    False. Joe hasn't, but several senior figures in his administration have.

    Then your answer should be True.

    Read the question again. Joe Biden has not politicised the situation, but an administration is not an individual (unless it's a personality cult like 45's was), it's a team. Some members of that team have attempted to make some political mileage out of it (and Erik Prince is profiteering from it).

    Fair if you are trying to single Joe out of his own adminstration. But I view Biden himself as a part of his adminstration. 

    He blamed Trump today...sounds politcal to me. This post was edited by my2cents at August 27, 2021 7:32 PM MDT

      That only counts or applies if and when one is referring to the Donald Trump administration. Any and all hatred or negativity aimed there can rest squarely on Trump’s lap and/or other persons who were a part of it, while Biden apologists seek any and every opportunity to protect him.

    I heard, and still hear, many Trump apologists do similar things to protect Trump.

    (This is similar to a post I had recently posted and then deleted. Inspired by another question, I thought to put my answer back. I'm telling myself it's okay for me to post my thoughts on politics at times, even though I'm uncomfortable most of the time in that arena.)

      When President Biden guided the conversation of the press conference today to former President Trump’s actions of February 2020 as being part of the catalyst for “shared responsibility”, how was that not politicizing the issue? Biden himself spoke his own words, even if those words were penned by speechwriters or advisors.

    He laid most of the blame at the feet of the Afghan leaders, President Ghaani and his sidekick Abdullah. He was indeed hamstrung by 45's pledge to withdraw all US forces by May 1 (he did manage to delay that), and quoted Trump's boast from June word for word. That's not politicising, that simply stating facts.

    As if Biden has not been undoing Trump's agreements and orders from day 1.   There were requirements to be met. Taliban did not met them but Biden continued the agreement.  He is a coward.   Who should gotten our people and equipment out before the troops...that is all on Biden.
