There’s a reason why cluster bombs are banned.

By whom?

https://disarmament.unoda.org/convention-on-cluster-munitions/

The Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM) prohibits under any circumstances the use, development, production, acquisition, stockpiling and transfer of cluster munitions, as well as the assistance or encouragement of anyone to engage in prohibited activities. The text of the Convention is available for download in the six official UN languages: عربي, 中文, English, français, русский, español.

You’re one link click away from understanding why your message is stupid. Question is whether it’s message alone.

They even provided a link to signatories of the convention in your link for you to peruse.

Surprise, Neither the US, Ukraine, nor Russia are signatories.

So not a warcrime for any party in this situation
