They've been using cluster bombs since the first day of the war. He might as well have said they'll invade Ukraine "if they have to."

Heck, why not make it official? 90% of the world has.

Uuuuh... as far as I'm aware, Russia has already been using cluster munitions in Ukraine. They used cluster munitions in Chechnya and Syria as well - and lots of them.

The US used them extensively in Iraq and Afghanistan, too... but that's okay, because those people don't "look like us" (apparently).

It's kind of weird that people are only now making a big fuss about them.

We were making a big fuss back then. We also made a big fuss about Gitmo.
Nobody cared.

That's modern media to you, not about information more about making big noise for big money with nothing of matter behind.

Putin says Russia will ~~use~~ cluster bomb~~s in~~ Ukraine ~~if it has to~~

What he really means.

I will do cluster munitions. I used to, but I will, too.


Just need to image-meme up a picture of Master-Stragetarian Putin.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I thought it was just another indication that Putin really has no fucking clue WHAT is going on. It wouldn't surprise me if he believed Ukrainians were fighting with sticks and stones before the West started helping them out, but then again he also probably considers even that to be a threat to his fragile ego.

They literally used cluster bombs in Kharkiv last year. Fucking clowns.
