That is a fake meme, she didn’t say that.

The use of cluster bombs against civilians is what she agreed to as a possible war crime, which is true.

“The use of cluster bombs itself does not violate international law, but using them against civilians can be a violation. As in any strike, determining a war crime requires looking at whether the target was legitimate and if precautions were taken to avoid civilian casualties.

“The part of international law where this starts playing [a role], though, is indiscriminate attacks targeting civilians,” Human Rights Watch’s associate arms director Mark Hiznay told The Associated Press news agency. “So that’s not necessarily related to the weapons, but the way the weapons are used.”

Great meme.

It shows what lying hypocrites the Democrats are - especially Raggedy Jen, The Lying Ginger.

ANY use of cluster munitions is an indiscriminate attack targeting civilians - because after the hostilities cease, the unexploded bomblets are there to kill the innocent.

This is a war crime, and genocide against Russian speakers in Luhansk, Kherson, the Donbas and Zaporozhye.
