McGovern told thethat cluster munitions, “disperse hundreds of bomblets, which can travel far beyond military targets and injure, maim and kill civilians — often long after a conflict is over.”
In greenlighting cluster munitions, Biden thumbed his nose at 18 NATO partners that joined with over 100 other state parties to sign the 2008reported representatives of the UK, Canada, New Zealand, and Spain were not on board for cluster bombs. With a bow to hawkish Republicans, such as Sen. Tom Cotton of Alabama, who sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee, Biden invokes theembedded in the statute against the use of cluster munitions. This exception allows for shipment of cluster munitions in the interest of vital national security.
Nonetheless, the same President Biden who a year ago warned of the risk of nuclear Armageddon, has reversed himself yet again to up the ante. Biden first said no, then flip-flopped on a host of weapons: Stinger missiles, HIMARS rocket launchers, advanced missile defense systems, M1 Abrams tanks, F-16 fighter jets. Each one of these has been a kind of Russian roulette, testing Putin’s “red lines.”
