As in the case of the US transfer of cluster munitions to the Ukraine with US congressional "progressives" pulling up the rear.
Biden's Cluster Munitions Transfer to Ukraine Ripped as 'Terrible Mistake' by Top Dems.
It is almost comical that congressional "progressives" would be mistaken as "Top Dems", suggesting that were they in fact Top Dems they would behave in exactly the same manner as well as Top Repugs.
In fashionable politician parlance the progressives' letter states:
That is why since Fiscal Year 2010, and in all subsequent appropriations bills including last year, Congress has enacted severe restrictions on the transfer of cluster munitions with bipartisan support.
Excuse me WTF good is "severe restrictions" when the Congress could have banned such weapons? Sneaky little fakers.
Then this self-serving group pat on all of their congregating backs:
The United States has a proud commitment to global moral leadership and the defense of human rights.
Wow. Shameless. That statement will sneak up on serious and real people and leave their mouths open. Imagine what the opposite of this global moral leadership must look like.
And the moral grandstanding is topped by:
We can and will continue to support our Ukrainian allies' defense against Russia's aggression.
How can lawyers write so deliberately loosely?
Pramila Jayapal (WA-07), James P. McGovern (MA-02), Barbara Lee (CA-12), Ilhan Omar (MN-05), Greg Casar (TX-35), Sara Jacobs (CA-51), Jamaal Bowman, Ed.D.

"...We didn't say we supported Ukraine, you know, the former Nazi infested, democracy and free speech-loving Ukraine that we all recognized years ago until it became convenient to go blind and pretend they are corrupt like us, nice and cuddly, what we are trying to say that our support is for our Ukrainian allies defense...blah, blah, blob."
Like Victoria Nuland's slip of the tongue regarding her $5 billion investment in the murderous overthrow of the elected government of Ukraine... nothing to see here, we are not the war criminals you are looking for... move along.
I don't know whether these "progressive" folks are ready to stand up for ending the U.S. Perpetual War project. I have to work on my own house first. As they say in the case of darts bouncing instead of sticking in the dartboard, "hard cheese". Our work is cut out when we have so-called progressives pretending that not only are their legislative efforts being ignored but that they are moral globalists. Definitely hard cheese.
Joe Biden's 360 Degree Turn on "Cluster Bombs by Michael Roberts gives us serious reminders that mumbling and stumbling insane U.S. leadership is dangerously passe'.
