“How do you do what you do, say what you say”
Simple. I so and say what I do based on TRUTH: researched verifiable evidence. Prayer is good. Continue to pray :)
You rejoice and thrill in the death and destruction of war. And you distribute this ghoulish pleasure to “the flock” as though it were communion bread.
The disease that this behavior causes in your spirit and soul (and perhaps in your body) must be devastating. I will pray for you.

1. “What danger do cluster bombs pose?”

‘WHAT’S HAPPENING IN UKRAINE?
Russian forces have “most definitely” used cluster bombs in Ukraine, Hiznay said.
He pointed to at least two instances: a missile attack that hit outside a hospital in the town of Vuhledar on the first day of the invasion last week. and another Monday on Ukraine’s second-largest city, Kharkiv, with a population of 1.4 million.
Hiznay retweeted photos of what he said was unexploded 9N235 cluster submunitions scattered around Kharkiv. Human Rights Watch said four people were killed in the Vuhledar strike.

Ill? ‘Unhinged’? Or calculating? Russia’s Putin keeps everyone guessing
Feb. 28, 2022
Human rights groups have said three people were killed after Russian cluster bombs hit near a preschool in the northeastern city of Okhtyrka. The open-source intelligence group Bellingcat says that its researchers found cluster munitions in that strike as well as multiple cluster attacks in Kharkiv.
Amnesty International said Russian forces have a “shameful record of using cluster munitions in populated areas.”
Justin Bronk, a research fellow at Royal United Services Institute, a London defense think tank, said images of munitions parts recovered from residential areas of Kharkiv are “concrete evidence” that Russia is using cluster bombs.
“Their use suggests the Russians are trying to break morale, inflict terror on the civilian population and the defenders in order to try and force a negotiation or just retreat,” he said.’

“A variety of cluster bombs have been used by Russia on the battlefield in Ukraine, both against Ukrainian troops and in urban areas, Sidharth Kaushal, a research fellow at the defense and security think tank RUSI, told CBS News.”
3. Ukraine war: Evidence shows widespread use of cluster munitions in Kharkiv
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61778433
‘Russia has killed hundreds of civilians in the north-eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv using indiscriminate shelling and widely-banned cluster munitions, according to new RESEARCH BY AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL.
AMNESTY said it had found EVIDENCE OF RUSSIAN FORCES REPEATEDLY using 9N210/9N235 cluster bombs, as well as “scatterable” munitions - rockets that eject smaller mines that explode later at timed intervals.
The BBC visited five separate impact sites in residential neighbourhoods in Kharkiv and saw evidence of a distinctive, symmetrical spalling effect associated with cluster munitions. We showed images from the sites to three weapons experts, who all said the impacts were consistent with the controversial weapons.
“Those impacts are from cluster munitions, it’s a classic signature,” said Mark Hizney, a senior researcher in the arms division of HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH, a campaign group. “And in one image you can see a remnant of a stabiliser fin from one of the submunitions,” he said.
CCTV FOOTAGE passed to the BBC by a resident at one of the sites showed SUCCESSIVE CLUSTERED DENONATIONS - “a very strong indicator of submunitions from a cluster weapon,” said Hamish de Bretton Gordon, a former British Army colonel and Cambridge University weapons expert.

I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the four hundred and ninty ninth day of the war.
Day 499: Jul 07
Today there is a lot of good news from the Velyka Novosilka direction.
After starving out Russians in Rivnopil and forcing them to retreat virtually without a fight, the next target of the Ukrainian assault units became Pryyutne. Ukrainians tried to capitalize on the possible disarray associated with the retreat, however, it seems like Russians were preparing to do it for a long time, so it was pretty organized, and Ukrainians were stopped on the first tree line south of Rivnopil.
If we look at the topographic map, we can see that these Russian positions are separated from the rest by the gully, which complicated the supply and support of this group. Ukrainians understood the weakness and vulnerability of the Russian positions along the tree line and immediately adapted their plans.
Soon, Ukrainians launched a powerful attack along the hills west of Mararivka to penetrate Russian defense orders and cut the main supply roads to Russian positions south of Rivnopil. The operation was extremely successful, Ukrainians developed a wide bridgehead and advanced in some places by up to 2 km.
In the meantime, the Russian forces in the tree line in front of Rivnopil started to struggle. As Ukrainians cut off their supplies, ammunition shortage started to kick in, and they had to ration their expenditure. However, after the Ukrainians conducted the imminent flank attack, the Russian defense along the tree line started falling apart like dominos, and they stepped back behind the gully.
Soon, Russian sources reported that Russian forces decided to make a tactical retreat with the goal of evening out the front line. Ukrainian sources reported that Ukrainian forces entered the newly captured positions and created additional fortifications, and equipped the positions to face potential Russian counterattacks.
Interestingly, Russian forces did not counterattack and devoted all of their resources to preventing further front-line collapses. Russian sources reported that Ukrainians started deploying sabotage groups. After that, the Ukrainians launched a series of bigger attacks toward Pryiutne and managed to advance by around 300 meters.
Russian analysts started panicking about the unfavorable development of the situation and reported that Ukrainians were seen preparing two large assault groups: one around Maakrivka and one around Levadne.
Both of these assault groups have only one goal – to push Russians out of Pryiutne. Russian forces responded to these developments by conducting a series of airstrikes. Nonetheless, Ukrainians continued advancing.
Russian sources reported that Ukrainians brought a lot of equipment to facilitate rapid assaults. Russian reconnaissance teams noted that Ukrainians supplied the forefront positions with a lot of grenade throwers, and as you probably know, grenades and grenade throwers are some of the most indispensable tools of the assault units.
In the meantime, Ukrainian drone operators started undermining Russian defensive capabilities by hunting down Russian armored fighting vehicles and trucks with supplies of ammunition. Ukrainian 110th Territorial Defense Brigade managed to destroy up to 4 vehicles in one day. Their drone operators found 3 armored fighting vehicles, one of which they managed to take down on the run; and also one Russian car with a machine gun planted in the rear.
Ukrainian Drone detachments from the 501st and 36th Brigades also targeted Russian positions in and around Priyutne. The released footage indicates that they revealed and, in coordination with artillery crews, destroyed Russian mortar crews together with ammunition and equipment.
Overall, Ukrainians are preparing to penetrate Russian defenses around Pryiutne and collapse the front line. If we look at the topographic map, we can see that this Russian settlement is located almost in the center of the next elevated platform. The settlement itself is also relatively big if we compare it to other settlements in the region, which mean that it serves as the main logistical hub that is responsible for the stability of the entire region.
This means that if Russians lose it, Ukrainians can double the liberated square area virtually overnight, and judging by how events on this front line unfold, it is just a matter of time until Ukrainians liberate this settlement.

>> You speak only of your own sick inclination to rejoice and support the death and destruction of Russian and Ukraine military and Ukrain civilians caused by the Russian Invasion of Putin.
What are you talking about? You make up lies to slander me. As such I must believe the words of Jesus: your father is the father of lies.
I hate the war!!! I hate the evil, unjust, unrighteous principalities of BOTH the corrupt Zzzellinskyyy Ukranian government AND the evil Putin Russian government.
My heart is for the VAST numbers of innocents in BOTH countries. I would rejoice if BOTH unrighteous governing principalities were dissolved. May GOD do it! In Jesus’ name.
“In America they say “In God We Trust”, but making marijuana illegal is like saying God made a mistake.”
― Kenneth G. Ortiz
Hmmm... okay, you hold this “Kenneth G Ortiz” close to your heart.
I think I’ll stick with Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, Moses, the major and minor prophets, Jude, King David, ...
Oh, and I’ll also stick with Jesus CHRIST as revealed to His disciple John. Alpha and Omega, The Beginning and The End. You know, the Messiah.
You can have your world. Just give me Jesus.
“What are you talking about?... your father is the father of lies.”
You slander and accuse me with your false statements.
As I stated earlier in Comment #107.
Do not give support to this evil Russian Invasion of Putin that has and continues to cause the death and maiming of “Russian and Ukraine military and Ukraine civilians”
Christians are taught: “But now you must so rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, SLANDER, and filthy language from your lips. Colossians 3:8 NIV
If you indeed do NOT support the Russian invasion, then I have spoken falsely & ask your forgiveness.
“I think I’ll stick with Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, Moses, the major and minor prophets, Jude, King David, ...
Oh, and I’ll also stick with Jesus CHRIST as revealed to His disciple John. Alpha and Omega, The Beginning and The End. You know, the Messiah.”
MAY THIS BE SO.
I most certainly do not support the Russian invasion.
As you have asked, you are forgiven for believing I did. I never considered your views as an offense, anyhow.
Your meme is true.
Folks ask for sources to proof Russia used cluster bombs then refuse to read information.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
oh well ?!?!
“”””No major U.S. News source EVER reported Russian use of Cluster Bombs.
I’m guessing that’s why you used this DW source.”””
The American coverage has been plentiful over the last almost year and a half.
See post 108 for just a few during a couple of weeks.
All of us make mistakes projecting our feelings on others when angry. I will forgive your hurtful false statements directed toward me in Comments:
