Solidarity or squabbling: 5 things to watch at NATO’s summit

President Biden has authorized the use of Cluster Bombs for Ukraine to use. They are deadly bombs. When they hit they spread out many small bombs to kill anything near them.

Is this a right thing to do? Actually they have been used in Iraq, and Afghanistan. There is nothing illegal about them unless they are used on civilians. These will be used to hit the trenches of the Russian front.
