by Michael Snyder, End Of The American Dream:

Depleted uranium is the gift that keeps on killing.  Just ask the people of Iraq.  Cancer rates and birth defect rates both went up exponentially after the U.S. military systematically defiled their air, water and soil with depleted uranium.  And it doesn’t go away.  10 years after the invasion of Iraq, a team of scientists “detected high levels of uranium contamination in soil samples at three sites in the province of Nineveh”, and those high levels were being directly blamed for “dramatically increasing rates of childhood cancers and birth defects at local hospitals”.  Under no circumstances should depleted uranium munitions ever be used in warfare, and our leaders know this.  But now the western powers will be sending depleted uranium munitions to Ukraine, and this is nothing less than a war crime against the Ukrainian people.
