President Donald Trump has strongly criticized the Biden administration's decision to send cluster bombs to Ukraine, arguing that prioritizing peace should be the focus of US engagement in the conflict rather than escalation.
In a statement, Trump expressed his concern, stating, "Joe Biden should not be dragging us further toward World War III by sending cluster munitions to Ukraine. He should be trying to end the war and stop the horrific death and destruction being caused by an incompetent administration."
Trump also highlighted the long-term consequences of using cluster bombs, stating, "These unexploded cluster munitions will be killing and maiming innocent Ukrainian men, women, and children for decades to come, long after the war - we pray - has ended." It is worth noting that in February 2022, the Biden administration condemned Russia's use of cluster bombs as a "war crime."
The Biden administration's justification for sending cluster bombs to Ukraine is that the country is running out of ammunition. When questioned about this decision, President Biden argued that since Russia was already using cluster bombs and the "dud rate" of US-made munitions was lower, it was not as concerning.
The "dud rate" refers to the number of bomblets released by cluster bombs that fail to explode on impact, effectively turning into land mines that pose a threat to civilians.
Trump responded to Biden's explanation, stating, "If, as Biden inadvertently admitted, the reason for sending cluster bombs now is that the United States is 'running out of ammunition' (a great breach of classified information), that only further emphasizes the urgency of immediately deescalating this bloody, dangerous, and out of control conflict. It certainly means we should not be sending Ukraine our last stockpiles at a time when our own arsenals, according to Crooked Joe Biden, are so perilously diminished."
Throughout his presidency, Trump has repeatedly claimed that if he were still in office, Russia would not have dared to invade Ukraine. He has also promised to bring an end to the war, a pledge he has reiterated on multiple occasions.
Trump emphasized the potential consequences of the perceived weakness in US foreign policy, stating, "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. 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!"
In conclusion, Trump called for an immediate end to the bloodshed in Ukraine and a renewed focus on America's vital interests. He also emphasized the need to rebuild the depleted military to ensure the strength and security of the nation. Trump stated, "We must have 'PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH,' and in a short time, the Presidential election of 2024 will produce that result."
Meanwhile, President Biden is currently in Europe, where he is meeting with NATO. The alliance has rejected Ukraine's bid to join the treaty, as it would trigger Article 5, requiring all member nations to defend Ukraine. This decision would potentially lead to a direct conflict between Europe, the US, Canada, and Russia.
