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.
