The U.S. has destroyed the last of its declared chemical weapons stockpile, President Joe Biden said on Friday, bringing to an end a decades-long effort to eliminate the deadly weapons first used on a large scale in World War One.
Apparently a big reason for sending the cluster munitions to Ukraine was because the US has a rather large stockpile of cluster munitions that we could spare compared to precision munitions. Coupled with the vast minefields Russia setup in Ukrainian land makes it difficult for them to pass through areas without they themselves being blown up by random mines, and the fact that Russia has already used cluster munitions on civilian targets in Ukraine… it’s not like we sent those munitions to a random country just as an arms sale. Ukraine is actively fighting against an insurgency and terrorist state and needs all the ammo, weapons and supplies it can get.
