The Biden administration will for the first time send controversial armor-piercing munitions containing depleted uranium to Ukraine, according to a document seen by Reuters and separately confirmed by two U.S. officials.

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.

    Vietnam 2.0

    There, I said it. I keep saying Ukraine is a condom for West to try having its little intercourse with Russia. But Russia will not allow STDs.

      And you know how the Vietnam war ended, right?

      There was a peace agreement between the north and the south, and then a few years later North Vietnam broke it and invaded again, taking over all of the country.

        No, I only know that USA planted a false flag to invent a war in Vietnam, only to have used napalm and other chemicals, which ended up in children still born being defected. People like you that create diversions need to get a taste of their own medicine.

          So basically admitting you don’t know the actual history? Maybe start with reading a Wikipedia page or something.

          None of that excuses US war crimes in Vietnam, but it does show how a potential future with a hypothetical peace treaty could look like.

            Peace treaty with USA? Wear a red nose and some makeup and walk on the streets while saying that. You will earn good money.
