Joe Biden on Trump's words

He did not hold himself from frank and powerful condemnation. The president in office has said that Trump effectively invited Vladimir Putin to invade NATO allies. Biden was not hiding his emotions:
Can you imagine?! A former president of the United States saying that?
His hands were opened as the sign of feeling of absurd and shock.
The whole world heard it... The worst thing is he means it.
Joe Biden explained that, in his view, America is the most trustful country in the world and keeps its promises no matter what. He also added that 'bowing down' to the Russian dictator is not the way America should behave, and any other president or former president of the United States has never done it. Later, he made remarks about Donald Trump's not understanding the whole idea of the NATO alliance and the idea of protecting its values like freedom and sovereignty.
Because for Trump, principles never matter. Everything is transactional.
