Vice President Kamala Harris publicly warned Vladimir Putin of the 'swift and severe' consequences he will face if Russia further invades Ukraine and branded him a 'lying propagandist' after a car bomb destroyed a pipeline forcing the evacuation of 700,000.
In a speech early Saturday at the Munich Security Conference, Harris said the United States and its allies were prepared to impose significant and unprecedented economic costs on Russia if it further invades Ukraine, Reuters reported.
'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 at the annual conference of the world's top national security officials.

WNU Editor: This photo-op of US Vice-President Harris and Ukraine President Zelensky together reminds me of the last photo-op between President Biden and Afghan President Ghani in the Oval Office 6 weeks before the fall of Kabul. I hope I am wrong, but my gut is telling me that the Biden administration has already written Zelensky off and they are now getting ready to a post-Russian invasion and occupation of Ukraine..

Putin holds the high cards.
He has a modernizing military, Germany does not.
Putin has the oil and gas, Germany does not.
NATO isn’t United.
Putin can do want he wants.
The Ubited States has nukes and stands ready and willing to use them to protect their interests in Ukraine. Barring this Russia does indeed have the "high cards." Russia has them too. Will they use them here? Probably not.
Our leadership class has won this round!! Do our nukes actually work? Let's hope and pray former president Trump successfully upgraded our arsenal as he said he did!!
Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances signed in 1994 means that the US station troops if needed to deter Russian invasion or go to war
It does not mean that we will have unprecedented sanctions, which of they are like the Iranians ones a Democrat president will relent after 2 to 4 years and gradually roll back.
"Unprecedented sanctions" is the same gobbledy gook of the nature of Ned Price's "We are working all the levers. It is non, specific pablum to fill air time but not say Gawd damn thing.
Politicians are always working hard to fix problems they didn't give a shit about before they became problems, usually as a result of their own incompetence. O brave, hard-working politicians! Lead us to victory!
I have it on good authority that Kamala is willing to do whatever it takes to satisfy the Ukraine President, even going so far as to personally meat Putin on her knees to manipulate the situation to a climax.
