From what I've read depleted uranium is not proven to cause cancer, nor is it not proven (With the exception that you inhale it or eat it).
In Iraq it's still up to debate if it causes cancer or birth defects, since burning buildings and other burning stuff also causes a lot of nasty things to humans.
From what I've read they were also used in Bosnia, and they haven't had similiar effects to Iraq.
So let the Ukrainians have their depleted uranium.
the International Coalition to Ban Uranium Weapons saying there are dangerous health risks from ingesting or inhaling depleted uranium dust
Literacy rates in capitalist nations continue to plummet.
If only the world were so simple that we could trust the organization tasked with banning the substance rather than reading primary sources.
I agree that depleted uranium shouldn't be used, but your quote from the International Coalition to Ban Uranium Weapons means nothing.
That's like not listening to doctors about whether or not you should quit smoking because doctors are biased
Tankies shaking in their boots over that Abrams 120mm DU APFSDS slicing though Russian steel like butter.
It's so easy to trigger tankie bridgades. How many posts yall got about me now? Tagged me in a few!
more concerned about DU slicing through the dna of ukrainian children for years after the war like in Iraq
No you're not, but its a convenient point for you to push.
Stuka username claiming others aren't concerned about Ukrainians lmao
Remind me what the nazis did in Ukraine again?
I've had this username for a two decades and you tankies are the only ones to ever call me a nazi.
Know why? Cause I've never said a damn thing to support nazis. Yall just assume everyone's as batshit crazy and fanatical as you.
I can hear your frustration as you search my history.
Why though? Can't imagine that these rounds are going to change the course of the war, so why? Are they out of non-Uranium ones?
the cruelty is the point
Nope the effectiveness is the point.
Imagine being this bloodthirsty you're willing to let Ukrainians suffer the effects of depleted uranium just to kill more Russians
I think Russia would be the most bloodthirsty if this was a contest. Good try though.
Whataboutism.
Please don't use that against them, even as a bit as it's extremely powerful and causes irreperable emotional damage. Be mindful, libs are people too.
I'm sure Ukrainian soldiers on the front line are worried about cancer and birth defects.
It's not about them. It's the children who find the spent ammo later.
This crap is the reason that there are birth defects spikes anywhere the US military operates.
Ok but the alternatives are not environmentally conscious either, finally the people who’s land it is should be the ones making choices about the conditions of that land
Oh well... The amount of health risks that these rounds would cause would pale in comparison to the mines that the Orcs have planted everywhere. Anything to drive out the invaders!
