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.
It’s possible, though I think the simplest explanation is the guys a cunt with no internal morality, and an unquenchable thirst for love and fame
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.
