THREAD: War crime supporters like Andrew Perpetua need to be called out for their nonsense. In this thread I’m going to debunk the dangerous bs he’s promoting. He wants Ukraine to use cluster bombs.
Cluster bombs are bombs that carry multiple smaller bombs (called bomblets)… https://t.co/soItL0U1Eltwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
After watching that Ukrainian army video where they got hit by land mines, Andrew got an emotional breakdown and entered the second stage of grief. 2/8
In fact he actually wants to kill the people who banned cluster bombs and thinks that covering the battlefield with cluster bombs will win the war.
This is beyond delusion and shows his deranged mentality:
- Ukraine have proven to be terrible at clearing minefields, we… https://t.co/mkIR8J3l41twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Russia wouldn’t even need to fire many cluster bombs to cover the entire frontline. In 1991, the US dropped 61,000 cluster bombs on Iraq, this released more than 20 million bomblets.
It would take Russia less than 3 days to cover Ukraine with more than 20 million bomblets.4/8
Mines and cluster bombs don’t always explode and they can be a threat to civilians long after the war has ended. Andrew knows this full well, but he doesn’t care. All he cares about is killing. When the war is over, he won’t care about Ukraine anymore.
Andrew then says “These people who claim these weapons are "bad" are your classic neoliberal moron who doesn't understand how the world works”.
It’s not “neoliberal morons” who say, it’s researchers and scientists who proved cluster bombs are bad after over 70 years of research… https://t.co/lHDqAvJ9zltwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
It’s very easy for suburban armchair observers like him to demand cluster bombs on places that he’ll never visit or be in, since he grew up in a country that experienced 0 war and has been cuddled up to see war like an action movie or game. 7/8
Andrew then proves how clueless he is when he says cluster bombs can clear minefields. Modern mines are designed to withstand quite large explosions. They do this by having a timed-pressure detonation where the mine will inly detonate if the pressure is applied for a longer… https://t.co/jWNRRChObYtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Shahed drones destroyed targets in Odessa military airport
More Shahed 136/131 drones hit their targets in Odessa
Massive explosions occurred at Ukraine’s Shkolny military airport in Odessa. It's a major UAV warehouse for the Ukrainian army. For an explosion this big, it likely carried explosive materials for the UAVs.
