VP Biden arrives in Romania, pledges U.S. backing over Ukraine

MAY 20, 2014

BUCHAREST (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President Joe Biden arrived in Bucharest on Tuesday as part of Washington’s campaign to reassure east European allies of American backing in the West’s confrontation with Russia over Ukraine.

A former communist state on the Black Sea, Romania joined NATO a decade ago and the European Union in 2007. It has been among the most vehement advocates of Western sanctions against Moscow after Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine.

“You can count on us, we do what we say,” Biden told a gathering of Romanian and American troops after doffing his brown leather jacket at a military air base near Bucharest, where “capacity-building” exercises are being conducted.

Biden’s White House office had earlier said he would underscore Washington’s “ironclad commitment to the collective defense of NATO under Article 5 and express appreciation for Romania’s contributions to regional and global security”.--SNIP--

Hunter’s life would make a great TV series—Breaking Bad with a politician’s son instead of a high school teacher!

Why do I extort foreign countries?

Because I love it—and I am good at it!

Thanks for posting.

Another Biden crime that the Dems don’t want to have it come to light, when in fact it definitely should be pointed out for all to see.

“Biden’s push to oust the prosecutor may have not been influenced by the probe of the company his son was involved in.”

Lukas, the writer, obviously hold us readers in contempt, and thinks we’re stupid.
