    Wuh-wuh-wuhddabout… Get a new tactic. That one is completely worn out at this point.

    For our other readers, those missiles were intended for the military facilities nearby and were shot down by Russian AA and debris fell on the beach (hence the lack of explosions)

      If the comment said “I hope israeli civilians see the horrors or war” I’m sure you would be just as generous with your thought process. Oh wait you’d be calling him straight up Genocidal.

      There is no whataboutism cluster munitions are illegal and this is a war crime. This is not debris this is the ATACKMS filled with m74 bomblets.

      Just be consistent in your morals. This is like someone defending Hamas gunning down non combatants.

        cluster munitions are illegal

        Well, depends on the country. For example, if you are in Ukraine or russia (and surprisingly, Finland) they are legal.

        Fun fact, there are only two major countries that employ cluster munitions the United States and Russia. Everybody else has banned them. Since Ukraine is using almost exclusively Russian and American stocks of munitions for this war…
