White House to Provide Ukraine With Depleted Uranium Tank Shells – Reports
Sputnik – 13.06.2023
The administration of US President Joe Biden is going to approve the provision of depleted uranium tank munitions to Ukraine, US media reported on Tuesday, citing US officials.
After weeks of internal debated on how to equip the Abrams tanks that the United States has provided to Kiev the White House is expected to agree on the transferring of depleted uranium tank shells to Ukraine, the newspaper said, citing administration sources.
Although some officials say that there are no serious obstacles to approving the shipment of depleted uranium munitions, others express concern that due to the transfer of such shells, Washington could be criticized for providing weapons that pose a danger to human health and the environment, according to the newspaper.
In addition, the White House is still discussing the possibility of providing cluster munitions to Ukraine, among other arms, according to the news outlet.
In late April, UK Deputy Defense Minister James Heappey said that London had sent Kiev thousands of shells for the Challenger 2 main battle tanks it donated, including some with depleted uranium. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, commenting on the transfer of depleted uranium shells to Ukraine, said that London will have to bear responsibility for the consequences.

Noam Chomsky, Kevin Barrett and Academic Freedom
The Kevin Barrett-Chomsky Dispute in Historical Perspective – Ninth part of the series titled “9/11 and the Zionist Question”
By Prof. Tony Hall | American Herald Tribune | August 7, 2016
Noam Chomsky has been much worse than hypocritical in the role he has chosen for himself in the study of 9/11. Chomsky treats the subject of 9/11 as if he’s some sort of master of analysis on the subject of what happened. He presents his conclusions without showing the due diligence of going through the relevant primary and secondary sources in a balanced and scholarly fashion. The primary sources Chomsky chooses to disregard include passenger lists, video and photographic evidence in the public domain, eyewitness accounts, original news coverage on the day of 9/11 and the like. … continue

Thus, a nuclear war. For surely, such weapons are radio active poison now and into the forever future. As was done upon Iraq, leaving mutation and its ensuing misery into the forever future.
How insane. How insane to manufacture such weapons and then use them, for in doing so, the use is upon the whole world, every living species will be poisoned with nuclear weapons… forever into the future.
That poisoning becomes the present and the future.
Is that what you want, America? If not, challenge and voice opposition. Otherwise, that is implanted, now and forever…

This is a Crime Against Humanity. It is a disgrace that the UK has already sent dU shells which, as Michael says, poison land and for thousands of years, as the Iraqis who are still alive will testify. And as Ukraine is a ‘breadbasket’ for many nations, expect horrific deformities, illness and death throughout. The decision-makers should be prosecuted asap. Of course, the politicians will somehow blame Russia for the offence.
