JOE BIDEN REALLY MAKING THE MOST OF HIS LAST 62 DAYS IN OFFICE: Biden approves antipersonnel mines for Ukraine, undoing his own policy.
President Joe Biden has authorized the provision of antipersonnel land mines to Ukraine, two U.S. officials said, 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 long-range missile system to strike inside Russia — part of a sweep of urgent actions the lame-duck Biden administration is taking to help Kyiv’s faltering war effort.
And this come after yesterday’s news: Biden Gives Ukraine the OK to Use Long-Range US Missiles (Using US Targeting Information) To Strike Targets Deep Within Russia; Putin Announces He Is Changing Russia’s Nuke Rules to Allow Using Nukes Against Ukraine.
Underneath his “Scranton Joe” aw-shucks facade, Joe’s always been an incredibly angry man, but I didn’t realize the former opponent of the Vietnam War would risk dumping WWIII on his successor’s administration.
