Would you call these other countries scabs or slice tires.
At this same time Putin commented that Ukraine was one of the most corrupt countries in the world. That is the same time VP Biden threatened withholding billions unless they fired someone.

My commits were about the laughing part Gary. Trump was right in trying to get more funding for NATO. And your right some don't pay their fair share. But Trump criticized the US for even being a member and put it out there we might just leave NATO if he had his way.
Trump privately said a number of times in 2018 that he wanted the U.S. to leave NATO, according to the New York Times.
Remember all the headlines when he hinted that he could leave the defense bloc without Congressional approval before eventually saying that U.S. withdrawal was “unnecessary.”
Many feared NATO could fall apart if the world’s largest economy is no longer a member.
Verses...With Biden Nato is the strongest and most organized it's ever been. And we were the worlds leader when it came to helping other country's with the Pandemic. I would think world wide Biden is a pretty well liked feller.
