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

I don't agree with the use of these weapons, ever, but let's not deceive ourselves that they've not been being used throughout the conflict already.

And just so I understand your point, you're suggesting that if the use of these weapons systems, which are already being used in this fight, incites Russia to use nuclear weapons, that will be the fault of the US, and not the fault of Russia who both started this war of aggression and escalated it to the use of nuclear weapons in your hypothetical. Do I have that right?

The US started the war in Ukraine by staging a coup in 2014, which instated a fascist leader that took away all civil rights of the citizens. The US is responsible for every single death in the war but they don't give a shit because at the end of the day they are all Russians to them. "Best money we've ever spent". Statement by Senator Lindsey Graham during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv.

You aren't very bright either if you believe everything mainstream media tells you.
