White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan claimed during a briefing on Friday that Ukraine will be careful with American-provided cluster bombs.
Sullivan confirmed reports that President Joe Biden will supply Ukraine with cluster bombs, which much of the world has vowed not to use due to long-term effects on civilians.
“We recognize that cluster munitions create a risk of civilian harm from unexploded ordinances. This is why we deferred the decision for as long as we could,” Sullivan said. However, he claimed that civilians could be harmed by potential Russian advances into Ukraine.

Yeah right. Arms sent to the Ukraine are now in the hands of Islamic terrorists in France. Ukraine sells the arms on the black market. You cant trust Zelensky.

More careful than, say, leaving bags of cocaine around the White House?

If Jake Sullivan feels the need to say that Ukraine will be “careful” with these kind of weapons, something is very off. Who uses that kind of language when discussing an ongoing war? What kind of warped and reckless administration is Biden’s cabal?! Try as they might this lawless administration is “fighting a war” that the majority of Americans do not support.
The political class both R & D can dress it up and call it a fight for freedom and democracy but the American people understand this is just another war to feed the military-industrial complex and the pockets of corrupt politicians. The added intrigue with this war is the systemic and deep corruption between the oligarchs inside Ukraine and our own political class that is being protected from being revealed. Then there are the neo-cons who never saw a war they could not sink their greedy little teeth into. Is this a principled war? Absolutely not. It is another war to protect the status quo corruption and feed the war mongers in our government. Trump is right. This could have all been avoided. Remember Joe Biden was literally stoking the fires for war before Russia moved on Ukraine. Now why would any sane person do that? Anyone who believes President Trump would not have moved heaven and earth to prevent this carnage is fooling themselves. This was all preventable as have been most of the conflicts we have jumped into for decades. When you have a lawless administration stoking the fires of war that is beyond reckless and reprehensible. The reason this administration is going after President Trump so hard is because he was not in favor of war for profit. If threatened or attacked by our enemies he was more than willing to fight and he would fight to win. All this pathetic waste of our men and women in the military and vast amounts of money for these made for TV wars is anathema to him. And this is why the powers that be in both parties hate him and are doing everything in their power to destroy him. Evil men look for wars to fight for perverse reasons, good men avoid war at all costs but will fight to the death if attacked. Herein is the difference between Biden and Trump.

According to retired Gen. Ben Hodges, we have millions of these cluster bombs stockpiled if the bulk of these gets sent to Ukraine, I don’t see how the Russian soldiers in the open trenches will survive the onslaught. Looks like a true game changer to me.

Did Biden look into Zelensky's eyes the way GW Bush looked into Putin's?

So the "progressives" who previously decided cluster bombs are not good because they are too effective, have now decided that cluster bombs are good because they are effective. These people are happy to fight wars with excessive restraint until they begin to fear they might not win. They are akin to those who choose to fight wars by proxy and to adjust the level of support to avoid winning. This promotes much more bloodshed than an effort to win quickly.

The first Biden press secretary called the cluster bombs worthy of war crimes (the Ginger Liar in Chief). Explain how it is not a war crime to give them to Ukraine, thus pushing us closer to WWIII?

Russian soldiers will be reassured, knowing that the Ukrainians will be "careful" with the cluster bombs fired at them. This is an escalation, and Putin will respond with further escalation.

A slippery slope. Just a matter of time before Biden gives him bio-weapons, chemical weapons and then Nukes. Biden and NATO are hell bent on starting WWIII. So far Putin hasn't taken the bait but you can only push someone just so far before they violently react. Keep poking the Bear Biden.

Not to worry. The hundreds of ball shaped metal bomblets within a canister will carry California’s product warning that “exposure to chemicals within cluster bombs contain chemicals that cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm”.

So cluster bombs are effective at killing people and their use is a war crime. Exactly what is the method for winning a war? I thought it was by killing the enemy.

Now I've heard it all - coming from the yokels who left $81 Billion worth of weapons lying around for the Taliban to use. The White House knows all about Cluster, unfortunately not bombs.

How would you use them "carefully?" The cluster bombs only do one thing. They explode in a cluster. That statement was totally absurd, just as much as the fact that Joementia was elected.

Is the Whitehouse trying to get the United States sucked into a war? Only reason we are not is Russia refuses to take the bait. We'll be providing Ukraine with nukes next.

How can anyone “be careful” with a cluster bomb? Unexploded parts can lie around for years and, like IEDs, cause devstating injuries and death to civilians.

We lost any room to pretend not to be Russia's actual adversary in this almost a year ago. If FJB (or whoever is pulling his puppet strings) keeps pressing in this direction, we're apt to get nuked at some point soon, without warning. Oh, Putin will be careful with the nukes he launches at us, too. (eye-roll...)
