WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris will face her highest-stakes foreign policy assignment yet this weekend in Germany, where she will try to keep European allies unified amid growing concern over the threat of a Russian invasion of Ukraine.
She will attend the annual Munich Security Conference as President Joe Biden and other Western leaders warn that the threat of an invasion remains high despite Russian President Vladimir Putin’s statements that he is committed to further talks.
She’s scheduled to deliver a major address Saturday on the administration’s efforts to stop Russian aggression. After the speech, she’s expected to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Harris would “convey to the rest of the world again our ironclad commitment to our NATO allies, our commitment to defending the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine, and our commitment to putting in place severe economic consequences should Russia invade.”

She's more than qualified for a face-to-beltline meeting with Putin.

Certainly she will have “advisors” surrounding her at all times to carry her water.
Please, Lord.

The VP to Putin: “Excuse me. Excuse me. I’m not finished. Would you like to hear my answer?” *smiles condescendingly* “If you don’t mind I’d like to finish my answer.”

I so look forward to Harris stepping off her plane upon her triumphal return and her brandishing a statement she and Putin signed saying that the agreement is "symbolic of the desire of our two peoples never to go to war with one another" and her promise of "peace for our time".

I can’t wait to hear her tell her story how her helicopter came under intense and withering enemy fire when she tried to land near the bombed-out kindergarten classroom.

No serious person takes Harris seriously. Those with any brains, certainly.
For the average American couch potato, however...
"Wow! Thank God for the Vice President!"

Because it really shows our “commitment” to NATO to send this third rate second in command to an allegedly crucial meeting.
