These are Dual Purpose Improved Conventional Munitions (DPICMs) cluster munitions for the 155mm artillery.

“seal the border”

We need to wall off our money via comprehensive constitutional governmental revenue caps.

One possibility:
Taxes, fines and fees on members of households having incomes of less than the person having the most federal employment income shall not be increased.

Adjustments of up to 3% to property taxation, government fees and fines to compensate for monetary inflation may be made annually.

Mechanisms in lieu of taxation may not be created or expanded by law.

Please stop asking difficult questions. You will make pro-zelensky neocons uncomfortable.

Russia has expressed concerns that the Zelensky regime may commit mass civilian casualties and blame Russia ( this is a real possibility ), so perhaps Zelensky doesn’t need much of a delivery system

There’s a poster here who is fine with a nuclear exchange. Of course he’s in his 70’s, which shows his compassion for his countrymen.

Another poster was advocating using special forces to commit terrorist attacks, purposefully, against women and children in Russia.

We have some real winners here…

Biden just blurred out yesterday there is serious shortage of 155mm ammo.

Apologies. However I was corrected, in that they can be used as artillery.

It wouldn’t surprise me at all.

Everyone assumed the power plant nonsense was a false flag set up too.

Leftists love “unity”—obedience enforced by guns at people’s heads.

If Zelensky killed hundreds of thousands of his own people, all we would hear in the news is “look at what Russia did” , it would be harder to prove who did it than a stolen US election

The other day the government claimed they destroyed the last of our chemical weapon stockpile. Maybe they just gave it to Zelensky for his next false flag op.

Biden said the quiet part out loud - the reason he is giving the Ukraine cluster munitions is because we have run out of all other types of munitions to send them so they are all we have left to send.

Let that one sink in

You need to improve your math.
Math is sacred btw, and not racist. You don’t think Math is racist, do you?

Russia has used up a very large proportion of its original active force of tanks. Maybe the majority of them, if you go with the Ukraine MOD number, or over half if the Oryx number.

They have since pulled a lot of tanks out of reserve, including T62s and even T55s, both of which have shown up at the front.

Ukraine has run put of men to put out to take Russian fire.

Enter cluster bombs and nuclear fallout. Force multipliers as EG&G Rotron and Raytheon would print in their brochures.

"I have a question with regards to cluster munitions.
Don’t they have to be dropped via aircraft?
How’s this going to work?"

Cluster munitions can be deliver via Artillery Shells.

"The United States said it would send Ukraine 155-millimeter artillery shells loaded with explosive grenades called dual-purpose improved conventional munitions, or D.P.I.C.M.s. The shells are designed to break open midair and dispense the grenades over an area to attack both armored vehicles as well as dismounted troops."

In time the Ukraine people will dump Mr. Z and make a deal with Putin.

I think we all knew that this was Ukraine's fate the moment Russia started massing troops on the border. Ukraine had no Army to speak of. No training. They had no military equipment. Their economy couldn't cover the costs of war on their own. They were lucky to keep as much territory as they have. But what was the cost in human lives?

Why do you avoid labeling your threads with the source?
