image for Biden vows to 'defend literally every inch of NATO' territory: 'Article 5 is a sacred commitment'

The trip is taking place nearly one year to the day after Russia invaded Ukraine, kicking off a war that continues to rage on.

While pointing out the other nations' role in fending off a Russian threat, Biden made it perfectly clear that the U.S. will be there with them if any NATO member is attacked.

"The commitment of the United States to NATO – I’ve said it to you many times, and I’ll say it again, – is absolutely clear.

Article 5 is a sacred commitment the United States has made," Biden said.

Biden said that with Russia continuing its offensive, "what literally is at stake is not just Ukraine, it's freedom.".

We don’t know when the war will end, but when it does, we need to ensure that history does not repeat itself. »

A few months after becoming pregnant, Natalia Harrell sat in a corrections van without air conditioning, according to a recent petition in Florida’s appellate courts.

The allegations are part of a writ of habeas corpus Harrell’s attorney filed last week in Florida’s Third District Court of Appeal.

While habeas corpus filings typically allege that a person is being illegally detained, Harrell’s lawyer has instead argued that it is Harrell’s fetus who is being improperly jailed, as first reported by the Miami Herald. »
