So it's official. We are sending cluster bombs to the Ukraine in direct violation of both US and international law. The reason they are illegal is simple: a number of the bomblets do not immediately explode (the so-called dud rate) and instead lay on or just under the ground waiting for years or even decades to blow off body parts and kill people (especially children). Just as a real-world example, cluster bombs that we dropped on Cambodia and Laos back in the late 1960's are still killing and disabling people. Our excuse for sending this shit, most of which has been sitting around in warehouses for decades, is that we have simply run out of conventional artillery rounds.
OK, let me get this straight. The most powerful military the world has ever known cannot keep up with Russia in the production and deployment of something as low-tech as artillery shells? Ya know, Russia, that third-world shit hole country that can't do much of anything, other than taking and holding enemy territory, something the US hasn't been able to do since WWII.
Whatever. What I think or what any citizen of the US thinks no longer matters. The dumb fuckers will be throwing around their fucking cluster bombs that will be fucking up Ukrainian and Russian kids for the next six decades or so.
