    do i understand correctly that you are implying ukraine, a country attempting to frame itself as a modern developed democracy, should base its policies on those of russia

      You think most modern developed democracys wouldn’t busy these kind of weapons out if they were being attacked by them? It just helps that most modern developed democracys haven’t faced being invaded since WW2.

        im unaware of the specific part of thr CCM that says ‘unless we get attacked’, and marking something as a warcrime usually doesnt come with the caveat ‘unless there is a war’

        i also like to think that bombing several voters for every enemy combatant wouldnt sell all that well to said voters

        im kidding of course, what with a third of the casualties of cluster bombs being children

        kids cant vote whether theyre alive or a red chunky smear

          We wouldn’t even be providing these weapons if they hadn’t been attacked first?

            im glad that your second favourite option, after modeling foreign policy and military tactics on those of russia, is modeling it after third graders

            if a third of the folks youre killing being children is just the price youre willing to pay at least grow a spine and say so instead of pretending that russia is making you resort to shamelessly partaking in borderline warcrimes instead of using any other weapon
