Not until every other nation does as well.

That's a great philosophy, now, isn't it?

Until China, Russia, and Pakistan do so, we cannot afford to give up anything.


And this was the thought process that led to WWI.

What? The Cold War is over. Anyway, if the US were to go to war with any of those countries, I don't think China, Russia or Pakistan would be shouting for joy because the US had gotten rid of its cluster bombs. It's not like in their absence the US arsenal is ineffective.

True, but if we're giving something up, then other nations need to do so as well.

Never thought of setting an example, did you?

Lack of cluster bombs won't kill us.

Never crossed my mind.

If the enemy, or potential enemy, has it, then we need to have it.



Why? If they use cluster bombs, we use much stronger armaments.

True, but we cannot be at any sort of disadvantage.

It isn't a disadvantage if we're still stronger.

I hope you realize what continuous armament means.
