◾️ For 30 years I have been preparing for war. Therefore, today we live under peaceful skies;

◾️ There are no “color revolutions” if there are no reasons for them in the country;

WHITE HOUSE PUSHES FOR DECADES OF MISERY: as Biden is urged to send banned cluster munitions to Kiev to help in the offensive - Foreign Policy.

Proponents of sending these munitions point to the wear and tear of Western artillery and the depletion of shell stocks. Cluster munitions are spent more slowly.

They are designed to destroy tanks by breaking into smaller munitions, which can remain on the battlefield for many years, long after a conflict. Each projectile scatters about 88 bombs.

There are 100+ signatories to the international Convention on the Prohibition of Cluster Munitions - however, Russia, Ukraine, and the US are not party to it.
