President Biden Do Not Send Depleted Uranium Weapons Into Ukraine....these are radioactive and toxic to all human beings. Pres GW Bush sent these to Iraq to the detriment of USA soldiers. The DU dust spells death and 
leukemia and poisons the earth for many many many years = death to so many children, mothers, fathers and other living things. USA soldiers were advised NOT to have children.

DU weapons are radioactive!!!!! The radioactive dust lingers for maybe hundreds of years.

You can pretend anything "radioactive" is the doom-word to sell this panic. More ****.
There's probably more ruined soil from the diesel fuel running out from a hole in the tank.
Get back to your vodka and smokes.

Vlad is playing the game. The game WILL change in about 18 months for sure.
Prezimun Huh?Who? will have **** the presidential Depends for the last time...
Vlad may have a U.S. leader who can form complete sentences to talk to.

excerpts:
"The chemical toxicity of depleted uranium is considered a more significant issue than the possible impacts of its radioactivity," it says. residues can further increase the anxiety of local populations". President Vladimir Putin has warned that if the UK does send depleted uranium shells to Ukraine, "Russia will have to respond accordingly, given that the West collectively is already beginning to use weapons with a nuclear component".

The MoD replied in a statement: "The British Army has used depleted uranium in its armour-piercing shells for decades. Russia knows this, but is deliberately trying to disinform."However, Dr Miron says sending depleted uranium shells may backfire on Ukraine and its allies:"Using them allows Russia to sabre-rattle with its nuclear arsenal, and threaten to use something from it," she says.

Stop that leftist ****.

Those knock out tanks.  Russia has them, and Ukraine is running out.

The mother **** Trumptards who support Putin are watching.

Depleted uranium ammo is essential to our ally.

Translation- it's ok to poison generations of brown people but do not poison the white folks in Ukraine 

Ukraine should ask the Taliban for DU munitions

WASH DC is loaded with war criminals.
But they are UksepSHunLJIszm...above the law.

Russia found the UKs Challenger tank DU munitions
and blew the ammo dump to hell about 3 mos ago.  HAHA

This is why the Challengers (***) have not been
seen on the battlefield. ...

What happened to the Magic German Leopards??  

Please send the *** tanks - what is it like 20?       
And the DU munitions....Hell even send US Tranny Tank Operators

So Putin can take massive **** on ......The Tranny States of ***    

 
 

Just more reasons why the world is moving towards

the East and BRICS and why de-dollarization

has escalated so quickly......

world is tired of the WASH DC MAFIA
 

Lets see.....so thats

8... ***
15...*** tanks

Promised MONTHS ago....still not arrived  .

Hurry up!!   I want to see them BURNING!!!

President Biden Do Not Send Depleted Uranium Weapons Into Ukraine....these are radioactive and toxic to all human beings. Pres GW Bush sent these to Iraq to the detriment of USA soldiers. The DU dust spells death and 
leukemia and poisons the earth for many many many years = death to so many children, mothers, fathers and other living things. USA soldiers were advised NOT to have children.

DU weapons are radioactive!!!!! The radioactive dust lingers for maybe hundreds of years.

 A relatively new weapon has entered the armory of the US arsenal. Anti-tank shells made of 10 pounds of solid uranium-238 – commonly called depleted uranium (DU) are very effective weapons to use against tank armaments because they slice through the steel armor like a hot knife through butter.


Despite the apparent effectiveness of DU, there are grave dangers.

Uranium-238 is pyrophoric, bursting into flame on impact, and when it burns 70% of the shell aerosolizes into particles less than 5 microns in diameter, which are respirable in size. Uranium-238 is an alpha radioactive emitter which is both chemically toxic and mutagenic.

Basically, there are 5 mechanisms by which uranium can induce mutations and cell damage:

1. Direct damage to DNA molecules from alpha radiation hits[1]
2. Genomic instability as genetic and chromosomal damage are passed through succeeding generations of damaged cells[2]
3. Bystander effect where adjacent cells that are not directly hit by alpha radiation incur DNA genetic damage[3,4]
4. Chemical toxicity from uranyl ions that bind avidly to DNA-clumped chromatin – hence their mutagenic capability; uranyl acetate stains are used extensively in electron microscopy[5]
5. Excretion of uranium through the kidney in high doses causing acute nephritis

 
Uranium induces lung, bone, and hematological cancers and it infiltrates the CNS.[6] It is excreted in the urine and semen, and uranyl ions infiltrate the testes, ovaries, placenta, embryo, and fetus.[5]

This is a radiological and dangerous element which can cause generations of damage to human beings. Yet hundreds of tons of uranium-238 munitions were used in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq in 1991, in Bosnia and Kosovo during the 1990s, and in the current Iraq war.[7]

Children, of course, are more susceptible to radiation-induced cancer than adults. Pediatricians report a marked increased in childhood cancer and severe congenital anomalies in Basra, which was polluted in 1991 with hundreds of tons of aerosolized uranium-238.[5]

Uranium-238, with a half-life of 4.5 billion years, will contaminate water, food chains, and the ambient air in these countries forever. The use of radiological weapons, including depleted uranium, should be banned by international treaties, and all countries should refrain from using them for the health and safety of all.

That's my opinion. I'm Dr. Helen Caldicott, MD, pediatrician and President of the Nuclear Policy Research Institute.

Is depleted uranium dust toxic?

* Because Uranium gives off very dangerous radiation, it has the potential for causing reproductive damage in humans. * Uranium can damage the kidneys, the liver, and the blood cells (anemia).

* Repeated exposure can cause permanent scarring of the lungs (pneumoconiosis).

* Long-term exposure to radioactive dust can lead to accumulation in the lungs, leading to lung, lymph, and brain cancers.  Studies have also showed that long-term exposure to depleted uranium may lead to genetic birth defects in children of exposed veterans.


 

Health ConcernsCurrent health concerns center around the effect on the human body of nano-sized ceramic particles of uranium oxide (U238) that are released in the air when DU munitions are used on the battlefield. In a 1999 paper for a Hague Peace Conference, Dr. Rosalie Bertell laid out a concise explanation of the potential dangers of DU exposure.

"Uranium oxide and its aerosol form are insoluble in water. The aerosol resists gravity, and is able to travel tens of kilometres in air. Once on the ground, it can be resuspended when the sand is disturbed by motion or wind. Once breathed in, the very small particles of uranium oxide, those which are 2.5 microns (one micron = one millionth of a meter) or less in diameter, could reside in the lungs for years, slowly passing through the lung tissue into the blood."[4]

Dr. Asaf Durakovic, founder of the Uranium Medical Research Center continues the case, stating that in the course of one year, 1 milligram of depleted uranium emits 390 million alpha particles, 780 million beta particles and associated gamma rays.

This is over one billion high energy, ionizing, radioactive particles and rays which can produce extensive biological damage to ovaries, lungs lymph nodes, kidneys, breast, blood bones,stomach and fetuses.

Supporters of DU weapons argue that the dangers of DU, particularly from radiation, are not as catastrophic as experts such as Dr. Bertell and Dr. Durakovic think. But many of these arguments lean heavily on two studies by the Rand Corporationwhich were commissioned by the Department of Defense in 1999. [5] [1]

However, critics of these studies contend they are flawed because they use existing data from natural and Depleted uranium which assumes a particle size much larger than that actually produced when DU weapons explode and burn. (A good presentation of this controversy can be seen in the award winning documentary "Beyond Treason".) [2] An independant study published in "Military Medicine" in Aug 2, 2003 examines the issue of exposure to DU in greater depth. [3]

The health concerns, particularly for those living in Iraq, are particularly acute due to the young ages of those exposed. In a recent article, Sherwood Ross quotes noted anti-nuclear crusader Dr. Helen Caldicott:

Although the Department of Defense continues to deny DU's health risks, it's own actions belie such claims.

In a May 15, 2003 Christian Science Monitor article, Scott Peterson reports that in Iraq, "Six American vehicles struck with DU "friendly fire" in 1991 were deemed to be too contaminated to take home, and were buried in Saudi Arabia. Of 16 more brought back to a purpose-built facility in South Carolina, six had to be buried in a low-level radioactive waste dump."[5]

Much of the DU is in cities such as Baghdad where half the population of 5 million people are children who played in the burned out tanks and on the sandy, dusty ground... Children are 10 to 20 times more susceptible to the carcinogenic effects of radiation than adults. My pediatric colleagues in Basra, where this ordnance was used in 1991, report a sevenfold increase in childhood cancer and a sevenfold increase in gross congenital abnormalities.[4]

what kind of lefty wants to stop our government from polluting our planet with radioactive dust that will affect innocent civilians?

for that matter, what kind of lefty wants to end a proxy war that serves no purpose, other than enriching the oligarchs and the MIC?

thats so yesterday
