Human Rights Defenders slam Biden Cluster Bomb baby killers

RINJ Women who once stood alongside Americans, guns pointed at ISIS, are now on a war footing against America’s child-killing cluster bomb crescendo.

On Tuesday the women announced an all out global boycott of American goods and services and named CNN as a target as well for its “aggressive selling of the Biden Administration’s child-killing escapades”. The key feature of cluster bombs is their everlasting ability to kill children.

He had shrapnel lodged in his brain and his doctors said he was not expected to survive. America used cluster bombs in Baghdad residential areas that are still killing children.

“American cluster munitions have been killing children in Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Montenegro, and Kosovo for many decades and continue to do so, 50 years after their release in Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam,” says Dale Carter of The RINJ Foundation who today attended a directors meeting to discuss the massive war crimes of Ukraine and its puppet masters, using cluster bombs in the Donbass region since October 2014.

Joe Biden says his war in Ukraine is running out of ammunition and he wants to keep the war going.

In a statement published on its web site, the global women and children’s rights group said, “The RINJ Foundation will be announcing more details of its boycott in the next 24 hours after it sends out emails to all its members. Millions of women members will be asked to begin the boycott of American-made goods and to spread the word.  That will include U.S. television/entertainment Democrat Party network CNN as letters start to go out to various carriers including cable and satellite service providers in Africa, Asia and Europe,” said the statement.

Explained Geraldine Frisque, spokesperson for the global RINJ NGO, “Placing $800 million worth of cluster bombs into Ukraine caused the Cable News Network’s (CNN) frantic turnabout on human rights. CNN is energetically explaining and supporting and even selling the White House abhorrent child-killing policy to the world, and that has many human rights defenders livid.”

Human rights defenders agree by consensus that:

  • Ukrainian forces have used cluster munitions that caused deaths and serious injuries to civilians.
  • Russian forces have extensively used cluster munitions, causing many civilian deaths and serious injuries.
  • Cluster munitions used by Russia and Ukraine are harming civilians now and will leave bomblets behind that will continue to do so for many years.
  • Both sides should immediately stop using cluster munitions and not seek to obtain more of these indiscriminate weapons.
  • The US should not transfer cluster munitions to Ukraine.
