"Podcaster Joe Rogan has accused President Biden and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky of trying to “start World War III.”
Rogan on Friday slammed Biden for recently approving the Ukrainian president’s request to use US-made long-range missiles against Russia to fight off the Kremlin’s invasion.
“How are you allowed to do that when you’re on your way out?” Rogan said of lame-duck outgoing President Biden. “There should be some sort of pause for significant actions that could potentially start World War III.”Zelensky has long pleaded for approval to use US-supplied Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) to attack targets in Russia, a request Biden finally approved last week.
Britain then approved the use of its Storm Shadow missile — a weapon similar to the ATACMS — sparking Russia to fire a new hypersonic ballistic missile at Ukraine.
Moscow has since warned that its new missile, which is capable of carrying a nuclear weapon, could be used against the US because of its extraordinary range.
Russia also has warned of the possibility of a nuclear strike in Ukraine.
Rogan blamed the escalation of the war on Ukraine and its military as he rejected Zelensky’s claims that Russia was acting out of desperation over its slowed invasion and loss of thousands of troops.
