The rationale of not allowing cluster bombs is NOT based on what the enemy is doing, but the effects on the cluster bombs after the war.
I'm not saying they should not be given to Ukraine, but simply pointing out that you're arguing the wrong argument.
Edit: I have seen good arguments for giving the bombs to Ukraine, and tend to agree with them. I.e., their use is rather localized at this point of the war.
- yakshaving_jgt 3y agoThe cluster munitions are going to be used against russian defensive positions on agricultural UKRAINIAN territory. It's entirely up to Ukraine what they do with their own land. And the options at this point are: 1. Remove russian terrorists with cluster munitions, with the potential for civilian casualties. 2. Allow russian terrorists to continue raping, torturing, and murdering civilians in Ukraine.
