‘EVERYTHING IS BURNING’: United States-provided cluster munitions made their debut on the battlefields of Ukraine this week, with Ukrainian commanders reporting they are making a difference as efforts continue to break through Russian defenses.
“We have gotten some initial feedback from the Ukrainians, and they're using them quite effectively,’ NSC spokesman John Kirby said in a White House briefing. “They're using them appropriately … and they are actually having an impact on Russia's defensive formations and Russia's defensive maneuvering.”
Intercepted messages posted on Twitter by a pro-Ukrainian media platform indicate the controversial weapons are having a psychological impact on entrenched front-line Russian troops. “At the moment, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are demolishing our positions in the Bakhmut direction with cluster munitions,” one message says. “The counter-battery fight does not work. Everything is burning all around. The men are holding on, waiting for aviation. The General Staff has not yet handed over cluster bombs and rockets with cluster munitions to our guys for answers. It remains only to believe in our guys and our pilots."
Kirby described the current level of fighting as “pretty vicious,” and said Ukraine admits its counteroffensive is “not going as far or as fast on a daily basis as they would like.”

I think so too.
Linda would be out there leading the way.
Biden would be saying “they’re just bluffing”.
Yes.
Ghislaine Maxwell trafficked underage girls to…nobody!
It’s amazing how that is possible.
Putin's already threatened to use tactical nukes and he's got lots of them. The woke idiots at the Pentagon and the Big Woke idiot in the White House are slow-walking us into WW III. And I agree, it's not going to be pretty.

They will be true change agents in the battles. The Ukes will need to c-130s et al to drop the very biggest bombs.
Like the MOAB that they should get too.
Followed by Tsar Bomba 2.
Everyone has gone crazy.
That’s thermite, not cluster bombs.
it’s a dispersed munition...
When Ukraine is gone, things will be fine. The sooner the better.
Nobody cared when we dropped cluster bombs on Serbian CIVILIANS.
Leftovers are still taking a leg off a random unfortunate Serb.
This is what the US empire does...bomb and kill.
Kinda like us in Syria illegally and stealing oil.
Well, maybe we’ll get lucky and they’ll retaliate with their own cluster bombs dropped in DC and kill all the swamp bastards! Honestly, I wouldn’t even shed a tear. I would celebrate with candy in the streets! That’s how much the DC area is despised by American people. They have all the establishments there the DOJ, the FBI, the CIA Congress Senate presidency etc….go for a Russia do it! And if Russia doesn’t do it, China, you have our blessing! Anyways, our country is so done.
True, but war is the history of mankind.
Better we should avoid horrors on all sides.
Because it is what Russians do. Always, and forever, Amen. Better to have the Ukes spill their blood to stop them between the Dnieper and the Don, than to spill American blood stopping them between the Vistula and the Neman.

A post that begins with such a line gets worldwide attention.
You may be in Pennsylvania, but not much of a conservative.
A conservative would be clever enough to make their point without puerile name-calling.
