Cluster bombs

So, Bisen is giving cluster bombs to Ukraine now.



OK, I'm on the side of the conservative David Brooks for a change. And I'm not alone.

Top Dems break with Biden over sending cluster bombs to Ukraine

Key Democratic lawmakers are breaking with President Joe Biden over the controversial decision to send cluster bombs to Ukraine, arguing that providing the weapons, which are banned by more than 120 countries, cedes the moral high ground and will end up indiscriminately killing civilians ...

What is a cluster bomb, the controversial weapon the U.S. is sending to Ukraine?

I don't think we should be sending cluster bombs. Beating the bad guys by becoming the bad guys seems a flawed practical strategy, and morally wrong too. Churchill talked about "victory at all costs" because without victory, "there is no survival". I guess that's the thinking here. But then all our high and mighty rhetoric about good vs evil is just BS?
