Joe Rogan’s comments on U.S. involvement in the Ukraine-Russia war sparked a heated response from Ukrainian boxing legend Wladimir Klitschko. Rogan, in a recent episode of his podcast, criticized President Joe Biden’s decision to supply Ukraine with weapons capable of striking Russian territory.
He warned it could escalate tensions into a global conflict. He also accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of provoking war.
Klitschko, who has been active in Ukraine’s defense against Russia since 2022, fired back on social media, accusing Rogan of parroting Kremlin propaganda. He argued that such narratives undermine global democratic efforts and embolden authoritarian regimes.
Klitschko further challenged Rogan to host him on his podcast to discuss the issue openly:

"You [Rogan] talk about these American weapons being sent to Ukraine, which you believe will lead to the Third World War. So, let me tell you that you're repeating the propaganda of Putin. Putin’s Russia is in trouble, so they want to scare you and people like you. His war was supposed to last 3 days, it has lasted 3 years thanks to the heroism and sacrifice of my people. So you are using the only weapon that Putin really intends to use: propaganda... In short, you see, I have quite a few points of difference. If you invite me on your podcast, we could discuss them. Like free men."
Amid the intense debate, conservative commentator Candace Owens weighed in with a succinct reaction to Klitschko’s statement:
“Fake and gay. LOL.”

Joe Rogan opens up on his admiration for Donald Trump
Joe Rogan recently opened up about his evolving view of former President and current President-elect Donald Trump. During a conversation with Evan Hafer on his podcast, Rogan explained why he now admires Trump despite once being a vocal critic.
Highlighting Trump’s unconventional demeanor, Rogan described him as both persuasive and unapologetically authentic:
''He's [Trump] definitely very persuasive... He's great at making friends and making relationships... and if you're his enemy, you don't wanna get on his bad side... But that's him...the guy's right there. You can talk to him about everything and anything and he's right there...I had a much more negative opinion of him back in the day... As time went on I was like, 'Oh you need a guy that is completely crazy to expose how corrupt the whole system is..."
