The Ukrainian authorities appealed to the US leadership with a request to provide cluster munitions for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This is reported by the American television channel CNN, citing information from informed sources. According to the media, the administration of US President Joe Biden considered this request for several months. In the end, Kyiv was denied so far, but not in a categorical manner.

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)2 Comments

US government-funded Frontline PBS recently published a video regarding alleged Russian “war crimes” from early 2022.

Despite over half a year to gather evidence, the video report categorically fails to prove the Russian massacres of Ukrainian civilians.

In the more than eight years of bombing the civilians of the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics, Ukraine has committed untold numbers of war crimes. These include bombing residential areas, markets, hospitals, schools, parks—including with prohibited heavy weapons and banned cluster munitions—and, since late July, raining banned “Petal” mines down on populated civilian areas, including the very center of Donetsk, including as recently as September 7.

NPR is Not Your Friend

NPR is a problem. Good and proper leftists who read Current Affairs may already realize this. “Of course. NPR (Neoliberal Propaganda Radio) is a bastion of establishment groupthink and orthodoxy that gives cover to imperialism and corporate capitalism.” By contrast, readers on the Right who find themselves consuming Current Affairs may have an equally disdainful but entirely different critique. “Of course. NPR is an elitist liberal propaganda cult that serves as a mouthpiece for the Democratic Party, is openly hostile to any conservative voices, and ought to be defunded!”
