• Ukraine destroyed columns of waiting Russian soldiers with HIMARS, a Ukrainian commander said.
  • He said Ukraine targeted them as soon as it got permission to use allied weapons across the border.
  • Military experts say Ukraine’s ability to use Western-supplied weapons in Russia is aiding its fightback.

        Yes. I never said Russia did. Neither does israel.

        The question is whether we hold Ukraine to the same standard as Hamas.

          Then the question should be; are we holding Russia, Israel and Ukraine to the same standards at Hamas?

          Even that is a weird question because Hamas is not a country. It’s a terrorist organisation.

          I don’t get the point you’re trying to make here. I feel like you just want to hate on Ukraine. You are arguing that cluster bombs are illegal, which they are in most part of the world but not in Ukraine, and then crying about Ukraine using it, while blantly ignoring the human rights violations and war crimes committed. Things that are actually illegal internationally.

      Weird to segue directly from arguing that cluster munitions are illegal into claiming that the legality of weapons doesn’t matter, but okay

        Weird to claim that a country claiming their war crimes are legal makes it legal under international law.

      Check that link you posted. It’s only illegal in signatory countries. That’s how international law works. You can call it morally wrong, but if you call it illegal that’s just false unfortunately.
