MOSCOW, 24 Jul. Joe Biden's decision to supply Ukraine with cluster munitions was a mistake, University of Colorado political science assistant professor Peter Harris told 19FortyFive.
According to the author, disarmament activists and human rights activists consider these weapons to be indiscriminate and inhuman in nature.
«Perhaps the most common reason why Ukraine should be provided with cluster munitions is that it risks losing without them. The importance of this cannot be overstated: if any of the above arguments become a legitimate excuse to violate the ban, <…> everyone else is questionable, too,» Harris said.
The whole point of respecting arms control is that they cannot be used under any circumstances, whatever the temptation, he concluded.
