On July 7th, Biden said the US was running low on ammunition. Since they don't really care about civilian casualties, tapping into the cluster bomb stockpile was a no-brainer.

This is a war relating to munitions. And they’re running out of that ammunition, and we’re low on it. And so, what I finally did, I took the recommendation of the Defense Department to – not permanently – but to allow for this transition period while we get more 155 weapons, these shells, for the Ukrainians.

Pretty sad.
