Joe Rogan Warns: Biden and Zelensky Policies Risk Sparking World War III.
Podcaster Joe Rogan expressed strong disapproval of President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday, claiming their actions could lead to "World War III."
In a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, the most popular podcast globally, Rogan took aim at Biden's choice to permit Ukraine to utilize U.S.-made long-range missiles against targets in Russia, labeling it as irresponsible. "How can you make such decisions when you're nearing the end of your term? People are ready for you to go,"
Rogan questioned, referring to Biden's "lame-duck" status. "There should be a pause on major decisions that could trigger World War III," he added. Rogan's comments came after Ukraine launched missile strikes deep into Russian territory, reportedly hitting military sites like an ammunition depot in Bryansk. This escalation followed the U.S. lifting restrictions on Ukraine's use of Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) weapons, which drew criticism from Biden's political opponents. "Zelensky claims Putin is scared," Rogan remarked. "Forget that, man. You folks are on the verge of igniting World War III."
Since the beginning of its large-scale invasion in 2022, Russia has been targeting Ukrainian sites with missile strikes, affecting both military and civilian infrastructure throughout the nation. Rogan proposed that Ukraine consider negotiations rather than intensifying military actions, voicing his discontent with the ongoing conflict.
"Perhaps that would be a positive step we should take to avoid a dying former president," Rogan remarked. He expressed his support for President-elect Donald Trump's leadership, stating, "We elected Trump, and his plan is to put an end to all this chaos, and hopefully he can achieve that."

His guest, music producer Scott Storch, concurred, mentioning that he felt "safer" with Trump in the presidency. The recent Ukrainian attacks on Russian territory came after Moscow's decision to deploy North Korean troops to the front lines in the Kursk area, which the Biden administration labeled as a major escalation in the conflict. Reports suggest that around 10,000 North Korean soldiers have joined Russia's operations in Kursk, with U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin stating, "I fully expect to see them involved in combat soon." Austin mentioned on Saturday that he anticipated North Korean troops would be "engaged in combat soon."
The State Department confirmed in mid-November that North Korean soldiers were "participating in combat operations alongside Russian forces" after receiving training in drone usage, artillery, and basic infantry tactics.
