Former President Trump ripped President Biden for his decision to send Ukraine cluster bombs and claimed Biden was “dragging” the United States “into World War III” by making the controversial decision.
“Joe Biden should not be dragging us further toward World War III by sending cluster munitions to Ukraine—he should be trying to END the war and stop the horrific death and destruction being caused by an incompetent administration. These unexploded cluster munitions will be killing and maiming innocent Ukrainian men, women, and children for decades to come, long after the war—we pray—has ended,” Trump said in a statement Tuesday.
Biden announced last week his decision to send cluster munitions to Ukraine and has received criticism from factions of both parties as a result.
Biden has said it was a difficult, but necessary, decision to make in light of the rapidly depleting stockpiles of unitary munitions — in Ukraine and around the world. Some allies who have hesitated to fully back the decision have still stressed the importance of the agreement with Ukraine to minimize civilian risk.

A multitude of millions have made that observation. It is not a Trump discovery.
Love it.
But petsonel are policy.
Millions realize that but, apparently, a very, very small percentage of Republicans in Congress do.
Regardless it’s the truth Joe Biden lives in a delusion (and in Joe Biden’s case delusion is not an empty expression) that he is FDR and Putin is Hitler and G-d knows who all gets killed in the end because of that.
And let’s forget other deluded people like Lindsey Graham and Mike Pence.
So when is DeSantis going to speak up on this issue ?
Him being a great “leader” and all.
I guess he has to wait until his pollsters and consultants come up with a way to appeal to MAGA while promising “bombs away” to his donors.
Tucker is going to Interview him, he will get a chance.
If cluster munitions are so evil, why do we have them in our stockpile?
Its ironic that the Obama Administration moved to retire cluster weapons while Trump stopped their destruction.
an Obama-era policy sought to gradually retire all U.S. cluster weapons with a dud-rate above 1%, leading to many such weapons being decommissioned or converted to other purposes, a move Biden expressed support for in 2006. However, this policy was canceled by the Trump administration.

n May 2008, then-Acting Assistant Secretary of State for Political-Military Affairs Stephen Mull stated that the U.S. military relies upon cluster munitions as an important part of their war strategy.[137] Mull emphasized that "U.S. forces simply cannot fight by design or by doctrine without holding out at least the possibility of using cluster munitions."
PT understands that this War is just useless distraction at this point, both sides need to come to the tabel.
Russia using cluster munitions isn’t a problem. Then there’s the Thermite. Oh well.
He’s still trying to position himself opposite biden it appears.
It’s just a matter of time....Trump nails it again.
Where’s DeSantis?
Those mail in ballots worked just as great as picking McCarthy to keep funding this insanity.
Ukraine has been using cluster munitions for years, including firing them into residential areas in Donetsk
But this is a significant escalation for America, because the USA is emptying the cupboard for itself, in order to support Ukraine.
DeSantis needs to say something now, not wait for Tucker, or whoever
I defend the people defending there Homeland, NOT Zelinsky.
