WW III Escalation: Russia Blames U.S. for “Terrorist Attack” on Civilians Using Cluster Bombs Supplied to Ukraine

As most Americans enjoyed the beginning of the summer season here in the U.S. this weekend, many other places in the world experienced death and destruction as the current wars raging in Ukraine-Russia and in the Middle East seem to be taking a dramatic turn with some major escalations. First, it is being reported that 124 people were injured, including 27 children with 2 children dying, in the Russian city of Sevastopol, where Russia claims that Ukraine used U.S.-made ATACMS long-range missiles armed with cluster bombs, a deadly type of bomb known for causing massive civilian deaths, and which are banned in most countries around the world. Russia has said that the attack will not go unanswered. Meanwhile, Yemen's Houthi rebels continue to attack and sink ships in the Red Sea, in spite of the presence of the U.S. and UK navy patrolling the area for the past 6 months under Operation Prosperity Guardian. Last week, the Houthis released a dramatic video of a bulk carrier being blown apart in the Red Sea. Two more attacks in the Red Sea were reported earlier today as well. It is also possible that the USS aircraft carrier Eisenhower was hit by attacks in the Red Sea, as Pentagon leaders have now ordered the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower to return home. A Houthi military spokesman claims that they delivered a strike on the U.S. aircraft carrier, although U.S. officials are denying this. The USS Eisenhower will reportedly be replaced by the USS Theodore Roosevelt, which is curious because the Roosevelt is currently deployed in Busan, South Korea, where it arrived yesterday "as a show of force against nuclear-armed North Korea", after Russian President Putin made a rare visit to North Korea earlier in the week. This begs the question: Have the Houthis successfully tipped the balance in the world's naval forces where the U.S. Navy can no longer police countries around the world simultaneously?
