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.

WW3
No its not.
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.
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,
There will be an escalation though.
No one here has skin in the game, so they’re fine with it.
“Using cluster bombs in battle is a war crime. “
Bullsh!t.
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.
^^ THAT ^^
Yet, we have folks, even here, a-okay with this.
Its a war. Escalation began when the russians invaded. Any counter to any action can be called an escalation. War is not meant to be fought fairly. Ukraine took out one of two spans of a bridge. Russia missile strike and destroys an entire port facility. Was that not ‘escalation’?
Escalation is a term used like global warming, meant as a scare tactic to prevent rationale thought as to how to deal with a problem and replace it with fear.
Regarding the Concention on Cluster Munitions, 111 countries are state parties : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_on_Cluster_Munitions
The United States, Russia, and Ukraine are not among their number. (Neither are Turkey, India, China, or Brazil for that matter.)
People freaking out about these weapons being some kind of inherent “war crime” don’t know what they’re talking about.
That would be escalation, just sayin.
Says an American safe at home.
Ukraine can’t win. Everyone now is dying for no reason.
It’s good business according to Yellen.
Yes, that’s my point.
As Biden would say, “Com’on man, Gott mit uns”.
Or something as equally ridiculous.
You don’t “Fire’ a cluster munition’ they are dropped from aircraft.
Says a combat veteran who served. Did you? If not, you hardly have a right to criticize me today.
Ukraine can’t win.
Yet they have withstood Putins assault for 18 months. So define win.
Regarding Biden, Yellen, or anyone else who thinks that this is an opportunity for an opportunist, that is a separate issue and separate evil to be dealt with.
