If cluster munitions are so evil, why do we have them in our stockpile?
Its ironic that the Obama Administration moved to retire cluster weapons while Trump stopped their destruction.
an Obama-era policy sought to gradually retire all U.S. cluster weapons with a dud-rate above 1%, leading to many such weapons being decommissioned or converted to other purposes, a move Biden expressed support for in 2006. However, this policy was canceled by the Trump administration.

n May 2008, then-Acting Assistant Secretary of State for Political-Military Affairs Stephen Mull stated that the U.S. military relies upon cluster munitions as an important part of their war strategy.[137] Mull emphasized that "U.S. forces simply cannot fight by design or by doctrine without holding out at least the possibility of using cluster munitions."
PT understands that this War is just useless distraction at this point, both sides need to come to the tabel.
We have these evil weapons in our stockpile because we have evil men in the MIC making the decisions to use them. NEVER assume just because it’s a policy from DC that it can’t be evil.
“If cluster munitions are so evil, why do we have them in our stockpile? “
Because they work.
Especially the BIG ones...

Because America might need cluster bombs for its own defense someday, as a next to last resort. I’m sure Trump never intended them to be used to enforce a eurotrash/neocon/NWO foreign policy.
We have them because they work,they were used in Vietnam,we should not be providing anything for Ukraine to cover up for Traitor Joe Biden and his corrupt family
