Joe Rogan unleashes verbal attack on Zelensky
The podcast host Joe Rogan has criticized President Joe Biden for authorizing Ukraine to conduct missile strikes deep within Russian territory, labeling the decision as “f**king insane.” Rogan accused both Biden and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky of attempting to provoke a global conflict before Donald Trump assumes office.

Reports indicate that Biden granted permission for Ukraine to use long-range ATACMS missiles provided by the U.S. to target areas in internationally-recognized Russian territory. Ukraine reportedly conducted its first strike in Russia's Bryansk Region on Tuesday, followed by a subsequent attack on the Kursk Region with British Storm Shadow cruise missiles.

"How are you allowed to do that when you're on your way out?” Rogan inquired during Friday’s episode of ‘The Joe Rogan Experience.’ He expressed concern, saying, “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.”

Rogan continued to criticize Zelensky, stating, “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 last week’s strikes, Russia deployed a new hypersonic ballistic missile to hit a Ukrainian military industrial facility in Dnepropetrovsk. President Vladimir Putin warned that further attacks on Russian soil would lead to retaliatory strikes against targets chosen by Moscow, which could include military facilities in countries aiding Ukraine with long-range weaponry.

According to Putin, the use of ATACMS and Storm Shadow weapons is seen as escalatory since these systems cannot be operated “without the direct involvement of military experts from the manufacturing nations.” Rogan pointed out that the new Russian ballistic missile has the potential to carry a nuclear payload, warning that “if it does, the whole world changes.” He elaborated, “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.”

Rogan expressed his support for Trump shortly before this month’s election, following an appearance by Trump on his podcast. Trump, who is set to take office in less than 60 days, has pledged to negotiate a peace deal between Zelensky and Putin, although he has not detailed how he plans to accomplish this.

Rogan’s remarks have drawn backlash from pro-Kiev commentators, including Ukrainian boxing champion Vladimir Klitschko. In a post on X, Klitschko asserted that Putin is “in trouble” and labeled concerns over potential retaliation as “Russian propaganda.” To this, Rogan responded, “Does this make sense to anyone or just an attempt to get on the podcast?”
