V.P. Harris said in answer to the question of how long the U.S. might have to 'sacrifice'...after expressing the U.S.'s deep sympathy for the suffering in Ukraine and vulnerability of Romania, due to it's very close geographical proximity to the shooting (e.g. "Look at the map") and therefore need for U.S. support, she went on to repeat what President Biden said..." there is a Price to be paid for Democracy"...and "...you have to STAY with your friends...it's difficult...but that's what FRIENDS do...and that's what we're DOING."
Because NO ONE KNOWS how long this crisis will go on, there's no way she can put a timeline on it...all she could do was assure Ukraine...and Romania...that the U.S. would stay with them for as long as it took...no matter the 'difficulty' we here in the U.S. experience (i.e. higher gas prices vs. bombs falling on our houses).
BIG...BIG.. difference from just a clipped version ending with "Just look at the map"...
I Consider it a public service to the board to give others the complete picture...and let them decide what's true and what isn't.
