Naurattaa kun Iltasanomat kirjoittaa mitenkä Venäjä käyttää rypälepommeja. Saudiliittouma rummuttaa Jenkkivalmisteisilla rypälepommeilla Jeminiä nonstoppina.
Sitten on länsiliittouman omat rypälepommikampanjat.
2003-2006 in Iraq:
The US and UK use nearly 13,000 cluster munitions containing an estimated 1.8 to 2 million submunitions in the three weeks of major combat. A total of 63 CBU-87 bombs were dropped by US aircraft between May 1, 2003 and August 1, 2006.
1999 in Yugoslavia (including Serbia, Montenegro,and Kosovo):
The US, UK, and Netherlands drop 1,765 cluster bombs, containing 295,000 bomblets.
1991 in Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia:
The US and its allies (France, Saudi Arabia, UK) drop 61,000 cluster bombs containing some 20 million submunitions. The number of cluster munitions delivered by surface-launched artillery and rocket systems during the Gulf War is not known, but an estimated 30 million or more DPICM submunitions were used in the conflict.
CNN)A new report from Human Rights Watch accuses the Saudi Arabia-led coalition in Yemen of using American-made cluster bombs in civilian areas.
That action, if it took place, not only violates U.S. export laws but also raises further questions related to why lawmakers and military officials condone the sale and use of this controversial weapon.
In December 2009 — just weeks after he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize — President Obama ordered a cruise missile strike on al-Majala in southern Yemen. That strike “killed 35 women and children.” Among the munitions used in that strike were cluster bombs, including ones designed to scatter 166 “bomblets.”

Et sitten yhtään vanehmpia juttuja löytänyt ja jos jollakin on varastossa ja käyttää vanhoja pommeja ajalta kun olivat vielä sallittuja, ei kai se USA:n vastuulla ole, ryssät sen sijaan ovat vastuussa mitä itse tekevät ja varmaan valmistavatkin vielä uusia.
No kun pommittavat, niin pommittavat. Isis porukka onkin aiheellista saada tulta persuuksiin. Toivottavasti ei mene pommit vahingossa vääriin paikkoihin. Venäjän toleransseilla ne saattaa osua vaikka naapurimaahan.
