Oh I'm not missing anything, it's not exactly news that the US government often does one thing and says another when it comes to things our allies do or want. I'm just pointing out that the VP has very little actual power. Your original comment seems to assume the VP actually has power to do things directly, which is simply not true, especially with anything involving the budget and the military.
