Oliver Stone Warns of America's 'Hunger for War'
Oscar-winning filmmaker says the US has adopted a more militaristic path and risks a larger, more destructive conflict, according to Anadolu Agency.

American filmmaker Oliver Stone has said the United States exhibits a "hunger for war," warning that the country has moved toward a more militaristic approach in its foreign policy, according to a report by Turkey's Anadolu Agency.
The Oscar-winning director, known for war-themed films, said this shift could lead to an "even bigger and worse war" if current trends continue, Anadolu Agency reported.
Stone's remarks, as cited by the agency, reflect concern over the direction of US military and foreign policy, though the report did not specify the exact context or venue of his comments.
Anadolu Agency did not provide further details on when or where Stone made the statements, nor did it include additional context from US officials or other commentators in response to his remarks.
Stone has previously been vocal about US foreign policy and military engagements through his films and public statements, though this report focuses specifically on his warning about an escalating militaristic trajectory.
