The use of depleted uranium munitions has been fiercely debated, with opponents like the International Coalition to Ban Uranium Weapons saying there are dangerous health risks from ingesting or inhaling depleted uranium dust, including cancers and birth defects.

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?

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

[-] letsgocrazy@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

"let" Ukrainians.

Your patronising colonial mask is slipping.

Ukrainians have ASKED for these weapons so they can get rid of the murderous, child torturing Russians out of their country.

Stop amplifying the propaganda of child torturers.

"Opposing the poisoning of masses of innocent people who had no say in the war is propaganda. I am very smart!" smuglord

I think Russia would be the most bloodthirsty if this was a contest. Good try though.

The body count of the West is several orders of magnitude higher than Russia's

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.
