Why Is the US Avoiding Involvement in Ukraine?
A Thought on American Policy — From the Mountain
Russia has been introducing new weaponry in its attack on Ukraine. So far their version of Cluster Bombs, Vacuum Bombs (known as a “poor man’s nuclear bomb”) and now the new hypersonic missiles Putin bragged to Trump about.
What are each of these weapons, all weapons of massive destruction?
Cluster Bombs
Cluster bomb use was outlawed in an UN-backed resolution during 2010, the Convention on Cluster Munitions. There were 110 nations that signed on to this. The US, Russia, and Israel are three major powers NOT signed on to this. While the use of cluster bombs is considered illegal by International Law, Russia has continually used them in numerous theatres of operation over the past decade and more.
The vast majority of cluster bomb weapons are beyond 20 years of age, making them extremely dangerous. There are literally thousands of duds within the sub-munitions, about the size of a fist, that lie around an area in the hundreds and are easily triggered.
Russia has been using them against Ukraine since three days into their attack on Ukraine. Russia has attacked hospitals, residential areas, and schools… giving no deference to public areas or citizens as opposed to the military.
