Biden Wants to Give Ukraine Cluster Bombs, Banned by Most Nations.

Biden Wants to Give Ukraine Cluster Bombs, Banned by Most Nations.

The Biden regime is reportedly pressing Congress to supply the Ukrainian military with cluster bombs, banned by most countries for their tendency to leave areas covered in unexploded submunitions that kill and maim for years to come. Deputy national security adviser Jon Finer is leading the efforts to soften lawmakers to the idea, as the West struggles to keep up with Ukraine’s demands for ordnance.

U.S. allies including Britain, France, Germany, Australia, and Canada have all banned the use of cluster bombs, with 123 states worldwide adopting a United Nations’ convention outlawing the “abhorrent weapons”. Joe Biden’s former boss, Barack Obama, also voted in favor of limiting their use as a Senator.

Ukraine, along with Russia and the likes of China and North Korea, is among the minority of states which have not signed the cluster bombs convention, and they have long pressed Washington to supply them.

“They are indiscriminate, and they harm civilians,” said Sarah Yager of Human Rights Watch. “We are also talking about breaking a global norm against using cluster munitions, at least for countries that believe in humanity even in times of war.”
