Alpha particles don't have enough energy to go through skin.
LOL. The same poster earlier claimed $500m and $800m, and kept upping his figures, with no evidence for any of the claims.
When inhaled or ingested, alpha particles are deadly.
Right, so the russians can detect gamma radiation spikes in western Ukraine? Okay
The human toxicity of uranium is well-studied. Soluble compounds of uranium which are ingested in food or drink become concentrated in the kidneys, and kidney damage is the best-documented ill-effect of uranium toxicity. Studies confirm that the toxicity of DU is identical to naturally occurring uranium. Medical monitoring of Gulf War veterans who suffered shrapnel wounds involving uranium has not so far revealed any serious health effects.

Same ol same ol I guess.
From a cheerleader for Ukraine and those supplying her, the Guardian:

US fired depleted uranium at civilian areas in 2003 Iraq war, report finds
There are two types of nuclear weapons. The first are fission devices in which atoms are split, releasing energy; those are commonly called atomic bombs. The second type combines (or "fuses") two hydrogen atoms together to form helium, releasing even more energy. Those are hydrogen bombs or "fusion devices." Both types produce enormous amounts of energy and are pretty easy to detect.
This article isn't about nuclear weapons of either type. Instead these are just big bullets or "shells" made out of a really hard metal called Uranium. No energy is generated at all.
One more.

Depleted uranium shells: Why are they used and are they harmful?
3/23/23
“Russia has warned the UK not to provide depleted uranium shells as ammunition for the tanks it is sending to Ukraine, saying they contain a “nuclear component”.
Depleted uranium makes weapons more powerful, but it is feared those weapons could be a threat to people in areas where they are used. ...

They were first used in the Gulf War in 1991, and then in Kosovo in 1999, and during the Iraq War in 2003. ...”
We? You're the Kremlin guy with the Russian city as your name. I'm not Russian. But yes Tovaritsch, you did make the war happen when you invaded your neighbor.
Whether they fit into your pigeon holes or not, they are producing gamma radiation. In a nuclear sense, they are dirty weapons.
1/3 WION | Gravitas Plus: Did NATO push Ukraine into war? https://youtu.be/TzgPJeYZaOU
“The Ukraine conflict has been ‘westsplained’ enough. On Gravitas Plus, Palki Sharma tells you how Western arrogance & NATO’s expansionism are also to blame, how their actions precipitated the crisis in Ukraine.”
2/3 Trump publicly confirmed the Obama State Dept was behind the Maidan uprising in Ukraine [which has led to all of this mess].

3/3 4/5 “An embarassing phone conversation about Ukraine politics between two high profile US diplomats has surfaced online. The audio clip of a woman and man is purportedly between US Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and US Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt. The two people are heard discussing strategies to work with the three main opposition figures. She is heard telling him that she doesn’t think boxer- Vitaly Klitschko should be in a new government and also saying “f**k the EU.” The date of the conversation was not specified but the events it describes appeared to have taken place in the last days of January. It is not known who uploaded the audio clip and reports that it was the Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin have not been confirmed. This episode will be embarassing for the US as President Barack Obama has denied the administration is manipulating the Ukrainian opposition. Report by Ashley Fudge.
And taking it one step further:
The geniuses in this discussion state that depleted uranium only produces alpha particles. Yet the article shows data indicating a substantial increase in gamma radiation. Where did that come from?
Who knows what else we may have been storing in that dump.
Small amounts of uranium can affect your immune system. Mass amounts of troops becoming exposed to it can reduce their stamina. Introduce a virus with a weakened immune system, and whole regimens of troops can be effected.
Well Ukraine was obviously planning on exploding everyone of those at the end of the day anyways. So- no difference.
Slavyangrad a pro-russian website stated that. Not sure how they can possibly know gamma radiation levels in western Ukraine near Khmelnitsky, so I would assume its just made up info.
Might wanna define injested for the Rio Linda crew. Oh, who the hell is Jimmy Hoffa?
Sorry. Hoft.
