Boris Johnson: "Biden has taken a difficult but brave decision to supply cluster munitions to Ukraine. He is right"
Twitter ^ | July 8 | Boris Johnson

Posted on 07/09/2023 6:47:00 AM PDT by RandFan

@BorisJohnson

Joe Biden has taken a difficult but brave decision to supply cluster munitions to Ukraine. He is right. These are terrible weapons. But they have been used by Putin for over a year in his programme of indiscriminate slaughter of an entirely innocent people. The faster we help the Ukrainians to win, the more lives we will save all round. And never forget - it is the Ukrainians who will use these weapons on their own soil, and to protect themselves.

--- "...the difficult but brave decision...." I might not go as far as the radioactive enema but....

"...an entirely innocent people." So does Boris-idiot Johnson assert.

But think of the rhetoric of this. Putting aside the massive sums, pre-war, paid to the princelings of Biden, Pelosi, Kerry and friends of Romney from a very poor nation as measured by per capita income, the notion that a nation is comprised of "entirely innocent people" is a laugh and a half.

It is like saying the US is comprised of "entirely innocent people," when in fact the various flavors of FR conservatives who disagree from time to time will NOT disagree that the Bidens and current Democrat leadership are anything but 'innocent." Crooks, we are most sure. Applying this simple truth to other nations, there is no "entirely innocent people" and especially not entirely innocent politicians. Governments are so often THE problem, and it is governments that go to war.

Joe Biden has taken a difficult but brave decision to supply cluster munitions to Ukraine.

Joe Biden has taken a step to escalate and provoke WWIII, by committing a War Crime to supply cluster munitions to Ukraine.

Why would not such action be interpreted as an Act of War by the Russians?

It appears to be a decision of desperation by a failing administration.

Russia’s are far worse with a 40% failure rate.

Many nations have decided they won’t use cluster bombs but the United States, Isreal, Ukraine, Russia, and others are not among them.

“The Trump administration cancels a plan to curtail the use of cluster bombs
November 30, 2017
“The policy change, which reverses a 2008 decision by the George W. Bush administration”

“The 2008 policy would have banned the use of all cluster munitions that have an unexploded ordnance rate above 1 percent. Going forward, the U.S. military will be allowed to buy cluster bombs that don’t meet that standard, so long as they have “advanced safety features” such as self-destruct mechanisms that would kick in after they are dropped.”

Yes and Ukraine has been using cluster munitions they inherited from the USSR and the ones they got from France, and now they have run out.

Right, as I have posted a number of times, Russia has been using cluster bombs since the beginning of its attack and in huge numbers and committing war crimes with them, and even Ukraine has used cluster bombs.

We know how advanced safety features work they are fail safe fail safe fail safe.........................................

It’s not a matter of who cancels a plan to curtail the use of cluster bombs it’s a matter of who issues them when over a 100 countries out lawed them period.

You can pass the buck from the guilty

This sounds like desperation—Leopard tanks, F-16, weapons are not going to change things. Russia has cluster bombs too—and control of the air to drop them on Kiev. Just rackets up the horror until it goes to Poison Gas, Dirty Bombs, Nukes, and Germ warfare. We are on the verge of WW III—Americans, Brits, Pols and Romanians will be fighting shoulder to shoulder against Russians, Chinese, North Koreans, Iranians, Serbians, Cubans, Brazilians, Syrians, South Africans, etc... Will Germans fight? French? Italians? Spaniards? or sit on the fence? Good news—lots of jobs coming to support the twelve million man American Army! A few nukes will solve our inner city homeless problems.

Something many like to make up often to fit an agenda and it’s not just the media.

If it wasn't for lying, the wanker wouldn't be able to talk at all.
