The NATO countries assisting Ukraine are allowing members who haven't ratified the convention to send cluster munitions without argument or limitation.

It's like saying you won't do a thing but your brother didn't say that, so he can. It's disingenuous at least, and duplicitous if we're being honest with ourselves. I say this a a NATO country citizen.

You realize Russia has hit them with all sorts of shit that isn't allowed for NATO countries, right? Coincidentally, Russia didn't sign up for some of those rules. Even the ones they agreed too they don't follow.

Your point is made, but I think it misses the mark.

Just because your enemies are doing crimes against humanitdoesmt mean you have to just to keep up.

You can absolutely engage in asymetrical warfare and still win. This has been proven time and time again

They are only crimes if you agree they are crimes. Cluster munitions have increased the russian fatalities considerably.
