Summary
Former Ukrainian boxing champion Wladimir Klitschko accused podcaster Joe Rogan of “repeating Russian propaganda” after Rogan criticized U.S. military aid to Ukraine and suggested it could escalate into World War III.
Klitschko defended Ukraine’s resistance against Russia, highlighting the country’s fight for freedom and condemning Rogan’s remarks as aiding Putin’s agenda.
He invited Rogan to discuss their differences on the podcast “like free men.”
Rogan, who recently endorsed Donald Trump, called the war a “proxy war” and criticized Biden’s decision to allow Ukraine to strike Russian soil with U.S.-supplied missiles.
An individual within the country, such as the former heavyweight champion, has a patriotic obligation to challenge any statements made against their nation or in favor of its adversaries. On the other hand, someone like Rogan, observing from an external perspective, might interpret Ukraine’s actions as merely executing the use of weapons provided to them.
Ukrainians are being leveraged by this administration to sustain the demands of the military-industrial complex. The former champion would benefit from considering Rogan’s perspective, as doing so could potentially contribute to saving many lives.
