🚨 PENTAGON URGES WHITE PHOSPHORUS FOR UKRAINE | WHITE HOUSE RESISTS

The Pentagon has repeatedly recommended supplying Ukraine with white phosphorus shells, primarily for battlefield illumination and smoke screens, but the White House has rejected the proposal due to concerns over civilian harm.

White phosphorus, known for its extreme burn hazards, is controversial despite not being classified as a chemical weapon.

Rights advocates have raised alarms about its use in civilian areas.

The Biden administration is hesitant to authorize this… for a war that they’re not technically involved in.
