Hello John and Doves,
This is the second major policy change made in the Ukraine war by Biden in one week. They are bound and determined to start their precious war with Russia...and now that Trump is President-elect, instead of Harris, they are biting at the bit to get this war going - and preventing President Trump from getting a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia.Anti-personnel land mines have been condemned by the international community. They represent an extreme danger to innocent civilians. They are banned by more than 150 countries - but not by Russia or the U.S.Biden has made yet another major shift in U.S. police - he has decided to "provide Ukraine with antipersonnel land mines.""The change shows the Biden administration "has clearly and belatedly become less risk averse as it eyes troubling battlefield developments in Ukraine and worries how U.S. policy toward Ukraine and Russia may change on January 20" when President -elect Donald Trump takes office, according to Bradley Bowman, senior director of the Center on Military and Political Power at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies."
What it means for the US to send antipersonnel land mines to Ukraine | AP News
"Biden has escalated the conflict in Ukraine ahead of President-elect Trump's inauguration.""President Biden approved sending anti-personnel mines to Ukraine late Tuesday, a reversal of policy and yet another escalation in the conflict with Russia ahead of President-elect Trump's inauguration.""Ukrainian officials have reportedly promised to only deploy the mines in Ukrainian territory and away from major population centers. The U.S. had previously withheld anti-personnel mines because of their tendency to outlast conflicts once deployed and cause injury to innocents....The mines being delivered to Ukraine operate on an electric fuse that relies on a battery. That battery typically runs out over the course of hours or even weeks, and it is then inoperative, according to CBS News.""The Biden administration's approval came the same day that Ukraine used American-made ATACMs in a strike on Russian soil. Biden had prohibited such uses until last week."Anti-personnel minds are "designed to maim, rather than kill, so as to overwhelm an enemy's logistical and medical resources...The International Committed of the Red Cross says anti-personnel mines "leave a long-lasting legacy of death, injury and suffering.""The anti-personnel mines reportedly being provisioned by the US are 'non-persistent' and become inert after a preset period, according to a US official. However, the Red Cross says that even these 'smart' mines "indiscriminately endanger civilians while they are activated."
What are the anti-personnel landmines the US is sending to Ukraine and why are they banned by more than 150 countries? | World News | Sky News
I'm afraid to ask, as THEY become more desperate, what other policy changes are on the horizon before Donald Trump is sworn in on January 20, 2025? There is still plenty of time to 'get Russia to nuke the West'.Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!Maranatha!Chance
