Condi Rice turns tables on Fox News host: NATO 'unites' under Biden the way Trump never could
"We have to make sure that [Putin] really understands that the cost would be extraordinary to try to cross an Article 5 line," Rice replied. "An attack upon one is an attack upon all. And so the Baltic states are indeed protected under that guarantee by the United States of America."

"So what we're doing in reinforcing NATO forces in the Baltics and in Poland -- NATO's eastern flank, if you will -- this is the way to make sure that he knows the costs would be very high," the former secretary of state remarked.
Rice suggested that Biden has been able to "unite" NATO to push back against Putin's alleged war crimes to a degree that former presidents could not.
"It is certainly against every principle of international law and international order, and that's why throwing the book at them now in terms of economic sanctions and punishments is also a part of it," she said. "And I think the world is there. Certainly, NATO is there. He's managed to unite NATO in ways I didn't think I would ever see again after the end of the Cold War."

She's right, because Biden did in fact get our reputation back and our allies back. It wasn't just "in ways the former president couldn't", it's that the opposite was the goal of TFG. He worked to destroy those things.

10. TFG managed to "unite" all NATO allies to dismiss and ignore him.
Not the kind of uniting anyone wants but he did unite them LOL

23. And why was Biden able to unite them? Because he is a genuinely thoughtful, compassionate leader who
cares about doing the right thing for the citizens of his own nation and also for the citizens of all democratic nations. Joe is the real deal, not whatever that soulless mess with a bleeding, rotting abscess where his heart should be who formally squatted in the Oval Office was.
Love you, Joe Biden!
To their tiny credit, a couple question the claim:

25. She implicitly says that when she speaks of Presidents since the cold war
GHWB is arguably the last cold War president, so she is speaking of Clinton, GWB, Obama and Trump. It is possible that she is speaking of Patons actions.
She was definitely talking about Putin.
The idiots at Raw Story are eating up the BS, too.
