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.

Yet more confirmation that the West regards Ukrainians as subhuman, and that they know they're not getting the territory back. Generations of birth defects, the unexploded bombs that cluster bombs leave behind, more and more people being drafted and shoved into a meat grinder in a war that's already lost, just so some American ghouls can make a bit of extra cash off their Raytheon stocks.

None of this was worth it. But it's going to keep happening. The US will keep arming Nazis and pushing war over diplomacy and destabilizing everything until something is done to get rid of those bastard war profiteers and the ghouls who lied us into Iraq and Afghanistan.

This shit's so fucking stupid. Can't wait for the chickenhawks to call me a bad person while sitting behind their keyboards demanding others be forced to fight in their stead.

although the Ukrainians using such rounds in Ukraine also seem to regard other Ukrainians as subhuman

Yup, defence is definitely what they shouldn't do. Russia is obviously doing God's work here.

This war wouldn't have even happened in the first place if not for the United States.

Are the NATO soldiers that definitely kicked off the war by invading Russia in the room with us now?

Ah yes, history started in 2022. Mind reminding me by whose sabotage caused the Soviet Union to be illegaly disbanded? Because guess what, this story starts in 1989 and context for many of it's intricacies begins for a few cases even earlier. Including the Nazis of Ukraine and why they are so prominent in our (Hexbear and Lemmygrad) discussions.

Geopolitics and conflicts aren't defined by boots on the ground action, that is just an end stage and consequence of escalating actions done beforehand. So no, there is no NATO soldiers in the room with us right now. But there is plenty of high ranking officials, military and not, who have been cooking this proxy war for a while now and the consequence is Russian aggression and deaths of thousands.

All of this could've been avoided. But you don't care. You just want to be above them morally, as that's all that matters for you. Being on the "good team", like it's sports.

"Can you see those aggresive ruskies? Killing innocents without reason! At least we aren't like them!"

Ironic amd sadening.
