The Real War Party Is? Cluster Bomb Says...
By now, all should know better than to expect from the Progressives the kind of behaviour that matches all that they'd campaigned on, one that fits the label that they gladly decided to wear in order to gain popularity among younger voters, which is why every single anti-war effort voiced in recent times came from Republicans, Marjory Taylor Greene compensating for some passive Squad?
Following Biden's decision to send cluster bombs, having none of the unbanned stuff left that could be sent, Rep. MTG had introduced a proposition to stop the US sending the controversial ammunition to Ukraine.
Cluster bombs detonate while in the air, scattering several smaller bombs. Problem with these are the wide areas that can be impacted by one bomb, the spread potentially killing or injuring indiscriminately while also delivering a high ratio of duds, which sit on the ground, unexploded, remaining lethal should they be disturbed. Like forgotten landmines, kids playing and stumbling on units slightly dug in or hidden in long grass...
Many countries have signed a treaty banning the use of cluster bombs, whose use isn't illegal, according to international law, though usage of such weapons nearly always produces conditions which are in themselves considered a war crime.
The result of the vote on whether the US should send cluster bombs was:

First off: Thanks for being here.
You may have noticed a particular approach that combines event-driven or objective journalism with academic exposition interspersed with colloquialisms wrapped within an aim to be serious while allowing a sardonicism expressed in a smart-assy style to shine through?
I realize that anyone who doesn't know me may have a hard time drawing the line between what's serious and what's satire, knowing when I'm being genuine or tongue in cheek.
In truth, that only matters if your aim is in knowing more about me; if you read enough of what I put out, over time, I think that line will become clear.
My goal is to provide a different point of view, provoke some reflection, doing so mostly through humour.
You'll notice that streeters don't mince words, nor do they shy away from using or discussing certain terms, nor are they afraid to paint a raw, crude image that's sure to please no one, but you'll surely appreciate
that each instance has a clear, positive goal. Also, it should quickly become clear: on this street, we don't do tribal. Especially so.
