• Ukraine destroyed columns of waiting Russian soldiers with HIMARS, a Ukrainian commander said.
  • He said Ukraine targeted them as soon as it got permission to use allied weapons across the border.
  • Military experts say Ukraine’s ability to use Western-supplied weapons in Russia is aiding its fightback.

    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.

          Weird to segue directly from arguing that cluster munitions are illegal into claiming that the legality of weapons doesn’t matter, but okay

            Weird to claim that a country claiming their war crimes are legal makes it legal under international law.

      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…
