and Kabul wouldn't have been this generation's Saigon
Guess what? Biden was in the class of freshman senators elected in 1972 that voted to terminate funding for military assistance to South Vietnam. You see, SV was able to repel a 1974 invasion by the north, but lost a lot of equipment doing it. This assistance would have helped South Vietnam repel the 1975 invasion.
So, in a way, Biden is responsible for both the fall of Saigon and the fall of Kabul. Obama was not kidding when he said to never underestimate Biden's ability to fuck things up.
