BREAKING: Ukraine Launches US-Supplied Cluster Bomb Attacks on Russian Forces – Weapons that are Banned in 120 Countries that Were Condemned Last Year by the Same Biden Regime

Ukrainian forces began firing US-provided cluster bombs on Russian forces in southeastern Ukraine.

Using cluster bombs in battle is a war crime.

Joe Biden continues to destroy America’s reputation in the world.

The Washington Post reported.

Ukraine has begun firing U.S.-provided cluster munitions against Russian forces in southeastern Ukraine in a push to break up well-fortified Russian positions that have slowed Ukraine’s summer offensive, according to Ukrainian officials familiar with the matter.… pic.twitter.com/Q9oYqfQzTr

The Biden administration decided two weeks ago to send thousands of cluster bombs to Ukraine despite these bombs being banned in 120 countries.

A year ago then White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Russia’s alleged use of cluster bombs was a war crime.

It’s like Joe Biden and his handlers are doing their best to destroy America’s reputation in the world today and make us the bad guys.

Actually they are fired. US munitions are fired from any 155mm or HIMARS artillery system.

Wiki
... approved DPICM cluster munitions to Ukraine ... The weapon system could be used in both HIMARS and 155mm shell projectiles.

As the Ukrainians use up the cluster bombs the US will soon have to send US replacements for Ukrainians killed.

Volunteers only! “I need volunteers! YOU and YOU and YOU will volunteer for this duty! IS THAT CLEAR!”

And Biden’s men said “SIR, YES SIR!” Trannies excused from such duty!

Russia attacked Ukraine with cluster bombs. It’s tit for tat. Plus, emptying our stockpiles of cluster bombs by sending them to Ukraine is essentially for free, since we otherwise can’t use them.

We have nuclear weapons too, should we also use them? Asking for a friend.

This will provide Russia with a reason to go after more targets. Syria is a great example of what Russia will soon do in the Ukraine.

The poor Ukrainian civilians will suffer more than anyone else. Ask the Syrians.

I spent 10 years in the Middle East and witnessed first-hand the results of using Cluster bombs. Innocent people suffer the most.

Only people in the West believe the Ukrainians are winning. The people of the US are not winning. Look at our economy. Look at the crime rate. Look at our schools. The focus of our leaders is helping ours instead of our own people.

Look at Europe. France is burning. England is a sh*thole. But their governments are sending aid and are focused on the Ukrainians.

What if Russia or China deployed troops to Mexico? Would the US be concerned?

I’m in complete agreement with you.

For some reason, your last two questions would be called anti American by Neocons. I don’t get it.

How many times do you have to be told that Russia has been using Cluster Bombs since the first days they started this war?

These threads get exhausting as informed members have to keep educating others over and over,

For example, this article’s author thinks that using Cluster Bombs is a war crime and the question is why didn’t he at least look into that before writing his article and even if he won’t do research, how is it that he has missed the thousands of times that gets corrected?

“”””Can you just imagine if Trump had done this?””””

“The Defense Department had been due by 2019 to stop use of any cluster munitions with a rate of unexploded ordnance greater than 1%. But the Trump administration rolled back that policy, allowing commanders to approve use of such munitions.”

“Cluster munitions can take decades of expensive remediation to clear...”

Some modern munitions are designed to self-destruct after a certain/variable length of time. Anybody know if that’s the case with these gizmos?
