There's no way this is America's last invasion or nation-building project, but I appreciate someone in power even suggesting it could and should end. (Christ what a low bar...)

Sure but also it's just a sentiment. It can easily be discarded with any number of pretenses. Americans are bloodthirsty and Biden has a weird but still imperialist past on foreign policy.
Not saying you should expect Iraq Part 2: This Time it's North Korea. I just wouldn't put much stock in these words.
i mean it’s not sentiment when he literally just withdrew.
Won’t deny that further imperialism can happen but a bit much to equivocate what Bush did with this.
The comparable betrayal would be for Biden et al to invade another country under the premise of transforming it into a preferable one via occupation and institution of a new government. We won't know that he has failed this comparison until after his term.
Biden's words aren't, "we just left a nation", it's a generalization about doing no more nation-building.
