US president Joe Biden had agreed to send thousands of controversial cluster munitions to Ukraine to use against Russian troops.

Biden defended his decision claiming that Ukraine is running out of ammo and the US is ‘low on the ammunition they need’.

Biden made his comments during a portion of an interview with Washington Post columnist and CNN host Fareed Zakaria that was released on Friday,

Breitbart reports: Biden said, “[I]t was a very difficult decision on my part. And by the way, I discussed this with our allies. I discussed this with our friends up on the Hill. And we’re in a situation where Ukraine continues to be brutally attacked across the board by munitions, by these cluster munitions that have dud rates that are very, very low — I mean, very high, that are a danger to civilians, number one.”

He continued, “Number two, the Ukrainians are running out of ammunition. The ammunition — they call them 155-millimeter weapons. This is a war relating to munitions. And they’re running out of that ammunition, and we’re low on it. And so, what I finally did, I took the recommendation of the Defense Department to, not permanently, but to allow for, in this transition period, while we get more 155 weapons — these shells for the Ukrainians, to provide them with something that has a very low dud rate. … And it’s not used in civilian areas. They’re trying to get through those trenches and stop those tanks from rolling. And so, — but it was not an easy decision. And it’s not — we’re not signatories of that agreement. But, it took me a while to be convinced to do it. But the main thing is, they either have the weapons to stop the Russians now…keep them from stopping the Ukrainian offensive through these areas, or they don’t. And I think they needed them.”

  1. Because , I’m sure , he needs to provoke a direct threat to the US so he can invoke martial law ( despite the fact ameticas been under
    martial law for decades because last time it was invoked they never actually revoked it )but they will just pretend , play make believe as usual , that they need to invoke it ,so them he can cancel the election. If it looks like Trump might not go to jail .
    And they re itching for ww3 anyway but just want to war Russia down slowly Just like they did in 1 and 2 . Let all the others be bombed and killed and starved and then go in playing the Knight in shining Armour. The yanking doodle dandies ,

  2. In Vietnam Washington dropped tons cluster bombs that looked like ballpoint pens, designed to be picked up.

  3. Where are the airplanes from which to drop the cluster bombs? Maybe they can just chuck ’em at the Russians.

  4. Things are getting very bad . Turkeys released prisoners back to Ukraine now and let Sweden’s royal families join NATO Its very bad Lithuanis agent provocateur of China now .The cat in the hat wants a big clambake
    Medvedev a right .Half the world is going to be taken out but if its with Biden as he says I’m not sure But they have made sure Russia has no alternatives but to win at any cost ,and they do hate Americans and Australians and new Zealanders and they don’t like poor people like Indonesians or Indian’s and they racist. They will quite happily provoke wars amongst Asian nations Absolutely .And of course if they get America bombed they get all the Africans too along with the refugees from the south that they drove out of there ,
