Biden has been wrong on almost every choice he has made regarding foreign policy.
Kill Bin Laden? Joe votes "No".
Invade Iraq? Joe votes "Yes". In 2003, “I voted to go into Iraq, and I’d vote to do it again."
Divide Iraq into 3 separate states? Joe's big idea.
Opposed Reagan's SDI, which helped bring down the Soviet Union.
Biden claimed he had atoned for his
Iraq War vote by spearheading Obama's 2011-2012 withdrawal from Iraq. But that withdrawal was a disaster, and it led to the rise of the Islamic State.
In his 2014 memoir,
Duty, former Defense Secretary Robert Gates famously shared his view that Biden, then the vice president and previously chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, had been wrong about “nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.”
Kill Soleimani? Joe said it was a "dangerously incompetent" to have done so.
Gates also points to Biden as a chief advocate of the Obama administration’s controversial dependence upon drone strikes and Special Forces raids as a substitute for a broader counterterrorism policy. This is controversial as a question of human rights, given that American citizens were targeted without trial and many civilians were killed. It also raises doubts about Biden’s sincerity in condemning the strike on Soleimani. Where were these humanitarian instincts during the Obama administration?
And then, of course, there is the Iran nuclear deal. Biden defends the Obama administration’s nuclear deal with Iran.

Won't even touch domestic policy except to mention Mr. "I'm So Proud Of My Crime Bill" and the effect it had on miniorities.
