Ukraine’s use of (CCM) to evict Russian troops is legal & just

Russia, by using CCMs against Ukrainian cities, could not but call forth a like response

Arguments betray a historical naivety

Germans used chlorine gas. They were excoriated

In WWII British unleashed ~140 tons of chlorine gas

WWII USA was against bombing cities; yet did so themselves after entering the war

NBC: "Russia will use cluster bombs in Ukraine if it has to, Putin says"

It's been reported repeatedly since over a year ago that Russia has already been using against Ukraine. NBC weakly both-sides'd it at the end of the article 🤦‍♂️

The one consideration I haven’t seen anyone mention in the discussion of the tactical and ethical issues regarding the US providing to is that Ukraine is going to be using them to *defend* Ukranian territory, and the civilians that are endangered are their own citizens, and the Ukranian government is going to be responsible for cleaning up its own mess (except insofar as they can convince the Russians to help), which seems to me changes the moral calculus a bit.

"Si aprono a mezz’aria e disperdono decine, centinaia di sub-munizioni, su un’ampia area. Non solo uccidono al momento dell’impatto, ma lasciano anche una scia letale di ordigni inesplosi che minacciano le vite per anni."
