US to send Ukraine banned cluster munitions: Officials

The United States has planned to send globally banned cluster munitions to Ukraine to help it battle Russian forces, American officials have said.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, three US officials said on Thursday that the weapons aid package would include cluster munitions fired by a 155-millimeter Howitzer cannon. The package is expected to be announced as soon as Friday.

Cluster bombs are banned under the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM), an international treaty that addresses the humanitarian consequences and unacceptable harm caused to civilians by cluster munitions through a categorical prohibition and a framework for action.

The weapons can contain dozens of smaller bomblets, dispersing over vast areas, often killing and maiming civilians. The CCMs are banned because unexploded bomblets can pose a risk to civilians for years after the fighting is over.

Cluster munitions generally eject submunitions that can cover five times as much area as conventional bombs.

The Convention on Cluster Munitions, which took effect in 2010, bans all use, production, transfer and stockpiling of cluster bombs. More than 100 countries have signed the treaty, but the US, Russia and Ukraine have not.

One of the officials told the Reuters news agency that the measure has been under serious consideration for at least a week......more below

Pepe Escobar: Empire of Chaos, Reloaded

All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near. Sun Tzu, The Art of War

The Empire of Chaos is relentless. Lawfare, destabilizations, sanctions, kidnappings, color revolutions, false flags, annexations: 2025 will be the year of BRICS – plus BRICS partners – as choice targets under fire.

Inestimable Prof. Michael Hudson coined “chaos” as official US policy. That’s bipartisan – and it runs across all silos of the Deep State.

In the absence of long-term strategic vision, and amidst the progressive imperial expulsion from Eurasia, all that’s left for the Hegemon is to unleash chaos from West Asia to Europe and parts of Latin America – a concerted attempt to Divide and Rule BRICS and thwart their collective drive affirming sovereignty and the primacy of national ...

NATO Troops May Be Ill-Prepared for Any Sort of Arctic War Against Russia

Although NATO forces regularly participate in drills in the region, many remain unprepared for the harsh realities of Arctic life.
