Joe Biden spoke at a security conference in Munich.

here is a part of his speech...
We believe international alliances and organizations do not diminish America's power -- we believe they help advance our collective security, economic interests and our values.
So well engage. Well listen. Well consult. America needs the world, just as I believe the world needs America. But we say to our friends that the alliances, treaties and international organizations we build must be credible and they must be effective. That requires a common commitment not only to listen and live by the rules, but to enforce the rules when they are, in fact, clearly violated.
Do you think what I think about the last sentence in the above paragraph?
