Best thing Obama did was pulling out of Iraq, finally leaving an illegal war, so hats off for that. But all his talk about envisioning a world free of nuclear weapons and then not even attempting disarmament of the US ones kinda seems weak.

I think his attempts to reestablish new diplomacy with Cuba and Iran were good.

Then Trump fucked it all up and Biden doesn't seem to give a shit about going back.

Kudos to Obama for actually following through, but the withdrawal from Iraq had a deadline set by the U.S. Status of Forces Agreement signed by Bush, per the request of the Iraqi government.

Putin didn’t want to even talk about a new START and unilateral disarmament is irresponsible.
