Jul 16, 2023 Description: While systems like tanks, jets and cruise missiles tend to capture the public imagination, the war in Ukraine in 2023 is largely being fought with much the same tools as it was in 2022 - artillery.
The constant exchange of fire has been critical to the battle, enabling attrition, blunting attacks and enabling advances. Both sides have continued to adapt, trying to refine their tactics and capabilities while wearing down their opponent.
But in this attritional struggle, losses and resupply of systems, barrels and ammunition matter, not just tactics. Ukraine now finds itself in an ammunition deficit - trying to attack at a time where its allies have not yet ramped up production enough to readily meet its needs.
It's in that context that the US recently announced the supply of cluster munitions to refill Ukraine's ammunition bunkers. Today we look at those munitions, their likely impact, as well as the broader course of the artillery war in Ukraine one year on from my original video on the topic "outgunned"
President Retard is a war criminal according to his own spokesperson
We are not the good guys anymore.
I am beginning to wonder if we ever were.
I'll start worrying when we put pictures of skulls on our caps.
Banned munitions are banned forever!
(Unless the Biden Regime needs to deploy to flog a failed big military payoff conflict)
Or put dissenters in prison and have show trials.
"The Russians are outgunned" transitions to "we are not longer outgunend because we will become war criminals instead and Putin won't know what to do next...."+
We sure about that?

This seems interesting becaise so many YouTube channels are monetized in various ways, and posted as "news."
Monetized? Indeed. One learns -- "2,972 paid members at a minimum of $2.50 a month, the Patreon alone seems to bring in about $7,430 per month

Yearly, for simply having "sponsors" on Patreon, this Australian brings in about $89K a year. For videos. From Australia. Repackaging real news reports into "content" as a "content creator."
As a business and as operating, per the above, a social media influencer. Feeling influenced yet?
Placing this in perspective of Free Republic, it seems Perun alone could fun a full quarter of all that Free Republic offers. And have some left over....
All opposition or criticism will be J6 dejaVu all over again.
Nuclear bombs and the planes and pilots to deliver them deep inside Russia are next. And they could already be there.
I post this with the disclaimer that I have no idea whether it’s true or not. Some part or all of could be disinfo. This is the Russian position on the cluster bomb escalation. It’s certainly worth considering.

“The Defense Department had been due by 2019 to stop use of any cluster munitions with a rate of unexploded ordnance greater than 1%. But the Trump administration rolled back that policy, allowing commanders to approve use of such munitions.”

You posted the propaganda that you want to disseminate for Russia.
Russia has been using cluster bombs since it first started the war, and they have also been using them illegally in war crimes against civilians.
Not since WWII.

Just some old cluster bombs anyways.
"Between 1964 and 1973, the U.S. dropped more than 270 million cluster bombs on Laos during the Vietnam War." In "The Impact of Cluster Bombs," NPR 10 July 2023/

More than a fifty year history, now made a big deal, for as against. But, nothing new. As yet.
Cluster bombs go back to WWII and it is easy to see why the concept would be attractive to the military, the technology of the failure rate has been what makes them ugly, the same reason that indiscriminate and careless laying of old-type land mines is so ugly, it is the left-overs in the field after the war is over.
Our newest versions are far advanced in terms of post-war safety.
just so we’re straight, he doesn’t consider raining submunition fire on villages as a bad thing... is that it?
I think the 100s of millions we freed from Russia at great cost of treasure and life would disagree, and most of them are thankful for their NATO membership.
