President Biden met with the leaders of the Bucharest Nine countries in Warsaw, Poland, on Wednesday and vowed to defend “literally every inch” of NATO territory, calling Article Five of the alliance’s treaty that outlines mutual defense “sacred.”
“The commitment of the United States to NATO — and I’ve said it to you many times; I’ll say it again — is absolutely clear,” Biden told the leaders of Hungary, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and Bulgaria.
“Article Five is a sacred commitment the United States has made. We will defend literally every inch of NATO — every inch of NATO,” he added.
Since Biden bolstered US forces in Europe around the time Russia invaded Ukraine, there have been over 100,000 US troops stationed in the continent, including thousands in Poland, Romania, and the Baltic states of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia.
Countries in the region have been pushing for the US and other NATO countries to deploy even more troops and military equipment to the countries that border Ukraine or Russia, what they call NATO’s “eastern flank.” Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda said he conveyed this message to Biden during Wednesday’s meeting.
“I have talked about deployment of so-called critical enablers — this includes airspace surveillance systems, attack helicopters, HIMARS artillery,” Nauseda said. “We can hardly afford to purchase this, but it could be deployed to the Baltics on rotational grounds.”
Biden wants those NATO countries to know that America’s militarily protects them and they really don’t want to cross America and expose Biden ordering the Nord Stream pipeline to be destroyed.
“This is your rifle, this is your gun, this is for fighting and this is for fun…”
If NATO needs defending, it will be because NATO has long been an offender.
NATO is falling apart, no alliance can survive the back stabbing which is going on in NATO and the EU already, Norway in bed with Biden destroying the German and continental economy, could you ask for more treason committed on an ally? There is also the possibility of the treasonous German government selling out their own nation.
Who could make that up, it is more than a nightmare. The only sanity is in Russia, China and India and Brics and all.
USA/NATO is in the hands of insane and greedy sh-t-heads.
Ok, boomer … time to retire and let the new generation decide what commitments they want to make for their lives. I’m not sure that my sons are willing to risk nuclear war for the “inches” of eastern Europe where ethnic Russians live and are being abused.
sacred commitment???He would not know what that is if it bit him in his a*s, the same goes for stupid POS Nuland and Blinken, Sullivan, Kagans plural, and, and. and,
If the new generations wants to withdraw from NATO, that they can do. Just elected Senators that will cancel the US involvement in the NATO treaty.
“The Baltic states want more US forces deployed in the region”
does that come out of the pentagon’s budget or will that be an additional charge
Does every inch also include the Nordstream pipelines?
Biden Vows to Defend ‘Literally Every Inch’ of NATO
That was Zelenski’s plan for Ukraine… How’d that work out for him?
What a jackass. Embarrassing.
The jokes on Joe Biden, Europe uses the metric system not imperial. Not to mention shortsighted about the immediate Russian goals.
Europe is minutes away from Russian missiles.
And vise versa.
“I have talked about deployment of so-called critical enablers — this includes airspace surveillance systems, attack helicopters, HIMARS artillery,” Nauseda said. “We can hardly afford to purchase this, but it could be deployed to the Baltics on rotational grounds.”
Biden’s dumb a$$ promises emboldens pissants like this. I’m sure Americans are willing to send their children to die for the likes of Lithuania or Latvia or Estonia or,….
What in the hell is this latest fad with the numbers?
Maybe first he should honor the “not one inch beyond a unified Germany” promises.
Bingo!
Biden and honor, have you lost your marbles?
Did Biden make that promise? But more importantly did the Senate approve a treaty that made it a commitment of the United States?
First they spy on Germany’s Merkel and other so-called allied leaders with phone treachery, then destroy her Pipeline. It does lend credence to Scott Ritter’s assertion that our espionage on allies and their leaders, has resulted in blackmail material on most of them. That, along with the pay-offs, makes sense as to why Germany, for example, is strangely silent about the US’s aggression against them, by blowing up their billion dollar pipeline, which insured cheap (by comparison to now) energy to not only Germany, but to neighboring countries of Germany. Plus, we still have lots of occupation forces in Germany, after over 75 years since the end of WWII. Getting rid of uncooperative “allied” leaders would be no problem. After all we got away with an uncooperative US President in 1963.
That, in 1963, was a warning to future Presidents; DO NOT CROSS THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX, OR THE CIA.
Nutty Nausea wants more toys.
I doubt the US would fire on Russia if they thought the war could be confined to Europe.
Kissinger even pretty much admited this was the unspoken policy during the cold war.
The US would defend Europe if it was attacked by Russia.
In Poland, Biden Farts
They have all gone bonkers. They can not be all that crazy, it looks more like they all are in bed together chopping up the globe and dividing up the pieces with each other.
This must be a bad dream, there is no better explanation.
