Yes, we get it, the response to literally every decision you don't like is massacre of the people you don't like
Are you aware of what depleted uranium does to the human body? Innocent people are going to be dealing with the consequences of a decision made by a handful of people across the planet for decades after the war ends. Does poisoning generations of people sound like "defending" Ukrainians to you?
But Depleted uranium isn't enriched uranium.
You're lying.
depleted uranium is a radioactive carcinogen, and linked to substantial increases in birth defects and cancer in Iraq
Who said it was? It's still an environmental contaminant, a carcinogen, and linked to a rise in birth defects after its use in Iraq
It's use will have consequences far outside of the conflict and ruin the lives of who knows how many people who had absolutely no say in this war and I'm supposed to cheer it on?
Yes, but why are you upset about this particular heavy metal as opposed to all the others involved in weapons?
The op is specifically about depleted uranium but hey, if you want to make the case that we shouldn't be sending weapons to Ukraine in the first place I'm not going to argue against it
In that case, why do you pretend to care only about certain weapons when you don't want any weapons sent?
pee pee poo poo
Oooh you really got him there
Yup 🥰
🌽
Depleted uranium is still a very dangerous heavy metal. It just doesn't irradiate what it poisons.

Now we're just throwing genocide into the mix?
No
Non radioactive munitions.
Show this thread to someone from the 1980s and they would kill themselves. Mainly over your shit
What a compelling response 🙄
Bruh said le sigh..
No analysis, just vibes. Gonna go genocide some mashed potatoes rn
Just stepped in someones front yard without permission, which is technically an invasion, and ive been told this is tantamount to genocide. Am I an imperialist war criminal, Hexbear?
Guilty of all charges.
Sounds like a typical fash pastime
What would you propose to help Hawaii evict genocidal invaders from its territory?
Seeing one thing Hm, this is like every thing

It's almost like I've seen this same redfash response multiple times 🤔
What can I say we like methods that get results
It's almost like my original comment was correct
Your original comment was word salad.
Just because you can't understand it, doesn't mean it's word salad comrade
Redfash one hell of an oxymoron considering the reds are in the habit of killing fash.
That's what they want us to think, anyway
https://jewishcurrents.org/the-double-genocide-theory
There are complications, but a dialectical analysis shows that redfash are indeed fascists, and there's no need for Holocaust denial to say so
"You are treating a specific example like a broad generalization to deflect someone's valid point"
vs.
"Heard that one before
"
Fallacy of the beard. Marx's beard, even.
What do you think should be done with war profiteers that destroy societies for money?
The same that should be done to all fascists, including the red ones
It's a tankie, that's their answer to everything they can't strawman around.
pretty funny coming from a dronie
Yeah, "dronie" would be the correct term a tankie would use for a person who supports a country that was invaded by fascists defending themselves.
The only fascists in this conflicts are the ones you support, they're pretty open about being fascists too. These are the actual people defending themselves from scum like you https://www.hrw.org/news/2014/10/20/ukraine-widespread-use-cluster-munitions
No, the only fascists are the ones that crossed the border into Ukraine and are currently being pushed out. According to the article you linked, it states it's not possible to conclusively prove who launched those cluster munitions in October.
I've noticed the Russian Fascists haven't had a problem using cluster bomb on civilians, targeting hospitals and non-military health care facilities and generally committing random warcrimes.
You know, the simple solution for the war crimes to end would be for the Russian invaders to admit they fucked up, retreat to the borders that were recognized in 2013 and start preparing for the trials at The Hague.
But, Putin is too weak and much like Tankies need to tank... Russian fascists need to fash.
The regime you support has been doing all of this to people of Donbas for eight years, and even CNN covered this https://twitter.com/paulius60/status/1611148483859255296
People like you didn't care, and all of a sudden you pretend to give a shit about people of Ukraine. You're just a morally bankrupt scumbag.
