They are to be used to equip M1 Abrams tanks that, like everything else in Zelensky\u2019s possession, was procured by Washington, D.C., via American taxpayers.<\/p>\n<p>It was Ukraine itself that requested these nuclear munitions, stating that the Pentagram (Pentagon) \u201chas urged that the Abrams tanks the U.S. is providing Ukraine be armed with depleted-uranium rounds, which are regularly used by the U.S. Army and are highly effective against Russian tanks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>(Related: The Pentagon has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/2022-10-29-pentagon-lusts-nuclear-war-nuke-russia-ukraine.html\">itching for nuclear war with Ukraine<\/a> since at least last fall, threatening to drop bombs if Putin does not pull out of the country.)<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Ukraine and the West are the problem, not Russia<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>While less radioactive and threatening than actual nukes, depleted uranium rounds are still technically nuclear. There are concerns that the soils they land on will become contaminated in a similar way to nuclear fallout, though less extreme.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the sending of these munitions represents another escalation in Ukraine and the West\u2019s war against Russia, the latter of which is trying to cleanse one of the world\u2019s most corrupt nations, Ukraine, of its U.S.-run bioweapons laboratories that continue to threaten the rest of the world.<\/p>\n<p>The United Kingdom has already been providing Ukraine with armor-piercing rounds containing depleted uranium for its Challenger 2 main battle tanks. The British defense ministry first announced this back in late March.<\/p>\n<p>Russia was swift to condemn the UK for this move, stating that it is akin to using a \u201cdirty bomb,\u201d given the highly dangerous remnant effects of depleted uranium\u2019s use on the battlefield.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSuch rounds are highly effective in defeating modern tanks and armored vehicles,\u201d the UK defense ministry said at the time, to which Moscow responded with:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese shells not only kill, but infect the environment and cause oncology in people living on these lands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For many years, international watchdog groups have been pressing to get depleted uranium shells banned via international treaty. The European Union (EU) has long pushed for a ban due to the seriousness of what these weapons do both to people and the environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe projectile hits like a freight train,\u201d said Scott Boston, a former Army artillery officer and defense analyst at the Rand Corporation. \u201cIt is very long and very dense. So it puts a great deal of kinetic energy on a specific point on an enemy armor array.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It is the \u201cchemical toxicity\u201d of depleted uranium rounds that poses the biggest danger, as upon explosion they create toxic dust that gets dispersed all over the battlefield, leaving a <em>permanent<\/em> toxic presence \u2013 because it is nuclear, after all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUsed as ammunition, it penetrates the thick steel encasing enemy tanks; used as armor, it protects troops against attack,\u201d reported <em>Scientific American<\/em> about how depleted uranium rounds work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd when it was used in the Gulf War and later during the Allied bombing of Yugoslavia and Kosovo, depleted uranium (DU) was hailed as the new silver bullet that would solve most of the military\u2019s problems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter the end of Operation Allied Force, however, several Italian soldiers were diagnosed with leukemia. Politicians and the media soon forged a link between the disease and depleted uranium use. They further drew a parallel with Gulf War Syndrome, and in no time, depleted uranium became the Agent Orange of the Balkan conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The latest news about the nuclear escalation in Ukraine can be found at <a href=\"http:\/\/wwiii.news\">WWIII.news<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sources for this article include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/zerohedge.com\/geopolitical\/white-house-set-approve-depleted-uranium-munitions-ukraine\">ZeroHedge.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/2022-10-29-pentagon-lusts-nuclear-war-nuke-russia-ukraine.html\">NaturalNews.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/2023-06-16-nuclear-escalation-biden-transfer-uranium-ukraine.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following the UK&#8217;s lead, the Biden administration has announced a dangerous and provocative escalation in its support for Ukraine<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39262,"featured_media":270059,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[58,116],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-270057","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-Current_Affairs","category-ukraine"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270057","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/39262"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=270057"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270057\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":270060,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270057\/revisions\/270060"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/270059"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=270057"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=270057"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=270057"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
