And toxic ghost from the past appears as DoD approvs #depleteduranium export to Ukraine: despite US overstating the case, the use of DU would only complicate conflict-pollution in #Ukraine and counters the global norm against its use 1/x

What past wars showed was that DU was not decisive. In the Gulf Wars, most tanks were destroyed with Hellfires and Maverick missiles. Tungsten rounds still are able to destroy Russian tanks, and DU was no silver bullet. 2/x wise-uranium.org/pdf/dumyths.pdf 
What our @PAXforpeace research in #Iraq found was that the US was uninterested in clean-up and remediation of DU and contaminated materials, putting civilians at risk of exposure, in particular children playing on tanks and scrapmetal workers. 3/x paxforpeace.nl/wp-content/upl…

#Gamma radiation in #Khmelnytsky could actually indicate that a #DirtyBomb was stored in the warehouses.
Gamma radiation is characteristic of #enriched #uranium. Is it possible that were making "dirty bombs" at the Khmelnitsky #NPP

The UN is concerned about any supply of weapons with depleted uranium due to harm to civilians, the Secretary General's Office said about London's plans, announced today by Deputy Defense Secretary Annabelle Goldie.
Depleted uranium is used in the manufacture of armor-piercing shells due to its higher density compared to the same steel, which gives higher penetration.
Depleted uranium can affect air, soil, water and vegetation, as well as anyone who comes into direct contact

The US has repeatedly used #DepletedUranium shells in military conflicts, most recently in #Syria in 2015, but it especially distinguished itself in the bombing of Yugoslavia, when #NATO forces dropped 15 tons of depleted uranium in shells on the territory of present-day #Serbia
#Putin framed the Western provision of depleted #uranium ammunition to #Ukraine as a significant escalation in order to bolster information operations aiming to deter Western security assistance to Ukraine & to place the onus for negotiations on the West. isw.pub/UkrWar032123
2/ #Putin claimed on March 21, while discussing the Chinese peace plan, that the West is beginning to use weapons with a “nuclear” component in a response to the UK’s announcement that it would provide #Ukraine with shells with #DepletedUranium.
3/ Such munitions cannot be used to produce either nuclear or radiological weapons. #Putin seeks to portray the provision of depleted uranium shells as escalatory in order to deter Western security assistance despite the shells not containing any fissile or radiological material.

Let's be honest: This man had a lot more dignity than we did:
We (the coalition of countries, led by America and Great Britain) murdered him and bombed the crap out of his country, ...
Why? Exactly. The reasons our leaders gave were bullshit!

We knew #Saddam had no weapons of mass destruction. So did #DrDavidKelly, who was murdered for saying so!

Important new systematic review out on health effects #depleteduranium munitions in #Iraq by @ghiaub. Since its first use 1991, the use of DU spiked concerns among civilians and veterans, yet proper research has always been lacking. A short thread 1/x gh.bmj.com/content/6/2/e0…
First of all, lack of transparency by the US in DU use in 1991 and 2003 in #Iraq hindered identifying contaminated areas, clean-up operations and health monitoring of exposed populations. In 2014, we got the first set through and Dutch FOIA 2/x theguardian.com/world/2014/jun…
In meantime, all kinds of faulty research popped up, making outrageous claims over radioactive contamination by sketchy 'scientists' or denied full-out any effects, mostly by US DoD linked researchers, fearing accountability. Here's a good overview 3/x wise-uranium.org/pdf/dumyths.pdf
