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.

    Yeah, saying the truth about Ukraine is the fastest way to get someone to call you a Russian bot. Even suggesting Zelenskyy should hold elections or allow opposition parties/media will piss off nafo stans.

        There it is. If “hold elections” sets you off, you’re backing a dictator.

          Hold elections during a war? That sounds like a terrible idea.

            So just hold onto power indefinitely by never ending the war. Netanyahu and Zelenskyy using the same playbook.

            It’s actually a fine idea, and the only way for a truly democratic country to allow the citizens to choose themselves whether or not the war should continue.

              It’s not the same. What are you talking about. Ukraine is the one being invaded. How do you get Ukrainian citizens currently being occupied ballots?

                Considering the last fair Ukrainian election leaned friendly towards Russia, before the US staged a coup with the far-right, I’d be willing to bet Russia would allow neurtral election monitors in.

                  Sorry, when was the last fair election in Ruzzia again?

                  Who was it that backed the totalitarian ruler that was overthrown by the people of Ukraine?

                    They probably haven’t had a fair election since the Soviet Union. Just because I oppose the far right puppet government in Ukraine does not imply I support Russia.

                    The people of Ukraine elected a government that was then overthrown in a coup by far-right Nazis and backed by the US.

              the only way for a truly democratic country to allow the citizens to choose themselves whether or not the war should continue.

              So you’re saying that if the Ukrainian citizenry simply votes to stop the war, Russia will stop shelling their homes?

                Considering the last fair election leaned pro-Russia, it’s more likely Zelenskyy’s far right regime would kill the ethnic Russian Ukrainians in retaliation, as they did for 8 years prior to the invasion.

                    Not since the Soviet Union. I don’t support Russia either.

      And what do you think about Russia’s fake elections? What do you think about what happened to Navalny?

        I think they’re a fascist oligarchy.

        I’m gonna blow your mind here: you don’t have to support Russia to oppose the Nazi puppet government in Ukraine.
