If the buck truly stops with Biden, he’d resign

How different nationalities respond to screw-ups. The British resign in disgrace. But Americans spin it to pad their resume’s. It’s already started.
Our leadership and advisers already are sharpening their pens, boasting about how many refugees they got out of Afghanistan. Never mind the thousands left behind and enough weapons to arm an army. Never mind that Biden and his advisers created the problem in the first place. Kind of like starting a fire and getting a reward for putting it out.
Biden says, “the buck stops with him.” But he blames his advisers and President Donald Trump. Biden owns this debacle and needs to fire his inept advisers and military leadership. “The buck stops with him” is meaningless unless he owns it and then resigns.
A talking head said these brave servicemen and women gave their lives for this mission. Wrong! They had their lives taken by Biden’s inane decisions and leadership.
Biden’s crew are all polishing their resume’s and awaiting their commendations. They should be ashamed.
