In the final part of "Jordan Peterson : You're Just Wrong on This One," we conclude our discussion on the Ukrainian War and the West's involvement in it. This time, we focus on the broader implications of the conflict for international relations and global security.

Jordan Peterson argues that the West's approach to the Ukrainian War is misguided and dangerous, as it could lead to a global conflict with catastrophic consequences. He suggests that the West needs to adopt a more nuanced and strategic approach that takes into account the complex historical, political, and cultural factors at play.

In contrast, the host of the episode argues that the West's involvement in the Ukrainian War is not just a matter of strategy but also a moral imperative. They believe that supporting Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity is essential for maintaining the global order based on democratic values and human rights. They also point out that the Ukrainian War is not just a local conflict but a part of a broader struggle between democracy and authoritarianism that will shape the future of international relations.

We are The Optimistic American, and we are in the business of promoting what is going right in our country. Every day, there is tremendous progress being made in America — across technology, public policy, science and medicine, and much more — that will set current and future generations up for success. Our goal is to highlight these advancements and tilt the scale of news and information from pessimism towards optimism.

This episode reflects the best themes of The Optimistic American, that our best days lie ahead.
