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.

The question posed to respondents stated that Biden made the decision “in view of the need to ensure that income inequality is reduced and that voting rights need to be protected,” before asking respondents whether they approve or disapprove.

Then 97% approved of the decision to give cluster munitions to Ukraine.

And they will also get blown up in the extensive minefields that both sides have laid, and anywhere the Russians have extensively bombarded.

There will be decades of cleanup all along the present front line, and behind it. Some cluster munitions duds barely matter.

A good film from Russia. The nazis used a ‘pressure bomb’ to end the fight.

“The film shows the heroic defense of the Brest Fortress, which had taken upon the first strike of German fascist invaders on June 22 1941. Story describes the events of the first days of the defense. The film tells about three main resistance zones, headed by the regiment commander, Pyotr Mikhailovich Gavrilov, the commissar Efim Moiseevich Fomin and the head of the 9th frontier outpost, Andrey Mitrofanovich Kizhevatov.”

...whether Bradleys, Abrams or Panthers.

Panthers. Where did we find any Panthers to give them?

The Afghans actually have stores that will make prosthetics. Nothing fancy like the blades people run in, but drive through a place like MazarESharif and you’ll see quite a few missing limbs.

They are sending DU, because they don’t have anything else.

Even though it is only for 14 Challengers they don’t have anything else because the cupboard is so bare.

Brandon is pushing Putin, it won’t be much longer until Putin uses tactical nukes to end this charade, maybe we will get lucky and he will send a few to DC, because that is where this WAR that OBAMA STARTED is being ran from.

I suspect rather that this IS the standard ammo for the current version of Challengers.

Those 14 tanks haven’t been used at all AFAIK. Kind of hard for ammo to run out.

“We have gotten some initial feedback from the Ukrainians, and they’re using them quite effectively,”

“They’re using them appropriately”

Scorched earth, civilians be damned.

All Russia needs to do is turn around and go home and all will end. But for whatever reason they decided they wanted Ukraine even if it’s not theirs to have.

Where was this concern while the Russians were bombarding everything in sight, and laying millions of mines?

And you can bet their nuclear weapons are always in top shape, and not gone to pot like our weapons.

I assume that is a joke. The U.S. actually had to help them secure their weapons during the 90s since all they had were a couple of guys with machine guns who were selling anything they could get their hands on in order to feed themselves.

It is extremely well documented and the plutonium in the core are in a constant state of radioactive decay, needing to replenished every so often. I have a hard time seeing Russia keeping up with that over the last 30+ years that the USSR has been kaput.

I would prefer no nation made war on any other. But here we are.

A very decent movie, but it takes a lot of liberties. As usual with war flicks.

Re Panthers - there are a couple of runners I think. The French may have one.

After this...its nukes or troops.

Maybe we should run a poll.

Biden’s not just a regular CRIMINAL, he’s a WAR criminal as well.

Joe Biden is a war criminal but he’s protected by all of his fellow pedophiles.
