bonnie1962 Posted July 10, 2023 Posted July 10, 2023 Not too long ago, the use of cluster munitions was called a “war crime” by then-spokeswoman for the Biden clique Jen Psaki: July 10, 2023 Are you worried that the US may send cluster munitions to Ukraine? By Thomas Lifson At this very odd moment in US history, with a cognitively impaired president controlled by a shadowy group of unelected and unaccountable advisors, an important line in the sand may be crossed. The United State is openly discussing sending cluster munitions (aka, cluster bombs”) to Ukraine for use there in its war against Russia. These weapons, which contain multiple bombs that separate and scatter, are a grave danger to civilians since the munitions are designed to scatter over a wide area and may remain unexploded and pose a danger over time to innocent non-combatants. For this reason, 123 nations are committed to the goals of the Convention on Cluster Munitions that prohibits all use, transfer, production, and stockpiling of these weapons. Notably, the United States (which employed cluster munitions in Vietnam and Iraq), along with Russia, China, Brazil, Pakistan, and Israel, have not signed on.

But now, after decades of refraining feroem these widely-banned weapons, the US is openly considering supplying them to Ukraine out of desperation, because we have so depleted out stockpiles of munitions that the cupboard is bare. Not too long ago, the use of cluster munitions was called a “war crime” by then-spokeswoman for the Biden clique Jen Psaki: Quote

It actually sounded quite a bit like that. It sounds like no one said anything when Russia used them so the silence must mean it is alright for the US Quote
