For number 5 it was just one example of how his body of work has been historically, anti-communist, anti-marxist, etc... and in this particular video (which is the only relevant one) specifically anti-Putin.
Anti-Putin? If you look at the whole video you will see that Peterson begins the vid by saying that Putin’s actions are “unconscionable” but then he goes on to say that his invasion of Ukraine was an (arguably? probably?) righteous crusade against western degeneracy and that they are justified in doing so.
To explain why Russia is attacking Ukraine, he goes on a long diatribe about Ketanji Brown Jackson. He complains about Biden looking for a black woman and that she wouldn't answer the question "what is a woman." In fact, wanting to nominate a woman while denying women exist "violates the principle of noncontradiction" proving that we have become logically and societally degenerate.
He thinks that therefore, we don't have the moral high ground against russia, because we are degenerate. And he says the Russians think they have a duty to fight off this degeneracy, and they're right!
