"Biden's Decision to Send Cluster Bombs to Ukraine Sparks Controversy and Concern"

TL;DR Summary
The Biden administration's decision to authorize the shipment of cluster munitions to Ukraine is morally bankrupt and unnecessary. Cluster bombs have a devastating impact on civilians, causing long-lasting harm and creating dangerous minefields. The dud rate of these bombs is high, posing a threat to both Ukrainian civilians and soldiers. The use of cluster bombs by Russia in Ukraine does not justify Ukraine's use of these indiscriminate weapons, as it would undermine the moral high ground and international bans. Instead, Ukraine should rely on precision-guided munitions and defensive weapons to defend itself against Russia's illegal invasion.
