Biden and Zelensky attempting to 'start World War III,' according to Joe Rogan
The US president's choice to permit long-range missile strikes targeting Russia has been described as “f**king insane” by the podcast host. Read Full Article at RT.com.
Rogan expressed strong disapproval of Joe Biden's authorization for Ukraine to carry out missile attacks deep within Russian territory, accusing both Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of attempting to provoke a world war ahead of Donald Trump's return to office.
Biden reportedly granted Ukraine permission last week to utilize long-range ATACMS missiles supplied by the US for strikes within internationally recognized Russian borders. Ukraine executed its first strike on Russia’s Bryansk Region on Tuesday, followed by another attack the next day on the Kursk Region using British Storm Shadow cruise missiles.
Rogan questioned, "How are you allowed to do that when you're on your way out?" during a recent episode of ‘The Joe Rogan Experience.’ He added, “The people don’t want you to be there any more. There should be some sort of pause for significant actions that could potentially start World War III. Maybe that would be a good thing that we would like to avoid from a dying former president.”
Further addressing his concerns about escalating tensions, Rogan remarked, “Zelensky says [Russian President Vladimir] Putin is terrified. F**k you, man. F**k you people. You f**king people are about to start World War III.”
In response to Ukraine's missile strikes, Russia targeted a Ukrainian military industrial facility in Dnepropetrovsk with a newly developed hypersonic ballistic missile. President Putin warned that any further attacks on Russian soil would elicit retaliatory strikes on targets of Moscow’s choosing, which may include military facilities in countries supplying long-range weaponry to Ukraine.
Rogan highlighted the potential severity of the situation, stating that Russia’s ballistic missile can carry a nuclear payload, asserting that “if it does, the whole world changes.” He emphasized that “it changes because of the military industrial complex and it changes because of the money that’s going to Ukraine, and it changes because the outgoing president – or whoever the f**k is actually running the country – has decided to do something f**king insane.”
Having endorsed Trump shortly before the recent election, Rogan noted that the former president, who will assume office in less than 60 days, has pledged to facilitate a peace deal between Zelensky and Putin, although he has not specified his approach.
Rogan’s remarks drew condemnation from pro-Kiev commentators, including Ukrainian boxing champion Vladimir Klitschko. In a post on X, Klitschko claimed that Putin is “in trouble” and described any fears of retaliation as “Russian propaganda.” Rogan responded to the backlash, questioning, “Does this make sense to anyone or just an attempt to get on the podcast?”
