Cluster bombs are a lot like landmines in the fact that unexploded bombs WILL happen. They WILL be found by innocent children in the future. Those children WILL die or have their limbs blown off.
They are unquestionably evil.
… ON THE OTHER HAND … We are OUT of other ammunition to send to Ukraine, and if Ukraine can’t hold off the Russians, the Russians will kill children, and blow off their limbs. (And kidnap them and send them to be raised by Russian families).
So this truly is a lesser of two evils situation.
I don’t envy Biden having to make this call.
I understand how this could be a hard line for people of conscience.
This is a very tricky issue.
