They're over in c/Palestine still blaming Biden for everything that's going wrong.

I'm pretty sure a lot of those people don't even care about Palestine, it's just an excuse to hate the centre-left. As another example, in the UK, the Labour party have been the ones receiving all of the hostility for not being pro-Palestine enough, despite the Conservatives being even less supportive, even when the Conservatives were the ones in power for half of the war.

How many US civilians does he expect to lose in the next decade of retaliatory terrorist attacks on the US?

That’s only to his advantage, more “brown terrorists” to blame.

Why? Do you think he cares?

Ah yes, because overseas occupation is a known cost cutting method...
