Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Melnik has told a German lawmaker to “go to hell” for opposing the delivery of cluster munitions to Kiev’s forces. Melnik formerly served as ambassador to Germany, where he made a name for himself by publicly insulting his hosts.
“The use of ‘cluster munitions’ is rightly outlawed internationally,” German MP Ralf Stenger tweeted on Friday, adding that those who “act in the name of international order and values do not supply such weapons, not even in Ukraine.” Stenger is a member of Chancellor Olaf Scholz’ SPD party.
US President Joe Biden authorized the delivery of cluster munitions to Ukraine on Friday, despite his administration referring to their use as a potential “war crime” last year. Explaining his decision, Biden cited a shortage in conventional ammunition due to Ukraine’s high consumption rate throughout its ongoing counteroffensive.
Before his dismissal, Melnik repeatedly accused the German government of being too slow to provide military assistance, and referred to Chancellor Scholz as an “offended liver sausage” over his reluctance to visit Kiev. Melnik also sparred with Elon Musk on Twitter, telling the billionaire to “f**k off” over his plan for a peaceful settlement of the conflict with Russia.
Melnik was appointed as Ukraine’s envoy to Brazil last month, but has yet to take up his new post.

Cluster munitions scatter small ‘bomblets’ over a wide area, some of which fail to immediately explode and pose severe risks to civilians for years after fighting ends. More than 110 countries have ratified a 2008 UN convention prohibiting their use and transfer, although the US, Russia, and Ukraine are not parties to the ban.

Lindsey Graham wants to admit Ukraine to the Nato insane asylum, claiming it is strictly for defensive purposes, to protect Ukraine from stray harbor seals like the one the brave firefighters rescued in the San Francisco bay. It had gotten caught in the netting, which we can rest assured was planted there by Putin to embarrass that poor harbor seal, which is supposed to make a full recovery.
i found this tidbit noteworthy
Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy called Graham’s proposal “shameful” and argued that President Joe Biden “needs to man up to his bully-friend,” Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky, by making clear that Kiev will not be allowed to join the alliance. He said NATO had made nuclear war with Russia more likely by breaking a US promise not to expand the bloc after the Soviet Union’s collapse.

“As president, I’ll refuse to be bullied by an anti-democratic comedian-turned-leader, and it’s truly mystifying to me that the rest of the West is eating out of this Pied Piper’s hand every day,” Ramaswamy said on Saturday.
i watched this with great interest, hence i repost
and i found a few items of note, as always, in this piece
in particular the Patrick Lancaster is always an eye opening event, from the front line trenches.
Why is America fighting the whole world? i grow weary of the war, which tears my heart into a million bomblets and rips my soul out like a cluster bomb.
i am so glad to hear some elected representatives are starting to speak out about stopping Ukraine from joining the Nato war effensive, now that it is nearly and almost all over, and the living is easy, fish are jumpin’….
if you get an invite to a pillow fight in Villnius;, watch out for the ant patrol that is there to make sure your ego isn’t overly inflated, and maybe the clown president won’t attend in person, i hear, as he is scared to death of them dammm ants…
Thank you for reading and especially for the comments, i adore your feedback. Have a blessed day.
Did you check that global times link i sent out in the review yesterday? i should have repastied, the editorial spoke of Lithuanium being “in the radiation zone” of hostilities, as i recall, near to Little Russia, with cluster bomblets and pepperonies on the pizza pies, flying through your eyes
