Biden predicts ‘NATO will end in the next four years’ if Trump reelected – Washington Examiner

Joe Biden predicted at a Houston fundraiser North Atlantic Treaty Organization will collapse if President Trump wins reelection in November.

"If a Democrat, God forbid, doesn't win the next election, NATO will end in the next four years," the former vice president said Thursday evening in Texas, about NATO, which guarantees mutual military support for the 29 participating countries.

Biden, 78, later boasted about his relationships with foreign governments, claiming that he has "met every single world leader in the last 45 years."

"I have more world leaders contacting me since we got out of office than you can imagine," he said.

Biden also fretted about Trump's decision to kill Iranian Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani earlier this month, saying the two nations are now at risk of a full-blown conflict.

"We're at the brink of a war with Iran. I've said this before. What worries me most about Trump is, the more the walls close in on him, the more erratic he's going to become," he said. "And I predicted it. ... Folks, we got to turn this around quickly. He still has another nine or 10 months, God knows what can happen."

Biden has made restoring America's alliances a cornerstone of his third White House run, attacking the president over what he calls reckless foreign policy decisions that stir global instability.

"I truly believe that there will be no NATO. Our alliances will be completely fractured," Biden said at a fundraiser in November. "They're already being hurt."

Before Trump won his first term in November 2016, Biden claimed as vice president that he had to " reassure" NATO countries that the future president's rhetoric should not be taken seriously. Biden said that the leaders of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania asked him to address the citizens of their country and say the United States would support them in a war with Russia.

"Either he is actually devoid of any intellectual content when he's saying this, or he's completely dangerous," Biden said at the time.
