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.

    How about letting Ukrainians make that cost/benefit analysis for their own country? I think they’re grown-ups, no need to patronize.

      it’s not the Ukrainian people who decide, it’s the Ukrainian government that decides, and America basically decides what they decide

      Are you really this delusional? Sure Ukraine has their own uranium munitions that they can decide to use anytime they want… When does the public get to decide on what happens with the tax money - fund schools, build infrastructure, etc. or send radioactive ammunition to fuel a proxy war in some corrupt country?
