Early in the war, the Biden administration alleged that Russia was using cluster bombs and claimed this would be a “war crime” if true. Now Biden is trying to counter critics by claiming that U.S. cluster bombs, with an alleged dud rate of 2.5%, have a lower dud rate than Russia’s bombs.

No joke necessary.

In their drive to win this war against Russia at any cost, members of the Biden administration have even suggested the use of “limited” nuclear weapons in Ukraine, even making ungrounded claims that Russia will do this first.

Am I reading this wrong, or is the writer implying here that members of the Biden administration have suggested that the US government would use "limited" nuclear weapons in Ukraine?

Yes, also they don't even hide it that it will be false flag.
