UK already did this last month but more drip drip drip

Why is the west suddenly approving F-16s, long range missiles and depleted uranium shells? In the past they denied these things

What’s next? NATO troops in western Ukraine to free up Ukrainian troops so they can go fight on the frontlines?

I just heard an anecdote about a young American soldier who, according to his mom, "Just got back from Ukraine, oops Poland."

Just something I was told in conversation last week, take it for what you paid for it...

People seem to have the notion that “depleted uranium tank rounds” are some kind of nuclear weapon. They are not, and in fact, have almost no radioactivity. Their purpose is to have a greater kinetic impact upon striking armor plate than say, those made of lead or some lead alloy, which has less impact, because of a lower density than uranium has as an element.

Also, it is a way to use up “spent” uranium fuel rods removed from nuclear reactors.

If you could keep it from spattering all over, mercury or gold would make very good tank rounds, but not practical under terrestrial conditions.

Because - this thing is going to expand until NATO is in open warfare. It will just continue to be incremented until that day.

Why not just train their pilots to fly the A-10 Warthog? Would scare the s*** out of the Russians.

The only problem is Ukraine won’t have any equipment remaining that fires the depleted uranium rounds

If millions of people need to die to protect the Biden crime family and the DC swamp piggy bank so be it.
