Biden faced criticism last week after announcing the U.S. would supply Ukraine with cluster bombs. Are these weapons a step too far? See perspectives and analysis across the spectrum from WSJopinion, BBCWorld, and nytopinion:
described cluster bombs as a “method of dispersing large numbers of tiny bomblets from a rocket, missile or artillery shell that scatters them in mid-flight over a wide area.” When the small bombs do not explode on impact, they run the risk of becoming landmines scattered over a large area. Over 100 countries have banned cluster munitions. Both Russia and Ukraine have used them since the start of the war.
” Outlining the potential risks and dangers involved in the use of cluster munitions, the Board determined providing these weapons is “morally repugnant for the indiscriminate carnage it can cause long after the combatants have gone.”Editorial Board’s only criticism was that “the decision could have done more good earlier.” The article outlined how U.S. cluster munitions have a much lower rate of duds bombs than the Russian’s.
