We’re still talking about Joe Biden’s comments about a potential “minor incursion” of Russia invading Ukraine. Because his comments were just that bad.

Biden’s remarks are giving a lot of people some serious déjà vu.
Biden saying that we might not respond disproportionately to a "minor incursion" by Putinin Ukraine is the worst foreign policy blunder since…Biden surrendered Afghanistan to the Taliban and got 13 Americans killed and left hundreds more behind. So yeah, he sucks at this.

Comparisons to Afghanistan are actually quite apropos, as it happens:

This is not a drill:

Love her snide comment about not putting chips in Americans to monitor their whereabouts. Glad she can just dismiss concerns people might have about their fellow citizens being left stranded in a foreign country that’s under attack.
Good Lord.
Wait did they not hear the White House clarification that Biden wasn’t really giving Moscow the green light to invade? https://t.co/qOjwsPSBiu

Deja vu

The episode sucks this time around, too.
We’ve been here before. This has the “we’re abandoning Americans” vibes again https://t.co/5i4d2AJH5f

Knowing how the Biden administration operates, that doesn’t make us feel any better.
It shouldn’t make anyone feel better.
