Maybe watch the news clip before commenting...

This seems like an odd thing to fixate on unless youre sympathetic to the russians.

Odd thing to fixate on what? What Uranium is? An American soldiers getting sick from Uranium in Iraq? Learning things? That means you're sympathetic to Putin?

Yeah youre definitely sympathic to the russians. Piss poor job of hiding it too.

The russians can get the fuck out of Ukraine if they dont want Uranium poisoning through high velocity rounds.

I said "watch the news clip before commenting" because it has American vets being poisoned in Iraq, but I guess you didn't watch either...

Usually, they just comment on emotion, instead of learning views that don't agree with.

Hopefully, we all keep on learning.

War kills the poor and working class, while making the elite and wealthy class more profit.

I am a chemist. Unlike you I actually know what depleted Uranium is and what the effects on the human body are without needing to be spoonfed by a youtube video. I am also aware of what the russians are doing to Ukrainians there and quite frankly, the russians are the far bigger problem. So I am going to say this again so that you understand: the russians had better get the fuck out of Ukraine or theyre going to die of Uranium poisoning.

WTF is this "I am going to say this again so that you understand"? lol You wanna fistfight or something? You wanna measure our degrees? Please be more polite... I didn't say anything insulting or even extreme, neither did the news clip. You did earlier when you accused me of being pro-Putin for being concerned about fucking Uranium being used in a war which, I assume, is far closer to my home than yours... Also, by your attitude bad scientist.

Take your downvotes and fuck off to rethink why you are the way that you are.

Yes I am angry. My family is from Ukraine. So yeah its a little bit more personal than most wars are.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

OK. I understand this, but you shouldn't accuse people who are concerned about a war or hope for peace of being pro-Putin... Nothing I said, or the video said, is remotely pro-Putin... You instantly made me your enemy, equating me to people who support the opposite side. When things are most emotional one should be careful not to let their feelings cloud their judgment...

Criticize Ukraine if the country survives. Right now, its just tone deaf.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

This is not criticizing Ukraine, it is criticizing the US and the UK... Anyway...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Oh no! Not the downvotes!

Ukrainians are going to be poisoned you dumb fuck. The same shit happens everywhere these rounds are used. It poisons the land and water, and if they catch fire the air too. You don't have to be shot with one of these rounds to get contaminated, just ask US soldiers from Iraq
