I know Joe Rogan is only a commentator and former fighter, but he's clearly had one too many blows to his thick, empty head. He seems to think that President Zelensky is pushing the world closer to World War III simply because he has the audacity to defend the sovereignty of his country from the invading Russian military under that dictator Putin, and that President Biden is also helping push us toward this calamity by providing Ukraine with the means to defend themselves. Sure, Rogan isn't the sharpest knife in the draw - we all knew this already, especially when he backed Trump. But he clearly is a smacking moron given his line of thinking here! Ukraine did not start a war with Russia, it was the other way around. Russia illegally annexed Crimea in 2014 and are now trying to take the entire country. Zelensky has every right to defend his country and his people from Putin, and Biden is absolutely doing the right thing by giving him the means to do so, as are a multitude of other western nations - including Australia. Rogan needs to stick to calling stupid, pointless UFC fights and leave foreign policy to the grown-ups.
https://www.news.com.au/world/north-america/us-politics/joe-rogan-rants-against-... Armchair, I'm not in the habit of defending Conservative shock-jocks - their Conservatism is fatally flawed.
But in the absence of
effective international law under the auspices of the UN which was supposed
"to save mankind from the scourge of war" - in the age of MAD, no less - then I'll settle for the guy in charge of the Pentagon (the repository of the world's mightiest military force)
IF that guy has anti-war instincts, like Trump.Rogan is merely jumping on the Trump bandwagon, faced with Russia's nuclear capability, and the cost of supporting NATO against Russia. I doubt whether thick-head Rogan was against the Vietnam war, Iraq war or any other war....
I want Trump to pick up the phone to Putin (Trump is one of the few people in the world who can do it), and say: "we gotta end this war, I'm not interested in spending US money on NATO, let's get this done today.
And btw, stop Russia's descent into poverty and failed state status, as even China and India are not interested in supporting you any longer in this war."
Meanwhile thickheads like Biden and the EU leadership are happy to "fight to protect democracy" against the 2nd most powerful nuclear arsenal, in the age of MAD.
LIke Trump (and Putin), I think such "democracy" is a threat to human survival on this planet.
But Trump is on notice: stop the war soon, or be exposed as merely another gutless wind bag (though with an authoritarian - as opposed to "democratic" - bent..)
Trump has the most powerful, technologically advanced military in the world, he CAN use it to stop wars from even starting, as he said he would.
