In parts thats also heritage from the Donald. Because true is that Biden bases on a "deal" made by the Donald, and the Donald had a timetable listing May this year, and giving the Taleban evertyhing but getting nothing from them in return.

The only reason why I defend Biden is that it often gets painted as if he is the only one responsible for the outcome of the war. This damn US political polarization thing. The US has become a fully binary state, everythign jst zero or one, black or white, all or nothing at all.

One of my two most favourite quotes from Star Wars:

"Only a Sith deals in absolutes."

The differences are that Biden didn't hold them to that May timeline (before the start of fighting season) and he is unable to carry through with any form of violence in response to any failure on the part of the Taliban to adhere to the agreed conditions. Everyone knows that the moment the Taliban violated the terms, Trump would have sent a bunch of them to the grave in response.

*THAT'S* the difference. Whether you like him or not, Trump negotiated from a position of strength backed by a willingness to do what is necessary to hold that other party to the terms of whatever agreement is reached or moving on and ending such agreements if the other party remains recalcitrant. He was also willing to demand that *new* terms be negotiated when presented with agreements that are one-sided and that gain the US nothing (NAFTA, Paris Climate, Iran nuclear deal, etc.). Every Dem administration going back to at least Clinton seems to always agree to things that were decidedly not beneficial to the US and it's citizens (but definitely beneficial to them personal finances of Clinton, Biden, Kerry, Obama, etc.) We deserve leaders who are more concerned with the well being off the citizens that are supposed to serve rather than in lining their own pockets.

Biden is a cuckold, even amongst other Dems.
