Yes, we get it, the response to literally every decision you don’t like is massacre of the people you don’t like

Are you aware of what depleted uranium does to the human body? Innocent people are going to be dealing with the consequences of a decision made by a handful of people across the planet for decades after the war ends. Does poisoning generations of people sound like “defending” Ukrainians to you?

But Depleted uranium isn’t enriched uranium.

You’re lying.

depleted uranium is a radioactive carcinogen, and linked to substantial increases in birth defects and cancer in Iraq

Who said it was? It’s still an environmental contaminant, a carcinogen, and linked to a rise in birth defects after its use in Iraq

It’s use will have consequences far outside of the conflict and ruin the lives of who knows how many people who had absolutely no say in this war and I’m supposed to cheer it on?

Depleted uranium is still a very dangerous heavy metal. It just doesn’t irradiate what it poisons.

  1. Yes, I’m aware of the effects of depleted uranium on the human body; are you? 2) What would you propose to help Ukraine evict the genocidal invaders from its territory?
