Harris on Ukraine: World at ‘a decisive moment in history’

MUNICH (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris warned Russia on Saturday that it will face “unprecedented” financial penalties if it invades Ukraine and predicted that such an attack would draw European allies closer to the United States. The world is at “a decisive moment in history,” she told Ukraine’s president, who said he just wants peace for his nation.

Harris spoke at the annual Munich Security Conference the day after President Joe Biden said he was “convinced” that Russia’s Vladimir Putin has made the decision to invade neighboring Ukraine.

“Let me be clear, I can say with absolute certainty: If Russia further invades Ukraine, the United States, together with our allies and partners, will impose significant, and unprecedented economic costs,” Harris said.

Harris noted in her remarks that “not since the end of the Cold War” has the Munich conference “convened under such dire circumstances.”

Sounds like they negotiated Putin’s payoff for letting himself be dragged into this Deep State false flag dog-wagging: he’ll pay a nominal economic cost, but get more control over a Russian-based chunk of Ukraine.

Everyone will declare victory for local consumption.

Has MSNBC yet declared hers a historic speech, that schoolchildren will be studying for the next 100 years?

Kamala can save the world by doing what she does best, kneepad diplomacy.

I don't think Putin is interested in cackling Kamala.

This is who he wakes up next to every morning.

What are the severe costs she speaks of? Obviously Russia cares not.

Why is the distance from Kyiv to Moscow of significance? It's less than 500 miles from the Canadian border to Washington, DC, and nobody in Washington is afraid of an attack from Canada. When has Ukraine shown any desire to attack Russia?

The map seems to be of Russian origin--it shows Crimea as part of Russia (not something internationally recognized).

Did your education surpass that of Jethro Bodine’s? It seems not.

Am I supposed to know who Jethro Bodine is or was? Crimea was part of Ukraine from 1954 until Putin annexed it—I don’t recall hearing of other countries recognizing the annexation. If any did it was just to curry favor with Putin.

Thanks for again demonstrating your utter historical ignorance.

Actually, Jethro was a LOT smarter than Rufus.

I don’t think you could add 2+2 with mud, painting with your fingers.
