### Cluster bombs were delivered to the Ukrainian army and have already been used.

Deputy Chief of the Russian National Guard in the Donetsk People's Republic on the situation on the Southern Donetsk section of the front:

➡️ "Reports from the positions indicate that cluster munitions have been used against us. Three times. Since our personnel are in shelters, no damage has been inflicted, but the situation is indicative: the previous day, there was a noticeable decrease in artillery activity, presumably due to a shortage of conventional ammunition, and now #cluster munitions have arrived (either newly acquired or in reserve)."

➡️"In 2014, we encountered cluster munitions for the first time in the Peski area. Positioning ourselves in any wooded areas greatly helped us back then: the tree canopies absorbed a significant portion of the projectiles. Overall, this type of ammunition poses a particular danger to vehicles and personnel outside of shelters, as well as to non-combatants due to the high dispersion of the low-precision weapon."

One must recall that clusters have unique advantages but also unique disadvantages. Typical wooden trench covers can be easily destroyed by regular 155mm high explosive shells. But small bomblets can’t do anything to them, they’re simply too dispersed and not powerful enough. So if you’re in cover, cluster bombs are very weak and won’t do much to you.

But if you’re out in the open, then they can be a true menace because their area of dispersal is much wider than a normal shell and they can inflict damage to a much larger concentration of troops. So they are not some wonder weapon and in fact, personally, if I had even a shred of cover I’d likely much prefer the enemy to shoot clusters at me than the powerful high explosive rounds. To dispel a myth: clusters aren’t banned by some international conventions because they’re “so powerful” or do so much damage. They’re simply banned for the fact that many of the bomblets don’t explode and are later picked up by children, to whom they resemble small toys.

On that note, Shoigu has now officially stated that Russia has many types of cluster munitions and will be ‘forced to use them’ if the U.S. hands over clusters to the AFU:

With this ammunition, #Ukraine will not win the war. It will only lead to further killing and destruction. #Weapons will not end this conflict. It will only flush more taxpayers' money into the arms industry and its henchmen.

SITREP 7/14/23: Popov's Sound and Fury and Vilnius Signifying Nothing

Let’s begin with the most talked about news, which is that the Russian commander of the 58th Army was removed for allegedly questioning his higher-ups, i.e. Shoigu and Gerasimov. General Ivan Popov was replaced by Lt. General Lyamin, who was his...

12 years later, Cluster Bombs are still being used.

The most commonly quoted statistics used internationally are that civilians make up 98% of the victims of cluster bombs, and up to one third of these are children. quote source

Why the Fuss About Cluster Bombs

No war is pretty, and no weapon is gentle on its victims. What distinguishes cluster munitions from the usual run of the mill weapon is that they fall into a category called “legacy weapons”. Legacy weapons are those weapons which continue killing indiscriminately for years after a conflict ends.

(This work seems to correlate with The Michael Teachings and the theory about soul groups, and the theory that our #spirit guides are often discarnate members of our soul group who are.
#incarnate. )

"I introduce the work of Michael Newton: 'We are all members of soul cluster study groups' At any given time some of us are physically embodied and some of us are disembodied. When disembodied we seem to be in a classroom environment to help ourselves and each other to actualize our next step on our awakening journey."

Why #Twitter Didn’t Go Down

The first big point that is keeping the caches running is that they are ran as #Aurora jobs on #Mesos. Aurora finds servers for applications to run on, Mesos aggregates all the servers together so Aurora knows about them. Aurora will also keep applications running after they are started. If we say a #cache #cluster needs 100 servers, it will do its best to keep 100 running. If a server completely breaks for some reason, Mesos will detect this, remove the #server from its aggregated pool, Aurora will now be informed that there are only 99 caches running and then know it needs to find a new server from Aurora to run on. It will automatically find one and bring the total back to 100. No person needs to get involved.
