Like me, you know some of those types.  They will never do any actual research - they will just find a blog with anonymous comments that agrees with them and call it a day.  Hell, if I had never met my Qanon in-law that's supporting Russia, I would think she's a bot.  She gets angry when presented with quotes/video directly from Putin and other Russian leaders that contradicts what she believes and tries to make an excuse and claim that it's not what they really mean and that they are just messing with the West, but she wholeheartedly agrees when @rusbot32590ska98 on twitter says something good about Russia or bad about Ukraine or the US.

I am pissed because we have a mountain of cluster ammunition in the calibers needed by Ukraine’s artillery. The US is not a signatory to treaties banning its use.  Moreover, Russia is using cluster ammunition.   The more important thing is, Ukraine has no qualms about receiving it and understands that those munitions pose a risk in future - as many smaller clusters do not explode and pose a danger to civilians.  That should be Ukraine‘s decision, not ours.

What is more dangerous to Ukrainian civilians is allowing Russia to ethnically cleanse them all.   Ukraine need shells. We have millions of shells that we could send them. Ukraine has asked for those specific shells knowing the risk. As the US has not signed any treaties saying we cannot use them, we should be sending a mountain of shells and a smaller mountain of barrels that will need replacing after Ukraine expands hundreds of thousands of those on Orcs invading their land. 

I am getting a bit rage-y reading about shell exhaustion when tens of thousands of Ukrainian civilians are being killed by Russia.   It’s like saying we are out of 5.6 ammo to send to Ukraine when we have 50 million green tip 5.6 rounds * that we have decided aren’t suitable to send.  Mind bottling, as it were.

* yeah, I know there is a difference between green tip and  AP, I’m just trying to make a distinction without a good difference example.

I defer to better informed opinions, but I feel that cluster munitions feeds into a lot of the "both sides commit war crimes" false equivalency talking points? To the (even less) informed than myself it sounds negative and war crime adjacent.

Also does unexploded ordinance not create a problem as Ukraine is trying to retake the very territory they must shell?

(I fully understand the Russian atrocities, terror tactics etc.)

It absolutely creates a problem.  As I said earlier, the country who is being invaded should have a greater say in what risks it is willing to take in the future by using that ordinance than countries who are NOT being invaded and their citizens slaughtered tortured and raped.

If a country being attacked deems avoiding genocide a greater good to that country than facing future unexploded ordinance, how can we judge? Lord knows they will get aid in removing it if the prevail.  Again, this is not just ‘war as hell’ type stuff, this is the express and clearly and multiply annunciated desire of Russia to destroy Ukraine, its culture, its language, it’s people and it’s sovereignty.

Also, add in that the shells will be used on actual military targets trying to commit genocide against your country.   Add in that same invader is routinely threatening to use nuclear weapons to attack Britain, France, Finland, Sweden, America, and Ukraine.  

I think I’m going to slow my moral indignation roll on Ukraine using cluster shells in that scenario. 

Again, that is only my personal take.

On cluster munitions, they are already in theater for the Ukrainians.  You can bet dollars to donuts the US orchestrated the Pakistani ones.

Pure self serving poppycock, not at all surprising.

1.  China on respecting sovereignty- that's rich, see Tibet and Taiwan (but hey one China doesn't apply!)

2.  Abandonment of the cold war mentality - sure when you are attempting to become a superpower in your own right, I guess you might want everyone to ignore your misdeeds.

3.  Ceasing hostilities - ok, tell Russia to leave, conflict over.  Don't see you doing that.

4.  Peace talks - see 3

5.  Resolving humanitarian crisis - Ok, nice thought again see point 3 (also rich coming from China, maybe they can throw more babies in the river)

6.  POW treatment - I hope you are pointing this at the orcs.

7.  Nothing to argue here - but hey, russia been using these as defense shields

8.  Nuclear saber rattling has been entirely on the russian side.  So maybe we ought do something about the folks doing the rattling?

9.  Of course they want grain deals, lots of mouths to feed

10.  Sanctions - see point 8 and 3 a-holes

11.  Supply chains - ok, you want to trade with the russians freely, we get it, to further your own interests.

12.  Reconstruction - so they want in on this to give leg breaker deals to "help out"
