Why though? Can't imagine that these rounds are going to change the course of the war, so why? Are they out of non-Uranium ones?

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"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
