Ukraine's cluster bombs: 'Most controversial arms transfer of Biden's presidency'

The Washington Post's John Hudson joins Morning Joe to discuss his new piece, "How Ukraine is exploiting Biden’s cluster bomb gamble," and the strategic impact of cluster bombs in Ukraine's conflict. These controversial weapons have hindered Russian advances and altered battlefield dynamics. While they prove effective against exposed infantry, challenges remain, including concerns about unexploded ordnances and the complex minefields hindering Ukrainian offensives.

Russia can use white phosphorus bombs but Ukraine is controversial for using cluster Bombs lol that does not make sense.

[Dingleberry]

With 10% for the Big Guy...
This war will never end.

[bcstones]

John Hudson never answered the question of how effective cluster bombs are against the mine fields! Why?

[ytsks]

Nothing controversial about it, as no side in the transfer or the conflict has signed the ban on cluster munitions.

[cdcopley]

The media constantly talks about a "stalled offensive" or wringing their hands over the weapons Ukraine is using. I never hear them worrying about Russia using chemical or gas weapons; using cluster bombs, etc. Stop all the negativity! Slava Ukraine ✌✌✌✌

[roejogan]

I thought we hated “wasting” money on the military industrial complex?

[joaneskins]

Russia went from super dooper power and 2nd best military in the world to 2nd best military in Ukraine in short order and they are getting further degraded and annihilated in Ukraine while Ukraine now has the biggest and best army in Europe. What a turnaround.

[DonaldBiden]

Nothing controversial in defending your home and your family with any means necessary.

[joe]

Not our war, not our country, not our problem. Let Europe handle this, we have our own problems.

[lalah]

Clusters are great for clearing out
mine fields💣💥💥💥

[MickGough]

If Ukraine had been the invader then worrying about cluster bombs would be justifiable, but as they are using it on their own land to repel invaders any discussions should be moot.

[obstreperous]

Russia has used cluster munitions on Ukrainian CITIES, in the east, their propaganda is the strongest (smelling) thing about this.

[bartjargengarblbargeler]

"EIections?? We don' need no stinkin' eIections! What do you think this is? A democracy??"
ZeIenskyy

[TamponTimWalz]

Bye-den..No Labels likely to launch third-party ‘alternative’ if Trump, Biden win nominations

[joaneskins]

Dear Mr. Putin : Thank you for being the single best weapons and arms provider to Ukraine whenever your invading ORC's cut and run. You are also the single best NATO-OTAN RECRUITER with once neutral Sweden and Finland joining NATO. I would like to tank you again on behalf of the Ukraine people because we couldn't have accomplished these objectives without your input and for this we are tankfull.

Sincerely yours : The FREE and Independent and Sovereign people of Ukraine. SLAVA 🇺🇦 UKRAINE!

[SethHirschman]

Republicans - Just move to Russia. It's already what you want. Just go. We will not stop you. Seriously, we're the majority and it's only getting better for us. We never needed you. Go fight for Vladimir.

[public.public]

Russia should be happy that Ukraine isn't planting mines in Russia.
Because all Ukraine has agreed to regarding military response to military action originating in Russia
is they wont be using imported munitions for such action.
Mines are very easy to manufacture in Ukraine.

We should send shovels. Fight shovel with shovel. Or even tillers
