U.S. Military's Authorization to Send Cluster Bomb Munitions to Ukraine Will Very Likely Lead to Dire (and Unintended) Consequences...

First, some definitions:
It’s fair to say the war in Ukraine is going poorly for both Ukraine and its NATO supporters. The West and NATO have already given well over $100 billion in combined financial and military aid… and the best you can say is “things aren’t going as planned.” At all. It’s a disaster, though the best word for it is expressed over drinks behind closed doors with other street-smart folks: it’s a clusterfuck.
Clusterfucks hold a special place in public life, one distinct from the complications, crises, and catastrophes that mar our personal and professional existences.
The F-Word, former Oxford English Dictionary editor Jesse Sheidlower’s comprehensive history of the term, defines a clusterfuck as “a bungled or confused undertaking or situation.”
Stanford business professor Bob Sutton goes further with greater contextual insight, describing clusterfucks as “those debacles and disasters caused by a deadly brew of illusion, impatience, and incompetence that afflicts too many decision-makers, especially those in powerful, confident, and prestigious groups.” The Biden Aministration meets all these criteria in spades.
Here’s my overview of this war from last May (2022) where I relate my FIRST HAND understanding of the REAL basis for this conflict between NATO proxy state Ukraine and Russia. It sets a clear background context for my “alternative view” of this conflict:
As the Ukraine conflict continues to intensify, the Biden Administration's recent decision to authorize the US military to send cluster bomb munitions to Ukraine is a move that is not only poorly informed but also dangerous, inflammatory, and potentially escalatory.
Cluster bombs, notorious for their indiscriminate nature and lingering unexploded ordnance, pose a severe threat to civilian life. Their use will very likely lead to a significant increase in casualties and devastation, exacerbating the already dire humanitarian situation in Ukraine.
This Biden Administration decision is ill-informed and continues it pattern of proven idiocy when it comes to geopolitical strategy and military decision-making. This cluster bomb authorization seems to overlook the potential for escalation it could bring.
Introducing such lethal and controversial weaponry into the conflict will, no doubt, provoke Russia into seeing this as a further act of aggression, rather than support for Ukraine. This could lead to an escalation in the conflict, as Russia will likely respond with equivalent or greater force, pushing the situation closer to a direct military confrontation between Russia and the West.
Furthermore, the decision is inflammatory. It sends a clear message that the West is willing to continue upping the ante in the conflict, which could embolden other actors to take similarly aggressive actions. This not only destabilizes the region further but also threatens to preclude any diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict.
Most worryingly, the introduction of cluster bombs could potentially trigger a nuclear response. Russia, a nuclear-armed state, has previously indicated that it would consider the use of nuclear weapons if it felt its existence was threatened. The delivery of such powerful and indiscriminate weapons to Ukraine could be perceived as such a threat, leading to a perilous escalation in the conflict.
The Biden Administration's decision is not just about cluster bombs; it is about the broader implications of escalating a conflict that has already claimed too many lives and displaced too many people. It is about the potential for a broader war, one that could draw in other nations and potentially even lead to nuclear conflict.
Instead of escalating the conflict with dangerous and highly controversial weapons, the West should focus on diplomatic efforts to bring about a peaceful resolution to the Ukraine conflict. This includes engaging in earnest negotiations with Russia, getting rid of the proven corrupt Zelenskyy regime in Ukraine, redrawing the borders to reflect the new status quo, and providing humanitarian aid to those affected by the conflict.
The introduction of cluster bombs into the Ukraine conflict is a dangerous and poorly informed move. It’s a moronic step towards further escalation that may well have catastrophic consequences. The Biden Administration must reconsider this decision and focus on peaceful and diplomatic solutions to the conflict. (FYI, I’m not hopeful… these assholes WANT war with Putin’s Russia.)

Hello Sam, Yes that cluster word has been an active adjatiave in my thoughts and vocabulary describing many (current) global happenstances, including vaxx facts, for quite a while now. I watched on tv in elementary school the last us presidential assignation, the experience imbedded a re-sounding alarm bell for suspect happenstances. 911 immediately I knew the news terrorist story line were cluster’s, of bad (mythical proportions) information. Take Good Care! Those cluster bombs are not used by most countries (treaty) still in the international war crimes tribunal, bush II exit, non renewed sense.
