The Hypocrisy of US Involvement in Ukraine: Biden Administration's Decision to Send Cluster Munitions (www.youtube.com)

The Biden Administration's decision to send cluster munitions to Ukraine showcases the hypocritical and self-serving nature of US involvement in the conflict. While claiming to support Ukraine against Russia, the US disregards the risks to civilian lives and international agreements. This move reflects the pursuit of American global dominance, prioritizing its own interests over the well-being of Ukrainian civilians. The escalation of the conflict and potential use of nuclear weapons further exposes the deceptive nature of US foreign policy and its disregard for human life.

This winy pretentious asshole? Really? That's who's opinion we're considering anymore? Look, for those that think like this guy does here's the deal: Don't want war crimes done to you while invading a sovereign nation under BS pretenses? Fucking leave.

Oh are Ukrainian civilians in danger? How would you calculate the risk of cluster munitions to Ukrainian civilians? Here's some math for you: If the number of Russian casualties CMs inflict forces Russia to withdraw even 1 day earlier than without then take that risk, realizing it will be mitigated by significant effort to find and defuse any stragglers WHILE DOING SO ANYWAYS FOR ALL THE MINES EVERYWHERE ALREADY, and weigh it against the far more actually costly and constant threat the Russian campaign of missile and drone terrorism is for these same civilians.

At the very least (edit: Ukrainian) CMs will be used in areas far away from any Civilian presence and won't be targeting hospitals and schools. FFS
