Pentagon Now Pushing Cluster Bombs for the Ukraine

Do you remember how much the left whined about cluster bombs in Iraq?

I can remember.

Now, the Democrat Party is pushing for a total genocide of the Russian race, so everything is on the table.

Their chant is literally “by any means necessary” (actually, it is literally “for as long as it takes,” which is just a different phrasing of the same term).

The Pentagon says Ukraine would benefit from US-supplied cluster munitions, claiming they would be effective against Russian fortifications as Kiev presses ahead with its counteroffensive.

Appearing before a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee hearing on Thursday, Pentagon deputy Laura Cooper was asked whether 155-millimeter cluster bombs could help Ukraine to offset Russia’s “quantitative advantage in manpower, armor and artillery.”

“Our military analysts have confirmed that DPICMs would be useful especially against dug-in Russian positions on the battlefield,” Cooper said, referring to the cluster weapons by their formal name, Dual-Purpose Improved Conventional Munitions.

She added that the White House has been unable to meet Kiev’s repeated requests for the bombs due to “existing congressional restrictions” and “concerns about allied unity.”

Cluster bombs carry smaller explosive submunitions which are released in flight and scattered across a target area, typically used against personnel and lightly armored vehicles. However, due to their tendency to leave behind undetonated ‘duds’ – which can remain live in former conflict zones for decades – more than 120 nations have agreed to ban the weapon, including most NATO members.

Not Creepy Uncle Sam.

He is above this, because he embodies morality, as a result of his sexual relationship with kids. He explores the sexuality of children. He is pure good. He can use whatever bombs he likes.

While Washington has not joined the international Convention on Cluster Munitions, Congress passed a law in 2009 which prohibited exports of any cluster bombs with a ‘dud’ rate of more than 1%, which applies to most of the US stockpile. Though the measure effectively bans all foreign transfers of the weapon, President Joe Biden can waive the restriction at any time.

Several Republican lawmakers have urged the White House to do just that, with a group of GOP congressmen and senators telling Biden in March to ignore “vague concerns about the reaction of allies and partners and unfounded fears of ‘escalation.’” Democrats have been less vocal about the issue, but some prominent party members have said the weapons should not be ruled out.

I don’t think the leftists who protested the Iraq stuff are supporting the Ukraine, for the most part. I think most of those people are dead now, and this is a whole separate group of people.

The people supporting the Ukraine war are, ironically – or not – the millennial children of the boomer evangelicals who supported the Iraq War.

The boomers thought they were going to create a utopia by getting their science fiction god, “Space Jesus,” to come suck them into space, and their kids believe they are going to create a utopia by forcing children to have gay sex.

It’s war for ideology, in both cases. Very little difference.

They’re even using the same banned weapons, because they have done the same process of dehumanizing the enemy.

It’s tiring.
