Presidents and politicians can claim responsibility for any achievement they want to. Doesn't mean that they actually have a legitimate claim.

Nobody is mad at india for landing on the moon. Everybody likes that and congratulates the scientists for doing so. However, that doesn't mean that the rest of the world forgives all the problems that india has.

To draw a comparison, Qatar did a great job of hosting the FIFA world cup 2022 (transportation, immigration logistics wise, excluding accommodation). That doesn't mean that everyone forgets about the human rights abuses in those countries.
