The Official Website of the Chinese People's Liberation Army(#PLA) condemns #US shipments of #clustermunitions to #Ukraine, because they "pose long-term threats to the civilians". So far so good, but it does not equally condemn use by #Russia. It would be good if this article were a serious rethinking of #China's policy on cluster munitions and result in a decision to join the global ban by acceding to the Convention on Cluster Munitions. #banclusterbombs http://eng.chinamil.com.cn/OPINIONS_209196/Opinions_209197/16240659.html

Ukraine’s use of #ClusterMunitions (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 #clustermunitions against Ukraine. NBC weakly both-sides'd it at the end of the article 🤦♂️

Instead the #House moved forward on Thurs, w/the fate of the $886 billion bill still in doubt. The far right’s proposals to strip away #military assistance for #Ukraine stand little chance of passage given the strong bipartisan consensus behind the aid, but it was not clear whether a proposal to bar the #Biden admin from sending #ClusterMunitions might draw enough bipartisan backing to succeed.

Commander of #Ukraine ground forces confirms receipt of US #ClusterMunitions
“We just got them, we haven't used them yet, but they can radically change [the battlefield]. The enemy will give up that part of the terrain where it is possible to use this."

The one consideration I haven’t seen anyone mention in the discussion of the tactical and ethical issues regarding the US providing #ClusterMunitions to #Ukraine 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."
