Biden to NATO Allies: 'We Will Respond to Any Aggression'

spond-any-aggression-n56521


"Biden's visit is intended to reassure nations like Poland and the Baltics
that the United States will live up to its NATO pledge to protect allies
under attack. Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland are all members of both
the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization - unlike
Ukraine."

"There has been widespread alarm at Russia's explanation that it annexed
Crimea in order to protect Russian citizens and Russian speakers. Many of
the Baltic nations have a significant number of Russians living within their
borders and historical ties that pre-date the Soviet Union."

Vice President Biden said that if any NATO member countries are threatened, he will load his shotgun, go out on the balcony and fire two warning shots in the air.
