Joe Rogan thinks that Russia played a major part in Brittney Griner getting arrested

While on his podcast, Joe Rogan also spoke his mind about the current situation between Ukraine and Russia. Joe Rogan admitted that he would like things to work out between the two countries so that they can reach the middle ground with this case. However, he also noted that Russia invading Ukraine plays a big factor in this situation. "I would like them to work this out, but I think it’s part of a bigger problem. The bigger problem is that Russia has invaded Ukraine." Rogan also said that if Brittney Griner had visited Russia a few years back, this would have never happened."Like, if she would have gone over there a year-and-a-half ago, it would have been no big deal.” For the time being, it looks like the Russian authorities are nowhere near releasing Griner.
