Kamala Harris told reporters Sunday that the U.S. may face 'some costs' associated with involvement in Europe should Russia invade Ukraine, which she claims is all but certain.
When asked before departing Germany for the U.S. if Americans should be braced for economic fallout from involvement, the vice president said 'sure.'
'When America stands for principles, and all of the things that we hold dear, it requires sometimes for us to put ourselves out there in a way that maybe we will incur some cost,' Harris told a group of seven reporters in Munich on Sunday. 'And in this situation, that may relate to energy costs, for example.'
'But we are taking very specific and appropriate, I believe, steps to mitigate what that cost might be if it happens,' she added.
Harris also repeated President Joe Biden's claim that Russian President Vladimir Putin has already made up his mind that he will invade Ukraine and admitted the path for diplomacy is 'narrowing'.
'We believe he has made his decision. Period,' she said when asked if there was any evidence to point to impending invasion.
Harris publicly warned Putin in a Saturday speech at the Munich Security Conference of the 'swift and severe' consequences he will face if he escalates tensions in Eastern Europe, but reiterated on Sunday that sanctions will not be imposed until the point of invasion.

Protect your own border before protecting others.
She’s a complete idiot. I’ve read pretty extensively about Ukraine and I still barely understand all the things in play.
Get ready for the Mother of all Sedition Acts, if this happens, they’ll probably arrest Trump first thing after it passes.
Montel and Willie say she really puts out.
BTTT
Kamala: Okay, who do I have to b**w to stop a war around here?
She’s just for show and to add more insult to Putin
In the hopes it might provoke the war to break out.
We were a an energy net-exporter, when these a-holes took over. Now, we’ve got to bear the pain by putting ourselves out there?
Kammie the affirmative action fake VP...go back to Compton, where your talents are appreciated. We don’t need your kind.
Rumor has it she packed her knee pads.
Historically, her only weapon is kneepads. Putin and any Russian man has much better alternatives.
“’When America stands for principles, and all of the things that we hold dear, it requires sometimes for us to put ourselves out there in a way that maybe we will incur some cost,’ “
Unless it’s China.
That said, “PRINCIPALS” is a stupid criteria for international policy.
It should, indeed MUST, be based on interests alone.
“I’ve read pretty extensively about Ukraine and I still barely understand all the things in play.”
Me too. Can argue either way in who “owns” Crimea. Can also appreciate how this looks from the Russian side.
Still have not figured out when Ukraine went from geographic area to a country
Does face some loss include our US soldiers?
So we’re going to involve ourselves by... allowing energy prices to go up? What is that dust mop saying? They will go up whether we do anything or not.
No Kamilla, you put yourself out there. We are not giving our children to you to slaughter.
Russia invading Ukraine does not alter the Electoral College map.
