Podcaster Joe Rogan accused President Biden and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskiy of trying to “start World War III.”
Logan on Friday criticized Biden for recently approving Ukraine’s president’s request to use long-range missiles made in the United States against Russia to repel a Kremlin invasion.
“How is this allowed to happen when you’re out and about?” Logan said of outgoing lame-duck President Biden. “There needs to be some kind of moratorium on significant actions that could precipitate World War III.”
President Zelenskiy, who was invaded by Moscow in 2022, has long sought approval to use the U.S.-supplied Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) to attack targets inside Russia, a request that Biden finalized last week. approved.
Britain subsequently authorized the use of the Stormshadow missile, a weapon similar to the ATACMS, prompting Russia to launch a new hypersonic ballistic missile into Ukraine.
The Russian government later warned that the new nuclear-capable missile could be used against the United States because of its incredible range.
Russia has also warned of a possible nuclear attack on Ukraine.
Mr. Logan rejected Mr. Zelensky’s claims that Russia was acting out of desperation over the delay in the invasion and the loss of thousands of soldiers, and blamed Ukraine and its military for the escalation of the war.
“Mr. Zelenskyy said President Putin is scared. Damn it, dude,” Logan told the Ukrainian president. “Damn, guys. You’re trying to start World War III.
“That might be the last thing you want to do with a dying former president,” Rogan added, referring to the 82-year-old Biden.
The podcaster then expressed hope that President-elect Donald Trump would be able to stop the Ukraine war, a campaign promise he vowed to fulfill in his Election Day victory speech.
President Trump has indicated he intends to oversee a diplomatic end to the war, including allowing Russia to keep territory it invaded, terms that Ukraine has criticized as unacceptable.
Since launching its invasion in February 2022, Moscow now controls about a fifth of Ukraine, including Crimea and large parts of the Donbass, Zaporizhia and Kherson regions.
Logan is just the latest public figure to cite the current escalation of hostilities as grounds for the outbreak of World War III.
Valery Zarzhini, a former top military commander in Kiev and current special envoy to the UK, said the presence of North Korean troops and Iranian weapons on Russia’s front lines constituted the beginning of World War III.
Companies linked to the Houthis are also sending fighters who trick Yemeni men into joining Moscow’s army, making them believe they are applying for well-paid non-war jobs and Russian citizenship. There are also reports of.
