Nope the effectiveness is the point.

Imagine being this bloodthirsty you're willing to let Ukrainians suffer the effects of depleted uranium just to kill more Russians

"let" Ukrainians.

Your patronising colonial mask is slipping.

Ukrainians have ASKED for these weapons so they can get rid of the murderous, child torturing Russians out of their country.

Stop amplifying the propaganda of child torturers.

"Opposing the poisoning of masses of innocent people who had no say in the war is propaganda. I am very smart!" smuglord

I think Russia would be the most bloodthirsty if this was a contest. Good try though.

Imagine defending a regime that targets hospitals and schools for missile attacks and rains white phosphorous down on cities.

If the Russians cared about anything beyond their own expansionist agenda, they'd retreat and end the war they started. If you actually cared about the suffering of Ukrainians, you would stop being a mouthpiece for that regime.

Yes it’s that simple isn’t it? At least to a simpleton.
