President Biden's foreign policy and leadership legacies were cemented in American voters' minds back in the summer of 2021, just months into his term. He had promised an orderly and dignified US exit from Afghanistan after nearly two decades of post-9/11 war, in which all Americans and American allies who wished to leave the country would be guaranteed safe passage. It was "highly unlikely" at Afghanistan would fall to terrorists, he insisted. He delivered a bloody and chaotic withdrawal, in which thousands of Americans, and tens of thousands of allies, were left behind -- as the country collapsed into total terrorist control. He declared these developments an "extraordinary success" in real time, even as Americans were killed in the melee, meting out no accountability. Biden's overall job approval rating fell underwater during this disgraceful episode, and has never recovered.


Biden campaigned on competency, restoring calm in the wake of Trump's turbulence, and reigniting supposedly waning global respect for the United States. After the Afghanistan debacle, adversaries viewed Biden as weak, incoherent and doddering. Allies viewed America with suspicion and concern about our commitment to promises. And enemies were emboldened. On several high-profile occasions, Biden and top officials in his administration have looked into the camera and issued a simple warning: "Don't." This failed spectacularly at the southern border, where policies and actions spoke much louder than empty words, resulting in ten million illegal crossings on Biden's watch. Prior to his disastrous invasion of Ukraine, Vladimir Putin received numerous warnings against launching the war. But Biden's 'don't' was undermined by another presidential comment:

The White House on Thursday sought to clarify remarks by President Biden about the consequences of a “minor incursion” by Russia into Ukraine that appeared to undermine weeks of intense U.S.-led diplomacy aimed at stopping an invasion of the former Soviet republic. Officials in Kyiv reacted angrily to Biden’s comments at a news conference Wednesday in which he appeared to wobble on backing Ukraine if it were attacked by its larger neighbor. An array of U.S. lawmakers and world leaders also expressed dismay at Biden’s comments, with some saying the president appeared to offer his Russian counterpart a green light to launch a limited invasion. The White House and Western leaders spent Thursday trying to clean up the damage, with Biden telling reporters he has been “absolutely clear with President Putin. He has no misunderstanding. If any — any — assembled Russian units move across the Ukrainian border, that is an invasion ... It would be met with severe and coordinated economic response.”
