Four GOP Congressmen are pushing the hesitant Biden administration to send cluster munitions to Ukraine. The munitions, which indiscriminately drop hundreds of smaller individual bombs over a large area, have been banned in some 120 countries and are seen as far less accurate compared to other, more conventional weapons. Despite this, 4 Congressmen sent a letter to the Biden White House criticizing its “reluctance to provide Ukraine the right type and amount of long-range fires and maneuver capability to create.”

The letter was signed by the following 4 Republican members of Congress:

  • Mike McCaul – Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee
  • Jim Risch – top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
  • Mike Rogers – Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee
  • Roger Wicker – top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee

The Congressmen want the cluster munitions provided as part of the next major weapons package approval.

While Ukraine has specifically requested the MK-20 air-delivered cluster bombs, Kyiv claims that it will not be dropping the small bombs en masse as they are designed to be but rather will be dropping the individual bombs from either drones or 155mm artillery cluster shells.

While the U.S. has a history of producing, using, and selling cluster munitions to its allies, those practices stopped in 2016 when Textron Systems Corporation stopped producing MK-20s, and the U.S. stopped selling them to Saudi Arabia. However, it is estimated that there are still approximately 1 million cluster munitions in Pentagon stockpiles.

These ‘Republican’ war mongers are probably getting donations and pressure from lobbyists….remember, The Love Of Money Is The Root Of All Evil ! That’s why all politicians want to work in D.C….that’s where the money is. If you don’t believe me, just ask Nasty PigLowSi.
