“”””Psaki was quoted in another FR thread that using clusterbombs is a war crime””””

You sort of rounded that one off.

The question—”is there a red line for how much violence will be tolerated against civilians in this manner that’s illegal and potentially a war crime?”

MS. PSAKI: It is — it would be. I don’t have any confirmation of that. We have seen the reports. If that were true, it would potentially be a war crime.


“The cluster munition attack with the highest known civilian casualties occurred on April 8, 2022, when Russia launched a Tochka-U ballistic missile equipped with a cluster munition warhead at a crowded train station in the eastern city of Kramatorsk as hundreds of people were trying to leave the area. A detailed Human Rights Watch investigation found that the attack killed at least 58 civilians and injured over 100 others.
