Daily on Defense — ‘Everything is burning’: Cluster bombs rain down on Russian troops in Ukraine
“We have gotten some initial feedback from the Ukrainians, and they're using them quite effectively,’ NSC spokesman John Kirby said in a White House briefing. “They're using them appropriately … and they are actually having an impact on Russia's defensive formations and Russia's defensive maneuvering.”
“Standing in their way are sometimes three-deep Russian lines of defense, and, of course, some significant minefields. It is difficult to go through a minefield … when you're being shelled, which the Ukrainians are.”PRIORITY ON ‘FOUR As,’ NOT F-16s: In a separate interview on Fox News, Kirby said that U.S. F-16s will likely join the battle by the end of the year, but quickly added, “It's not our assessment that the F-16s alone would be enough to turn the tide here.
FALSE FLAG WARNING: As Russia refused to extend the Black Sea grain deal, it issued an ominous threat to all ships going in or out of Ukrainian seaports. “With the Black Sea Grain Initiative expired, all vessels heading for Ukrainian ports via the Black Sea will be regarded as potential carriers of military cargo” subject to attack by Russian warships.
Ukraine issued its own warning to Russia, parroting the language of the Russian declaration. “Ministry of Defense of Ukraine warns that from 00:00 July 21, 2023, all vessels heading through the waters of the Black Sea in the direction of seaports of the Russian Federation and Ukrainian seaports located on the territory of Ukraine that is temporarily occupied by Russia may be considered by Ukraine as carrying military cargo with all the associated risks.
The committee approved Air Force Gen. C. Q. Brown to be chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Gen. Randy George to be chief of staff of the Army, and sent them to the floor, where their fate remains uncertain. Tuberville is insisting the Pentagon rescind the policy, and then if it wants to reinstate it, the Senate should vote on whether to permit it. A stand-alone bill would have little chance of getting the necessary 60 votes.
“These significant new rotational deployments are part of the military buildup that the Department of Defense started in May in response to Iranian maritime aggression,” said Bradley Bowman, senior director of the Center on Military and Political Power at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. “ It is noteworthy that Iranian naval forces seeking to illicitly seize commercial vessels tend to think twice when the U.S. military shows up.
