Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters argues with CNN anchor about Ukraine, China

Roger Waters got into a heated debate with a CNN anchor about who’s really to blame for the war in Ukraine — saying the U.S. and NATO are actually fueling the ongoing conflict.

The Pink Floyd rocker sat down with Michael Smerkonish at his show over the weekend and they got down to it about Ukraine and China too… with RW taking the stand that not all is as it seems when it comes to who’s to blame for the struggle it took so long.

Look… he’s saying that we, the States, are partly to blame for supporting him by not pressuring Zelensky to cut a cease-fire deal with Putin — and instead continuing to fund/supply their war effort (to Ukraine, that is).

Smerkonish dismisses this, pointing out that here Roger seems to be pointing the finger at the country that was attacked — but there, too, Roger doubles down … and says that this thing has been going on for much longer than just a year, claiming that NATO is fanned the flames.

When confronted with the idea that America has an obligation to step in and be a “liberator”… Roger kind of loses it, saying that they have no place in the world – even arguing that they wouldn’t get involved in World War II until the attack on Pearl Harbor.

One last thing…they also talk about Taiwan, and Roger again takes the opposite view that the nation actually belongs to the People’s Republic, despite what the US might think.

Wow, this is amazing! Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters told CNN: “[China] does not bypass Taiwan, Taiwan is part of China! And this has been absolutely accepted by the entire international community since 1948. pic.twitter.com/AlSWd57ex4

He sounds very pro-China/pro-Russia… at least that seems to be the consensus on Twitter, and the dude is pulling hard for it. Roger, however, seems determined.
