"It's really that simple?"- Joe Rogan blown away by former US representative’s explanation of NATO bombing Serbia during Kosovo conflict

Joe Rogan has been known to share his thoughts on a wide-ranging variety of topics on his immensely popular podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience. He recently discussed the 1999 NATO bombing of Serbia with a former United States representative.

The UFC commentator was joined by guest Rod Blagojevich on episode #2245 of JRE. The former governor of Illinois, who was jailed for public corruption, discussed his Serbian background before adding:

"It's a country that we bombed. In 1999, the United States and NATO bombed Serbia without the United Nations approval the way Russia's invaded Ukraine... They were trying to force the Serbian government to give up a part of their country, Kosovo. Give it up. That would be like NATO threatening to bomb us to say give up Texas to Mexico. And the Serbian government said we're not going to do it so the United States decided to bomb them if they didn't sign an agreement that was made in France called the Rambouillet Agreement that would have put it up for a referendum."

Rogan responded by questioning:

"Jesus, it's really that simple?"
