"As much" sounds rather extreme. Biden has plenty of shortcomings, but he's not running the government as a mafia don and is objectively doing a much better job. I agree that US politics is too much of an oligarchy, but how they rule still matters, and Biden is a breath of fresh air after 4 years of Trump.
Biden spearheaded the destruction of Yugoslavia, was a big part of the austerity measures in the 90s and 2000s and was vice president during the vast increase in drone bombing.
Trump assassinated a foreign dignitary, but not much else. His rhetoric is worse and aesthetically he’s somewhat worse, sure.
I'm talking about his presidency. The breakup of Yugoslavia was decades ago, and it was falling apart by itself, not because of anything a specific US senator did. Of course lots of mistakes were made by many parties around the breakup of Yugoslavia; by the US, by various European countries, and most importantly of course by several Serbian leaders. It's a bit much to blame it all on Biden. But it was falling apart no matter what the US or EU did, unless you want them to support genocide.
It is true that Biden was heavily involved in foreign affairs during that time, but that may actually be why he might currently be the perfect president to have during the war in Ukraine. For a US president, he's doing a much better job at finding a good balance in supporting Ukraine without escalating than I can imagine any other recent president would have done.
Was Biden responsible for the drone strikes? I thought that was Obama's thing. It was certainly a terrible atrocity and something that should never have happened. With Obama's presidency I had high hopes and ended up mostly disappointed. With Biden, I had very low expectations, but he's surpassed them. Not my favourite guy, but definitely better than Trump. Better than Bush. Possibly even better than Obama.
Although I'm deeply disappointed about his union busting. Train union busting, even. I thought he liked trains. That is where I expected much better from him.
