WASHINGTON, Jan 13 (Reuters) - Outgoing President Joe Biden sought to burnish his foreign policy record on Monday and said U.S. adversaries are weaker than when he took office four years ago despite global crises that remain unresolved.

A week before handing over to President-elect Donald Trump, Biden in a rare State Department speech touted his administration's backing for Ukraine against Russia's 2022 invasion and for Israel's wars in the Middle East.

Biden said the United States was "winning the worldwide competition" and would not be surpassed economically by China as had been predicted, while Russia and Iran have been weakened by wars without direct U.S. involvement.

"Compared to four years ago, America is stronger, our alliances are stronger, our adversaries and competitors are weaker," Biden said. "We have not gone to war to make these things happen."

Biden, you absolute wilted parsnip, you just helped hand the country to the fascists. Fuck all the way off.

Nobody fucking cares about trying to circle jerk your legacy - which, to once again be crystal clear, is headlined by “being so goddamn out of touch that the fascists won the election”.

"Wilted Parsnip" does describe him surprisingly well.
