“To those rightly raising questions about the US decision to send cluster munitions to 🇺🇦, your concerns about “war crimes” & international law today would have had a lot more credibility if you raised similar concerns the previous 499 days about 🇷🇺 using such weapons against 🇺🇦.” Michael McFaul

Sure. Agreed. The Ukrainian's can dictate if they want to use it on their own land, with an understanding of future repercussions of demining and making the land safe. Ethically, I will be very opposed to Ukraine deploying CBs on Russian civilian centers (actual Russia, not the made up one from Putin's decree).

Pop off on Luhansk, Donetsk, and Sevestapol. Don't employ CBs on Krasnodar.

I'm sorry to be that man, but I'll remind you that russia was using CBs basically from day one. Having a moral high ground is cool, but we need to protect ourselves. We need to do that any way possible. It's weird that you think Ukraine should be able to endanger itself, but not the enemy's territory.

Not by attacking and endangering noncoms, no thank you
