He is wrong. He was President for four years and did not end the Afghan war (although it seemed he was going to).

Also, the narcissism of saying he is the only one is pitifully embarrassing.

Ending the Ukraine war is easy; he'll just give away parts of Ukraine to Russia and tell the Ukrainians "Tough shite." But ending the was in the Middle East is another matter. He can try to end it as the Democrats are determined to, by forcing the Israelis to accept the status quo ante, with Hamas alive, well, and working toward the next terror attack on Israel. Under what other terms could he end it?

And I don't think he can end it that way. I think it will not end until the Israelis have extirpated Hamas. He could cut off US military assistance to Israel, but Israel is not Ukraine. They have planned for this contingency, and they will simply keep fighting.
