Biden's Role in Syria: Navigating Regime Change and ISIS Resurgence

TL;DR Summary
President Joe Biden is attempting to take credit for the fall of the Assad regime in Syria, despite having tried to prevent Israel's actions against Hezbollah, which were pivotal in the regime's collapse. Biden's administration imposed an arms embargo to force a ceasefire, but Israel's prior damage to Hezbollah allowed Turkey to exploit the situation. Biden's claims of contributing to Assad's fall are seen as overstated, as his administration provided sanctions relief to Iran and Hezbollah, undermining his narrative of support for regime change.
