Its 2023 and why anyone is still surprised as to how america conducts business has to be one of this decade's greatest mysteries .....

so, true. And just because I write about it does NOT mean I am surprised.

Just trying to inform and inspire.

I remain suspended between the horns of a dilemma: on the one horn, I believe that The Ghost of Joe Biden (Barely) Present's advanced and accelerating* dementia makes it impossible for the public to gauge how "present" he is at any given moment.

* I'm aware that on some occasions, what seems like organic dementia turns out to be an artifact of excessive and/or inappropriate medication, or is exacerbated by emotional or environmental stress. In such cases, a seemingly acutely demented person can recover their rationality once the mis-medication or stressors are reduced or eliminated. But generally, dementia doesn't spontaneously reverse or "clear up".

On the other horn, persons afflicted with dementia can settle into what used to be called "second childhood" senility; in this state, like children, they become little old pitchers with big ears and loose lips, and sometimes blurt out or repeat inconvenient truths.

Anyway, Biden himself explained that he "reluctantly" greenlighted sending cluster munitions to Ukraine on the ostensibly pragmatic grounds that they are the only 155-millimeter shells left in the US weapons stockpiles. If this is true (see above), it's a reprehensibly bald justification based on amoral expediency.

Perhaps sooner than later the US will announce the shipment of some cobweb-covered white phosphorous munitions. And I'm sure there are rusty barrels of Agent Orange that could use a good home. It makes the White House and Pentagon, on a colossal scale, look like cash-strapped homeowners who desperately drag out Lawn Darts, Clackers, and E-Z Bake Ovens for a rummage sale. 😡

thank you--all true

In 2019, Biden said cluster bombs are illegal weapons...

Now, they're legal, but only if used against Russians.

This does not bode well for the planet, aka humanity.

I believe Ukraine has been using cluster bombs/shells since the civil war in the Donbas broke out in 2014 after the Maidan Coup. An act of US/NATO desperation, as Biden admitted that the Almighty Pentagon is out of conventional 155mm artillery shells to give? The only nastiness the US has left are its WMD, which is out of the question until it's not. This Ukraine War, like the Covid Episode that preceded it, reminds me of a Horror Movie...

Yep, this has been going on for a while in Russia/Ukraine(aka USA/NATO)!

Who hopes to accomplish WHAT exactly?

Who are the disgusting Amuricans that work in the factories that make these bombs? Name the US Companies that produce them. Have they no moral compass?

I have a hard time blaming workers, but the owner/political class is definitely disgusting.

I wouldn't choose to work for a defense industry, but I am really poor and don't have kids to feed, anymore.

I would scrub toilets first.

Yes, impossible for me to blame workers too.

Imho, it is like blaming people who got the mandated vaccine instead of being fired.

I lost a ton of revenue because I didn't take the vax, but I would NEVER blame a mother/father, or anyone, for going through with it. I have family members who felt very forced and coerced into it, but they have rent/house payments. They felt it would be worse to take their children and live in a car then to get the vax. Many times, as adults, we sacrifice for those we love. Sigh--I blame the monsters at the top. They should hang by their ears (or some other body part) from the tallest tree.

I also blame the COVID Left who went along with the whole COVIDIAN charade. The same crowd who cancelled you, Cindy.

yep. They are establishment shills who still think they are "revolutionaries"

Imho, I still differentiate between the minions and the monsters who manipulated them

Agreed, the former are mostly “useful idiots” who are headed for the dustbin of history.

I don't have a "Hard Time" blaming them. It's just like Donovan's Universal Soldier. If no one did the killing, there could be no wars. Extend that to the Bastards who are so indoctrinated they prolly salute the flag each morning at work before they assemble the Munitions killing kids all over the planet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UC9pc4U40sI

As we all could see, the horrors they've perpetrated against so many across the globe was always going to end up here in one form or another used on the people that once watched or funded from afar. The culture of violence doesn't care who or where you are. This small and evil group of controllers doing this won't be exempt either. God help us fix this fast.

Yes, self-perpetuating carnage.

Tyrant Biden has been warmonger forever... I know, preaching to the choir in this forum.

But who are all those Democrats that supported him for Senator and for three time run for President?

I had read about a decade ago, that the US is one of the top producers of cluster bombs. So are you saying the US is giving cluster bombs to Ukraine and also selling them to Russia as well? Or does Russia produce her own cluster bombs. Either way it is catastrophic.

Outside of Lindsey Graham and his ilk of sadistic cheerleaders, it's generally acknowledged that Ukraine cannot "win" this conflict, yet DC is sending another package of stuff, including the cluster munitions, for Russia to blow up. I wrote a piece published at Dissident Voice last year called "Operation Inventory Reduction," which I think is part of the equation. The other is about testing out weapons systems, so the whole thing is a sick, sad, sordid affair. Delusional, magical thinking is ruling the roost in DC, London, and Brussels, not to mention denial. The West should file for ethical bankruptcy, and stop sending "Weapons and Cash" to Ukraine, which would force everyone to the Peace Talks Table; otherwise, we're sentencing countless more Ukrainians to ignominious death, and all in the name of "weakening" Russia, which isn't even a strategy...
