For a long time I've been telling people that Joe Biden was dangerous. I told you he was not to be trusted, that he was a serial liar and plagiarist and that he was only interested in his own wealth and power. Too many people didn't believe me. They thought I was exaggerating. But now even "Never Trump" flagships like National Review are questioning the historic policy missteps of Joe Biden in light of the epic level catastrophe of the Afghanistan withdrawal that shunned procedures already laid in place. I have no doubt this was done in order to provide what Biden thought would be an easy win in the face of crumbling economic news, rising inflation and a border disaster of his own creation.
It was not. I do not often include entire columns and I will link to this one, but it covers Biden's historic gaffe prone nature and his characteristic disregard for human life as far back as the Saigon baby lift.

...Yet, longtime Biden-watchers knew better. Two sets of critiques of Biden have followed him over the course of his career, and Republicans and conservatives have hardly been the only ones to level them. First were the things people noticed about Biden before 2019. For all his time-serving in Washington, Biden was widely understood to be a lightweight, a fabulist, a plagiarist, an exaggerating braggart, a walking gaffe machine, a purveyor of malarkey who covered his inch-deep grasp of everything with his Irish charm and his ability to talk fast and at length until the listener had long since lost track of the topic. Biden rarely had ideas of his own, and when he did, they were usually the subject of mockery. His capacity for filling airtime at Senate hearings without actually saying anything was legendary. Yet, as Clarence Thomas and others warned, Biden could also be two-faced, reassuring people with promises in private and breaking them in public..."

"...It wasn’t just the bin Laden raid. Biden was also known for being wrong on just about every significant foreign-policy issue in Washington for half a century, from the Cold War to the War on Terror. In 1973-75, after the United States had signed the Paris Peace Accords that were supposed to end the Vietnam War without the collapse of South Vietnam, Biden was a loud voice in the Senate for cutting off any further U.S. assistance to prevent the North from overrunning the South. He didn’t care about America’s moral obligations:
“I may be the most immoral son of a gun in this room,” Biden said at a Democratic caucus in early 1975 as he argued against aid to Cambodia. . . . “I’m getting sick and tired of hearing about morality, our moral obligation. There’s a point where you are incapable of meeting moral obligations that exist worldwide.”
He didn’t care what happened to the people we abandoned, either:
“I do not believe the United States has an obligation, moral or otherwise, to evacuate foreign nationals. . . . The United States has no obligation to evacuate one, or 100,001, South Vietnamese.”
