During a portion of an interview with Washington Post columnist and CNN host Fareed Zakaria set to air on Sunday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Fareed Zakaria GPS” that was released on Friday, President Joe Biden defended his decision to send cluster munitions to Ukraine by stating that Ukraine is “running out” of the ammunition that they need, and “we’re low on it.”
Biden said, “[I]t was a very difficult decision on my part. And by the way, I discussed this with our allies. I discussed this with our friends up on the Hill. And we’re in a situation where Ukraine continues to be brutally attacked across the board by munitions, by these cluster munitions that have dud rates that are very, very low — I mean, very high, that are a danger to civilians, number one.”

Why advertise to the Russians that Ukraine is low on ammo?
Psaki was quoted in another FR thread that using clusterbombs is a war crime
If you believe this dithering old fool, the US is low on the ammo too.
“… Biden said, “[I]t was a very difficult decision on my part.…”

BULL CRAP! YOU make no decisions. YOU do and say whatever your handlers tell you to do and say… period!
And that we are low on it as well. What an idiot
Because everybody with a brain already knows it. We have given them all the regular ammo we had. We are even trying to borrow from South Korea.
But we had a massive stock left over from the cold war era and it is expiring. In recent years we have been removing the aging bomblets from the casings and putting in a small explosive charge or concrete and using them as training rounds.
So we are giving them -something- that goes bang*. Basically, we are out of regular rounds and giving them birdshot.
We’re low on ammo so we’re sending it to Ukraine?
Advertise to the world the country you’re supplying with ammo is running out of ammo that we’re low on.
This guy is an idiot.
Someone needs throw up a facepalm for this one.
This is likely to lead to war crimes.
We thought how can someone be so stupid to withdraw from Afghanistan without getting the weapons out first, and that was the biggest blunder. Now this...
That’s not the only type of cluster in Ukraine
Cluster Bombs from Cluster...
Next thing he’ll announce he’s sending nukes to his BFF Forever Vlad Z.
I put no insanity past brain dead Joe.
END THE WAR!
$135 Billion to a CIA-installed regime that has built a hundred monuments to Nazi collaborators who mass murdered Poles, Jews and others wasn’t enough, apparently.
This senile old corrupt fool is an embarrassment. A once proud great nation, we looks weak and ragged.
Compare the treatment..
“”””Psaki was quoted in another FR thread that using clusterbombs is a war crime””””
You sort of rounded that one off.
The question—”is there a red line for how much violence will be tolerated against civilians in this manner that’s illegal and potentially a war crime?”
MS. PSAKI: It is — it would be. I don’t have any confirmation of that. We have seen the reports. If that were true, it would potentially be a war crime.
“The cluster munition attack with the highest known civilian casualties occurred on April 8, 2022, when Russia launched a Tochka-U ballistic missile equipped with a cluster munition warhead at a crowded train station in the eastern city of Kramatorsk as hundreds of people were trying to leave the area. A detailed Human Rights Watch investigation found that the attack killed at least 58 civilians and injured over 100 others.
It is an invasion, Ukraine is trying to stop the invasion.
