The use of depleted uranium munitions has been fiercely debated, with opponents like the International Coalition to Ban Uranium Weapons saying there are dangerous health risks from ingesting or inhaling depleted uranium dust, including cancers and birth defects.

        (EXTREME CW: the link is exactly what it says, but worse)

        Listen. You just saw the report that proves health effects exist. It was right above you, yet youre still talking. Every time you reply, you just pick a single piece of the last argument to ‘debunk’, even if the rest of the comment answers your whole useless fucking question. By now I’m convinced youre only dragging out this discussion to waste our time. Ive seen at least 30 separate people pull this twitter-lib trick and not one is from our instance. Fuck off.

        You know why wartorn countries keep mysteriously suffering birth defects? Because of people like you, who dance around and confuse anyone who tries to protest these weapons. Yet if i ever sent you a graphic picture of a deformed baby, whose defects entirely stem from uranium, you’d recoil in disgust and call me a psychopath. You couldn’t look at the end-product of your beloved bomb, much less any bomb, without throwing up. You want to prove me wrong now, so fucking look.

        Call me a propagandist. Tell me i photoshopped the fucking brain-sac onto that kid second-from-left. Look at the pictures until you feel something, or cease all feeling in your pointless shaking little body.

        Next you’ll try to criticize my “needless aggression.” But you know where it came from. Fuck outta here

        Here it is again, in case you missed or tried to ignore it.
