Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters believes Joe Biden is a 'war criminal' who is 'fueling the fire in Ukraine.'

Waters, 78, who is currently on a solo tour, branded Biden with the provocative title during a montage played at his rock show.

The British musician got into a heated debate with CNN host Michael Smerconish over the weekend after the journalist questioned Waters' decision to include Biden in the provocative segment of his show.

Waters justified including Biden in his war criminal montage by saying the US president committed a 'huge crime' by not encouraging Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to negotiate and put an end to 'this horrific, horrendous war.' 

The pair also argued over America's role in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, as well as the ongoing tension between China and Taiwan

Waters believes the US has overstepped by involving itself in these foreign affairs and is pushing 'liberator propaganda.'

Amid his highly political This Is Not a Drill Tour, Waters sat down with Smerconish to discuss the messages depicted during the concert. 

The CNN host began the interview by probing Waters about the 'war criminal' label he slapped Biden with. 

'Well, he's fueling the war in the Ukraine,' the Pink Floyd co-founder responded. 'That is a huge crime. Why won't the United States of America encourage Zelensky to negotiate, obviating the need for this horrific, horrendous war?'

Smerconish hit back, accusing Waters of 'blaming the party who got invaded,' however the musician countered by accusing NATO of forcing Russia's hand.

'Well, any war, when did it start? What you need to do is look at the history, and you can say, 'Well, it started on this day." You could say it started in 2008,' Waters argued.

'This war is basically about the action and reaction of NATO pushing right up to the Russian border, which they promised they wouldn't do when [Mikhail] Gorbachev negotiated the withdrawal of the USSR from the whole of Eastern Europe.'

Smerconish suggested the US has a history of taking on the role of global 'liberator,' which Waters immediately dismissed.

'You got into World War II because of Pearl Harbor. You were completely isolationists,' the musician alleged. 

'Thank god the Russians had already won the bloody war by then. Twenty-three million Russians died, protecting you and me from the Nazi menace.'
