Former world heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko has responded to UFC commentator Joe Rogan's criticism of the U.S. government over its decision to allow Ukraine to fire long-range missiles at Russian territory.
"Joe Rogan, I listened to your latest podcast. Sending you this video to let you know that I disagree. You talk about these American weapons that are being sent to Ukraine that you think will lead to World War III. Let me tell you that you are repeating Russian propaganda.
Putin's Russia is in trouble so they want to scare you and people like you. His war was supposed to last three days and it has lasted three years because of the heroism and sacrifices of Ukrainians. So you're using the only weapon Putin really intends to use: propaganda. And that weapon is actually weakening our democracies.
Putin's Russia wants to destroy Ukraine quietly, they want America to be quiet. Not great, but quiet. A great America is not an America that gives up on countries that defend freedom with their lives. To make a long story short, you can see that I have some different views. If you invite me on your podcast, we can discuss them as free people," Klitschko stated.
