Oh damn, an article containing a topic about Russia and Cuba. I hope this post will contain a civil conversation about the topic without it derailing into a giant fighting pit about the United States.
The first agreement collapsed due to the seperatist taking over an airport in Donetsk and saying they won’t follow it anymore.
The second Minsk agreement basically said “Stop fighting and Ukraine gets full control of the seperatist areas after elections and a special territory status for the areas”. After offering them the special status the seperatists just said no.
Refer to point one
Yes I did say that.
Firstly. The main cause of concern with depleted uranium is that according to some research it can linger around the area where they were used, and give people depleted uranium poisoning. Note that there hasn’t yet been any concrete evidence to prove this is the case.
Secondly. Ukraine themselves asked for these weapons, so they have most likely gone over the risks of using depleted uranium ammunition and have deemed their usefulness to outweigh the potential health down sides that comes from using depleted uranium.
Thirdly. The rounds given to Ukraine are armor piercing rounds, so the chances of them being fired at buildings are minimal, thus minimizing the possibility of them affecting people if they really were as dangerous as some research tells us.
So what’s the difference between lead, tungsten, and depleted uranium? They all cause cancer and other symptoms, and both tungsten and depleted uranium must be decontaminated if the tank carrying them is destroyed.
And from what I’ve read you will die of the toxicity before you will die of the radiation.
In the follow follow up report they said that the risks of the DU dust causing any harm are minimal.
Sounds plausible, but wouldn’t it cause the same types of effects in Bosnia if that were the case?
But I said that in my original comment, didn’t I? Maybe I just said it a but unclearly, since English isn’t my first language, but it’s there.
Here’s the part I mentioned it.
With the exception that you inhale it or eat it
From what I’ve read depleted uranium is not proven to cause cancer, nor is it not proven (With the exception that you inhale it or eat it).
In Iraq it’s still up to debate if it causes cancer or birth defects, since burning buildings and other burning stuff also causes a lot of nasty things to humans.
From what I’ve read they were also used in Bosnia, and they haven’t had similiar effects to Iraq.
So let the Ukrainians have their depleted uranium.
I would say I lean towards not believing, but I am open to other ideas. And if god did exist it really wouldn’t change anything for me. I would just live as I normaly do
I saw the video about Python from Life Of Boris and thought it looked fun, so I just decided to learn programming.
