In an exclusive interview, President Joe Biden speaks about his foreign policy views and more. Read the full transcript.

Number two, NATO is considerably stronger than it was when I took office. I put it together. Not only did I reestablish the fact that it was the strongest alliance in the history of the world, I was able to expand it. While I was in one of the G7 meetings in Europe. when I got back I called on the President of Finland because when I had met earlier in the year with Putin, he said he wanted to see the Finlandization of NATO. I told him, he's gonna get not the Finlandization, the Natoization of Finland. And everybody thought, including you guys, thought I was crazy.

And guess what? I did it. I did it. And we're now the strongest nation. We have the strongest alliance in all of America, all of history.

    I have that exact quote here. And they no longer lead the world and the transatlantic alliance has to be reexamined. And the interesting piece of that is you now have his former adviser John Bolton saying, he’s certain that the first thing Trump would do if he got reelected is get out of NATO completely.

    Please. Oh please. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

    I have never wanted anything more than for this to happen. I don't believe it will happen but oh my fucking god it would be so fucking good for us and the entire world.

    LOOOOOOOOOOL look at this fact check bullshit:

    What Biden Said: “The Russian military has been decimated. You don’t write about that. It’s been freaking decimated.”

    The Facts: This is a fair assessment, according to a Reuters report on a declassified U.S. intelligence assessment provided to Congress. The intelligence determined that Russia had 360,000 active military personnel when it invaded Ukraine in February of 2022. By December of last year, 315,000 Russian troops had been either killed or injured in the war—a reduction in troop strength by 87%.

    Absolute fucking bollocks, they are out of their fucking minds. The Russian army does not only have 55,000 troops remaining. You are fucking idiots Time.

    But on that last point, is there a danger that NATO is on a slippery slope to war with Ukraine—with Russia, as things stand?

    Biden: No, we're on a slippery slope for war if we don't do something about Ukraine. It’s just not gonna…anyway…

    This is Biden stopping himself from letting slip that Ukraine is not gonna end well. He thinks the US is gonna be dragged into it. He's all but saying that the situation is not gonna be won without that happening.

      The Russian armed forces are down to 55,000 troops.

      Mongolian horsemen stand at the ready to annex all of Russia. I repeat, Operation Temujin is a go. Send the Mangudai, capture Moscow.
