Inflation ripping apart the middle class, gas prices that make people cry at the pump, the constant specter of World War III haunting us as the Russo-Ukraine War drags on with deepened US involvement, and societal hatreds rising in intensity and fervor are the defining aspects, to many Americans, of the Joe Biden presidency so far. Oliver Stone, speaking with Russell Brand, spoke about Biden\u2019s issues and why he regrets voting for Biden in a recent interview.<\/p>\n
The director, who has won two Oscars, spoke with Brand about the current geopolitical situation, saying that we\u2019re drifting ever closer to World War III for no good reason, instead just going along with fears and old alliances rather than trying to stop the needless bloodbath.<\/p>\n
He said, when describing what\u2019s happening in Europe\u2019s bloodlands, \u201cThis is a potential World War III. This is the same situation as World War I, in a sense. The stupidity of it \u2014 because of the alliances and the fears and the built-up phobias.<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n He then added that he blames Biden for America\u2019s reaction to the system and regrets having enabled it by voting for Biden, saying, \u201cIf we don\u2019t stop this, what Biden is doing, I voted for him \u2014 I made a mistake! \u2014 thinking that he was an old man now that he would calm down, he\u2019d be more mellow and so forth. I didn\u2019t see that at all.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n Stone then added that Biden seems to not be even in charge of his own administration, so the drift toward a potentially disastrous war is thanks to people pulling the strings behind the curtains, or just because of a senile president\u2019s drift in one direction without even intending to do so.<\/p>\n He said, \u201cI see a man \u00a0[Biden]\u00a0who maybe is not in charge of his own administration. Who knows [if] he\u2019s going to fall down somewhere. It seems that he\u2019s dragging us stupidly into a confrontation with a power that\u2019s not going to give<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n Watch Stone talk to brand about the issue here:<\/p>\n
