Joe Rogan recently voiced his concerns about the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war and its potential escalation due to U.S. involvement, while also expressing political opinions on the 2024 U.S. Presidential elections during episodes of The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE).
Rogan’s Concerns About the Russia-Ukraine Conflict
On episode #2233, featuring musician Scott Storch, Rogan criticized the U.S. government’s actions, particularly concerning recent missile launches and retaliations between Ukraine and Russia.
- Rogan noted that Ukraine’s missile launches into Russian territory could dangerously escalate the conflict, potentially sparking World War III.
“How do you [the Democrats] allow [Ukraine] to do that… Maybe there should be a pause on significant actions that could start World War III.”
- He emphasized the dangers of Russia’s intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) launch, explaining that while this missile didn’t carry nuclear warheads, the use of such technology could have catastrophic global consequences:
“If it [the ICBM] does [carry a nuclear warhead], the whole world changes.”
Support for Trump and Elon Musk’s Comments
Rogan also touched on the 2024 U.S. Presidential elections during a prior JRE episode featuring Elon Musk, where Musk endorsed Donald Trump and the Republican party.
- Musk warned about potential demographic shifts affecting swing states, suggesting that Democratic victories could make the political landscape resemble California’s.
“If the Dems win this election, they will legalize enough illegals to turn the swing states.”
- Rogan agreed with Musk’s statements and publicly endorsed Trump, sharing the episode on social media with the caption:
“The great and powerful @elonmusk… If it wasn’t for him, we’d be f**ked. He makes the most compelling case for Trump you’ll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way.”
