I don't really understand why the US is even considering giving Ukraine cluster bombs. They are banned in a lot of countries for a reason and Russia was rightly criticized for using them.

On July 7th, Biden said the US was running low on ammunition. Since they don't really care about civilian casualties, tapping into the cluster bomb stockpile was a no-brainer.

This is a war relating to munitions. And they’re running out of that ammunition, and we’re low on it. And so, what I finally did, I took the recommendation of the Defense Department to – not permanently – but to allow for this transition period while we get more 155 weapons, these shells, for the Ukrainians.

Pretty sad.
