If this has been made a week ago I would have gotten so much mileage out of it

nerd you can't assume someone is a Nazi just because they volunteered for the Nazis and served in a Nazi division and views his time under the Nazis as the pinnacle of his life! If you think he's a Nazi just for doing that then you're the real nazi smuglord

In good faith, as a non-american looking in, you aren't being given any real choice. You have a party that's constantly trying to push further towards fascism, and you have a party that's willing to enable that push without any significant resistance. Not only that, but the party that's doing the pushing doesn't even need to be the ones in power to make progress, because they know the enabler party is unwilling to use the power they have in any sort of effective way. Republicans have overturned Roe despite Biden being in power AND despite the fact that Democrats have been saying they'd codify it for years. Republicans are now introducing anti-trans legislation despite Biden being in power and I've seen next to no actual effective pushback from the Democratic party.

It's like a water slide, you can just sit normally on the slide and go down at a normal pace or actively lean back and go down faster, but you're going to end up in the pool either way. The way I see it, voting for either party still results in a slide towards fascism, the only harm reduction argument I can even see is that voting for Democrats would slow that slide by maybe a year or two at best.

This point is unironically what ultimately made me start learning about communism. When I still had basically no understanding of politics I brought up how there's more than enough food to feed everyone to a friend and he said "well if we did feed everyone that would be communism" as a dumb gotcha

The op is specifically about depleted uranium but hey, if you want to make the case that we shouldn't be sending weapons to Ukraine in the first place I'm not going to argue against it shrug-outta-hecks

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

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?

Imagine being this bloodthirsty you're willing to let Ukrainians suffer the effects of depleted uranium just to kill more Russians

[-] CombatLiberalism@hexbear.net 52 points 11 months ago

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?

Every person involved in making this decision deserves to be buried in an unmarked grave with the weapons they love so much. How many innocent people completely uninvolved with the war are going to grow up suffering the effects of depleted uranium rounds? Another absolutely monstrous decision in a long line of monstrous decisions by the US government.
