Olympic gold medalist argues in video that podcaster’s remarks about war in Ukraine is result of Putin-led plot

Summary

Former Ukrainian boxing champion Wladimir Klitschko accused podcaster Joe Rogan of “repeating Russian propaganda” after Rogan criticized U.S. military aid to Ukraine and suggested it could escalate into World War III.

Klitschko defended Ukraine’s resistance against Russia, highlighting the country’s fight for freedom and condemning Rogan’s remarks as aiding Putin’s agenda.

He invited Rogan to discuss their differences on the podcast “like free men.”

Rogan, who recently endorsed Donald Trump, called the war a “proxy war” and criticized Biden’s decision to allow Ukraine to strike Russian soil with U.S.-supplied missiles.

    No, that was just your misinterpretation.

    Quoting you:

    You should let the New York Times know their direct observations are “Kremlin talking points.”

    Are you now saying that Nazi apologism is a Kremlin talking point or not? Because earlier you said the article would prove Ukraine is Nazi but now the article is apologism. Which is it?

      No, you claimed acknowledging the existence of widespread Naziism in Ukraine to be a Kremlin talking point. Presumably, that extends the western defense of it.

      What about the US Congress lifting the ban on arming Nazis in order to arm Ukraine. Were they also engaging in Kremlin propaganda?

        Because there is no widespread Nazism in Ukraine. I asked you to prove it, you provided the article as proof but the article refuted your point. You then said it was apologist. So which is it? Irrefutable evidence supporting the kremlin’s position or Apologism?

        What about the US Congress lifting the ban on arming Nazis in order to arm Ukraine. Were they also engaging in Kremlin propaganda?

        Hmm let me wrack my brain here. You’ll have to point me to the specific wording. The US congress literally said “Nazis can use our weapons”? Or is Nazi a label that Russia has attributed to certain fighters and you’re now repeating?

            What are you trying to prove with this article?

            That several groups could no longer substantiate weapons bans to Azov because they could not find any long lasting or significant ties to hate crimes or Gross Violations of Human rights originally tabled by the Kremlin?

            This article is further evidence that Russia used Azov’s early ties to Ukrianian Nationalism in the East as as a tool to claim Ukraine is a Nazi state.

            If that alone is evidence to condemn the whole of Ukraine then this image is enough to condemn the whole of Russia.

            You keep trying to provide evidence that russia’s claims are true but your evidence simply proves my point.
