Can you just imagine if Trump had done this?

He would have been charged as a war criminal in two shakes of a lamb's tail.

Regarding the Concention on Cluster Munitions, 111 countries are state parties : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_on_Cluster_Munitions

The United States, Russia, and Ukraine are not among their number. (Neither are Turkey, India, China, or Brazil for that matter.)

People freaking out about these weapons being some kind of inherent “war crime” don’t know what they’re talking about.

“”””Can you just imagine if Trump had done this?””””

“The Defense Department had been due by 2019 to stop use of any cluster munitions with a rate of unexploded ordnance greater than 1%. But the Trump administration rolled back that policy, allowing commanders to approve use of such munitions.”
