Joe Rogan Rails Against Biden, Zelensky: 'About to Start World War III'

During a Friday episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, the world's biggest podcast, Rogan criticized Biden's decision to allow Ukraine to use U.S.-made, long-range missiles to strike targets in Russia, calling it reckless.
"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.
"There should be some sort of pause for significant actions that could potentially start World War III," he said.
Rogan's remarks followed a series of missile attacks by Ukraine deep into Russian territory, reportedly targeting military facilities such as an ammunition depot in Bryansk.
The escalation came after the U.S. lifted restrictions on Ukraine's use of Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) weapons, prompting criticism from the outgoing president's opponents.
"Zelensky says Putin is terrified," Rogan said. "F*** you, man. F*** you people. You people are about to start World War III."
Since the start of its full-scale invasion in 2022, Russia has been firing its missiles at Ukrainian targets, hitting both military and civilian facilities across the country.
Rogan suggested Ukraine pursue negotiations instead of escalating military actions [...]
"Maybe that would be a good thing we would like to avoid from a dying former president," Rogan said.
Rogan expressed a preference for President-elect Donald Trump's leadership, saying, "We voted Trump in, and his idea is to stop all this s***, and hopefully he can do that." His guest, music producer Scott Storch, agreed, saying he felt "safer" with Trump becoming president.
The recent Ukrainian strikes into Russia followed Moscow's deployment of North Korean troops to the front lines in the Kursk region, an action described by the Biden administration as a significant escalation of the conflict.
