The Biden administration will for the first time send controversial armor-piercing munitions containing depleted uranium to Ukraine, according to a document seen by Reuters and separately confirmed by two U.S. officials.

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.

    Yeah, I use threads like these to block users. Can’t wait for lemmy to implement user level instance blocking like mastodon has.

    Edit: don’t downvote me, tell me what issue you have with this.

      I have no issue with your blocklist (and not gonna downvote your comment), but i still have to say that your position is pretty strange. Why at all join lemmy.ml which is known as real Babel tower with wide range of different opinions without any of them being dominant or enforced (and that differs .ml from .world, beehaw, hexbear, lemmygrad and so on)? If you need echo chamber, you can join other instance or get back to reddit, no reason to wait someone to code some functions.

        While not a user from one of the instances I was hoping to bait out, you’ll do.

        P.S. we aren’t looking for an echo chamber, different opinions are fine. But brigading your opinions on multiple comment sections shitting up any form of communication is not fine. Which is what Lemmygrad and Hexbear always do. They don’t deserve a seat at the table of discussion because they’ve shown they can’t handle themselves.
