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.
Biden: It would depend on the circumstances.

And so we're continuing to supply capacity. And, and we've been in consultation with our allies in the region.
