As Niue recently deposited, if someone could update the map, that'd be grand. -- JJ Liu (Dylan Smithson) ( talk) 17:16, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
The article, backed up by secondary sources, currently says the following about the 2008 DoD policy on cluster munitions:
"Because future adversaries will likely use civilian shields for military targets – for example by locating a military target on the roof of an occupied building – use of unitary weapons could result in more civilian casualties and damage than cluster munitions," the policy claims. "Blanket elimination of cluster munitions is therefore unacceptable due not only to negative military consequences but also due to potential negative consequences for civilians."
Breaking a quotation with an attribution in the middle is a hallmark of journalistic style and is problematic in the context of an encyclopedia because it obscures what exactly is being quoted (see MOS:LQ). I have found the primary source for the DoD policy memo and, unfortunately, it does not in fact contain this quotation. Hairy Dude ( talk) 12:12, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
In light of media reports that the Ukraine might have used (US supplied) cluster weapons to attack towns inside Russia, might not this article make clear the view of the US Govt concerning the Convention on Cluster Munitions? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.166.228 ( talk) 09:01, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
