Although Russia has zero room to talk about inhumanity and war crimes, no one should be happy with this shit, which could have been avoided if the West had given Ukraine the jets and other weapons they asked for in the beginning.The Biden administration announced Wednesday that it would for the first time send [depleted uranium] ammunition as part of a new package of aid for Kyiv worth up to $175 million.
[...]
Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier accused the U.K. of sending “weapons with a nuclear component,” even though the U.S. has insisted that the munitions — while made with a byproduct of uranium enrichment — do not pose a radioactive threat.
[...]
The International Coalition to Ban Uranium Weapons, however, has said depleted uranium rounds still come with health risks should civilians come into contact with their dust.
[...]
The armor-piercing rounds are expected to be highly effective against Russian tanks, a reality that Moscow is not happy with.
And the Russian embassy in Washington called the plan “an indicator of inhumanity.”
The Hill
How have we not outlawed these things yet? Are we incapable of evolving?
