After giving Ukraine permission to bomb inside Russia with US-made long-range missiles, Joe Biden has agreed to give anti-personnel land land mines to Ukraine.
Land mines are banned in 150 countries.
Biden is wandering around the Brazilian rainforest, so he isn’t involved. However, Antony Blinken and Jake Sullivan, two incompetent communists, are involved.
The US expects Ukraine to use the mines in its territory, not in Russia. Ukraine has committed not to use them in areas populated with its own civilians, an official told Reuters. The Washington Post first reported the development.

The official said the US mines differ from Russia’s as they are “non-persistent” and become inert after a preset period. They require a battery to detonate and will not explode once the battery runs out.

A significant air attack is expected in Kyiv today! Russia might seek serious retaliation.

The US is rushing out every weapon and every dollar they can to Ukraine.
The BBC reports that “mines are vital” to slow down Russian advances, and human rights issues are seen as secondary.
“Human rights groups may not like them, but faced with Russia’s overwhelming might, in terms of manpower and artillery, there are no comfortable choices,” writes Paul Adams. He is the diplomatic correspondent from the BBC.

Very familiar with “Bouncing Betty” originally WW2 German mine.
Communist in Vietnam used them. When one of us stepped on one, (when bullets not in air), you’d hear the click if paying attention, then freeze with your weight still on Betty. Then buddies would defuse.
It’s nasty when it goes off.
Thank you for your service.
Thank you Martha; we could have won that one in short order, but they didn’t want to. They failed one Patton’s major rules. “Don’t ever give up the real estate”. Watch true story “We Were Soldiers” explains why we could never win it in the last 10 minutes. Met a guy who fought on Hamburger Hill more than once.
I remember defusing landmines in basic training back in 1971. Very nerve racking.
They were mock explosives but enough to make you jump if and when they went off.
Thanks for your service! Were you in The Nam? My vacation in sunny Vietnam was 67-69. Guess you could say that was back when the air was clean and sex was private!
(smile) had a smiley face at the end but word press is a piece of poop.
Will be glad to finally put funding this corrupt nation to rest. They must have a ton of evidence of all the corrupt U.S. politicians and money laundering operations for them to have been pumping billions into this country.
