    That isnt for cluster munitions good. Its extreme whataboutism.

    Absolutely gross comment promoting more harm.

        The enimies use of banned weapons is not justification to use those same weapons. Can you outline why the only way to win is for Ukraine to use cluster bombs?

          Because that’s the only thing we can get right now. We don’t have enough artillery shells, we don’t have enough weapons, we don’t have enough modern tanks/transport vehicles/planes. Every bit helps. We won’t be able to win this war with sticks and stones.

      No it’s russia desperatly trying to harm Ukraine ability to defend itself. By using ignorance to limit access to themselves.

      You’d have a point about what aboutism. If we were talking about russias use elsewhere or in the past.

      But we are not. You are talking about a nation turning to the same weapons an invader is using. And saying stop. While allowing the invader to carry on with no threat of return attacks.

      Russia is using you to harm others.

          I dont know about that. But I definatly question anyone who is not an actual victim of Russian cluster bombs. Telling victims they cannot fire back.

          Or even build up a stock to remind Russian citizens they may want to stop their ownb government using them.
