I was troubled by his decision to send cluster munitions to Ukraine as well. However, one important fact swung me in favor of it: the Ukrainians are deploying said munitions on their own soil, meaning it’s their civilians that will be in danger of being harmed by them in the future, not the civilians of a foreign country. Ukraine thus has an interest in being careful and cleaning up the bomblets after the war is over (assuming they win and keep their territory). The main problem I have with these bombs and land mines is that they’re typically deployed by an invading army and thus pose a threat to civilians they don’t give a damn about. When it’s on your own ground, that’s another story entirely. Ukraine is using these munitions out of desperation, and if they want to gamble their people’s lives on it, that’s their choice. I totally understand it.
