Vice President Harris slammed former President Trump during their debate Tuesday night, saying that Russian President Vladimir Putin would have taken Kyiv if Trump was currently in office, and would "eat you for lunch" if Trump returned to the White House.
Harris said at the debate, hosted by ABC News in Philadelphia, Pa., that if Trump were president, Putin would take Ukraine and threaten Poland next.
"Why don't you tell the 800,000 Polish Americans right here in Pennsylvania how quickly you would give up for the sake of favor and what you think is a friendship with what is known to be a dictator, who would eat you for lunch," she said.
Harris also hit Trump for his friendly relations with other dictators and autocrats.
"The alliances we have around the world are dependent on our ability to look out for our friends and not favor our enemies because you adore strongmen instead of caring about democracy," she said. "And that is very much what is at stake here.
"The president of the United States is commander in chief and the American people have a right to rely on an American president who understands the significance of America's role and responsibility in terms of ensuring there is stability and ensuring we stand up for our principles and not sell them for the benefit of personal flattery," she added.
Trump and Harris sparred over the Ukraine war during the debate. Trump repeated his claim that he would end the war before he gets into office. He repeatedly declined to say whether he wanted Ukraine to win the war.
"I want to get the war settled," he said, claiming both Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky respect him. "That is a war that is dying to be settled, I will get it settled even before I become president."
Harris said Trump would just "give it up," referring to Ukraine, to end the war.
"And that's not who we are as Americans," she said. "If Donald Trump were president, Putin would be sitting in Kyiv right now."
Trump argued the world is "blowing up" under the Biden administration, and he accused Harris and President Biden of failing to negotiate with Russia before Moscow invaded Ukraine in 2022, and not talking to Putin over the past two years to seek an end to the war.
"Everything they said was weak and stupid, they said the wrong things," he said. "That war should have never started."

Kamala Harris delivers a lot of innuendo, allegations, and accusations but never seems to get around to telling us what she'd do.
Harris will make Biden look like John Birch.
When I read the title, I thought for sure this was going to be satire.
How sad it isn't.
Have to admit that with this, she'd be wrong.[✘]
Tsk. Tsk.
It was still funny, truthful, and worth it.
It probably was but to the corner with you. Put the NT dunce cap on
Nope, standing tall and proud with it out in front of me. Like I said, worth it!!!
And there’s your sign …..
True, it's more likely that Trump would be serving Putin his lunch, possibly on all fours with the silver lunch tray on his back. [✘] which is why Putin worked so hard getting him elected in 2016 and continues to try and manipulate our elections to weaken our nation and exact his revenge for the US plunging Russia into a recession after the iron curtain fell. To Putin, Kim Jong Un and Orban, Trump is a joke and weakens our nations defense and standing around the world which is why they want him to win the election so badly.

Trump holsters Putin's male chickens... it was a fowl joke...
Uh huh, guess Sandy got it.
Have you ever heard "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer"?
My favorite is this:
Someone might want to point out to the VP that Putin invaded while the Biden/Harris Administration was in office. Perhaps she wasn't in the room that day. She is merely speculating what may happen, and her speculation doesn't appear to be based on facts.
