    Using “scientific rigor” as a method to mislead people is one of the more loathsome ways to lie. Like, sure there has never been a double-blind, randomized, controlled test with a large sample size to prove depleted uranium causes cancer. But there are some damn suggestive correlations that should be more than enough for anyone unwilling to commit war crimes and cause generations of suffering on innocent people.

    This really is the greatest propaganda campaign ever. We are told blatant lies by formerly trustworthy entities and no one is fact checking anything.

    Let’s dump some depleted uranium in Jackson Hole and see how fast they say otherwise

    It’s kind of scary to see how people’s opinion of DU rounds go from “Yeah, they’re horrible because they cause birth defects and cancer.” to “Ok, they do bad things, but they are necessary to stop Putimort!” to “They are completely harmless and radiation is a Russian lie!”

    It’s terrifying to think how mask off all these libs will be if the US starts a war with China. They will openly be discussing how Chinese people’s skull shape means they aren’t technically human and can’t feel pain so any WMDs used against their civilians are fine.
