US President Joe Biden has agreed to give Ukraine anti-personnel land mines, a US defence official told the BBC, a move seen as an attempt to slow Russian troops who have been steadily advancing in Ukraine’s east in recent months.
The official, who was speaking on condition of anonymity, said such mines would be delivered soon and Washington expected that they would be used on Ukraine’s territory.
Ukraine was also committed to not using the mines in densely-populated areas, the official said. More
Ukraine is part of the Ottawa Treaty which makes land mines illegal for signatory nations. The mines we’re giving Ukraine are “non-persistent” meaning they deactivate over time. Here
Russia however never signed the treaty and has been planting antipersonnel mines all over Ukrainian territory. Here
The push for nuclear war continues. I hope Trumps talking to Putin and telling him we will turn over this entire administration and the Russians can try the for war crimes. Fuck these idiots.
Those who possess the Biden Crime Family Laptop control Joe Biden.
Biden’s handlers (Obama and the deep state scum that control him) are bound and determined to leave Trump and the rest of us with WWIII. I hope that the dims finally wake up and see this for the treasonous act that it is (a guy can dream can’t he). I also hope that the incoming Trump administration has a back channel to Putin so that we can avoid nuclear war when all sane people everywhere don’t want it. If anyone had any doubts as to how insanely the dims would react to losing power at this stage, this escalation by the “Biden administration” should prove what kind of evil scum has been ruling us from the shadows for the last several years.
@Bubba’s Brother
Exactly, the very realistic outcome of nuclear war would be removing either Ukraine or Washington DC from the map.
Remember when the left was a big opponent to land mines??? Biden and his handlerd have lost their minds.
“This situation will get out of control. It will get out of control and we will be lucky to live through it.”
They really want to screw Trump over while they shove Putin’s face in the mud. This is mega stupid.
The TRAITOROUS BASTARDS running this administration are desperate to turn this into hot war! Is there even a single lib or rino that will stand up and holler ENOUGH?
When they asked Biden if he wanted to send land mines to Ukraine he gave permission thinking the were referring to the turds he leaves around the White House.
Biden is going to assist Putin in turning Eastern Ukraine into another Chernobyl like no go zone and they won’t need nukes to do it.
Do you want a World War?
Because this is how you get a World War.
that non persistent line was a real hoot. someone should ask what the failure rate of the self destructions is. oh the mines don’t always self destruct after the given time? ask me how I know.
Ukraine to Receive Shipments of US Land Mines
I’m OK with this as long as the mines are sent in plain packaging and delivered at random to Ukraine govt offices and to the homes of their corrupt bosses.
(I’m not serious, of course, but the idea DOES make me grin grimly.)
The BBC is full of shit. Ukraine has been using landmines throughout this entire conflict. They’re just running out and need some to sprinkle around as they run back to Kiev.
“The United States is not a member, but in June 2022, President Joe Biden set the US goal of ultimately joining the treaty…”
but but but Russia landmines and stuff! Get bent, BBC.
Two months from now, this loser goes into the dustbin of history, but 60 days is plenty of time for this corrupt fraud to inflict serious damage to America and abroad.
Watch for scorched earth. Biden is a wounded bear; a mentally deficient, morally perverted danger.
@Have Gun,
Worse, his puppeteers have no accountability and nothing to lose.
If Trump were in office right now I’d like to see him ship 10 Tons of Backyard Landmines to ’em!!
GITMO is going to be full of Bidens and commie cronies.
