Kamala says U.S. must 'put ourselves out there' to help divert Russian war following meeting with Ukrainian President Zelensky in Germany and VP admits there will be 'some costs' associated with involvement and says diplomatic path is 'narrowing' [barf]

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.

'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.'

She shares Resident Biden's affinity for doing everything possible to make economic challenges worse.

Sure Kamala, why don’t you chain yourself to the border area as an example to the rest of us!

Most of what is now Ukraine was Russian territory up until the first quarter of the twentieth century. We will be well served to keep our nose out of any Russian/Ukraine disputes, cut off the Biden criminal enterprise with Ukraine and dump Slo Joe and the Ho as soon as possible.

Harris/Biden got shut out badly and have mass quantities of diplomatic egg on their faces.

The spinning will reach a crescendo on the Sunday talk shows, more than likely.

What did Harris mean “The US must put themselves out there”....??????

There’s no reason for any US soldier to be in Ukraines war...none at all. Nor should tax payers have to continue to fill Ukraine’s bucket lists every time they run out of funds.

Having watched a good bit of her ‘action’ at this conference, I’d say she acts like she read some ‘script’ for a high school play, and remembers about 75-percent in the performance. If anyone was really hoping for some great delivery and wisdom to be shared....it didn’t work.

At one point, I almost got the impression she was trying to act, and gear her talk/performance like Oprah.

This “pseudo-event” is obviously crafted and reported on every 5 minutes just to give her some very-badly needed.....what?....credibility....? nooooo.....something ....she needs to be associated with SOMETHING on the world stage just to make it look like the Administration of which she is a part is actually a part of ........something......or at least existed in the same time frame as some much-overreported “possible” incidents “might be happening” over there in Ukraine. BOY does she need SOMETHING!
