Well he'd better act quick before this eedjit takes control.

Joe Biden has been mocked for backing Ursula von der Leyen as the new NATO chief.

Former Armed Forces Minister and Tory MP Mark Francois described the EU Commission president as "an absolute disaster", claiming she has a "hapless" record from her time as Germany's defence minister.

Ms Von der Leyen is said to be the US President's first-choice candidate.

He is reportedly pushing for Ms Von der Leyen to take over as the head of NATO, just weeks after Ben Wallace's candidacy for the job was blocked by the White House.

He will now lead NATO until the autumn of 2024.

Mr Francois told the Daily Express: "VDL, as she is widely known, would be an absolute disaster as NATO Sec Gen; you only have to look at her record as Germany's hapless Defence Minister to see that."

He added: "Vladimir Putin must be laughing his head off at the thought."

Yesterday, NATO allies agreed a one-year extension for Jens Stoltenberg, who has served as secretary general of the alliance since October 2014.
