You can initiate a troop withdrawal from a 20-year conflict with less than 4 months of your presidency, but you can't select a supreme court justice unless you have an R next your party affiliation? Biden inherited a shitshow with no other option to get out as fast as possible. He's barking at the wrong guy, of course.
You can blame both of them for the disastrous response. Breaking the terms of the withdrawal, imposing sanctions and then drone striking civilians in Afghanistan before withdrawal were massive contributors. Culpability isn't black and white.
I'd be fine with that analysis. Both presidents fucked up. Republicans are, like classical narcissists, never willing to admit they did anything wrong and eager to blame all their mistakes 100% on other people.
There was nothing wrong with withdrawing, I 100% support that, he just did it really really badly. Do I need to remind you how botched it was?
More botched than the lies that got us there in the first place? No? Cool cool
Uh, not sure how you compare those two things, but yes we should not have not been involved in most of the wars we have been involved in for the last 80 years, including Iraq, Afghanistn, Ukraine, and Isreal.
