“To those rightly raising questions about the US decision to send cluster munitions to 🇺🇦, your concerns about “war crimes” & international law today would have had a lot more credibility if you raised similar concerns the previous 499 days about 🇷🇺 using such weapons against 🇺🇦.” Michael McFaul

If Ukraine was given fighter jets and sufficient anti-air capacity about 499 days ago there would be much less need for artillery. That isn't what happened. These weapons will leave that portion of Ukraine uninhabitable for decades if not longer.
These aren't like the cluster munitions the Soviet Union used in Afghanistan. These have a lower failure rate and aren't camouflaged.
Doesn't matter much if they are better. They are still hell on civilians, but this is an existential threat. There are going to be no Ukrainians if they don't get more ammo
Yes it's Ukraine's choice and I suspect this will save lives in the long run by ending the war sooner.
