I mean, I agree that selling weapons to war criminals is horrific. But the manufacturers aren't really at the heart of the problem so much as the US government. There are strict export laws regarding the defense industry. They aren't exactly jumping to sell WP to Russia (statement may be subject to change considering the Trump administration). They're acting in accordance with the desires of their biggest customer, the US government, which is currently (and has been for quite some time) supporting war criminals in Israel.
Ridiculous defense of immoral military contractors, and paired with Russiaphobia instead of mentioning the US allies actually deploying the white phosphorus on civilians. Classic astroturf.
