Former President Donald Trump denounced President Joe Biden's decision to send cluster munitions to Ukraine.
The Biden administration announced last week that it would be providing Ukraine with controversial cluster munitions, a weapon that disperses numerous submunitions over a wide area. The weapon is controversial due to its destructive nature and the fact that many of the"bomblets" don't detonate, remaining intact for civilians to stumble upon later.
He further criticized Biden's statement that the reason for the decision was that the U.S. was running out of ammunition. Trump argued that this admission was a signal to U.S. adversaries that the country is weak and vulnerable. "There could be no more vivid proof that Joe Biden's policy of endless war in Ukraine has tremendously weakened the United States than the humiliating admission that the USA is now out of ammo, something our enemies are undoubtedly salivating over," he continued.
"This 'admitted' weakness is an invitation to enemies all over the world. Joe Biden is needlessly and dangerously leading us into World War III, which would be a nightmare beyond imagination — obliteration!"State Secretary Antony Blinken elaborated on Biden's rationale, going so far as to argue that Ukraine would run out of ammunition if cluster munitions weren't sent.
“The stockpiles around the world and in Ukraine of the unitary munitions, not the cluster munitions, were running out, about to be depleted,” he said in an interview with MSNBC. “And so, the hard but necessary choice to give them the cluster munitions amounted to this: If we didn’t do it, then they will run out of ammunition. If they run out of ammunition, then they will be defenseless.”
