They seem really cool! I know they're historical and I get how they'd work but I've never actually seen one in action, so I think I'd have to see how reliably they can fuck up a sword to form an opinion
Do you think these rounds just magically disappear after they're used? They're going to continue to litter the land and cause generations of people completely uninvolved in the conflict to suffer from birth defects, lung damage, and cancer, as can be seen after its use in Iraq. No one is immune to depleted uranium. At this point you can just admit that you care more about killing Russians than you do defending Ukraine, consequences be damned.
Unironically yes. A peace deal was in the works last year until, according to the Ukranian Pravda, Boris Johnson pressured Zelensky not to go through with it. This would have stopped the fighting and resulted in some withdrawal of Russian troops, but since the West is more interested in weakening their geopolitical rivals and helping the weapons industry rake in profit than ending the war, they squashed any possibility of that happening.
My boy Freddy really knows how to distill these concepts into an incredibly easy to digest form.
I might make some posts going through different bits of introductory theory, since I plan to go back and read through the fundamental stuff again and take notes. With federation being a thing now it's a great opportunity to expose other Lemmy users to theory
The op is specifically about depleted uranium but hey, if you want to make the case that we shouldn't be sending weapons to Ukraine in the first place I'm not going to argue against it
