Cluster..

 

What would be next  to feed the fire in the Ukraine?

July..

 

Part-2..@

 

Nearly a third of the Bradley armored vehicles that the United States has provided to Ukraine may have already been lost or damaged, according to open source data, demonstrating the extent to which Kyiv's counteroffensive against Russia is proving to be a hard and costly slog.

Oryx, an open-source military research group, reports that 34 Bradleys have now been visually confirmed as having been abandoned, damaged, or destroyed, a few days of fighting in June, when Ukraine formally announced its bid to retake territory conquered by Russia following last year's full-scale invasion.
The losses are not unexpected and appear to have been concentrated in the first few days of the counteroffensive as Ukrainian soldiers sought to cross territory that was heavily mined by entrenched Russian forces. Ukrainians have credited the vehicle with saving lives.
Is this the new Vietnam-part 2?

Joe Biden and Rishi Sunak of UK

Summit..

 



The summit ended on Wednesday with a joint declaration from G7 leaders for their nations to negotiate long-term bilateral security commitments for Ukraine to build up its land, sea and air defenses to deter future Russian attacks. 
The move is a halfway house measure designed to tide Ukraine over until a future moment when it could join NATO and enjoy the “attack on one, is an attack on all” umbrella its members enjoy a moment that the alliance has yet to determine.
Biden insisted that granting membership now would mean NATO states having to go to war against Russia – a disastrous escalation he has been desperate to avoid.
 Spain and England disagreed with the Cluster Ammunitions, but it seems that the USA is the driving force of these war decisions.

Nightmare..

 

Image from one war earlier.

The Biden administration’s decision to send cluster munitions to Ukraine is shortsighted, ignores clear lessons from history and erodes significant international norms
As a result, new casualties will continue for decades after the conflict in Ukraine comes to an end.
U.S. cluster munitions have left a trail of human misery in the countries of Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Iraq, Kuwait, Serbia, Kosovo and Afghanistan, to name a few. 
Last year, the United States spent more than $375 million to clean up conventional weapons, including cluster munitions, in more than 65 countries.
During the Vietnam War, the United States dropped up to 270 million cluster munitions on neighboring Laos during America's secret war against communist forces and against their flow of supply along the Ho Chi Minh Trail. [By Titus Peachey]
What would be the next item to fuel the war?    Just a thought.

Secret Service found marijuana twice in the White House in 2022, long before cocaine was located in the West Wing.

The Secret Service revealed the information to members of Congress during a classified briefing on the investigation into cocaine found in the West Wing over the Fourth of July weekend.

Possessing less than two ounces of marijuana is not a crime in Washington, D.C., but the substance is still not allowed on federal property including the White House

"No one was arrested in these incidents, because the weight of the marijuana confiscated did not meet the legal threshold for federal charges or D.C.  

Wonder if these document and investigations are classified documents or highly classified? 

 Just a thought.
