Putins speech and he doesn't threatened with nuclear weapons, he only said that if some country will attack with one there will be the same answer.
I speak Russian and media's "translation " far from truth.

The doctors last line let’s us all know how the worlds leaders think, “that’s just poor people”.

Dr Peterson managed the impossible. He educated this ignorant host, and taught him that he should stfu and let his guests talk without interruption.

“It’s not that they love the planet but they hate humanity” no greater truth

"It's not that you love the planet, it's that you hate humanity " I like that, pretty clear.

One year later: Peterson was right! 
Using ones brain is called controversial today.

Thankful that Piers finally knows that an interview necessitates letting people talk.

Remember the Germans laughing at trump at the UN about Russia having control over germanys energy…

"food insecurity" - just a euphemistic term for famine. Peterson is right on target.

"He's terrifying his people" And tell me, my young padawan, what are the european goverments doing right now?

[natashawatson]

I like how piers kept he's mouth shut for once and listened.

[oldbiff]

The true horror of the holocaust is not " look what those awful people did." It's " look what the human heart is capable of." I'm so glad that we have Dr. Peterson.

[emmetzet]

" but the planet has too many people on it anyway; that's just poor people " JP encapsulates the elite in that simple utterance

[makalo]

If only team Zelensky could stop bombarding every news video with bot comments then I think we would somehow find peace 😆

[Garfield-lm]

For once Piers didn't interrupt his guest too much, I guess he realized that he didn't want to look foolish in the way Cathy Newman was.
