The Biden admin's decision to send cluster munitions reeks of desperation as the counteroffensive falters

And given the Ukrainian military's use of internationally banned petal mines, it will use cluster bombs to similarly torment civilians in Donetsk

@MaxBlumenthal

Laura Cooper, a 20 year+ Pentagon official, set the stage for Biden's authorization of cluster munitions to Ukraine, telling Congress on June 30 they would be "useful" vs Russian armor

Cooper previously assisted the impeachment of Trump by claiming his freezing of military aid to Ukraine was "illegal"

In official Washington, internationally banned cluster munitions are "useful," while suspending arms deliveries to a foreign nation is against the law, if not treasonous

I’ll be addressing the UN Security Council about US military aid to Ukraine, a major threat to international and regional stability

@MaxBlumenthal

Classified Pentagon documents containing info about US-NATO plans for a Ukrainian offensive and key details of the ongoing war have leaked.

The Biden administration is reportedly demanding they be scrubbed from the internet.

This report on alleged deportation of children from Ukraine, funded by the State Department, was cited by Biden in his Poland speech last month. It names Putin and Maria Lvova-Belova as the main culprits: exactly mirroring the ICC arrest warrant. And the methodology is just crazy

@MaxBlumenthal

Antony Blinken claims that a Russia-Ukraine ceasefire "would violate the UN charter."

For a professional warmonger who calls himself a "diplomat," I guess it's consistent for him to declare that peace is illegal.

@MaxBlumenthal

Ahead of a meeting between Putin and Xi, White House NSC spokesperson John Kirby declares that any "call for a ceasefire" in Ukraine is "unacceptable."

Joseph Massad: "The ongoing massacres and pogroms committed by the government and the settlers against the Palestinian people are not even on [the] radar screen" of Israelis protesting their far-right ruling coalition

New Gallup poll shows the majority of Democratic voters sympathize more with Palestinians than Israelis, with sympathy for Israel and an all time low.

But because Democrat leadership is undemocratic, it will ignore the party base in favor of lobby money news.gallup.com/poll/472070/de…

Well we've finally been featured in AP.... because somehow it's ridiculous to even THINK that usa would steal anything from Syria, they've always treated Syrians so kindly. Media is an absolute joke.

@MBlumenthal

Truly demented outburst this week by Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) -- fulminating that a bill to limit censorship of social media by government agents should be called the "Putin Protection Act," because what Republicans really want is for "Putin and Xi to run free over our platforms"

Meet the British intelligence-linked firm that warped MH17 news coverage

Israeli fighter pilots refuse to train to massacre entire families in the Gaza ghetto in protest of judicial reforms.

Once the judicial reforms are reversed, the Israeli fighter pilots will agree to train to massacre entire families in the Gaza ghetto.
