Why Use DU Munitions ???

As you may have heard, the UK and other NATO countries are sending depleted uranium munitions to Ukraine, in spite of the fact such weapons are known to pose significant health threats to friend and foe alike and to the populations of countries where they are used. Allegedly they work well at penetrating tank armor, but might there be other reasons NATO likes to use them?

According to this report by Democracy Now!, use of DU by "coalition forces" in Fallujah, Iraq resulted in horrific birth defects in the offspring of the city's residents:

The deleterious effects associated with DU have been known for some time and were documented in this report in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists:

https://thebulletin.org/2020/07/war-and-the-environment/

However, note well the BAS makes no claim that DU is the CAUSE of the horrific birth defects noted in the Democracy Now! report. And most references I can find also downplay the role of DU in such circumstances. Yes, they claim, it's harmful but it doesn't do THAT. So what's been going on?

This 2011 scientific study by Samira Alaani, et al. may contain a clue:

Hair samples from 25 fathers and mothers of children diagnosed with congenital anomalies were analysed for Uranium and 51 other elements. Mean ages of the parents was: fathers 29.6 (SD 6.2); mothers: 27.3 (SD 6.8). For a sub-group of 6 women, long locks of hair were analysed for Uranium along the length of the hair to obtain information about historic exposures. Samples of soil and water were also analysed and Uranium isotope ratios determined.

Note the report's closing statement:

The levels of Uranium could not be explained by any local Uranium deposits in the soil since measurements made of soil Uranium showed only modest concentrations though the Uranium was slightly enriched. Levels in the hair were also greater than could be easily explained by the levels we measured in the drinking water. The hair samples appear to contain traces of slightly enriched Uranium with an isotopic ratio of 135.16 (SD 1.5). The soil samples contained slightly enriched Uranium with isotope ratios ranging from 118 to 132 (natural range 95% CI 132.1-144.1) which demonstrates the existence of enriched Uranium in the Fallujah environment. Since none of the other elements found in excess in the parents were genotoxic except Uranium we conclude that these results support the belief that the effects in Fallujah follow the deployment of a Uranium-based weapon or weapons of some unknown type.

... deployment of a Uranium-based weapon or weapons of some unknown type !!!

So, it appears that weapons containing enriched uranium (i.e., NOT depleted) may have been used, and something else may have been deployed as well. From what we now know about SARS-CoV-2 and the US weapons labs/factories in Ukraine and elsewhere, it's entirely possible the "DU" munitions being sent to Ukraine might contain something other than or in addition to depleted uranium.

If the intent is to "kill as many Russian as possible", then we might expect these weapons to have a biological component which not only would contaminate the battlefield but also could be carried home by survivors to infect their families and neighbors.

Don't trust any claims made by NATO nations or any other US vassal states. The US is the only nation known to have used nuclear, biological, chemical, and radiological weapons in battle. The US also is suspected of facilitating attacks with severe environmental consequences (e.g., the NS I and NS II pipelines and the Nova Kakhovka dam). I would not be at all surprised if they used modified DU munitions as a vehicle for introducing even more lethal weapons onto the Ukraine battlefield.

That's the very kind of sneaky trick the US and its vassals love to pull on the rest of the world.
