"That's one of the things that's most dangerous about finding out that intelligence agencies are involved in censorship.

In the same episode of his popular podcast show, Joe Rogan, alongside comedian and political commentator Dave Smith, looked into the current situation of the ongoing Ukraine-Russia war.
There has been a lot of tension going on recently between the two nations over a lot of issues including territory and identity. Despite a lot of effort through MOUs, the seemingly never-ending war remains unresolved between the two nations.
Commenting on the matter, Dave Smith spoke of the rising tensions in the Donbas region of Ukraine and the politics behind the entire situation. He also noted how despite a lot of deals being put forth, neither of the two governments are ready to negotiate.
Speaking of one such deal pertaining to the Donbas area, Smith said:
"They had a deal worked out. It has been reported in multiple sources that they had a deal worked out. And the deal was basically that Vladimir Putin would pull back, he would pull back his troops and leave Ukraine under the condition that ... very simple condition that Ukraine guaranteed autonomy for the Donbas region and agreed to never join NATO."
Smith continued:
"Like that was the deal... I'm not saying that's the perfect deal but it's better than what we got right now."
Adding on to his comments, Rogan said:
"It's better than nuclear war."
