He deserves a few lines or even a few pages in history books, but he was so mediocre as a person and so unremarkable as a politician that it would be difficult for him to leave any kind of a mark in history.
He needed constant doctors' supervision, and all the places where he lived were equipped with medical devices.
He was slowly dying before the eyes of the whole world.
Of course, his painful condition began to reflect on his ability to rule the country. He was forced to often interrupt his duties or shift them to a constantly growing staff of personal assistants. His work day was significantly reduced. Gradually he stopped understanding of what was happening around him.
However, many influential but deeply immoral and corrupt people from his circle were interested in him appearing in public from time to time, at least as a formal head of state. By literally helping him walk, they achieved the worst: his old age, weakness and illness became the subject not so much of the sympathy and pity of his fellow citizens, as of irritation and ridicule, which people expressed more and more openly.
But the point is not only that he will never be remembered as a "great" or "strong" leader. He was, in essence, a boring and incapable bureaucrat who had no big dreams, no interesting ideas and plans, no original style.
Both in character and in intellect, he was a dependent, indecisive and shallow person, whom even his closest associates treated with considerable disdain. They followed him not because they believed in his ideas, but because it was beneficial for them at the moment.
If you are following American politics at all, the passage above should sound like the opinion piece by the New York Times. But it is not.

Leonid Brezhnev ruled as a Soviet dictator from 1977 to 1982. Being a young child growing up in the Soviet Union, I remember only the last years of his life. Even children understood that the country was ruled by a decaying corpse. Brezhnev's ill health and inability to make any meaningful decisions were apparent for everybody to see. Even though he was thoroughly hidden from even the ever complicit Soviet media, he looked ill on the rare occasions when he appeared in public.
Joe Biden's mental decline is becoming apparent to everybody. Forgetting names, not understanding numbers, not knowing members of his own administration, and multiple referrals to his V.P. as "president" are just a few of the examples that a man considered the leader of the free world is cognitively struggling and is not able to govern the country in any meaningful way. His rarely appeared in public during his presidential campaign because of his utter inability to either speak in public or give any coherent answers to the media. After the inauguration, he continues to avoid the press, and he has not given a press briefing for longer than any other U.S. president in 100 years. If that does not worry you, then you are not paying attention.
The Biden we knew is long gone.
The BidAn we now know is just doing as he is told.
Bkmk
Guy turns on the TV and there’s Brezhnev making a speech. He changes the channel, there’s Brezhnev again, and tries again and on the next channel is a KGB officer saying - ‘You’d better stop changing channels’.
Biden would probably do much better with a fifth of vodka under his belt by lunch.
(Setting: 1980 Olympics)
Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev began reading his opening speech.
“O!” - the crowd applauses.
“O!” - another round of applause and cheer comes from the audience.
“O!” - the entire audience body stands up and begins clapping.
A secretary comes to Brezhnev and says, “Dear Leonid Ilyich, these are Olympic logo rings; you don’t need to read all of them!”
Brezhnev was leader for 20 years.
Biden probably will last about as long as Chernenko.
Brezhnev assumed power in 1964. He is most closely associated with the beginning of the decline of The Soviet Union because under his rule corruption flourished.
Gabby Johnson?!?...
And end like Chernobyl...
Ironically Brezhnev, was a fan of Westerns, in fact he was a big fan of the show “The Rifleman”, and he met with Chuck Connors.
“He deserves a few lines or even a few pages in history books, but he was so mediocre as a person and so unremarkable as a politician that it would be difficult for him to leave any kind of a mark in history.”
The foreword to Biden’s biography is already written.
One of the great “What Ifs”, what if Khrushchev was able to hang onto to power. For all of his bluster, he seemed to be a fairly decent guy as far as Soviet leaders go. Would he had invaded Czechoslovakia, like Brezhnev did?
Not to the diehard believers who voted for him. They still think he is capable of running the country.
Joe’s decline is as apparent as it was while he was campaigning. The difference is, they don’t have to hide it as much, he’s in. Now the next question is, was this a coordinated effort and organized plan to scam the American people? What did Kamala know and when did she know it? Was she in on this counterfeit election, knowing she would become President.
Biden is a placeholder. All they care about is that Orange Man isn’t running the country.
Funny but most of the rest of the world boycotted the Olympics because of his invasion of Afghanistan.
The fear was Russia would then punch through to the Arabian Sea and establish a warm water port there.
