USA sending #cluster #munitions to #Ukraine is as cynical and wrong as war can get. As a EU citizen i can't imagine either to support membership of a country, that uses such #inhumane munition.

This is wrong.

@jrp You must be able to admit there is a massive difference between using such weapons in self defense of your own country vs using them just to kill whoever you can just because you don’t like them.

Ukraine are fighting for their right to exist. It is our fullest obligation to support them in that struggle. If not we accept the russian terror.

Please explain what your way would be for Ukraine to get rid of their unwanted occupants?

@Carl-Henrik Barnekow No, because then there'd be a massive reason to use any inhumane weapon including nuclear bombs in self defense. I see no sense in creating reasons for exceptions there. Those exceptions would then only be repeated, when whomever sees that fit.

@jrp Still want to hear how you would get russian soldiers out of Ukraine if Ukraine isn’t allowed to use any conventional weapon they want. Cluster bombs are not nice, but they are not nuclear or chemical.

Please, enlighten us with your plan!

@Carl-Henrik Barnekow "Enlighten us"? How many are you, then, in your own perception?
Please clear the exact number first, thanks.

@jrp you have me, @NatalieDavis & @ThisThornyRose to start with. That makes three people = definition of us. Then you have the rest of the #NAFO community who I think also gladly would like to know your way of solving it.

Have you raised your voice against russia’s use of cluster weapons during the war?
