In a recent scathing open letter, acclaimed filmmaker Michael Moore has lambasted President Joe Biden for what he describes as leading America into a potential ‘World War III’.
Known for his provocative documentaries and outspoken liberal views, Moore’s criticism casts a shadow over Biden’s foreign policy, particularly in relation to the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East.
Moore’s letter, which has garnered attention across various platforms, directly challenges Biden’s legacy. He questions the president’s decisions on arming conflicts, notably pointing out the approval of weapons deliveries to Ukraine, including controversial long-range missiles and anti-personnel land mines.

“LAND MINES, Joe? Seriously? THIS is your legacy? This is how you want to go out? In a blaze of horror?” Moore questions, highlighting what he perceives as a dangerous escalation in foreign policy that could drag the U.S. into broader conflicts.
The filmmaker’s critique extends to Biden’s handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict. Moore criticizes the Biden administration’s decision to veto a United Nations Security Council resolution calling for an “unconditional ceasefire” in Gaza, arguing that this move positions the U.S. as the only country favoring further “death and destruction”. This stance reflects Moore’s broader concern about America’s role in international conflicts, suggesting a significant departure from what he might have initially expected from a Biden presidency.
Moore’s letter also touches on broader themes of legacy and moral responsibility, urging Biden to focus on domestic issues rather than what he sees as unnecessary involvement in foreign wars. He calls for Biden to leverage his remaining time in office to enact policies that would benefit Americans directly, such as forgiving student and medical debt, which Moore has previously suggested could cement Biden’s status as a ‘Great President’.
The reaction to Moore’s critique has been polarized, reflecting the deeply divided political landscape. On one side, his comments resonate with those who feel that the U.S. foreign policy under Biden has been too aggressive or militaristic. On the other side, critics argue that Moore’s views are overly simplistic, not accounting for the complexities of international diplomacy and the defense of democratic allies. Some see his statements as part of a pattern of hyperbolic critique aimed at Democratic leaders when they do not meet far-left expectations ().
Moore’s letter also reignites discussions on the role of the U.S. in global conflicts, questioning whether the current administration’s policies are steering the country towards unnecessary confrontations or if they are necessary responses to global threats. The debate touches on broader issues of interventionism versus isolationism, the ethics of supplying weapons, and the long-term implications of U.S. foreign policy decisions.
While Moore’s critique might not sway everyone, it certainly adds to the ongoing discourse about the direction of U.S. foreign policy under Biden. His provocative language, like the phrase “blaze of horror,” is intended to shock and provoke thought, urging a reevaluation of America’s involvement in global conflicts.
As the world watches, the implications of these policies will be debated long after Biden’s term ends. Whether Moore’s warnings will lead to policy shifts or merely serve as another chapter in his long history of political commentary remains to be seen. However, his voice, as always, underscores the need for public dialogue on these critical issues, challenging both policymakers and the public to reflect on the legacy they wish to leave behind in terms of peace, war, and international relations.
