"israel and its trade partners"
how broad is the definition of trade partners?
is it just to cover the unrecognized occupied territories or could it have been used to block boycotts of apartheid south africa?

Best I can do is turn field rocks on and pretend they are UXO but I don't know if we can mod the pitiful amount of damage they do to equipment to be more catastrophic like actual UXO.

war is actually a zero sum game played carefully where every scrap of thought not dedicated to helping the Good Guys is energy spent towards helping the Bad Guys. war is NOT a messy and unnecessary clusterfuck where powerful people from two or more nations feed their people into the meat grinder so the pretend line can move a few miles

But the dud rate is so much better* now. Instead of a century later people still getting killed, it will only be multiple decades.

*As advertised by the manufacturer. Actual dud rate may differ from manufacturer claim.

IIRC, Russia claimed the strike was done after an informant told them Ukraine was using the place for military personnel.

aren't cluster munitions mainly useful for creating ersatz minefields and terrorizing civilians?

I guess if you don't want to know about them, yeah, we can stick with they are only good for creating minefields and terrorizing civilians. Very bad of Russia to use them in such large numbers, if that's all they can do: mine Russia's claimed homeland and terrorize the civilians in Russia's claimed oblasts. Was just trying to provide a littler bit more context on how they can be useful in conflict (with obvious downsides), but there are a lot of motivated thinkers who would be happy to believe your first claim that Russia only seeks to place minefields among civilians and terrorize civilians.

Both sides are claiming east Ukraine to themselves so both sides are doing war crimes to their own country and their own farmers.

Well it does if all countries follow the international rules based order and adopt free trade policies, thus enabling the US to fire salvos of mortgage backed securities into the heart of Russia.

Russia already using cluster munitions makes it apparent that they're not going to be a war winning weapon, so what's the real utility proposition here?

Fake giving the M1.

Storm Shadow and british version of MANPAD that also has a stupid high fantasy name.

Starlink got a few days of articles.
