Radio host Charlamagne tha God has voiced concern over escalating tensions between former U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, warning it “could be the end of civilization as we know it.”
Speaking on Tuesday’s episode of The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne said, “Those two egos could be the end of civilization.” Trump had recently called Putin “absolutely crazy” on Truth Social following Russian missile strikes on Ukrainian cities, adding that the Russian leader was “needlessly killing a lot of people.”
In another post, Trump warned Putin was “playing with fire.” Russia dismissed Trump’s remarks as an “emotional overload.”
Commenting on the feud, Charlamagne said, “It could get stupid real fast.” Journalist Morgyn Wood responded, “We don’t need those problems,” to which he replied, “That’s bigger than a problem.”
He also speculated whether Putin held blackmail material on Trump, adding, “Wouldn’t you want to get the guy… out of here?”
