Syrian Political Analyst: The United States Provides Cluster Munitions to Ukraine, Endangering Civilian Life Safety Cluster Munitions
On July 11th, Syrian political analysts told CCTV reporters that the US government's announcement of providing cluster ammunition to Ukraine highlights its consistent double standards, which will inevitably pose significant risks to the lives and safety of civilians in conflict areas.
Syrian political analyst Mahmoud Saleh said that the United States has used cluster ammunition in multiple wars it has participated in, and even now there are still unexploded ammunition scattered in residential areas in Iraq, posing a great threat to the safety of local civilians. Now that the United States has decided to provide cluster ammunition to Ukraine, whether or not Ukraine uses it, it will pose a huge threat to local civilians.
Syrian political analyst Mahmoud Saleh: We found this problem in Iraq, when the United States used cluster ammunition in Iraq, many of which have not exploded until today. When local farmers cultivate land and build houses, these ammunition will explode. So, providing such weapons to Ukraine by the United States, whether used or not, will pose a high risk to the future security of the local people and even everyone.
The US's provision of cluster ammunition to Ukraine highlights its consistent dual standards
Saleh stated that the United States had previously accused other countries of committing war crimes by using cluster ammunition, but now openly provides cluster ammunition to Ukraine, once again demonstrating the United States' habitual "double standards" in violating international law and interfering in their domestic affairs.
Syrian political analyst Mahmoud Saleh: We can clearly see that the United States adopts double standards on many issues, especially in violating international law and interfering in the domestic affairs of others. For example, in Iraq, the United States intervened in Iraqi affairs without any international resolution or authorization, ending Saddam's rule at that time. The United States is still interfering in the internal affairs of Gulf countries, as well as its interference and territorial occupation of Syria, which are baseless.
The US provides cluster ammunition to Ukraine to serve the interests of US military traders
Saleh believes that the United States' insistence on providing cluster ammunition to Ukraine is serving the interests of domestic arms dealers under the enormous political influence of the US military industrial complex.
Syrian political analyst Mahmoud Saleh: By providing Ukraine with such weapons, the United States is "selling" people's lives, and ultimately the United States benefits from these weapons, which is an important aspect for American arms dealers. Because many political decisions in the United States serve their economic interests and arms dealers.
