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.”

Be afraid. Be very afraid. She’s as stupid and unpredictable as Joe but without the excuse of dementia.

Another benefit of a hyped-Ukraine crisis I never thought of - Kamala Harris gets to burnish her foreign policy credentials.

Wait for US MSM to start telling us how polished she was, and how much respect she garnered on the world stage. Hell, she may have just saved the world from WWIII

Funny unintentionally humorous article. Does anyone believe she is qualified and a great diplomat? Maybe 15%-——if that.

In the 1972 Dem convention when George McGovern was nominated for President, a comedy album featured his not so far off acceptance:
“I came from South Dakota. Was a farm boy then. In a way I remain a farm boy inside. But I have never stepped into anything like this in my life.

She’s scheduled to deliver a major address Saturday on the administration’s efforts to stop Russian aggression.

So now the vegas betting odds is saying the invasion will start at precisely one minute after her "major" speech Saturday.
