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.

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

"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

it's kind of impressive how consistently we get the dumbest takes possible from lemmy.ee

Yes it’s that simple isn’t it? At least to a simpleton.

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.

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

Imagine defending a regime that targets hospitals and schools for missile attacks and rains white phosphorous down on cities.

If the Russians cared about anything beyond their own expansionist agenda, they'd retreat and end the war they started. If you actually cared about the suffering of Ukrainians, you would stop being a mouthpiece for that regime.

Fuck, I almost thought you were on about the US and Israel but guess not ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Too bad you still are pushing for the war to even continue. You don't want the Russians to genocide every single Ukrainian so you still propose they should just do it themselves and continue running straight into landmines. 🙄

How about some peace talks? Maybe? Oh wait Boris Johnson thought otherwise...
