It’s crazy. For a man supposedly so concerned with legacy, he is absolutely shattering his, in the eyes of the younger generations. His Wikipedia page is going to have a whole fucking subsection dedicated to his enablement of the Palestinian Genocide, and how he was pivotal player in what as I see as the start of the next major conflict in the Middle East.
It’s absolutely jaw-dropping how completely wrong-headed he is on this matter. It’s a shocking contrast to how deftly he was able to pull the geopolitical levers to get the world to line up behind Ukraine against Russia. Simultaneously, his pussy-footing on the follow-through there is deeply dismaying. And, of course, his effective grant of carte blanche military impunity to Bibi with regards to Palestine and Israel’s neighbors. It’s fucking embarrassing that our UN ambassador is halting any effective action or sanctions against Israel actively conducting this genocide.
As much as I appreciate large swaths of what he and Obama did with their administrations in a domestic sense, on balance, I think it’s fair to say that their overall global geopolitical performance has been more than a bit lacking.
