Biden did not waste time, his experience, familiarity with world leaders and negotiating skills helped get the west in order. Putin was convince that he did not have enough time and called a bluff.
Another thing is that Biden relies on experts.
I honestly would be more concerned with inexperienced person like Newsom during this time. He might eventually do fine, but the time to get up to speed might be long.
