    The subtext of the war where USA can't fully condemn Russia because USA has done this stuff is worth reflecting on.https://twitter.com/KenRoth/status/1500953890094735361 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    US Ambassador to the UN Thomas-Greenfield condemned Russian use of cluster munitions, saying this indiscriminate weapon "has no place on the battlefield." The US Mission then deleted her comment from the transcript because the Pentagon won't endorse a ban. https://responsiblestatecraft.org/2022/03/04/the-uss-hypocritical-criticism-of-russia-for-deploying-exceptional-lethal-weaponry/ …

        The US has not made it a policy to deliberately bomb maternity hospitals, shoot fleeing refugees, or shell humanitarian convoys. Stop it with this false equivalency nonsense.

        Maybe Russia did it accidentally. That would make it okay, right?

        Joe Biden himself (and Hillary Clinton) both voted against a ban on cluster bombs when they were in the senate.

        Certainly. Everyone also needs to keep in mind any ban, etc. isn't worth the paper its written on if/when the **** really hits the fan.

        The U.S. could have ordered its troops to slaughter babies since 1776 and it still wouldn't make the U.S. wrong for condemning attacks on civilians in Ukraine or justify Russia's actions. The tu quoque fallacy is alive and well.

        Whatever the United States has done in the past is simply irrelevant to what Russia is doing now or the morality of its actions.

        📌 we can fully condemn Russia, if we acknowledge our own past practices - just ask the people of Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos) about that American war (1954-1974) ...

        We took note of Russia’s false claims about alleged U.S. biological weapons labs and chemical weapons development in Ukraine. We’ve also seen Chinese officials echo these conspiracy theories.
