[Politico] U.S. to include controversial cluster munitions in new Ukraine weapons package
  • I disagree. The trouble with cluster bombs (as with landmines) is that they are indiscriminate killers. Sure, they may kill some Russian soldiers now, but the ones that don't explode (a huge minority of them) will remain in the ground until an innocent Ukrainian child gets blown up years from now.

    It's fine to cheer on the 'killing Russian soldiers' part, but when it comes to cluster bombs that comes hand in hand with 'killing innocent civilians, years after the conflict ends', which is less okay.

    Russia reducing its presence at nuclear plant, says Ukraine
  • Grossi asserted that he "didn't see that kind of development" on the ground, but also that "anything can happen, that is what worries me".

    IAEA is not confirming it, but I think it's a stretch to get "pure deranged nonsense" from that quote.
