Sending #Depleted #Uranium Munitions To #Ukraine Is A #War Crime Against The Ukrainian People?
Depleted uranium is the gift that keeps on killing. Just ask the people of Iraq. Cancer rates and birth defect rates both went up exponentially after the U.S. military systematically defiled their air, water and soil with depleted uranium. And it doesn’t go away. 10 years after the invasion of Iraq, a team of scientists “detected high levels of uranium contamination in soil samples at three sites in the province of Nineveh”, and those high levels were being directly blamed for “dramatically increasing rates of childhood cancers and birth defects at local hospitals”. Under no circumstances should depleted uranium munitions ever be used in warfare, and our leaders know this. But now the western powers will be sending depleted uranium munitions to Ukraine, and this is nothing less than a war crime against the Ukrainian people.
Baroness Goldie, the UK’s Minister of State at the Ministry of Defence, created quite a stir when she publicly answered a question about depleted uranium munitions on Monday…
I cannot even begin to describe how morally wrong it is to do this.
Yes, these munitions will be used to strike Russian forces, but it is the Ukrainian people that will really suffer in the long run.
If you doubt this, just go to Google images and do a search for “depleted uranium Iraq birth defects”.
What you will see will make you want to vomit.
The same deformities will happen to countless numbers of Ukrainian children if we do not find a way to stop this.
Needless to say, the Russians clearly understand the threat. In fact, earlier this year one Russian official publicly stated that sending depleted uranium munitions to Ukraine would be the equivalent of using “dirty nuclear bombs against Russia”…
