He acknowledged the difficulty of his decision and the danger posed by the cluster munitions to civilians. Biden explained that Ukraine is being brutally attacked and is running out of ammunition, which prompted him to approve the temporary transfer of these munitions with a low dud rate.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Joe Biden just told the world that the United States is running low on ammunition. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/oRn2smkE56\">pic.twitter.com\/oRn2smkE56<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 DR.

Washington Examiner chief political correspondent Byron York argued that Biden&#8217;s admission of munitions weakness undermines the transfer of weapons to Ukraine. Others pointed out the contradiction between the administration&#8217;s claim that Russia is experiencing ammunition shortages and Biden&#8217;s statement about Ukraine&#8217;s ammunition shortage.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these controversies, the main takeaway from the CNN interview is that U.S. support for Ukraine is depleting American military equipment and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/marines-reject-covid-vaccine-exemptions-potentially-forcing-thousands-out-of-service-2\/\" title=\"Marines Reject COVID Vaccine Exemptions, Potentially Forcing Thousands Out of Service\">impacting military readiness<\/a>. This situation is likely to worsen, especially when the president openly acknowledges the stockpile weakness. It is a concern that rivals and enemies around the world can hear.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-critical-american-stockpile-weakness-slip-cnn-interview-low\/\">The Western Journal<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden&#8217;s decision to send cluster munitions to Ukraine has sparked controversy.
