Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that President Joe Biden’s decision to send cluster bombs to Ukraine was needed because the nation would have been “defenseless” without it.

“Pence believes.”

Perhaps we should send Pence to be Putin’s VP?

That would bring Russia to their knees in record time. He could continuously tell Putin how he’s lost the war, and to just surrender and walk away honorably.
