Wrong. Biden was only in office when the Afghan withdrawal was conducted. It was handed over to him from the Trump administration and he completely fucked it up. President Biden and his military advisors strayed from the original plan, and chaos evolved.
And if you remember, President Trump defeated 100 percent of ISIS’ territorial caliphate in Iraq and Syria. He did not start any new wars. He did arm Ukraine with anti-tank missiles which at that time, prevented Russia from invading Ukraine. Russia originally invaded Ukraine during the administration of another weak President, Barack Obama. They then waited until Biden was elected, and now we have a major war between Ukraine and Russia. North KOrea is also sending troops and supplies to help Russia in the Ukraine War. That never would have happened if Trump were President. Then there's the other war currently raging under the Biden administration: The Hamas attack on Israel. That's another war that would have been prevented under President Trump.
Let's look at some of the other conflicts that are happening under Biden:
"In the Middle East, US forces remain in harm’s way despite the region’s declining strategic relevance to the United States. Today, a total of
900 troops are deployed in Syria and
2,500 military personnel remain in Iraq. These troops represent sitting ducks, serving
no strategic purpose for the US.
Since October 2023, Iran-backed groups have launched
more than 170 attacks on US troops in Iraq and Syria, as recently as
yesterday. So far, these attacks have resulted in the tragic deaths of
three US service members in Jordan and left at least
130 American troops with traumatic brain injuries. US support for the Saudi Arabia-led
war in Yemen helped the Houthis consolidate power and align with Iran.
The Houthis have attacked
over fifty shipping vessels since November 2023 in retaliation to Western support for Israel’s war in Gaza. US naval forces have launched numerous
strikes against the Houthis,
including the day of Biden’s Oval Office address. Pentagon officials and analysts alike have labeled these attacks as the
toughest running sea battle that the US Navy has faced since World War II. So far, casualties include
two Navy SEALS during an interdiction mission of a ship carrying Iranian weapons.
Involvement in Yemen also epitomizes how objectiveless the War on Terror has been. When asked about the strikes against the Houthis, Biden
said, “When you say ‘working,’ are they stopping the Houthis? No. Are they going to continue? Yes.” Besides placing US troops in danger, this tit-for-tat between the US Navy and the Houthis has cost the United States
around $1 billion in missiles and munitions.
Despite this, the Middle East is neither more stable nor secure.
Outside of the Middle East, the United States under Biden has been involved in active combat throughout the African continent, with most of these missions taking place under
Operation Juniper Shield, a counterterrorism mission. Today, the United States has approximately
10,219 troops deployed throughout Africa at approximately twenty
bases throughout the continent, including Somalia, Mali, Kenya, Chad, and Niger. Just as in the Middle East, the results of US troops in Africa have been lackluster at best. Somalia remains a failed state, and coups have upended Mali and Niger. Though plans to
withdraw US troops from Niger and
Chad are welcomed, a Pentagon spokesperson called this only a “
temporary step.”
