1. He slow-rolled military aid to Ukraine out of fear of provoking Vladimir Putin
He refused Ukraine’s requests for Stinger and Javelin missiles for months before Russia invaded. After Moscow attacked, he offered to help President Volodymyr Zelensky escape — to which the Ukrainian leader reportedly replied, “I need ammunition, not a ride.” Then Biden forced Ukraine to defend itself for months primarily with antiquated Soviet-era weaponry — and blocked Poland from transferring Soviet-designed MiG-29 jets to Kyiv, terrified that stronger U.S. support could cause “World War III.” (This prompted Zelensky to ask “What is NATO doing? Is it being run by Russia?&rdquo😉 Biden waited more than nine months to give Ukraine just one Patriot air-defense system, allowing Putin to destroy schools, homes, hospitals and critical infrastructure. When he finally did deliver the game-changing High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), they had been secretly modified so they couldn’t fire long-range rockets. And Biden still refuses to give Ukraine or longer-range Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missiles because they could (theoretically) reach Russia or M1 Abrams tanks. As a Ukrainian reporter asked Biden at his news conference with Zelensky: “Can we make long story short and give Ukraine all capabilities it needs and liberate all territories rather sooner than later?” Zelensky added: “I agree.” Biden’s refusal to do so is dragging out the conflict, leading to thousands of civilian deaths and delaying Putin’s defeat.
Limiting this list to 10 was extremely difficult, so here are a few dishonorable mentions: Biden engaged in weak public hand-wringing at a Democratic fundraiser about his fears Putin might start a nuclear war. He fecklessly depleted the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to lower gas prices before the midterm elections. He did not deliver on his promised support for Afghan women or for women rising up in Iran. And after promising to put his “whole soul” into uniting the country, he compared Republicans to racists, segregationists and traitors.
Biden’s second year was even more divisive and incompetent than his first. I shudder to think what Year 3 will bring.

What a pile of dog chit.
Even the ones that are sort of true are hardly something to brag about.
The bit about sending B-52's to Australia had me in stitches, we've had Buffs going to Australia for 45 years, I deployed there twice in 1980 and 81.

Biden has been wrong 100% of the time on global matters. A dam loser. Do you think WAPO will now balance their reporting by posting this one?

@mott-the-hoople saidI agree Biden did not handle the withdrawal from Afghanistan well. While he is not perfect, I believe he has done an outstanding job, especially considering the Republican agenda is to oppose all things presented by Democrats.

@mott-the-hoople saidCompletely opposite to your other postings proclaiming no war under Trump.

And yet you would vote for Trump who basically let Putin run America's foreign policy.
Everything that is being done is being done jointly with most of Europe involved.
This is a coordinated global effort. Not some amateurish adventure run by some orange haired clown.
Nobody even wants to think about where we would be if Trump was President now.
@phranny saidRemember, Trump started the Afghanistan fiasco by reducing troop strength on Dec 7, 2020 when he should have been transferring power to the incoming President.

Biden should have handled it better, but Trump started that ball rolling.

you dont make sense
@phranny saidhahaha. Do Repubs oppose 'all things' presented by democrats? What do Dems present that we should find acceptable. We prob would not like your presenting our paying off the loans of college graduates. Do you have anything else?

@mghrn55 saidTrump had a CONTROLLED withdrawal...biden came in and just jerked everyone out, leaving 13 American soldiers and hundreds of Afghan allies dead...FALLING OFF OF AIRPLANES ON THE RUNWAY.

@phranny saidYes, I see now that it was, save the first paragraph where someone who knows more than we do., Obama's Sec of Defense (Obama's, mind you), says there that "Biden has been wrong on pr'neer every foreign policy and national security issue for 40 years."
I agree Biden did not handle the withdrawal from Afghanistan well. The article you posted is entirely devoted to his handling of Afghanistan.
So I rest my case, as you skip over that, and, as usual, get personal with AverageJoe1. Yes, I did not read the article, just the headline, as I already know what they are talking about. I could find a better link but I am not going to fool with it, it is common knowledge.
