Biden just blurred out yesterday there is serious shortage of 155mm ammo.
Yesterday, President Biden’s statement has been confirmed by John Kirby, the National Security Council’s Coordinator for Strategic Communications
So its official, and not a result of The President’s confusion.
Mr Kirby echoed the President stating that cluster weapoms are being provided because the Ukraine is running out of conventional ammo, saying “This is about keeping Ukraine in the fight.”
One year ago, the US stated that the use of cluster bombs is “a war crime” So now, The US leadership is enabling what it defined as a a war crime.
Why are would they enable a war crime?
Here’s what I figure:
The US and the Ukraine are losing. The sanctions have failed. The front is static. The offensive is a bust. The Russians are waging a Zhukov style war of attrition. Ukraine has already lost 20% of its population. They are probaly considering peace talks. And the US leadersip is desperate to prevent more humiliation. When you need to save face, you do what you gotta do. Even a war crime? Whatever.
Anyhow, on why the US leadership is enabling a war crime, what do you guys figure?
