This latest development from the Biden administration is concerning on many levels.
The White House is announcing their approval to send cluster bombs to Ukraine in an effort to provide a very deadly and dangerous type of munitions that have been resoundingly criticized by most of the western alliance. Cluster bombs are not just dangerous on the battlefield, they are also notorious for creating collateral civilian damage.
That said, when you overlay the reality of the Ukraine policy, essentially World War Reddit, being driven in large part by a psychological operation that is challenging to figure out from a reality perspective; in combination with very unstable people in the U.S. government seemingly playing war within the larger policy agenda; one must also look at this from a Russian intelligence position.
Is the Biden administration really willing to deploy cluster bombs or is this some PR narrative intended to give the impression the U.S. is willing to up the stakes in the use of weapons that will continue escalating, regardless of consequence. There are a lot of unstable minds within this larger Ukraine narrative as promoted by the White House, Pentagon and State Dept (CIA).
WASHINGTON DC – The Biden administration on Friday announced it will include cluster bombs in the United States’ next $800 million weapons package for Ukraine, as well as armored vehicles and air defense missiles.
President Joe Biden acknowledged it took some time to be convinced to provide the controversial weapons, but he stressed the importance of supporting Ukraine’s ammunition supplies while preserving U.S. inventories, as well as discussing how Kyiv plans to deploy the bombs.
“We’re in a situation where Ukraine continues to be brutally attacked across the board by these cluster munitions with dud rates that are very high,” Biden said in an upcoming interview with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria.
National security adviser Jake Sullivan also responded to humanitarian concerns about the controversial cluster bombs by emphasizing the need to provide Kyiv with artillery and by saying that Ukraine has already been targeted by Russia’s cluster bombs.
“We recognize that cluster munitions created risk of civilian harm from unexploded ordnance,” Sullivan said during a White House press briefing. “This is why we deferred the decision for as long as we could, but there is also a massive risk of civilian harm if Russian troops and tanks roll over Ukrainian positions and take more Ukrainian territory and subjugate more Ukrainian civilians because Ukraine does not have enough artillery.”
Cluster munitions are designed to destroy multiple targets at once by dropping explosive “bomblets” over a wide area, risking potentially harming civilians or other unintended targets. Both sides are already actively using the weapons. Ukrainian cluster munitions killed at least eight civilians in Izium last year, according to Human Rights Watch. (read more)
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The White House on Friday said President Joe Biden and fellow NATO leaders will discuss at next week’s summit what steps Ukraine must complete to join NATO and that Kyiv has additional reforms to make, as it fights Russian invaders.
Jake Sullivan, Biden’s national security adviser, said Ukraine will not be voted into NATO membership at the summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, but he encouraged Ukraine’s President Volodomyr Zelenskiy to attend to discuss the matter.
“The NATO summit will dive into the question of NATO’s relationship with Ukraine both the question of its pathway towards future membership and the question of an ongoing partnership that has existed for several years,” he said. (read more)
Cluster bombs for a cluster f#*k war…
🤬🇺🇸🥵
My grandsons turn 18 today.
By law they have 30 days to sign up for the Selective Service or there are substantial penalties.
I pray to Almighty God that the reinstatement of the draft is not being contemplated in the war engine rooms of the Empire of Hate and Lies…but I fear it is.
For the sakes of everyone now serving and those who may I pray this.
Cluster bombs today.
Our blood and treasure next.
Ukraine membership in NATO pretty much guarantees Cold War 2.0. At that point, what do we have… more “strategic positioning”, missile batteries, air base enhancements, etc… perhaps another proxy war or two over the years? Maybe we’ll enjoy War On Terror 2.0 a couple decades from now? It’s enough to keep Lindsey Graham awake at night… just thinking of the possibilities…
Your grandson is probably not at risk of being drafted, unless things REALLY go south. But ya gotta wonder… if you’re joining the military today… what are you defending, exactly? The Liberal World Order that… when it comes right down to it… really doesn’t exist for the benefit of Joe and Mary Blow?
Cold War 2.0? Try WW 3.0. Once Ukraine joins NATO, wouldn’t we be required to defend them against attack? You know the Article 5 thing?
WWIII is not as profitable… too much destruction. Cold War, Proxy War, Regime Change, Global War On Terror etc. are the gifts that keep on giving!
well,
whom is defending nato from c c p multiprong attacks?
Is there a selective, exemptive, use of Article 5?
hmmm…
But Ukraine is doing Great! That’s why they are sending them banned weapons that they don’t really need.
/s
Thank you, mr piddles.
I wish I could agree with you that the possibility of a draft is not great, but I cannot.
We are dealing with the Military Industrial Complex with unhinged, amoral, soulless incompetents at the head of it. I believe they are capable of anything and everything, as long as they benefit from it themselves.
And this war, which they started, is exactly to their liking.
Human life has no value to them, unless it is their own. That they would send munitions as devastating as these is testament to that. Just as is the loss of the 13 servicemen and women who were sacrificed in Afghanistan without so much as a shoulder shrug…although we were treated to a vision of the subhuman “Commander in Chief” checking his watch as their bodies were returned to this country.
Like millions before them.
Hmmmm,…what would happen to Clinger of M.A.S.H., today?
America always balked at drafting woman, pretty sure woman don’t have to register for Selective Service, so does a “self-identifies as female” biological male have to register?
Would they have to serve?
Do female to male trannies routinely register?
Things get really complicated, when you start pretending there are more than two genders.
Does an 18y.o. male, that self-identifies as a CAT, have to register for Selective Service?
Excellent point. I suggest all the biological women who identify as men, be required to register, and all the biological males who identify as women, also register. Fair is fair. Or will they all file for disability due to the surgeries and pharmaceuticals? In which case, all our healthy young men who don’t deserve this clstrfck war, should immediately identify as women or disabled.
OUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS SHOULD NOT BE IN THIS WAR. It’s a political war and real people are being killed and now the Xiden Admin wants to kill more people. Biden is the worst president in history. **spit**
Actually, this is really the 3rd Hussein administration with Bi-dung as placeholder. BO was the worst President.
Let’s not forget that mentally ill members of the armed services are now not required to meet fitness expectations. They get a pass.
Oh geez I misread that last part I thought it was “they get a pu—“.
https://hotair.com/david-strom/2023/07/06/army-exempts-trans-service-members-from-physical-fitness-standards-n562821
😣
Clinger was explicitly trying to get out.
Nowadays they’d castrate him and make ‘her’ keep serving.
I always thought it ironic. Max had a relatively cushy, behind the lines, support role. Seoul or Tokyo would have been cushier or safer, but he rarely saw front line levels of danger. All the people they tried to save would have gladly switched jobs.
Isn’t Clinger Chief of Staff today?
Let the virtue signaling sons and daughters and lpqxxx’s of loyal Biden democommunists go to defend their “democracy”.
The good enlistments are bailing in droves because they see how corrupt all branches have become.
Tragically it will be Hot war.
Not to mention making the world safe for Butt sex,imposing LGBGQPEDO on the rest of humanity so a bunch of Banksters and their tribe of sock puppets(That you must not speak ill of) can make a pile of scheckles. Soooooooooo Progressive 🤮🤮🤡
“If you’re joining the military today… what are you defending, exactly?”
Setting up confusion is the entire goal of the Marxist NWO globalists. To erase national culture and pride of country. It is why they allow hordes of people from Muslim & third world countries to flood the West. They must love what is going on in France right now. That will come here. Our Homeland Security Czar insists on it, despite border states fighting back.
It is why they mandated that CRT be taught to our military. “Hate your country and the principles it was founded on because the founders owned slaves” is the mantra of these Marxists. “Destroy your monuments and erase your history.” “We will define your new history.”
Yes these top military leaders and their handlers are insane. This has been going on for decades. JFK saved us from nuclear annihilation during the Cuban Missile Crisis by refusing to comply with their wish to initiate a “preemptive” strike on the Soviet Union. It’s all there in the secret WH tapes he made. Who is there to save us now from the march toward a nuclear WW3?
The more war they escalate, the more money they make through their back channels, the more power they have. They don’t care one bit how many millions of people will die or what the reputation of the US will be. That era seems to be over with Biden’s installation.
If they could conspire with the Chinese to unleash a deadly bioweapon on the world, then prohibit doctors from using known effective treatments and instead lock down the populace and mandate a lethal “vaccine” they knew would sterilize and maime people, then they are literally capable of anything. It’s all about the money and power for them. They’ve decided the world needs to be depopulated. We are under the grip of evil. They are like the criminally insane evil cabal we used to watch in Bond movies come to life. The future will judge us for how we handle this.
Why would anyone join our military ? Unless you are doing it to keep yourself out of prison. I think prison would be better
So what? What does he have to lose by not registering? A student loan he cannot repay for a degree for which he cannot get a job? I assume your grandson was born here, so becoming a citizen is not an issue?
Here is what he faces if he doesn’t sign-up
“Men who fail to register for the draft by then (26 yo) can no longer do so – forever closing the door to government benefits like student aid, a government job or even U.S. citizenship.”
Sounds to me he will be dodging more than just bullets. Looks like he would avoid a lifetime of indebtedness and servitude to the fourth branch/deep state overlords of this country
I signed up for selective service upon my 18th birthday in 1987, and was excited to do so. We were still being preyed upon by our government then with the Red Scare of the 1950s. I was patriotic and motivated. Now, if any of my kids sign up for selective service or decide to work for the Feds, I will personally disown them. We hereby remove our consent! Spit!
There are no existential threats that the USA faces outside of its rulers/political class’ war on its own citizenry
FJB and Lesko Brandon
That is what I am curious about, do they even know selective service even exists, that it is a requirement?
My son is 19. I’m praying with you.
I have two 22 year old sons and one 22 year old daughter- I am holding your hand and sending up prayers alongside you! They are college students (no loans), and I don’t think they can make you serve as long you are a registered student.
💕🙏🏻
There certainly is cause for concern. Pray without ceasing as the Apostle Paul admonished.
I viewed a video one of the Treepers
posted on this site a couple of days ago.
It showed
beautiful people, young and old, enjoying their day.
It happened to be in in the country of the West’s 2 minute hate.
The war-craZed fiends are seeking to send our beautiful youngsters to war against their beautiful youngsters.
There is no effort to work toward peace.
There was an effort which was nipped in the bud immediately by the then British PM Boris Johnson, subsequently booted from office (now reduced to sometime employment as a Daily Mail columnist), replaced by the WEF installed current PM and ex Goldman Sachs banker Sunak.
These monsters want no part of peace. Their lucrative Ukrainian playground would be exposed completely, as well as those whose dirty hands are covered in blood.
The Nazi pervert Zelensky is on tape saying it is time for the West to send their sons and daughters for sacrifice.
On the “Morning Muster” thread of the site “The New Americanist” the proprietor, Diane Cecht, each day places the photograph of a young man (usually) who was killed in one of the many obscene wars which have taken place since the 60s.
Fresh, smiling young faces with their lives in front of them.
God bless her for it.
And each day I see a face, think of their families and them, and say dear God! No more.
Please no more…🙏🏻
He needs to learn spanish…..
I advised my twin 18 year old grandsons and their 15 year old sister three years ago that the smartest thing they all could do is to learn conversational Spanish at least.
It has been one of my supreme joys that they have always listened to me, stored what I’ve told them, and put that advice into practice.
All three started Spanish immediately.
Mandarin may be good as well.
We’d all better sign up for that one.
With the way the schools are run, who tells the kids they have to sign up for selective service, and who follows up if they did or not?
I’m sorry Betsy…that’s a terrible feeling.
Mine are much younger, but reinstatement of the draft will bring out a lot of boomers who remember who they lost in ‘Nam.
For whatever it may be worth, Germany is against these horrid munitions. So says the worse than useless Green Foreign Minister from that country, Annalena Baerbock.
https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reuters.com%2Fworld%2Feurope%2Fgermany-opposes-sending-cluster-munitions-ukraine-minister-says-2023-07-07%2F
Hypocrisy, thy name is Biden, War Criminal.
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/germany-rejects-cluster-bombs-ukraine-clip-surfaces-biden-admin-previously-calling
Betsy, is the selective service registration (at 18) a new, or recent, requirement? Just wondering if the evil pedophile demented fraud’s admin started it or not.
No it isn’t new, Slowcobra. And the draft is not yet…I say yet…being ordered. Although I did see an article in The Atlantic screaming for the draft to be reinstated, horrid liberal rag that it is.
The people in DC in their isolation bubble…salivating for a hot war when no doubt, because of lackluster recruitment….would have no problem in sending our young men and women to their deaths.
Their memories are short. I suspect ours in the main are not. That’s a Pandora’s box I suspect they’d regret opening.
Coincidentally I have just stumbled on this article in Zerohedge about the recruitment problem.
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/wsj-blames-abysmal-recruitment-numbers-military-veterans
They can worry about recruitment all they want, many of us remember Nam and were none too happy about Iraq not having weapons of mass destruction. Hopefully, sanity will rear its head and wipe the smile off Lindsey’s face.
Thanks betsy.
And a cluster f#%k of an administration. 🤷♂️🤡🤡🤡
It amazes me how things have changed since the Vietnam war era. Conservatives conformed to the draft, supported the war and urged military service while liberals urged the opposite, protesting the war, draft dodging and avoiding the military at all costs.
Now the “warmongers” are the democrat/liberals AND most Republicans in Congress. The left despised the “military industrial complex” in the 60’s but now that it empowers them they are all for it.
Isn’t it amazing how power corrupts the ideals of people? MAGA/TRUMP 2024!
aaaaaand Action
with stupid stundberg and zelenskyy, 2 george SoreA$$ relatives??? PUSHAW that!
That bottom snapshot of MK-Greta is perfect for her… “I’ve been directed to inform you that Lord Soros is very pleased with your performance, Mr. President”…
Very pleased indeed!
perfect photo on so many levels
Get a load of gruesome Greta’zz
creepy handler in the green jacket.
Might be her mom (and handler).
Look at those eyes, in the bottom image. Younger sister of Strozck? As Quint said in “Jaws,” “Dead…lifeless…like a doll’s eyes.”
Interesting background on the Strozck psycho. His father was the attache at the American Embassy in Tehran Iran in the 70s and during the overthrow of the Shaw.Oversaw the arms for hostages deal that the left tried to KneeCap Reagan with. Truly I say unto thee, the apple doth not fall far,from the tree.
Some information if one wants to dig into this from the Convention on Cluster Munitions
https://www.clusterconvention.org/
I vaguely remember something about the logic of why the USA was not a party to this convention. A capacity for reciprocity in warfare with particular rivals or other. Regardless, immensely cruel weapons designed for maiming.
End of W’s time in office and start of Zero’s. Too many Neocons with dreams of cluster bombs burning Russians and Chinese as they slept.
Well, that is what is meant when they throw out words like capacity for reciprocity with particular rivals,
Same mindset dreams up things like weapons that maim are better than weapons that kill because many people are needed to care for them, taking away from forces available to the Frontline.
Going to need them around Taiwan or China, and dropping on or near the water has less collateral damage…
Of course China Joe will give them all away to Zelenski. That’s what the CCP pays Joe and Hunter for.
BINGO!!!
Psychological weapons for a psychological war.
“Same mindset dreams up things like weapons that maim are better than weapons that kill because many people are needed to care for them, taking away from forces available to the Frontline.”
Essentially that same quote was given to us in basic training in the Army many years ago as one of the reasons for 5.56 NATO ammo for the M16.
My concern was “what if the bad guy I just shot was not killed and able to shoot back and kill me?!?”.
I’m still not into that theory.
The 5.56 NATO was designed to kill NOT just injure. Shot placement.
Lighter ammo=more ammo per soldier.
I would disagree with that, although the M16 is a very accurate weapon the 5.66 does not have a lot of stoping power and the round is notorious for ricocheting and fragmenting when striking bone.
Everybody knows what Ukraine really needs… more minefields, of course.
Mindfields?
mr.piddles: Makes perfect sense.
It was one of the main premises for the military going from the M14 (7.62mm) to the M16 (5.56mm). The smaller round doesn’t always deliver a kill shot and therefore takes out 2 operatives: The one you shoot, and one to take care of him.
Are you thinking what Im thinking when you look at this picture? I mean, who or what looks like this?
Freak show!
Joseph Goebbels?
Totally agree. I’m a bit of a believer in physiognomic clues. I often wonder why so many people seem not to see these things. Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, Wasserman Schulz, Killary…these are not real people.
Charles Tate: I agree! These creatures are not “normal” human beings. They are evil beings.
But the freakies allow the normal looking – eg Harmeet Dillon – to do their evil undercover.
Who or what looks like this?
A: Previous Commie “presidential” advisors:
Democrat Presidential Advisor Harry Hopkins with fellow vote-counter
Once again, the souless, evil eyes.
Satan has controlled the earth since Adam and Eve lost the Garden.
But ALL of those guys – Stalin, Hitler, FDR, Churchill, Truman – have their own evil they will be accountable for. None of them were any good.
Probably explains why there were so many Communists in the FDR & Truman administrations
Someone that was also heavily involved in “Russia, Russia” for Hilldog ?
I find it interesting that this guy comes out of nowhere and immediately is advising Hillary. We have a lot of these types. His wife is even more frightening.
Enlarge the picture to focus on the eyes
souless evil
That guy is a freaking creep. Another of Zero/Clinton’s minions. Wikipedia describes him as a straight shooter. Straight shooter compared to what?
The freaks in charge are out of their cages.
The Biden regime are intent on starting war with Russia. That will not end as they think it will. IDK who’s running the regime, but they they’ve never been in a war zone.
They’re completely insane.
From Operation Just Cause, of December 1989…there are still buildings in Panama, that have damage from bullets. The bullet holes remain on the buildings.
I agree about those not ever being in a war zone–the internet and even the vids out of Ukraine, Afghanistan, Iraq etc, don’t give it justice…we have our veterans of middle east conflicts, to enlighten them, but there is none so blind as he who will not see.
Less than 18 months to fulfil Obama’s plan. Total degradation of America.
Wait until they realize they are standing with an empty holster. The people in this country that can fight, won’t. Not for these sh*ts. The rest will melt like butter and serve as commissary for our enemies. In fact, other than the usurpers in DC, I see no enemies.
What is the ONE thing that could stop PDJT from retaking the White House?
A hot war with Russia “necessitating” draconian marital law, including the “suspension” of elections, heavy internet censorship, restrictions on travel and movement within the US, and arrests of dissidents and other “white supremacist” domestic terrorists.
For those who say it can’t happen, or that its not Constitutional, then you haven’t been paying attention. Everything I’ve mentioned has already been prepped and readied for implementation starting with the Obama administration’s weaponization of the security state, continuing with the Covid lockdowns and heavy censorship of the consequences of the “vaccine”, the political persecution of the J6 protesters–including recent revelations that the feds had “lots” of undercover agents” amid those who entered the Capitol–and, of course, the ongoing efforts by the federal government to establish a permanent agency specifically designed to regulate and censor ALL information (internet, traditional media, etc.) with which the federal government does not agree.
Everything is in place for the imposition of permanent despotism and Ruling Class tyranny.
I’ve believed since the stolen election of 2020, they wouldn’t allow another election to take place in 2024. Whether it was another plandemic, national violence from the left blamed on the right, a false flag of some sort or some other make believe cause, it was their path forward.
The way they, I’ll be kind here, stretch the countries laws to go after those who oppose them, what’s one more? Their game is do whatever it takes then try to run out the clock. Been working for them so far.
Don’t forget the acquisition during the Obama years of millions of rounds of ammo and lots of advanced weapons by agencies like the Dept of Energy, of Education, the IRS, Homeland Security, the Interior Dept, etc etc. What do you thing the D of E has a SWAT team for? arguments over textbooks? Puh-lease.When the SHTF these agencies are ready for mobilization against the US citizenry. Very disturbing, not to mention illegal as he]].
I always ask where those weapons and ammo have been stored, and no one ever answers me. I mostly get blank stares.
The US killed between 4 and 11 million civilians over the years. We were involved in over 50 coups since WW2. Now 350,000 dead Ukrainian soldiers.
There are no policies that are too depraved for our leaders.
Ah, “nation building” has such an idealistic feel to it….
Hey… gotta break a few eggs if you want to “spread Democracy”… and 10 million dead humans is a small price to pay…
Right… the US will fight until the last Ukrainian is dead.
No way to know how many civilians the U.S. killed with its senseless wars, other than a bunch.
When asked about cluster bomb Zelensky replied”we will use them responsibly “. Can’t make this stuff up.
“We will use them responsibly” said the man who destroyed the Russian pipeline to Europe and dropped a bomb on Poland while blaming that debacle on Putin.
And… don’t forget the bombing of the Kakhovka hydroelectric dam.
And the assaults on the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant and all the efforts to set the stage for false flagged dirty bomb attack to open the bottle of the nuclear genie.
Liberals, their buddies, and anyone associated with them merely change definitions when something becomes problematic.
Sorta like the CDC emails that were released when they complained that people were (correctly!) using the CDC’s OWN definition of “vaccine” against them, and it was getting to be a problem.
They simply changed the definition of “vaccine” and voted to approve everyone getting it the next day…..
So, once these cluster bombs start getting used, and they will, when it becomes problematic they will merely say they *ARE* using them “responsibly” and will change the definition of “responsibly” to meet their needs and that will be the end of that from the perspective of democrats and particularly their allies in the media, and by that, I mean pretty much all of the media.
I am not wrong.
No, your not. Conmunists do NOT have ANY “Ideology” I have been saying all along its just a con.
Heard a conversation recently pointing out the marxists ARE the Capitalists they have been raving about all these years.
They have no belief system, other than “I get all of the stuff, power, money, property etc. and you shut up.”
Patrick…: We need common sense cluster bomb deployment.
Cluster bomb Czar.
Besides they look pretty with his anal wart clusters.😖😖🤮
2016…
Lindsey Graham and John McCain in Ukraine
Preparing for a proxy war with Russia
(1:12)
President Trump winning the election stopped their plan.
Unless it’s a “keep your enemies closer” kind of ploy, I can’t for the life of me understand why Trump still plays nicey nicey with Graham.
Keep your enemies close real close!
Trump is the greatest exposer of all time!!
Keep them in the limelight don’t let them go back into the woodwork.
Front and center that’s the greatest sunlight of all!!
Senator Klobachar and former Ambassador Yovanovitch right there with them.
I glanced at your first sentence and I thought that it said “John Mkraine”. It fits.
I really don’t understand why Donald Trump continues to allow this diseased criminal anywhere near his orbit
Agreed, and that quality is the major question about Trump imo.
Major question? Then go vote RDS with all the questionable people supporting him!
Reason and logic require we look at strength and weakness, evaluate where improvements are needed, make the improvements, analyze the results.
Emotional immaturity dictates knee-jerk reactionary responses, giving the enemy a much needed opening.
If Lindsey was NOT at the Pickens rally, millions of people would not have heard his SC constituents BOO him!
President Trump put Lindsey front and center, where he could hear, the ire towards him from We the People.
a bizarre scene in Pickens, SC last week with Grahamnesty being booed offstage as Trump watched…. WTH is he thinking having this crazed weirdo near him?
I think you know..
What better way for Lindsey to be in a position where he HAD to listen and be confronted with the contempt of his own SC constituents toward him?
To answer your naive question, making nasty tradeoffs within the system is the only alternative to destroying the system. You expect Trump to play Spartacus and ride into DC at the head of a plebe army? Please. We’re probably getting close to the time when all lawful options have been exhausted, but this is the second Cold War. And just like in the first one, we have to steel ourselves to using people on the basis of occasional shared interest — even when we loathe them.
Yes. One would think that the booing from the audience alone might have given him a clue.
No Lyndsey, the best way to prevent wars and promote peace is to get rid of politicians like you.
Miss Lindsay was booed off the stage in his home state. Do you think he noticed? Do you think he cares? He is a disgrace and the good people of SC need to dump him.
DC is Lindsay’s home. He despises his SC constituents as much as the rest of us.
Graham despises his constituents in SC, almost as much as they despise him.
And, in order to “dump” Graham, his constituents would have had to elect a Senator far to the left of AOC, cause thats what the Dem party ran against him in his last election.
Which the Dems did, in order to insure Lindsey would be reelected.
Its how the Uniparty has played us, for years hence the UNDERLIEING, FUNDAMENTAL elaection fraud isn’t ballots or machines, its the illusion of choice of Uniparty-D vs Uniparty-R, a false choice cause either way, Uniparty wins and they don’t care.
Well, the SC people said,
” Back atcha”!!
It is the Soros philosophy. No borders and one community therefore no wars.
Lindsey is smoking mushroom clouds.
Graham loves the smell of smoldering corpses in the morning.
It would be more helpful if there were some guarantees that the U.S. would think twice before starting wars all around the globe.
Lol. “Security Guarantees.” Just like the ones Germany gave to Austria in the early 1900’s…
The primary mission of Lucifers Children is to bring as much death,misery and darkness into this world as they possibly can. By the time President Trump is due to take up residence at the White House there will so much demonic presence there, there cannot possibly be enough exorcisms to cleanse the place. Better to knock it down,grade it off and salt the ground and put up toxic waste site signs.
I’m fine with that !
Mike…: Sea salt.
Does Joe Xide n even live in the White House?
Barry’s nearby residence is the command center for mayhem on America.
Is there something they are not telling us. Time for another distraction.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_on_Cluster_Munitions
Right… and the U.S. isn’t supposed to be engaged in R&D of Biological Weapons, either… another Moral Superiority fail…
The pResident is a War Criminal!
“Unstable minds”. Them are some scary words.
Do tell…
So, who are the war criminals now?
I am quite certain they’ve been sent and are in use already.
There is exactly ZERO reason for the US to be involved in that conflict.
Unless you are a politician and enjoy the money, then there is plenty reason. It is all quite sickening.
Obviously, an evil act of desperation by a cornered rat. Question: we can blab about this online from the comfort of our own homes knowing that these weapons will fall elsewhere. I wonder if the calculus of resistance would change dramatically if those weapons were unleashed on us. Just curious.
In my opinion has nothing to do with “Cluster Bombs” …..The reality that is facing Washington and the WEST as a whole is about the “Collapse” of the financial system. The FED, Wall St, ECB, and the bunch in London have literally STOLEN TRILLIONS of dollars from the working class and have off the books DEBT in the QUADRILLIONS…..The rest of the world is fed up with US starting WARS all over the planet and using the SWIFT ( money ) system to coerce the results of the Multi National Corporations. We are no longer a Republic at the moment, in order to maintain POWER the elites who control our government, and our politicians, think Lindsey Graham and that RUBE Dick Blumenthal ( Except DJT ) will beg for WWIII in order to wipe away the DEBT and maintain control…..If a few BILLION civilian casualties occur, well, its the cost of doing business……Nothing short of another 1776 can undue the ROT and CORRUPTION that permeates our government……Things are never what they seem. Prayers to all my fellow TREEPERS!
Sad, very sad but probably true.
🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦 Deliveries of cluster munitions were forced, there was no ammunition left in American warehouses – retired intelligence officer Scott Ritter
“By supplying these munitions to Ukraine, we are making their army less effective than if it used conventional high-explosive fragmentation shells. Apart from these cluster bombs, which have been in storage since 2016, the United States has nothing left – this is the real reason for this decision. there is nothing more to give,” Ritter told iz.ru.

The Human Thumb who goes by the name “Jake Sullivan” notes that the U.S. is “ramping up production”…
‘Cuz if there’s one thing this world doesn’t have enough of, it’s Rockets ‘N Bombs…

Different defense contractors are hiring back retirees to increase production, they are getting so low on stored weapons and ammo.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/raytheon-asks-retirees-help-making-141101632.html
Sounds like Joe is setting the U.S for China to slide right in when ready, what with the SPDR is now near empty. We have a shortage of parts and Joe gave away what was in Afghanistan. A military that cannot get recruits Joe starts a war we can no longer build all we need to go war and he is trying to pull a two front deal? We are so screwed.
Putin should bomb the NATO summit into oblivion! That would end the war, and the WEF!
I keep hoping Putin will save us, because we sure aren’t going to be saving ourselves.

When you’ve been allowed to get away with The Crime of the Century, there’s literally nothing you can’t do.
Cluster munitions have already been used by both sides in this war.
It’s desperation time.
Understand what Sullivan said.
The much-ballyhooed Uke spring offensive was an utter failure. They’ve made some meaningless advances but they’ve paid a huge cost in blood for every centimeter. The Russian army sat back and blasted them with air power and artillery, and now it’s time for the reckoning.
Putin doesn’t want a direct confrontation with NATO. He wants the buffer between his borders and NATO, as was promised but not delivered on. He also wants to do business with Europe, not fight them.
I expect that after NATO finishes clutching their pearls in Vilnius while Zelensky screams for attention, the Russian army will advance and seek to end this once and for all.
These people are SICK.
Sniff cocaine then order some cluster bombs….fun week at the WH.
Our country is being run by psychopaths.
The butchers bill for first week of July
In 7 days–almost 5,000 KIAs. No wonder then that it is reported now that many VSU soldiers simply refuse to attack and prefer to sit in trenches without moving–totally understandable.
And refuse to get into Western supplied Bradleys and tanks – they have a huge bullseye on them for Russian troops and are easy to kill.
Sure knocks the bottom out of the Afghanistan used tank market.
Russia put a bounty for each Leopard
destroyed or captured.
If I am not mistaken….bounties are
on other Western equipment also.
A Storm Shadow was just recovered recently…
already taken to Russian labs to determine
how to create an “antidote “ ….and remanufacture
to make it better for their use.
Have to admit…..it’s a pretty good
incentive for the Russian troops.
Not long ago I read that Zel is asking the Red Cross for help because they can’t keep up w/the need and demand for medical supplies, too many wounded to care for.
Write to your representatives. They are preparing to get us into a war
Write to your representatives.
ha ha, that’s very funny.
You think they’re gonna listen to the plebes?
Their MIC campaign contributors come first.
Don’t make fun of someone who is willing to do something. Other than uprising, this is our best chance to be heard. A thousand letters gets someone’s attention; 5000 letters may get the representative to think twice. We still have the vote (in most places).
Then we’d better get on with the uprising.
Sounds like the West is running out of munitions if they have to resort to a stockpile of leftover cluster bombs. This is a sign that Putin is winning. Go get ’em Joe! No, over there.
Was reported this AM that Western 155 mm artillery howitzer shells have been depleted.
Poking the bear by “unstable” US leadership on day 900 of the resistance. Who dreams up a cluster bomb?
Big question: Will Zelenskyy be bringing his own bag of cocaine to the meeting?Or will it be a cluster bag—something for everyone?
“NATO discussing what additional reforms Ukraine must make” only means the corruption hasn’t been fully established for all the players including The Big Guy.
This is not a good optic for FJB or the United States.

Foreign Affairs; Now a Word From X by Thomas L. Friedman
His voice is a bit frail now, but the mind, even at age 94, is as sharp as ever. So when I reached George Kennan by phone to get his reaction to the Senate’s ratification of NATO expansion it was no surprise to find that the man who was the architect of America’s successful containment of the Soviet Union and one of the great American statesmen of the 20th century was ready with an answer.
“I think it is the beginning of a new cold war,” said Mr. Kennan from his Princeton home. ”I think the Russians will gradually react quite adversely and it will affect their policies. I think it is a tragic mistake. There was no reason for this whatsoever. No one was threatening anybody else. This expansion would make the Founding Fathers of this country turn over in their graves. We have signed up to protect a whole series of countries, even though we have neither the resources nor the intention to do so in any serious way. [NATO expansion] was simply a light-hearted action by a Senate that has no real interest in foreign affairs.”
“What bothers me is how superficial and ill informed the whole Senate debate was,” added Mr. Kennan, who was present at the creation of NATO and whose anonymous 1947 article in the journal Foreign Affairs, signed ”X,” defined America’s cold-war containment policy for 40 years. ”I was particularly bothered by the references to Russia as a country dying to attack Western Europe. Don’t people understand? Our differences in the cold war were with the Soviet Communist regime. And now we are turning our backs on the very people who mounted the greatest bloodless revolution in history to remove that Soviet regime.
“And Russia’s democracy is as far advanced, if not farther, as any of these countries we’ve just signed up to defend from Russia,” said Mr. Kennan, who joined the State Department in 1926 and was U.S. Ambassador to Moscow in 1952. ”It shows so little understanding of Russian history and Soviet history. Of course there is going to be a bad reaction from Russia, and then [the NATO expanders] will say that we always told you that is how the Russians are — but this is just wrong.”
One only wonders what future historians will say. If we are lucky they will say that NATO expansion to Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic simply didn’t matter, because the vacuum it was supposed to fill had already been filled, only the Clinton team couldn’t see it. They will say that the forces of globalization integrating Europe, coupled with the new arms control agreements, proved to be so powerful that Russia, despite NATO expansion, moved ahead with democratization and Westernization, and was gradually drawn into a loosely unified Europe. If we are unlucky they will say, as Mr. Kennan predicts, that NATO expansion set up a situation in which NATO now has to either expand all the way to Russia’s border, triggering a new cold war, or stop expanding after these three new countries and create a new dividing line through Europe.
But there is one thing future historians will surely remark upon, and that is the utter poverty of imagination that characterized U.S. foreign policy in the late 1990’s. They will note that one of the seminal events of this century took place between 1989 and 1992 — the collapse of the Soviet Empire, which had the capability, imperial intentions and ideology to truly threaten the entire free world. Thanks to Western resolve and the courage of Russian democrats, that Soviet Empire collapsed without a shot, spawning a democratic Russia, setting free the former Soviet republics and leading to unprecedented arms control agreements with the U.S.
And what was America’s response? It was to expand the NATO cold-war alliance against Russia and bring it closer to Russia’s borders.
Yes, tell your children, and your children’s children, that you lived in the age of Bill Clinton and William Cohen, the age of Madeleine Albright and Sandy Berger, the age of Trent Lott and Joe Lieberman, and you too were present at the creation of the post-cold-war order, when these foreign policy Titans put their heads together and produced . . . a mouse.
We are in the age of midgets. The only good news is that we got here in one piece because there was another age — one of great statesmen who had both imagination and courage.
As he said goodbye to me on the phone, Mr. Kennan added just one more thing: “This has been my life, and it pains me to see it so screwed up in the end.””…….
We have paid the L’il Dictator Zelensky to maim and murder a million Ukrainians, a continuation of the Virus/Vaxx Genocide.
All in hopes of installing yet another Soros/Bankster Dictatorship over Russia like the ones in Europe, Canada, Ukraine and the US.
Psalm 97
The Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice;
let the many coastlands be glad!
2
Clouds and thick darkness are all around him;
righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3
Fire goes before him
and burns up his adversaries all around.
4
His lightnings light up the world;
the earth sees and trembles.
5
The mountains melt like wax before the Lord,
before the Lord of all the earth.
6
The heavens proclaim his righteousness,
and all the peoples see his glory.
7
All worshipers of images are put to shame,
who make their boast in worthless idols;
worship him, all you gods!
8
Zion hears and is glad,
and the daughters of Judah rejoice,
because of your judgments, O Lord.
9
For you, O Lord, are most high over all the earth;
you are exalted far above all gods.
10
O you who love the Lord, hate evil!
He preserves the lives of his saints;
he delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
11
Light is sown for the righteous,
and joy for the upright in heart.
12
Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous,
and give thanks to his holy name!
Amen and Amen!
Rest in the Vine: George F. Kennan and The Limits of Your F*cking Bullshit, Pal
Election coming up need a breakthrough
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/cluster-bombs-are-a-tragic-necessity-for-ukraine-ex-ambassador/ar-AA1dAtMh
President Joe Biden’s controversial decision to send cluster munitions to Ukraine is a “tragic necessity” in Kyiv’s fight against Russia’s invasion, according to Michael McFaul, former U.S. ambassador to Russia.
“I’ve advocated for the US to sign the international agreement banning cluster munitions in the past,” McFaul tweeted Friday evening. “I also support this decision today.
“Progress has been slow, difficult, and without sustained breakthroughs thus far,” Kofman added in reference to Ukraine’s counteroffensive.
“Consequently, Ukraine’s hardest limit is probably not manpower, or equipment, but arty ammunition,” he continued. “This is foremost about the numbers. Providing DPICM gives access to a sizable stockpile of artillery ammo that can alleviate the time pressure on [Ukraine] operations.”
Michael McFaul was kicked out of Russia
years ago.
Other articles I have read in the past…..
Russia basically said McFaul was trying
to start a Color Revolution.
Would explain why McFaul is absolutely
rabid about anything Russian.

Just deserts.
Biden/Obama is going to kill many many innocent Americans and other foreigners to keep the money laundering going. These are crimes against humanity and God.
Russia will be using these bombs against Ukrainian citizens after six weeks of their use. Brain dead has no business in office that he stole.
It’s like the clearance bin at Walmart for the US stockpile. Gets rid of worthless merchandise that can be counted as money needed for new munitions for our inventory.
Not to far in the distant future easy to predict Zelenskyy will be ordered by his masters to unleash them on his own people and then blame it on Putin. Same masters that ordered our corrupt government to give the cluster bombs to Ukraine.
Prescient
War Crimes tribunal, anyone?
Serious question here.
How often does Z engineer losses to get NATO to escalate support?
“See? Just tanks aren’t good enough. We need planes and cluster bombs.’
He hasn’t triggered WWIII, despite bombing Poland and attacking Russia multiple times, but every time he loses, he gets deadlier weapons of war.
He is an actor, not a military genius. The puppets controlling Biden control him, too.
Why is it so important to destroy Russia? Why is Ukraine so valuable to the deep state? Why defend a Country that harvest grain, I am thinking that it is not Russia they are after but to safeguard Ukraine. For what. They would have destroyed any evidence already. Is there something else we are missing? Is it Russia flipping the bird to the west. Is the conspiracies real and we dont have a clue how deep it goes. It just does not make sense why. I know that Ukraine will receive money and weopons as long as they need it just to keep Russia in the war. If America is at war with another Country, does that mean that there will be no elections at home. Starting a war with Russia will exonarate the “Deep ‘mocrat’ state” and Rinos for a while until they will come up with the next fix to stay in power. I think they are keeping the war alive just to enter it next year before the all important election.
The American Mafioso did a takeover of the Soviet Union after it collapsed. All the Big Guys wanted their cut too. But they bungled the Russian takeover and were kicked out.
Now they are using the ‘cons, a group that still thinks they can win the cold war, to return to power.
Why destroy Russia? That is a simple answer. Money and greed.
The west wants control of Russia’s vast riches in commodities.
To get control of them Russia as a nation must be destroyed.
Problem is The west bit off far more than it can chew this time. The west is choking and gagging with a big bone in its throat.
Russia will not be destroyed. They still remember the lessons learned in World War Two.
Centuries old hatred & lust for revenge from a displaced & ‘disenfranchised’ group of former inhabitants against the group that did the displacement and disenfranchisement with spiritual overtones.
IMHO in the end it will not be this war that does in the West. The West shot themselves in the foot with their sanctions program and extended it way over the top. At the same time they are crippling oil production and without abundant oil supplies the economy and the war machine will not be sustainable. The West also depends on China for a lot of critical items the military machine needs. The spirit of the West is also being crushed by degeneracy and flooded by third world people with very low IQs and a propensity for violence.
Other nations now see the U.S. Empire correctly as lawless and unreliable. That is why you have BRICS becoming more and more powerful. In time they will have their own gold backed currency and the dollar will die. The West has already lost the broader economic war. The BRICS will most likely have a military alliance at some point. It will be vastly more powerful than the Warsaw Pact.
As far as the cluster munitions it is a sign that the West is running out of other types of munitions to send to Ukraine. I doubt it ever crosses the mind of the sociopaths in charge but they should consider that Russian stockpiles of cluster munitions dwarfs the West’s stockpiles.
The leaders of the U.S./NATO have allowed people like Victoria Nuland and the rest of the Kagan cult to start another unwinnable war and in the process caused hundreds of thousands of deaths. It should be obvious by now that the neocons serve a foreign elite and not America. I read an article last week that outlined how nervous Israel is getting with the global situation. They should be. Israel wanted this war. If that were not so Victoria Nuland, Antony Blinken and all of the other dual citizen but not dual loyalty neocons and their followers would not be for the war.
So Israel should be very concerned. Saudi Arabia is starting to wise up and distance themselves from the West and Israel and started rapprochement with Iran. Like Chechnya before they now realize that they have been used. The U.S. is losing its’ conventional war making capability so who will Israel get to fight their wars? Notice the U.S. just “sold” some more F-35s to Israel. Of course the funds will be taken form our massive aid package so really we bought the F-35s for them.
Some call the U.S. Empire the “GAE”, Global American Empire. I think it would be more useful to call it what it actually is:
” Babylon the Great.”
George,
I’m not familiar with you but I will have to say that your analytic deductions are more than just plausible.
This was a very powerful statement you just made.
The only thing that I see to question is the Saudi angle.
Historically, the Saudis have considered the ‘Israelis’ as their brothers. There is an unacknowledged genealogical reason for that and explains why they’ve never fought each other. They also are known for betrayal and playing both sides.
The Persians and Turkic descended tribes have been enemies for centuries.
Saul’s failure to obey divine instructions three millennia ago still plagues the world.
Well the Saudis could try to straddle the fence and just slowly cut ties with the West and try to maintain ties with Israel. It looks to me like the Saudis have calculated that the West is not to be trusted. They must have also concluded that the U.S. and Europe are vassals of Israel or something pretty close.
With that in mind I am not sure the same Saudi- Israeli relationship that has existed can remain. But like always, I am just one guy and we all have opinions. I could be very wrong.
You might be right. Wasn’t criticizing your thought.
On the contrary, I was impressed with your thoughts and apparent study of history (central Asian steppes).
That history goes much further back in time to the Levant and the genealogical connection. I assure you those parties are aware of that connection.
That’s my reason for the caution on the Saudi – ‘Israeli’ connection. Neither are what they claim to be. Both are related.
You seem to know a lot more about that area than I do. I just sit on my front porch and watch the world crash.
Have not read all the posts yet, so this is likely a repeat.
The US is a signatory to a US Senate ratified treaty to not use, sale nor manufacture cluster munitions. My memory is a a bit fuzzy but this may include the most numerous type of cluster munition in the US Military, the US Army’s cannon launched 155mm DPIC as well as the similar munitions for the MLRS The US and NATO have supplied large numbers of 155mm Artillery Gun-Howitzers and MLRS Launchers to the Ukraine.
US Senate ratified treaties have the force of Federal Law … so where are those folks who kick MTG out of the Freedom Caucus or those outrage Republican senators?? … just sayin’
Using cluster weapons will be little help for Ukraine. If anything it will only increase Ukraine casualties
Russia is not a signatory on the ban. Russia has far more, and more powerful cluster weapons than the US can possibly supply Ukraine with. Russia also has air dominance to deliver these terrible weapons anywhere they want to in Ukraine. Ukraine can only shoot these weapons out of 155mm Howitzers with a short limited range.
If Ukraine uses these cluster weapons. Russia will rain all hell down on The Ukraine.
FJB sending cluster weapons is total madness. It shows utter desperation on the USA/NATO side. Clutching at straws for any hope of winning, Their stupid, demented, unwinnable war.
Keep in mind the statement by Lindsey Graham, a few weeks ago. The purpose of the war is not to protect the Ukraine but “to kill Russians”. Any territorial changes is a bonus in the minds of the US lead G7 and NATO.
[Note: that until very recent times Ukrainians were Russians.]
Indiscriminant use of Cluster Munitions will drive up the body count.
Where’s Jane Fonda when we need her!

Civilian collateral damage?? Are there any civilians left? Kinda late, huh?
Good G od! Seriously, cluster bombs being supplied by America! G 0d is shedding His tears on what was once this great nation. My prayer today is that His Holy Vengeance is upon this administration.
