  1. The tech now exists to largely ameliorate most of the 2.35% of cluster munition failures. You just have to build and deploy. Simply GPS geo-fence cluster drops, apply to a cluster threat detection zone warning app in your phone, so that the risk is lowered even further from 2.35% down to less than 0.5% cluster dud threat assessment. ( assuming 80% population compliance ) The Orcs cluster dud rate is said to be around 40%, so applying the same technology reduction profile, you get a reduced threat risk profile of 8% Security police the physical boundaries of such off limit cluster zones with local volunteers. If you get over 80% citizen risk management compliance, your risk profiles fall even lower. Areas inaccessible to robotic systems, can be GPS geo-fenced off and marked for manual demining. Download the phone app, push incrementally updated hourly ( with potential unexploded munition proximity changes and new threat additions ) from a central database. If your mobile phone goes anywhere near a geo-fenced zone, you are alerted with a warning by your phone. You could have multiple alert modalities. 1. Sound. 2. Graphics pop up. 3. Vibrate. 4. SMS to a relative, friend or group. 5. Email to a relative, friend or email group for multilateral awareness. Also beneficial for soldiers and their teams. Message encryption could be also applied. This can be hands free automated and set as default for all alerts. Job complete !!!

  2. Why do thwy bring out this black woman she dont answer anything… she is the worst advisors

  3. Keep the cluster bombs send them Joe and Sullivan

  4. That means the green light for Russia to use cluster bomb counterattack?

  5. That national security officer should be required to attend every funeral of people (mostly children) who will be maimed or killed by the unexploded American weapon of mass destruction for the next 50 years. Children in Cambodia, Viet Nam and Laos are still being maimed and killed by this US ordinance used on those countries from 1965 through 1976 and that’s after US military team's “cleaned up” those areas. The current dud rate is 28%.

  6. American HYPOCRISY is unbelievable

  7. There have never been accusations of Russians using cluster bombs until today

  8. Cut America most dirty country of world, due to this innocent ukranian are dieing and suffering.recenly America defeated by Afghanistan and then again America will defeat from Russia in proxy war in Ukraine war field. 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳😀😄😀

  9. Well if tomorrow someone use these on Americans don't come crying

  10. Next time let's send some Sarin and SmallPox bombs

  11. ABC, Russia has repeatedly used phosphorous munitions and cluster bombs on residential targets in Ukraine. What is your opinion about Russia's use of anything they choose to drop on Ukrainian civilians? Why aren't you taking Ukrainians side and asking for ATACMS instead of debating cluster munitions? ABC, Where is your common sense?

  12. Defending this president all the time

  13. America represents tyranny to the world. Our politicians steal our money and ship it overseas, usually to kill people. We falsify the truth to continue these war crimes. Meanwhile… when a small percentage of that money is in question to help student loan borrowers… well that’s just unconstitutional and a waste of tax dollars.

  14. Suffering is the path to the dark side. Suffering leads to fear. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to the dark side.

  15. Happens family all brother and sister and Family All Russian government family all Rashiya and Ukraine family all PEACE freedom family all Russian government family all policies free happens Democracy in peace freedom family all family all happy and peace

  16. So many mixed feelings and thoughts…….

  17. As long as the stupid well-to-do chemically castrated chronically ignorant libs kids aren’t FIGHTING a war, it’ll keep on happening. We will see war on the shores of America soon enough …technically it’s been here for decades. Just not in a blatant way.
