What are your views on the deployment of this ordnance in Ukraine?
As much as I hope Ukraine can reclaim all its territory and kick the Russians back to the Urals I am dubious about this use of munitions whereby 120 countries have banned this use. I am sure there will be no peaceful resolution to this illegal invasion or a capitulation and it will be a war to the finish.
Do you think the Ukrainians may be shooting themselves in the foot ?. The Ukraine territory is already littered with Russian minefields and indiscriminate booby traps to kill and maim civilians. This will keep the de-mining and bomb disposal units busy for years to come and long after hostilities cease.
Bearing in mind that Cambodian Farmers and children today are still being killed and maimed long after the Vietnam war finished despite the best efforts of mine clearing charities.
Do any ABers think the Ukraine is wise to deploy these munitions on their own land?.
The problematic issue is that unless the cluster bombs are aimed directly at the Kremlin, Putin couldn't give two hoots. His own civilians will suffer, but since when has he cared for any human life apart from his own?
