We were told that Russia had been using cluster bombs themselves.

Last time I checked cluster munitions can go in both directions, if Ukraine is firing them at Russians, the Russians will very quickly start firing them back at the Ukrainians, if they haven’t already started.

Can you just imagine if Trump had done this?

He would have been charged as a war criminal in two shakes of a lamb's tail.

Cue up the larger thermobaric weapons in response.

It’s only a War Crime when the Neocons say it is a War Crime.

So nothing important here.

The neocons, globalists and DemocRATS were not seeing enough death in Ukraine to satisfy their blood lust so they’ve upped the stakes. They no doubt are having wet dreams hearing about the implementation of this latest escalation in lethality,

As Biden would say, “Com’on man, Gott mit uns”.
Or something as equally ridiculous.

I wish that Jim Hoft was a reliable source of accurate information, but unfortunately he is not.

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

And yet not banned by Russia or the US, or even Ukraine.

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

This is a misrepresentation achieved by dropping specific context:

Q Thanks, Jen. There are reports of illegal cluster bombs and vacuum bombs being used by the Russians. If that’s true, what is the next step of this administration? And is there a red line for how much violence will be tolerated against civilians in this manner that’s illegal and potentially a war crime?

MS. PSAKI: It is — it would be. I don’t have any confirmation of that. We have seen the reports. If that were true, it would potentially be a war crime.

If what were true? Violence against civilians. Dumping cluster bombs on civilians may get the approval of Haluga Khan, but it’s not an acceptable form of warfare in the 21st century.

Russia has been using cluster bombs and cluster incendiary munitions since the start of their brutal invasion of Ukraine including attacks on the Ukrainian city of Kharkive.

Using them on civilian areas is considered to be the war crime and using them against enemy troops is NOT considered to be a war crime. And only by those countries who have signed off.

The USA, Ukraine, and Russia have not signed off this document.

Using cluster bombs in battle is a war crime.

Only if you lose the war.

They are very effective at clearing those artillery-sown mine fields that the Russians like to use. And how are those mine fields any different than cluster bombs?

Both munitions leave large numbers of unexploded ordinance in a field which can take decades to clear. What a mess.

Ukraine using US made cluster munitions on the frontline is “controversial”, but Russia using their own cluster munitions on civilians ... crickets.

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.
