The 55-year-old MMA enthusiast discusses almost everything happening in the world on his widely heard ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ podcast on Spotify. Recently, he had a fellow comedian, Dave Smith, on the show.

The duo, during their talk, stumbled upon the topic of Russia and Ukraine. “This thing with Russia is the craziest thing in the world. The idea that we’re actually flirting with a nuclear conflict with Russia?… We’ll destroy the human species if we do this,” Smithe said.

Further on, Smith gave an insight into the politics behind the war. He even revealed a deal that would end the conflict. According to Smith’s sources, the deal stipulated that Vladimir Putin would retreat if Ukraine promised to ensure autonomy for the Donbas region and never join NATO.
