Moscow will use its stockpile if Ukraine deploys the widely-banned munitions first, Putin said.

    Uuuuh… as far as I’m aware, Russia has already been using cluster munitions in Ukraine. They used cluster munitions in Chechnya and Syria as well - and lots of them.

    The US used them extensively in Iraq and Afghanistan, too… but that’s okay, because those people don’t “look like us” (apparently).

    It’s kind of weird that people are only now making a big fuss about them.

      We were making a big fuss back then. We also made a big fuss about Gitmo.
      Nobody cared.

      That’s modern media to you, not about information more about making big noise for big money with nothing of matter behind.

    Putin says Russia will use cluster bombs in Ukraine if it has to

    What he really means.

      I will do cluster munitions. I used to, but I will, too.

      Just need to image-meme up a picture of Master-Stragetarian Putin.
