American podcaster Joe Rogan launches a scathing attack on both US President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, warning that they could spark a global war in the Ukraine-Russia conflict. He accused the government of escalating the situation to such an extent.
In a recent podcast, Mr. Logan criticized Mr. Biden for greenlighting Mr. Zelensky’s request to use long-range missiles made in the United States against Russian forces, a decision that could have devastating consequences. He believes that there is. “How can that be allowed to happen when you’re out and about?” Logan said, as reported by the New York Post, adding that any serious action that could spark World War III requires some sort of moratorium. He said that.
Mr. Biden recently approved the Ukrainian president’s request to use the U.S.-supplied Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) in the war against Russia. The approval follows months of President Zelenskiy appealing to Washington for advanced weapons to strengthen Ukraine’s resistance to the Russian invasion that began in 2022. In response, Britain also authorized the use of Stormshadow missiles, a weapon comparable to ATACMS.
The Russian government responded to these developments by firing a new nuclear-capable hypersonic missile into Ukraine. The Kremlin warned that the missile’s extensive range could directly target the United States, raising the threat of nuclear conflict.
Mr. Logan placed the blame squarely on Ukraine for the escalation of the conflict, rejecting Mr. Zelenskyy’s claims that Russia was suffering from a slow invasion and mounting casualties. “Mr. Zelensky says he is afraid of Mr. Putin,” Logan said, adding: “You are trying to start World War III.”
UFC commentators also expressed concern about the Biden administration’s role in the crisis, suggesting their actions could lead to catastrophic consequences. “That might be something you want to avoid with a dying former president,” Rogan said, referring to the 82-year-old Biden.
Logan also expressed hope that US President-elect Donald Trump can end the war. President Trump has previously indicated he would negotiate a diplomatic solution to the conflict. That could include holding on to territories occupied by Russia, which Zelensky and Ukraine adamantly refuse.
Logan’s comments are not the first by a public figure to warn that the war’s current trajectory could lead to broader global conflict. Former Ukrainian military commander Valery Zarzhiny suggested that the involvement of North Korean soldiers and Iranian weapons on the front lines of the conflict signaled the beginning of World War III.
