There are lots of mostly bad things that President Joe Biden can justly take credit for, but the fall of Syria is not one of them. The only real reason this happened is because Israel threw off the shackles and decided to go after Hezbollah after a year of terror. And Biden did everything to prevent that.
At the very end, he used an arms embargo to force Israel into a fake "ceasefire" with Hezbollah. But by then Israel had done enough damage to Hezbollah that Turkey's Jihadists were able to just roll into Syria, and Iran decided to sell them out and pull back.
But now Biden is trying to take credit.
Biden delivered a mumbling teleprompter speech that looked like an Arab Spring leftover, calling it "a moment of historic opportunity for the long-suffering people of Syria to build a better future for their proud country," and promised that "the United States will work with our partners and the stakeholders in Syria to help them seize an opportunity to manage the risk."
