Biden approves antipersonnel mines for Ukraine, undoing his own policy

[excalibur]

More outrageous ramping-up the heat from the Biden junta, as they get ready to exit the stage in 2 months.

Anti-personnel land mines are hateful weapons, loathed by soldiers, and always get left behind in the ground when war ends to kill and maim civilians, including children.

It is as if Biden and the deep state want to make it more and more difficult for Trump to bring an end to the slaughter in the Ukraine region.

President Joe Biden has authorized the provision of antipersonnel land mines to Ukraine, a step that will bolster Kyiv’s defenses against advancing Russian troops but has drawn criticism from arms control groups.

The move comes in the wake of the White House’s recent authorization allowing Ukraine to use a powerful missile system to strike inside Russia — part of a sweep of urgent actions that the lame-duck Biden administration is taking to help Kyiv’s faltering war effort.

Austin and other U.S. officials did not say what type of mines are being provided. One official described them as “nonpersistent,” meaning that the mines self-destruct or lose battery charge to render them inactive within days or weeks. The official said that Ukrainian policymakers had committed to not deploying the mines in densely populated areas. Arms control experts said that even nonpersistent mines pose a safety hazard.

IMHO these decisions are Deep State and simply passed down the line and through Piss Pot the Puppet .
They reflect their need for Never Ending Wars to keep the coffers full for Black Projects and other dirty deeds .

However , the risks of escalating the Israel conflict are judged hugely greater than for Ukraine .
That is , the active players in the Kyiv versus Moscow battle will likely remain the same , whereas in the Gaza versus Tel Aviv battle this has already escalated in terms of the number of actively involved countries, but could expand much further and disastrously if Egypt , Turkey and even Pakistan became players .

Separately ., I am not convinced of the" Trump "argument .
Because I happen to believe he is 100% Deep State but in a more nuanced way than the "Neocon" and "De-population" types. But , regardless, he is key to Deep State strategy as it permits them to present matters in a binary way -- forcing an opinion split and further advancing the Chaos Project .

Won't be long before they give Ukraine nukes to use because, since dems lost the election, they think Ukraine will be gone under Trump so they think they will prevent that before Trump takes office.

Where do you think Putin will go after he takes Ukraine? BTW, I don`t have any nukes to give to Ukraine.

Biden isn't making the decision.

His puppet masters are.

It's dangerous

He isn't going to take Ukraine. That's a fallacy of the left. Well, on second thought, if Harris had been elected, Putin would have eventually taken over all of Ukraine. That won't happen under Trump.

Russian soldiers in Ukraine today are there as tourists?

What is Ukraine's path to winning? And by winning, I mean restoring their pre 2014 borders.

I think it's glaringly obvious that QPJ wants to make things as difficult as possible for the TRUMP! administration, too difficult to upset Washington too much because it's too dangerous. What possible reason would he have to make these moves right now that could not wait two months?

The election gave us two choices:

1. Elect Harris, who would have kept on throwing money out the window for years with aid to Ukraine and all of Ukraine eventually falling to Russia at some point

2. Elect Trump, who would be in favor of making a deal with Russia for SOME territory in exchange for ending the war, buying time for Ukraine to formally become a member of NATO and making future invasions far less likely.
