Since Vietnam, the U.S. has used cluster bombs in wars including the 1999 NATO air campaign against Yugoslavia; the 1991 Desert Storm war in Iraq and Kuwait; and in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Yemen during the so-called War on Terror. U.S. cluster munitions have been linked to birth defects, miscarriages, cancers and other ailments.
Earlier this year, the U.S. began sending artillery-fired cluster munitions to Ukraine. Russian and Ukrainian forces have both killed and wounded soldiers and civilians with cluster bombs during the war.
“The decision by the Biden administration to transfer cluster munitions to Ukraine in my opinion was unnecessary and a sad mistake,” U.S. Rep. Betty McCollum told her House colleagues Wednesday.
“The legacy of U.S. cluster munitions… undermines our moral authority and places the U.S. in a position that directly contradicts 23 of our NATO allies who have joined the Convention on Cluster Munitions.”
“The legacy of cluster bombs is misery, death, and expensive cleanup after generations of use,” McCollum added. “These weapons should be eliminated from our stockpiles.”
Last week, Biden informed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that the United States will provide Kyiv with long-range missiles with cluster munition warheads. https://consortiumnews.com/2023/09/28/us-lawmakers-reject-cluster-bomb-ban/?eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=ca15706f-5211-48bc-8e1d-7c2a6e0059e0

DHS denied Trump's Secret Service detail requested additional support. After the official Republican nomination Trump's detail would be increased automatically.

Majority of police have no training and are poor at diplomatic security.
FBI brings in evidence teams after releasing eye witnesses, and it is all filmed.
