The Left Was Wrong, Wrong, Wrong on Cluster Munitions
Ted Bromund / @Bromund / Steven Groves / @stevegroves / July 13, 2023
 

For well over a decade, the Left has waged war on cluster munitions.

Left-wing nongovernmental organizations and other groups have demonized them, liberal U.S. administrations have downplayed them, and the left-leaning media have exaggerated the civilian casualties they cause.

But now, in a complete about-face, the U.S. has agreed to supply cluster munitions to the embattled forces of Ukraine in its war against Russia.

That’s the right decision. But in coming belatedly to it, the Biden administration has effectively admitted that the Left’s case against cluster munitions was baseless.

Cluster munitions are a form of ammunition—bombs and artillery shells, usually—that contains lots of smaller sub-munitions. When fired, the larger munition splits open and blankets the target area with the sub-munitions.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.
