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...)

    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.
