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.

FYI that text was not in rambo

TIL. Apparently what it actually said was "The Gallant People of Afghanistan," but the point is largely the same.

I thought they went back and changed it after the fact.

[-] Zuzak@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

That's what the rumor said, but googling seems to indicate it was a hoax. Though like I said the original is basically the same thing.

I mean who else it could even mean in USA movie? Especially considering what was in that particular movie.

bite America in the ass

It won't be America it bites in the ass; they'll be a deadly menace to their neighbors in the West (as I would imagine Russia is going to remain on its toes about armed Ukrainian militias). They've been pretty open about their far right views. Frankly this was actually a brilliant strategy for the government; much like how they turned the Middle East into nations yearning for America's protection, so too will the rest of (Western) Europe now become new clients. As a business strategy it's brilliant, my only question is why European governments and the idiots who vote for them over there actually going along with this; you're watching the car careening towards the cliff, why are you cheering the guy pushing it from behind rather than slamming on the brakes.

Even the Taliban didn't commit 9/11 until the US had already been engaged in military actions in Afghanistan for years by that point. War profiteering is the point.

That guy is about as real as the elections in a Soviet country.

There's no proof he's ever even been to Ukraine ๐Ÿ˜‚

Because capitalist elections between corporate donors are so real lmao

Are you going to vote for Bloomberg or Blackstone next year? Good little piggy.

You Americans are something else. There's a world outside your little shithole bubble you know.

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm not even American. Our economy is global and America is the imperial core of that economy.

One of my local PMs was caught taking bribes from the NRA a few years back ffs

Aw jeez his made up record would have fit right into this article?

Who cares he's still not real.

[-] slice1@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

How do you know? So it is just your opinion? There is a video with testimony - what exactly do you got that makes you so sure?

[-] Asymptote@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

There's literally no proof he's ever been to Ukraine. You want me to prove a negative. Good luck with that.

Edit: lol I'm gonna do the impossible. He couldn't have been in Ukraine while being simultaneously in prison.
