        Ah yes USA the country that has vassal states (Israel, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Phillipines, formerly Saudi) all over the world, somehow will become a Russian/Chinese vassal state. Foreign boogeyman propaganda is a sign of a fascist country, and USA is the single biggest one.

      This response is kind of showing how out of touch you are. What is your super informed opinion on Joe Rogan’s listener-ship levels. And for an extra challenge please respond in a way that shows you aren’t out of touch (impossible).

      Dude really? He is more popular than ever and actually reports on interesting things. Is there a single person in the corporate media that does a more interesting job?

    He said it to skirt consequences. There are still far too many people that think he’s a journalist.
