I would disagree, though I can see why you would argue that. Here's why.
You may point the utter failures of the coup attempts in Venezuela, and say they failed solely because Trump is incompetent. This disregards the fact that attempts at regime change during the Obama years were also unsuccessful. It also smacks of great man theory- instead we ought to be looking at why Venezuela is so resilient to regime change. Also, there was a successful coup in Bolivia, so I will not accept that Trump's incompetence is too much of an impediment on the CIA regime change capability.
Trump has claimed he was going to leave the middle east, but that has not come to pass. Drone strikes are continuing unabated across the region, we're still in Afghanistan, and despite what libs will say, Trump bombed Syria, just like Obama before him. I don't see any real change from Biden on this front.
Trump is also terrible on cuba, which was perhaps one of the very few good things Obama did.
And this is not even mentioning climate change, which affects all the nations of the world but especially those in the global south. Biden will do very little to slow it, but at least he will not actively tear up existing environmental protections.

It's also utterly implausible that the CIA came to Trump with some workable plan for regime change and Trump said "nah let's just get some of those Black Rifle Coffee guys and send them in on speedboats!" What's the actual theory for how Trump personally fucked that one up?

Tldr, Biden is appalling, but so is Trump

Yeah, fair point, especially on dprkh.
