US in Talks to Send Cluster Munitions to Ukraine
Newsmax ^ | June 30, 2023 | Sandy Fitzgerald

The Biden administration is considering a plan to send cluster munitions to Ukraine to assist with Kyiv's counteroffensive against Russia, according to two U.S. officials and a person in familiar with the talks.

In recent days, the discussion, which involves sending dual-purpose, improved conventional munitions has been growing while Ukraine's efforts against Russia have stalled, but as of late last year the administration was saying it had concerns about delivering the weapons because of humanitarian reasons and because it was not yet determined whether Ukraine needed them at that time, reports Politico.

However, the sources said the administration's debate about the weapons has grown during Ukraine's difficulties with the counteroffensive, and now, some officials are saying the administration is closer to agreeing on the cluster munitions at any other point since the Russian invasion.

If you have opinions on this topic and talk to people about it, and have curiosity about it, then why don’t you google your questions, how is it that you don’t know anything about it?

Let me check if I give a damn about mean Russian jokes.

Nope. I do not give a damn about mean Russian jokes.
I do not give a damn about hurt feelings over mean Russian jokes.
I'm having a hard time shedding tears for dead Russians too.

Putin started this, not Ukraine, Europe, NATO or the US.
He can end it by withdrawing.

Thanks. I have done some googling but info seems very general and search results unresponsive. I dont believe this effort will end well but I’m annoyed that the people who run joe biden pledge undying support and whatever it takes and we arent nearly supplying or coordinating what COULD be sent from us or friends. Not sure who wins by us being played. I hope it’s not just money from replacing arms we send. A lot of people dying over there for that money.

No wonder you ask other people to supply you with answers.
