I have two question.

Since cluster bombs are dropped from planes etc... and they’re only going to be used in Ukraine..

. and since civilized countries don’t use them because the unexploded ones can maim and kill people years later...

and since we’re told Ukraine is a democracy...

Why don’t the Ukrainians have a referendum so citizens can weigh in on the use of these horrible cluster bombs. And will Americans be the people who have to ‘find and defuse’ them after this war?

And Second question:

What do we do when Putin uses internationally outlawed horrible weapons too?

Most of these are 155 shells, not for aircraft.

Civilized countries use CBs or we wouldn’t have them and sell them to allies.

Russia has been using CBs since the first days of the invasion, even Ukraine has been using them some.

Luckily Zelenskyy has cancelled elections until after the war, so no democracy.

Two, it’s only bad when we don’t do it…

155mm DPICM, not aircraft bombs. That’s what’s on the list.

Given the vast number of shells that have already been fired by both sides, the high dud rste of especially Russian ammo, the use of mines by the millions, and the extensive Russian use of cluster munitions already, adding the US made stuff is a moot point. There are parts of Ukraine that are going to be dangerous for a long time.
