Both Joe Biden [VIDEO HERE] and Senator Chris Coons [VIDEO HERE] were interviewed as part of the Sunday talk circuit just before the upcoming NATO summit. The message from both voices were similar as part of the larger geopolitical discussion, so I’m blending them into one review.
On the subject of Ukraine seeking NATO membership the key democrats gave the same explanation and justification, although Biden mumbled a little more alarmingly. Biden, speaking to the Dept of State narrative engineers on CNN, noted there can be no discussion of Ukraine entering NATO as long as the war with Russia is ongoing. From Biden’s perspective if NATO accepted Ukraine now, then all of NATO would immediately need to enter the war with Russia.
What Biden and Coons did not say was that if NATO opened the door to Ukraine now, the interests of Russia would immediately change. If NATO was to make immediate announcements of Ukraine membership, Russia would be stupid not to expand the war immediately and begin the process of taking all of Ukraine instead of the eastern Russian speaking section bordering the homeland.
On the subject of sending cluster bombs to Ukraine, both Biden and Coons admitted something that would not ordinarily be discussed in public circles. Ukraine is almost out of 155mm artillery shells and the U.S. stockpile we have used to support them is now gone. It will take more than several months to manufacture and resupply our own military stores, let alone support the needs of Ukraine. As a consequence, 155mm cluster bombs are being supplied in lieu of our ability to provide less deadly munitions.
[COONS] – “First, we are running out of 155mm artillery munitions, and they are burning through them at a remarkable rate. Six to eight thousand a day. That’s a million a year. We have a plan to bring back online the manufacturing of 155mm shells at scale, but that won’t happen for months. They are at risk of losing this counter offensive if they run out of their shells. We have a large stockpile of 155mm shells that are cluster munitions. It’s the Ukrainians who are asking to be able to use these on their own soil. They’ve committed to monitoring their use to remediating them after the war. And frankly, they will be tactically helpful against dug-in Russian troops that are behind large minefields. So weighing all of those factors, the President made a tough call that I will support.” (more)
[BIDEN] – […] “we’re in a situation where Ukraine continues to be brutally attacked across the board by munitions — by these cluster munitions that are — have dud rates that are very, very low — I mean, very high, that are a danger to civilians, number one.
Number two, the Ukrainians are running out of ammunition, the ammunition — they used to call them 155-millimeter weapons. This is a — this is a war relating to munitions. And they’re running out of those — that ammunition. And we’re low on it.” (read more)
Ordinarily in a time of war one might not expect to see public discussion of ammo supplies; alas, in the era of World War Reddit, it seems not to be an issue.
On the subject of China, I think this is the first time when Joe Biden has said publicly, that after the Xi-Putin summit, Biden threatened Chairman Xi Jinping with unilateral action to remove U.S. corporations and investment from China if Xi was to openly assist Russian President Putin. At least that is the Biden claim within the interview.
.
It is disgusting that the interloper is supplying cluster bombs to the Ukraine. Cluster bombs always kill, maim, and destroy civilians. May G od have mercy on our nation for this despicable decision.
2024 steal is your chance.
you vote to make the steal more obvious
you sunlight to get more people invested or NOT INVESTED IN the coming standoff.
The only one God needs to show mercy to are the people in charge who are making these dangerous decisions. We the People do not have the power to enact policy. Our votes don’t even count enough to sway them. They steamroll ahead with total impunity irregardless of the results or consequences .
Why would God show mercy to the dangerously deranged heathens who are “making these dangerous decisions?”
Does this also mean the USA also does not have enough munitions to defend itself if attacked?
We could be fully supplied and this coup would order standdown
You are approaching the target…
Exactly whet they’re saying.
For all the talk of this or that kind of weaponry, the crucial question is why do we have such an incompetent and idiotic person making these decisions??!!
We really don’t know who is making these decisions. I suspect that it is whoever is controlling obama. If we could follow it clear back, we would probably find satan.
at least 5 “weather” balloons from china that were allowed to spy on the most important nuclear sites suggest that the USG is not ready, not prepared, and does not take the threats it faces seriously.
the open borders letting all manner of criminals and drug and sex traffic happens directly proves the USG is not serious about defending against enemies foreign and domestic.
that perverts are allowed to wear the uniform proves the military is not ready and is not taking its DUTY seriously.
that the joe malarkey circus refuses to even develop a negotiated settlement between ukr and rus proves it risks the threat of nuclear war against all reason and logic.
we ARE AT WAR….THE USGoverment is failing…badly.
stay frosty…there are no white horses coming to save you and me. We are ON OUR OWN!
President Trump 2024. MAGA
God Bless America
Depends on the type of weaponry under consideration.
It does surprise that many folks never connected the dots vis basic ammo supply (think gun control/bullets) and the early, largely unaudited, funding initiatives as the Ukraine War neared and ramped up. It’s not as though the Obama administration didn’t try to achieve the same thing (ammo scarcity) using different tools.
Yes
Joe is telling the Chinese that we don’t have enough ammunition to defend Taiwan.
BiNGO
why would we want to defend Taiwan anyway?
It is possible that the next election in Taiwan will elect a party that wants to
officially announce themselves part of China – which Taiwan has been forever.
What difference does the status of Taiwan do to our military security?
We have a trade imbalance with China – we ship over goods worth about $1 billion something and
they ship to our goods worth about $5 billion something.
IMO, China wants to trade with us and, as for us, what will we buy if we do not trade with China?
Have you looked in your closet or your entire house lately? Almost everything we buy is made in China.
I mean really.
Brenrod …shhhh the homeland needs you to not even whisper such things.
We can always go back to Afgjanistan and pick up a few thousand pallets
This is a better idea we get to get rid of a munitions that people would get mad at us for using and put in an order for 4 or 5 million shells at Vietnam Era production rates
Satan is pleased
FJB F them all
Loose lips sink ships, comrade Brenrod.
Your social media accounts have been disabled.
Thanks for playing.
That’s exactly what it means and china knows it.
The biggest news to come out of this was “NO NATO membership”. This is just a couple of days after the secret US/Russian talks which shows a sudden shift. The present American War Mongers see they have no path to victory. This Criminal War on our part has led to huge population shifts, undermined the dollar around the world and brought us all to the brink of world wide nuclear war. All this after stealing an election.
Satan works in dastardly ways his curses to perform.
You are right. Until we are brave enough to call out the demons for who they are nothing will change. This will be a long slog.
All this after stealing an election
TWO elections … Ukraine in 2014 also
OMG, the comments in the xiden video. They really are a glimpse into the minds of the democrat voter.
step out the FAKETRIX
those are not real people.
Next Biden will approve the sending MOAB
Not a chance. Any Aircraft attempting to deliver the MOAB would be shot down long before it reaches the front lines.
I totally agree.
It’s Joe that you need to inform
AGAIN…PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS AND IS RIGHT!! This occupant fool in our white house AND his monkeys are 100% IDIOTS!!!!!!!
Planned prior to election.
Monkeys would be smarter.
His line was no providing air munitions. or he would declare it a nuclear offence.
Biden admitted that and walked back every utter of it for the last year – now he changed.
I wonder just how effective Ukraine’s artillery is. The munitions expended do not seem to be producing measurable results. For the amount of artillery fire Ukraine should be littered with burning Russian armored vehicles and body parts. Reminds me of Arab troops burning ammo shooting downrange in the general direction of a possible threat without a real target. Very poor fire discipline.
Are the Ukrainians just using artillery to make noise, unobserved fire to “suppress” the Russians?
my guess. its for the camera behind them to put on CNN
A range of different opinions out
there regarding inefficiency of Ukraine.
Underestimating the strength of Russia.
The lack of trained forces and leadership.
The lack of air support.
The hodgepodge of weapons and munitions.
No logistical support.
In other words….it’s just a major
cluster…..
Plus, according to Ukrainian General Zalushny
Russian is “outgunning “ them 10:1.
He stated that in recent interview with WAPO.
Russia has had stockpile of artillery munitions
since the beginning of the conflict.
Along with the mobilization
of Russian troops last fall,
Russia put their manufacturing
plants at War production and are churning
out weapons and munitions 24/7.
Many reports are that Russia is now
producing more weapons and munitions
than the U.S.,NATO and EU combined.
Russia has become even more powerful
militarily than before the conflict.
The war is lost. Zelenskyy is not going to negotiate until every Ukrainian is dead. We should stop supplying weapons, force peace talks, and agree in writing NO membership in NATO
Sort of like when Joe thought bombing the Nordstream gas lines would harm or hinder the Russians. All he succeeded undoing was driving up the price of natural gas, increasing the Russians profit levels and making natural gas more expensive and unavailable in Europe and North America. Way to go Joe!
Soviet doctrine relied heavily on artillery. It makes sense the Russians have lots of cannons and mountains of munitions. If the Russians are anything like us they’re still shooting shells built during the Cold War.
I attended artillery school at Fort Sill, OK in 1988. According to our instructor we were still using powder produced during WW II. There was that much of it stockpiled, even after Vietnam.
What’s a 155 go for on the black market….there is your answer
Probably zero. Who wants a 155mm except for people who own a 155mm howitzer?
“I think this is the first time when Joe Biden has said publicly, that after the Xi-Putin summit, Biden threatened Chairman Xi Jinping with unilateral action to remove U.S. corporations and investment from China if Xi was to openly assist Russian President Putin. At least that is the Biden claim within the interview.”
Translation: Obiden asked Xi for permission to look tough. Xi has films of this puppet assaulting children. Obiden will do as he’s told.
Subtext: Biden begs Xi to not embarrass him, keep assistance to Russia on the down low.
Basic war planning involves planning for munitions. It is absolutely mind boggling that OBiden did not ramp up production a year ago, unless of course the objective is to drain our munitions.
Like our strategic oil reserves?
Like the strategic pullout from Afghanistan?
I am not sure if it was State Department or Pentagon
that did say during press conference
at beginning of conflict…..
that Wars are now won by who has the best “story”.
I remember Sundance and his article which
included the clip.
That one press conference highlighted then
the absolute incompetence of those in
DC.
Who needs munitions when you can
win because you have a better “story “?
And they’ve been telling us one heck of a story about this war. Too bad it’s easy to see through the lies.
The Ukraine war cheerleaders seem to think that Russia will invade America if they win this. To me, that’s a monumentally stupid idea and I’m sure Putin would agree.
Also, how about our own stockpile of ammo? Are we giving them cluster bombs because that’s all we have to spare now? How ready are we to deal with China, if the need arises. To me, they’re a much much bigger threat than Russia and we’re just driving them into each other’s arms with our stupid foreign policies.
Putin could of sank Ukraine months ago.
this is his strategy of winning people over by not being the killer.
and draining us dry via laundering.
International law forbids the use of cluster bombs…PERIOD! At what point will this corn husk sock puppet be taken to task on what he says and the following repercussions?
Xiden dances to the globalist strings that control him and they want, along with our ignorant military industrial complex, WW III. he needs a war to continue the cash rolling in thru Ukraine. Tell me where I’m wrong
they are the LAW now.
.
So if Bribem gets the Ukes to use them will the international law community charge him and Zelensky with war crimes?
Of course not, that’s only for “Republicans” or “conservatives” or “nationalists” or “Patriots”. If a “progressive” is doing it, then everything is moral and just simply due to the fact they have the word “Democrat” next to their name and the fake news has effectively ordered them upon threat of total social isolation within their progressive groups, that you do support what fake news supports, or you’re an imbecile!
The ICC is a tool for Communism. It is not a court of any kind, there is no objectivity of any kind in anything they do.
they just gave the world permission to invade us
how else can the Global Party defeat your gun heavy nation.
Notice during questions and answers we never see both Biden and the interviewer face at same time. The images switch from one to the other. I think Biden’s answers were the result of rehearsing and selecting the best presentation. He sounds too good to be true, and therefore isn’t.
Excellent observation.
.
Doesn’t SLO-Joe have his cheat sheets in his hand?
The O’Biden Administration has depleted the treasury, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, and now our ammo!
They are a danger to our National Security?
In addition to being mentally incompetent, Joe is malignant and perverse: a real trifecta of evil.
Cluster weapons are an act of desperation. They did not work for the USA to win the war in South East Asia/ Vietnam. They wont work in Ukraine. All they will do is kill Ukrainians.
Russia has counter measures. All they have to do is step up the intensity of the conflict and aggressively target western arms. Without 155mm barrels to shoot cluster munition from. The cluster munitions Biden sends are useless. It will sit in an ammo dump till Russia targets it and blows it up. Just like they did with the DU ammo England sent for its Challenger Tanks. (Which have yet to be used in battle in The Ukraine)
Not only is Ukraine suffering from a lack of ammo. They also don’t have enough 155 mm weapons the shoot the ammo from. Much of the 155mm howitzers the west has sent have been destroyed or are worn out.
During Ukraine’s so called counter offensive over the last month. Russia has targeted Western armor to the extent that Ukraine does not want to use it. Ukraine solders are calling Bradley IFVs “Death Traps” and they have not been using the “Wonder Weapon” western tanks in their attacks lately.
Like everything else biden does. Sending these banned munitions to Ukraine will be a disaster. Russia will only get stronger as the West continues to weaken.
100 bucks that this entire “interview” was edited probably 50 times…not live…and many parts removed entirely.
I cannot possibly be convinced the senile navel gazing ambulatory moron white house squatter patholigical liar and idiot could hold a conversation longer than 20 seconds without going full retard.
I also noticed that the camera does not pan wide to include both figures in a frame. This tells me that many parts of this interview were reprogrammed and “slotted”.
think about how interviews are normally carried…both persons are in the frame…this gives human emotional non verbal communications as the Q&A happens….
this interview is just “too perfect”….there are no hickups.
some say we should be very concerned about deep fakes…AI…etc.
fact is, that propaganda by the main stream maniacs and this administration, the malarkey circus have effected the same dishonesty and inauthenticity….these corruptos are scripting a manipulative narrative and producing fiction….
this is NOT HOW AMERICA SHOULD WORK.
it’s fraud…lies…deceit..and it’s dangerous.
no one take joe malarkey and the “news” seriously.
think about that carefully….what happens when a central government no longer has the trust of the people…of the world
nothing good, I can tell you.
I cannot wait President Trump to return to his rightful position as our leader! The world needs President Trump.
more than ever!
God Bless America
First of all…this is all low comedy. Obama/Biden are not the initiators – they’re accomplices. We were sold out a long time ago. Those two perps simply took advantage of the situation they were voted/wedged into. Think of them as different shades of DeSantis if that brings clarity. Want some comedy? Ok. So China sells us solar panels and green technologies manufactured using what energy source? Coal! You can’t make this stuff up!
There’s a whole history starting in the 1960s that has led to the current set of economic and foreign policy challenges. The history includes many bad decisions by folks with last names such as Nixon and Bush, Greenspan and Yellen.
Debt monetization/asset bubbles have been in play for a long time. MIC wars have been in play for decades. 1990s/2000s saw inflation tamping (i.e., inflation “management”) by export of jobs and industry to China (i.e., low cost labor and cheaper goods). We made modern China. Now the bills are finally coming due. Too much money printing will do that. We can no longer export inflation. China has massive unproductive internal debt based on US dollars (FOREX reserves) and pegged exchange rates (i.e., the Chinese printed a ton of their own money for internal build of modern factories, etc.). It’s all coming apart as the US economy withers on the vine, US foreign policy fails and the BRICS+ alternative moves into global operational stage.
One has to be careful assigning culpability. Focusing on a few individuals misses the broader aspects of Operation Hoodwink.
Indeed…what to do next is the question of the hour. The challenges are much more daunting than imagined. No easy outs.
The worst part is that CNN sits there knowing Biden cheated and isn’t the legitimate President, Biden sits there knowing he cheated and isn’t the legitimate President, and CNN’s viewers all sit knowing Biden cheated and isn’t the legitimate President – yet the stomach churning Pretense Of It All continues as if there’s nothing at all sinister going on.
The Founders are doing triple summersaults and handstands in their graves (and mostly because the vast majority of citizens are allowing this farce to drag on day after day after day…)
Don’t forget about those weapon storage buildings that o put all over USA controlled by blue helmets
Remember it was Biden who revealed to the world it was Seal Team Six that got Bin Laden. Which resulted in the terrorists targeting them and downing the helicopter “Extortion 17”. The shootdown of Extortion 17, killing 38 people, represents the greatest single-incident loss of American lives in Operation Enduring Freedom – Afghanistan.
Their wars demonstrate how little they actually believe in the climate policy bullsh*t that they force on the world:
…”A report from Dutch carbon accounting expert Lennard de Klerk estimated the first 12 months of the war in Ukraine will trigger a net increase of 120 million tonnes of greenhouse gases, equivalent to the annual output of Singapore, Switzerland and Syria combined.”..
https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/worlds-war-greenhouse-gas-emissions-has-military-blind-spot-2023-07-10/
I think this is only counting fossil fuel emissions, no consideration of munition production, explosions, destruction and reconstruction, etc.
Trying to see if there is a commonality, in distraction.
What is NOT currently being openly discussed when people home in, on the topic of ‘cluster bombs’?
20 years ago,
what was NOT being openly discussed
when people were discussing ‘water boarding’?
Was there 20 years ago, a concern about disclosing the finding of wmd’s, or acknowledging the fibbing about the reasons for afghan, Iraq war?
Is the current reason ( or no good reason ) for battle in ukr being hidden from the public?
[ and cluster whatever, diverts some peoples attention from other battle, or non battle topics ] ?
I do not know
There does seem to be dishonesty in govm’t…
so, currently, what’s really going on with govm’t… that a diversion would help…?
Maybe they should aim the artillery instead of randomly shooting into the dark. Unless the objective is to burn up ammo that would otherwise be used to defend an island off the coast of China….
Biden and “Chrome Dome” Coons would give their first born for a full head of real hair. Remember Rush tagged Joe: “Plugs” Biden for buying the obvious hair transplants. One thing that is universally accepted is that if you could find a cure for cancer or baldness, then you would be the most powerful and wealthiest person on Earth.
From a statement by Sergei Kuzhugetovich Shoigu Minister of Defense of Russia
“ In the case of supplies of American cluster munitions to Ukraine, Russia will begin to use similar ammunition against the AFU. At the moment, Russia refrains from using them. Russia has more than enough of such ammunition”.
Russias statements are usually simple and to the point.
Lets see it is said Russia may have a 10 to 1 artillery advantage over Ukraine. Not only artillery advantage. Russia also has larger air delivered Cluster bombs and missiles. With the capability to deliver them anywhere in The Ukraine. Like maybe Kiev.
Giving Ukraine these munitions is madness. It will only hasten Ukraine’s destruction.
I assume this was not a live interview. Assuming it was taped. That means no information leaked. All information was deliberately broadcast.
More psyops from pathological liars. I don’t even believe the lying psychopaths are giving cluster bombs to the Ukrainians.
There is no ammo shortage and there are no cluster bombs going to Ukraine. All talk.
It is entirely possible that billion dollar bribes have been paid towards the destruction of The United States by all the efforts and results we see today. That and many people feel they are just a good as being smart by pretending to be idiots. It is not outside the realm of possibility. And that really is not good. The probability seems higher due to the intentional anti-curiosity which is modern journalism.
