The Biden admin is evil.
I miss President Trump when there was no new war during his presidency. Low inflation. Lower illegals invading USA.
More blood … how far will this go?!
Biden promised to be the Environmental President. He hasn't fulfilled that promise on several occasions and is now adding to his choices to harm the environment. Most people are upset because the cluster bombs don't always detonate when deployed and can blow up in years to come. What no one seems to be mentioning are the lead, mercury, and TNT ingredients in these cluster bombs that are going to further contaminate the soil and water. Before the Russian invasion, Ukraine was a major wheat and grains exporter. While they may make an effort to try and clear the areas where these munitions are used, they most likely won't be treating the actual soil. In the future, will they be growing and exporting contaminated wheat and grains to other countries that are used in a multitude of food products? Will those same food products be imported globally? We've all seen imported specialty foods on our own grocery store shelves. Biden has failed more than Ukraine on approving the use of cluster bombs. All NATO countries need to end this invasion without playing it on the sidelines. The old saying "Poop or get off the pot" is so appropriate.
According to former White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Feb 28, 2022, the use of cluster munitions is a war crime.
And if there is no war we will create one. Grow up. Tell your kids the truth. Maybe, just maybe if you're honest with them, they might be able to change that.
We sell weapons all mother loving day long.
Ridiculous. Don't be surprised if Putin starts using chemical weapons. Biden is bloody useless and putting everyone's life on the line.
Hear! Hear!
These will be very effective at clearing out trenches efficiently.
Nobody objects to the delivery of American cluster munitions, but they are afraid to use its weapons, because Russia is very rich in similar weapons. Russia has even perfected much more than that. 🤣🤣
The US covered themselves with shame invading and destroying many countries around the world that were much smaller and weaker under pretext of defending and spreading democracy. After shameful defeat to shepherds with rifles in Afghanistan they started a one more reckless criminal war in Ukraine against a world nuclear power. Biden proclaimed strategic defeat of Russia, but now it is clear his campaign has failed. Facing a one more inevitable defeat the US send to Ukraine cluster bombs, one of the most barbaric weapons as a last straw. I see it as last desperate Biden’s attempt to improve the situation even on the account of revealing of criminal nature of the US.
How are they going to invade Russia with what is basically an area denial weapon? OK Now you've mined their minefield.. now what? Advance? 😂
30 years of hollywood propaganda (top gun et al) and americans cant seem to remember losing to 5 foot vietnamese in sandals, and more recently, to taliban goat herders..
Nevermind the fact they have never experienced a land war at home.
Then there's the Russians who basically wrote the book on war.. but they don't like to talk about that 🙂
This is why we are broke and can't afford groceries. Cause of sending all of our money and ammo to these other places. Keep sending our stockpile so we have nothing. Get these democrat rats out of the white house and out of the govt. Shameful sons of Bs.
WE THE PEOPLE DON’T WANT WAR
Maybe someday we will have a president who doesn’t enjoy wa r. In my lifetime, probably not.
Todays modern wars, even during WW2, are fought in urban setting. The days and thought of one designated battlefield in this modern era is over, cluster bombs can't be aimed and they have no specific target, you just fly over and drop, boom, boom, boom, it kills everything, dogs, cows, snakes, or a family hiding in their basement. Now, if you are a cruel leader or general that don't mind collateral damage there fine.
biden said in a press briefing …"the dud rate for these is extremely low..
i mean high" which one of you morons voted for this dementia ridden senior citizen?
I don't like Putin or Russia, I didn't vote for Trump if it matters! BUT old fart Biden slowly but surely put us with a nuclear cataclysm! Of course he receives orders from super rich mummies = globalists, the world's deep states that are waiting for the end of the world in their rich atomic shelters! Someone normal has to stop this madness!
Where were human rights groups when Russia used phosphorous bombs (banned by Geneva Protocol) against civilians in Mariupol, Kharkiv region, and Syria?? They were QUIET. They did not concerned much about civilians!!!
Past impeach.
This is a banned ordnance in most NATO countries and should not be supplied to Ukraine. This makes us as bad as the Russians dropping pipe bombs on hospitals, schools and shopping malls.
If Russia can use them against Ukraine then Ukraine has every right to use them against Russia. Welcome to war
Doesn't matter that they are banned by the Geneva conference now if it was Trump doing this?
Great…kids will be getting their feet and legs blown off for 50 years after the war. Great Job America!!!
Ukraine must be losing, otherwise there would have been no sense of this desperate and criminal decision
Cluster bombs are used to knock down the infantry.
Biden is an absolute fool and has no business being president. Biden and the Democratic party is a reflection of just how foolish and unintelligent America is becoming.
Wake up liberals and stop voting for Democrats. Republicans are not perfect but it is all we have for now.
This war could have been avoided. The same is true with the China-US upcoming war.
This is horrible. Why is this war our problem
I hope we have more than these left in the stockpile.
Promises made by our offices in the US aren't reliable even in the event of the exact disaster they make assurances for. Just like that social security I spent years paying into in everything I ever did that was supposed to protect me in the event I was disabled. Now that it's happened its delay and deny, delay and deny. Makes me wish I could take back anything and everything I ever did and everything they ever benefited from and drop cluster bombs on that. Which would affect the livelihoods of everyone that receives tax returns, subsidies, or taxable goods of any kind.
I hope that this decision was not based on or influenced by cocaine.
Don't give Zelensky anymore money.
The military industry now control our government And with friends in congress and the White House aids them Those bombs bring wholesale death to anyone including innocent people Have we no shame ?
Time that the other NATO countries that approve of this took themselves to the ECHR.
Biden needs to be impeached now Send bombs instead of peace talks is not in the people interests
Biden-the bumbling warmongering ghoul, is setting the world up for nuclear annihilation.
Biden: The blithering fool. The ghoul that supported the Iraq war. The leader that wants the conflict to continue in Ukraine-until there's nothing left. America, in the meantime, experiences mass shootings on a weekly basis.
Nuclear power station, targeted
Nothing change….. 😢😢😢😢
Russia should send nuclear bombs to Ukraine.
ashamed to be american we have a corrupt disrespectful clown on office
