  3. Posts from sources that aren't known to be incredibly biased for either side of the spectrum are preferred. If this is not an option, you may post from whatever source you have as long as it is relevant to this community.

  5. No spam, self-promotion, or trolling.

Instance-wide rules always apply.

Kyiv has said it will use the munitions, banned in more than 100 countries, to dislodge concentrations of enemy soldiers when trying to take back its own territory. Putin told state TV Moscow would respond in kind if necessary.

I think this is trying to ride off the fearmongering behind headlines like "the US is supplying illegal munitions to Ukraine!!!1!!". These weapons have not been banned by the US, Ukraine, or Russia. This is posturing. Don't fall for it.

The rest of the civilised world banned them but Murica didn't. Trump had a good name for countries like that - Shit Hole.

I absolutely agree that they should be banned by all nations. I just don't want misinformation to spread about this threat
