Listening to President Biden at this week’s NATO summit, you’d almost be led to believe it wasn’t former President Donald Trump who strengthened the military alliance by forcing members to contribute 2% of gross domestic product to defense (“‘More determined’ Biden eager to prove presidential fitness despite mounting concerns.,” web, July 9).

As for Ukraine, Mr. Biden has left that country decimated by denying it the offensive weapons and fighter jets it needs to push back Russian columns and stop the Russian decimation of its cities and people. The ability of Ukrainian communists, Russia and China to drop the nickel on Biden family finances in Ukraine, Russia and China should not compromise our ability to arm Ukraine and oppose the genocide of the Ukrainian people.

Ukrainian cities have been laid waste and the death toll among the Ukrainian people is staggering. Thanks go to another no-win, micromanaged American proxy war, waged halfheartedly by an American president as usual.
