Is Joe Rogan right or are his fears misplaced?
Joe Rogan is sounding the alarm over President Joe Biden’s handling of the Ukraine conflict, warning that recent decisions could push the world closer to World War III. In a passionate discussion on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Rogan expressed concern over Biden’s approval of U.S.-made long-range missiles being used by Ukraine to strike deep into Russian territory. He called the move “reckless” and questioned why such significant military actions are being taken under Biden’s leadership, especially as the president approaches the end of his term.
“How are you allowed to do that when you’re on your way out? People don’t want you to be there anymore,” Rogan asked, referring to Biden’s status as a “lame-duck” president. He emphasized the importance of pausing such critical decisions, especially when they risk escalating into a global conflict.
The controversy stems from the U.S. lifting restrictions on Ukraine’s use of Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS), which have been used in recent missile strikes on Russian military targets, including an ammunition depot in Bryansk. While Biden’s administration justifies this escalation as part of supporting Ukraine’s defense against Russian aggression, Rogan and many critics believe it could provoke an even broader war.
Rogan was particularly irked by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s rhetoric, accusing him of inflaming tensions by claiming Russian President Vladimir Putin is “terrified.” Rogan responded by saying, “F*** you, man. You people are about to start World War III.” He further expressed frustration with the lack of diplomatic efforts, suggesting that Ukraine should pursue negotiations rather than continuing the military escalation.
Rogan, who has openly supported former President Donald Trump, contrasted Biden’s actions with Trump’s approach, which he believes would focus on de-escalation and avoiding unnecessary global conflicts. His guest, music producer Scott Storch, echoed these sentiments, saying he felt “safer” with Trump at the helm.
Rogan’s concerns come amid reports that Russia has deployed North Korean soldiers to the front lines in the Kursk region, further heightening the stakes. The U.S. Department of Defense has warned that these troops could soon be directly involved in combat, signaling that the conflict is only intensifying.
As the situation continues to evolve, many are questioning whether the Biden administration is doing enough to prevent a global catastrophe or if it is pushing the world closer to disaster with each new military decision. Rogan, like many conservatives, believes that a shift in leadership is needed to restore peace and stability, advocating for a return to policies that prioritize avoiding conflict over escalating it.
