War-mongers and belligerent militarists, i.e. bombies, on the Left are out in full-throated support of US efforts to arm Ukraine in its existential fight against Russia. There’s nothing wrong with that. The bombies have a point — Russia’s invasion of its neighbor was criminal and deserves condemnation by all of us. But bombies are taking this way too far.
OMG! What have they done now?!?!
Cluster bombs are back in fashion. The United States is supplying Ukraine with leftover cluster bombs to use against Russia.
CNN — The United States has confirmed it will supply cluster munitions to Ukraine as part of a new military aid package.
CNN first reported last week that US President Joe Biden’s administration was strongly considering approving the transfer of the controversial weapons to Ukraine, whose forces have been struggling to make major gains in a weeks-long counteroffensive. July 9, 2023

Old news, I know. After all, this is August!!
But there was a headline story here yesterday that reopened the subject, so I feel free to post my take on bombies and their philosophy here, too.
Cluster bombs, prettified to “cluster munitions” to make them less objectionable, are banned by the Convention on Cluster Munitions treaty which has 123 signatories, including Britain, France, and Germany. Notably, the US, Russia, and Ukraine are not signatories.
What’s the Rationale Behind Supplying Cluster Bombs to Ukraine?
The Russians did it, too!! Wah!!
No, seriously. Stop rolling on the floor laughing. That excuse is the driving force behind our government giving leftover cluster bombs to the Ukrainian military. Tit for tat. An eye for an eye. Vengeance and retribution are mine, saith Uncle Sam.
I don’t know about you, but when I tried the “but Johnny did it, too” schtick with my Mom when I was a kid, it sank faster than Ron DeSantis’s presidential campaign.
But bombies are undeterred. “We must do unto Russia what Russia hath done unto Ukraine. Amen.”
These are crazy times, my friend, and the crazies are out in force. Be prepared to set aside your moral compass and ethical framework as you’re dragged along for the wild ride. It should be fun?
