‘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'm becoming stronger in my belief that our nation should have never gotten involved in this war between Russia and Ukraine. Unless we were promoting some type of peace deal, we should have stayed far away. If they aren't there already, we are going to end up with boots on the ground and young men and women offered up to a meat-grinder to appease the war-mongers such as Lindsey Graham.
Biden allowed it.
Cluster munitions are so horrible that Ruzzia should immediately quit this war and go home so no more of their young men get killed or mutilated in Putin’s imperial war of conquest!
So the Ukes bombard the trenches with cluster bombs.
If the Russians retreat ( or die) the Ukes will have to advance through the wasteland they create, as well as the mines the Russians will leave behind.
The Russians will just up the ante. Wait and see how they respond. It’s not going to be pretty.
Another idiot MIC war monger.
“we are going to end up with boots on the ground and young men and women offered up to a meat-grinder to appease the war-mongers such as Lindsey Graham.”
And Nukes
Iran is circling Israel, China is preparing to invade Taiwan, Cyber attacks coming, but hey...Biden’s got this.
Biden is a War criminal
51 percent disapprove of Biden decision to send cluster bombs to Ukraine: poll
Story by Sarah Fortinsky • Wednesday
The question posed to respondents stated that Biden made the decision “despite concerns from human rights groups that they endanger civilians,” before asking respondents whether they approve or disapprove.
More Democrats than Republicans said they approve of Biden’s decision – with Democratic approval at 52 percent, and GOP approval at 30 percent. Republicans were more likely to disapprove of the decision — with 64 percent of Republican respondents saying they disapproved of the decision and 36 percent of Democratic respondents saying they disapproved of Biden’s choice.

They won’t like tit for tat. Not to mention the little surprises that don’t go off now. But might in a couple years. Just ask the Afghani kids.
“And Nukes”
That’s what I’m afraid of. However, it will reach the goal of the population reduction that the WEF is so intent on implementing. Apparently Kamala Harris has heard the phrase so much that it accidentally slipped out in her comments the other day.
Those that promote population reduction make the mistake of thinking THEY will be the ones who decide who is “reduced”. And, that they will not be a part of the “reduction”. It doesn’t always work that way.
Higher yield thermobaric munitions will be on our threads next week.
Except for those ethnic Russians living in the Donbas who endured daily attacks from their fellow Ukrainians in the Azov Brigade for 8 yrs. It doesn’t matter to you if THEY get killed or mutilated in NATO’s “imperial war of conquest,” right?
Similar to what I just posted on a different thread on the same topic.
The Russians were using cluster munitions extensively, almost from day 1.
The City of Kharkiv has a huge pile of remains of cluster munitions. Mostly from the 220mm Uragan rocket system. Cluster munitions seem to be the primary ammo type for these.
No doubt if some other Ukrainian cities had the time and resources they could make similar piles. The Uragan is a common weapon.
And that’s just one weapon system.
And, that they will not be a part of the “reduction”.
They all have mega-bunkers.
It’s only a crime when the other guys do it
Have you ever noticed that?
