Summary

Former Ukrainian boxing champion Wladimir Klitschko accused podcaster Joe Rogan of “repeating Russian propaganda” after Rogan criticized U.S. military aid to Ukraine and suggested it could escalate into World War III.

Klitschko defended Ukraine’s resistance against Russia, highlighting the country’s fight for freedom and condemning Rogan’s remarks as aiding Putin’s agenda.

He invited Rogan to discuss their differences on the podcast “like free men.”

Rogan, who recently endorsed Donald Trump, called the war a “proxy war” and criticized Biden’s decision to allow Ukraine to strike Russian soil with U.S.-supplied missiles.

    When are we going to find out Rogan is part of the RT propaganda podcast scam?

      Joe Rogan never needed their money, he got plenty from the 250 MILLION Spotify gave him to keep pumping out brain cancer to incels. Rogan is backing Russia for the lulz.

        I’ve never heard of someone with a lot of money deciding that he had enough money.

        I’ll bet the Spotify people showed him market research and told him… if you tap into this audience using your platform… the 250 will be the beginning. And then he got sucked in.

            Oh absolutely. I just think that the Spotify people are also very money driven… so some good old data driven audience optimization played into this ideally.

            And then being around all those charming right wingers, that put their arm around you… and pull you in deeper. They probably had an easy hook into Rogan and his narcissism.
