The USA are using them/providing them to Ethiopia ( against Somalia ) as well as Nigeria ( gov troops to bomb the so-called insurgents / terrorists / Al-Quaeda .... And they sometimes supply both sides of the conflict.
Now, contrary to China and Russia , the USA claims to be the liberator, the freedom spreader, the human rights defender, the world police taking care of the bullies , so by not signing this agreement it shows the true face of the country  |
So you could have the same argument against Nuclear weapons and it's pretty obvious no one is giving up Nukes so does that make everyone 2 faced and inhumane? Because they won't give up a tactical advantage?
btw how would the "world police" take care of the bullies if they had to give up any weapons that might kill civilians?
Oh wait we already have that... it's called the UN and we all know how well they stop the conflicts they get involved with.
Look he has a gun but probably no ammo likely mandated by the UN rules of engagement..
