The narration by the reporter on video in the article does nothing but stenography for US warmonger leadership spokespeople. There is no push-back. There is no outsider opinion counterbalancing the propaganda coming from the US gov.

THIS IS A HUGE MISTAKE!

Have you thought about telling the DNC to either have primary debates, or you'll endorse/join @CornelWest? It could force their hand, even though I don't think they'll let you or RFK have a fair shot in the primaries.

@JoeBiden made the right decision to supply cluster munitions to Ukraine. Cluster bombs have been used by Putin for over a year to slaughter innocent Ukrainian 🇺🇦 civilians. This will be saving Ukrainian lives when the main offensive begins. #SlavaUkraïni themoscowtimes.com/2023/07/0…

Russia Says U.S. Cluster Bombs for Ukraine Show 'Weakness'

Washington's decision to supply Ukraine with cluster munitions is an "act of desperation" that will have no effect on Moscow's campaign in Ukraine, Russia's Foreign Ministry said on Saturday.

Please see this political philosophers take on this nitter.vloup.ch/VladVexler/statu… The military necessity and the priority is clear. It is irresponsible to not be fully informed before voicing an opinion on this issue. I expect better from you.

In my capacity as a moral philosopher - The Q isn't whether it is just or morally unambiguous for the US to send cluster munitians to Ukraine. The Q is whether it is military necessary - and whether that necessity outweighs all other political considerations. A thread. 1/12

Will you support the Biden White House reversing it's policy of using cluster bombs? How will this affect your up coming endorsement of the Biden reelection bid?

Ridiculous. How often did you speak up about cluster munitions killing Ukrainians and the ruZZians using them in residential areas?

You never once criticized russia's use of cluster weapons against civilians in Syria or Ukraine. It is only now, when Ukraine would use cluster weapons against russian soldiers, you start clutching pearls.

Also, if you've suddenly only started to talk about cluster munition use now instead of the multiple times they've been used on civilian areas in Ukraine and Syria over the past decade, then its safe to assume your primary concern isn't cluster munition use.

simp - ukraine is low on ammo, so it will take apart our cluster bombs, put the 72 bomblets on to 72 drones, and drop each one on russian orcs so they die in the ditches they dug on ukraine's own soil. ukraine does not have the air force to deliver cluster bombs like russia does.
