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.

We are told Russia used cluster bombs.

That seems to be one of many propaganda lies we have been fed.

The truth seems to be closer to Russia wants to keep control of the Donbask region and has a vested in interest in not destroying or polluting the territory they want of keep.

Cluster munitions can take decades of expensive remediation to clear and Russia rationally does not seem to want to have to go to the trouble and expense of cleaning up after the war.

Now that cluster munitions are being used against them, the Russians will probably respond in kind.

Biden claims our cluster bombs are are high reliability, socially responsible cluster bombs. Even if you believe that Biden garbage, the Russians make no such claims. They will no doubt respond to our use of cluster munitions by clearing out their oldest inventory of their most politically incorrect cluster munitions and use them on what will be post conflict Ukrainian territory

These are the same Russian cluster bombs that created a whole generation of leg and armless children across the globe who were the lucky ones because they survived the encounter with an unexploded cluster bomblet.

Welcome to another Biden cluster bomb fiasco which will sonn be added to the long list of Biden f**ks which the world will paying for long after Biden is gone.

I had no idea so much damage could be done so quickly by one man.

I had friends who voted for Biden on the rational that we simply had to get rid of Trump and sure, Biden was a moron under the best of circumstances and he was growing senile.

But how much damage could he do in 4 years and there were goig to be good, smart Democrat people in the White House to run things and make sure Biden did not screw up too badly ?

This was literally their justification for supporting and voting for Biden.

Turns out, Biden can do a lot of damage.

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