Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited the White House and both chambers of congress today, as Joe Biden pledges hundreds of millions more in military weapons.

It will also include controversial cluster munitions, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan confirmed. (read more)

Our U.S. government has no problem giving Ukraine cluster munitions to repel invaders….  Our borders, not so much.   See the hypocrisy?  Blood boiling.
