Too many people are expecting Biden's warmongering to manifest as blatant Bush-style ground invasions. If you keep looking in that direction you'll probably miss his actual warmongering, which will more likely manifest as proxy wars, cold war escalations, coups, sanctions, etc.
Too much of the antiwar movement is still stuck in the early 2000s. The western war machine just doesn't generally kill that way anymore, and we need to adjust our perspectives if we want to address the actual murderousness as it is actually showing up.

Already got someone bringing up Biden invading Syria in response to this thread, and that's exactly the sort of thing I'm talking about. Biden hasn't done anything new in Syria yet, it's just the same old shit. Expect more Trump and Obama, not more Bush.

Neither would I, but the former is far more likely than the latter. Biden's appointees like Blinken and Burns openly favor the new style of warmongering over the old these days.

Dan Cohen did a great segment on this a while back.
