I pick Genocide forever war Joe. There's no war he didn't put 2 feet into (our young men and woman, not his). He could have avoided the current wars in Somalia, Ukraine, Isreal, and Yemen _ Can I add Syria, Iraqi, Jordan Too_ to name a few, excluding previous wars elsewhere around the globe.

Yours is the only answer here so far I like, but my nomination is for Brett McGurk.

https://www.commondreams.org/news/brett-mcgurk-resignation A group of progressive lawmakers in the U.S. House is reportedly planning to ask President Joe Biden to seek the resignation of White House Middle East adviser Brett McGurk....McGurk "has laid out his vision in a top-secret document shared in some circles of the Washington national security establishment—a plan that envisions Biden traveling to the region in the coming months on 'a victory tour' to claim credit for an Israel-Saudi deal as an answer to Gaza's pain."

Interviewed for a 2022 HuffPost profile, one former U.S. official said that colleagues inside the government viewed McGurk as “the most talented bureaucrat they’ve ever seen, with the worst foreign policy judgment they’ve ever seen.”

Genocide Joe is the obvious and mainly only answer. He's the only person who's been around long enough and who's been involved in every single horrible foreign policy idea of the last 50 years and you can be damn sure he'll live to be 100 too
