Ukraine War: Cluster bombs are “effective” says the US

Cluster bombs are in fact something the UN has prohibited its use in warfare. But, Russia has been using them in the Ukraine war against them. Hence, Ukraine had requested for these from the US (one of the few countries who have a stockpile of these bombs) as a measure to keep the Russian forces concentration on its borders. Now that they have got them they say they have been using it against Russian troops and say that it is very helpful and “effective.”

Because of it their counter-offensive against Russia has been progressing “effectively.” The reason for banning these weapons of war “cluster bombs” is because that when it explodes unlike the ordinary bombs they give away bomblets and they could remain live and active with hundreds of years life in them that they could virtually explode on anyone who comes in contact with them even after a hundred years. Because of the risk it poses for civilians the UN had banned these cluster bombs and more than 150 countries have signed the agreement for banning and non-use in their countries.

In the case of Ukraine it says cluster bombs have been useful for not allowing the concentration of the enemy in its borders.

Now they the Ukrainians are making steady progress in their counter-offensive, which is in its second phase of the war in Ukraine.

The Taliban

This isn't the time to talk of any investments. First and foremost you have to show leadership to attract any investments. Not just saying we welcome anybody. This isn't foreign policy. That means subtly saying in the future we will allow anyone to use our country as a base to carry out any terrorist activity. This will create instability in the region from drugs, weapons and equipment. Can you introduce us to the team probing into the killing of Ayman al-Zawahiri? It's almost one year completed you still act like a group. Can you call for a referendum because you say that the people must want education for girls and women. Can you bring your people to vote whether they want education for girls and women? Just saying that people must decide on women and girls education, who are these people? Are they people in your group or the afghan population? You are open to have any agreement with anyone, but for this region we need openness for anyone in this region to tru...

The Endless Cycle of Misinformation and Deflection: Biden, Harris, and the 2024 Campaign

For four long years, a column was being written in the press, a persistent narrative that followed President Joe Biden through his term in office. Every time Biden faced tough questions or criticism, he would pause, take a deep breath, and yell back, branding the conversation as either "misinformation" or "disinformation." It became almost a hallmark of his response—deflecting any criticism by labeling it as part of some broader, nefarious campaign to distort the truth.  This strategy came full circle the day Biden signed his name to a critical decision: his reelection announcement for 2024. By deciding to run again, Biden’s reelection bid felt like the culmination of a column that had been continuously drafted, edited, and critiqued. His familiar refrain against “misinformation” became, in essence, the core message of his defense—any challenge to his policies or leadership was dismissed as an attack not based on facts but on falsehoods. But the story didn’t end the...
