Your Politicians could care less. There’s money to be made, and they’re going for every last schilling.
You work with the Deep state and you (and your family) can violate any law they want. Pence got his daughter on the gravy train.

The Biden regime is doing its best to ruin the United States’ good name on the world stage. Biden has opened the border, flooded the US with millions of illegals, destroyed the US energy sector, blown up inflation, jailed political prisoners, indicted the top opposition candidate, cracked down on First Amendment rights, surrendered to the Taliban, armed the barbarians with 80 billion dollars in US equipment, pushed the world to the brink of World War III, and propped up an imbecile with dementia as leader of the free world.
The Biden administration recently decided to send thousands of cluster bombs to Ukraine despite these bombs being banned in 120 countries.
A year ago then White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Russia’s alleged use of cluster bombs was a war crime (Video at link).
It’s like Joe Biden and his handlers are doing their best to destroy to make America the bad guys.
The Daily Mail reported:
The US has decided to send cluster munitions to Ukraine to help its military push back Russian forces entrenched along the front lines – despite the ex-White House press secretary saying last year that Russia’s use of the bombs was a ‘war crime’.
The Biden administration has been weighing up a decision on sending the munitions since December, and is expected to announce on Friday it will send thousands of them as part of a new military aid package worth $800million.
Cluster munitions explode and disperse a series of smaller bombs over a wide area, often killing civilians. More than 120 nations have signed a 15-year-old treaty banning their use, but Ukraine and Russia have both deployed them – and Ukraine’s supplies of all types of ammunition are dwindling.
When, five days into the war, Jen Psaki, then the White House press secretary, was asked about the Russian use of cluster munitions, she said: ‘We have seen the reports. If that were true, it would potentially be a war crime.’
The White House has now shifted its position, and is overruling a law which bans the transfer of cluster munitions with a failure rate of more than 1 percent. Some with a higher failure rate will be sent to Ukraine.
Stolen elections have consequences.
Tons of them. They’re circling this thread like vultures and ready to call you a Putin lover if you oppose WW3.
More clusterage here:

Good shells to turn Russian scum into minced meat.
No excuse that Slow Joe didn’t send these ages ago.
This is WWIII and neither Russia nor Ukraine will be allowed to end it, come Hell or high water.
Of course Russian continual use of cluster bombs on civilians is OK, but Ukraine cannot use the same type of munition on Russian troops on the battlefield because, unlike the first example, it would be a war crime.
Well, this certainly gives Russia cover to use whatever means necessary to brutalize the Ukrainians even further.
Nice job, Biden! You are truly a moron.
I wonder, do the Ukes have the means to deliver a thermobaric bomb (fuel air explosive) over a Russian city or village? How much damage could a big one of those do?
Well that is a blunt question; but I’m in agreement in principle. I think the lefties chose sides here mainly b/c they (w/o evidence) decided that Russia = Trump and siding against Russia is by proxy an extension of their hatred of him. I never heard of a more childish reason to foment the actual killing of people.
And now this further provocation, this escalation, is undeniably a move toward a nuclear confrontation. How on God’s green earth is this justified? But w/ lefties there’s seldom any good logic to their madness.
do the Ukes have the means to deliver a thermobaric bomb
—
No they do not have such a weapon nor the means to deliver it; that is not the Ukraine way even if they had both.
It is the Russian way, however. Russia has been using thermobaric (TOS-1A) & white phosphorus artillery on villages since the war began,
Of course the difference is that scummy Russians are war criminals whereas Joe Chin's laundry service is just defending democracy.
Its an act of pure desperation, and cynicism.
We have seen this phenomenon from start until now - Abrams tanks mean WWIII!. Now we offering Abrams tanks. Not offering HIMARS, now we are sending HIMARS. We will not train Ukes on F-16s. Now we are training Ukes on F-16s. One ad hoc decision after another.
They blew the Nordstream pipeline - exactly as our NATO allies who needed it were entering winter. Pure evil.
Its obvious these Deep-state clowns started this war with completely asinine and ridiculous assumptions. Their bubble was popped very early on, so now they can only flail around looking for any and all options.
There is no strategy, there are no adults in charge.
The sub-munitions each have small parachutes and infrared sensors that detect enemy vehicles and launch four small hockey puck shaped charges that explode immediately above the top of their targets. In effect, with a single CBU-97, a large area can be attacked so as to destroy most or all of enemy vehicle targets in an area of about fifteen acres.
So, what is so bad about the CBU-97? Cluster bombs are controversial because the Soviets used to drop them on Afghan civilians, often with the small bomblets made to look like toys so as to attack children. Otherwise, made to be hard to detect, the Soviet bomblets acted like small mines and could linger for years so as to make Afghan trails and agricultural fields too dangerous to use.
The CBU-97 is not such a weapon, but in reputation it suffers from the controversy over cluster bombs. And yes, I see little reason not to supply it to Ukraine. In effect, the Ukrainians could use them to clear large swaths of the battle space of Russian tanks and other fighting vehicles.
Biden is addicted in war
How Globalist of you. Why do you think it is our responsibility to fund this proxy war against Russia? We are $32T in debt and have depleted our defenses. Dumb dumb dumb strategy. It isn’t our war. Maybe you support all the corruption that our politicians engage in while supporting Ukraine!

The Nordstream Pipeline was stopped by Trump.
A wholly owned Russian front company hired a man that used to work for Biden and gave him $1 Million to Lobby Joe. Everyone in DC knew that as soon as Joe got a Sniff of the money, he would approve it. Biden approved the Nordstream Pipeline - and cited Global warning (Climate change) as the reason to approve (seriously).
Then after strange and ominous threats from Joe, it was blown up.
The Nordstream Pipeline explosion is the largest Ecological Disaster in our lifetimes. It was also the largest release of greenhouse gases (from a man made event) in History.
It’s only a war crime when the other side does it.
OK.
