Depleted uranium ammunition is not a type of nuclear weapon since its method of dealing damage is kinetic, not a nuclear reaction.

Ironically enough you calling these "nuclear weapons" only serves to confuse people and soften the nuclear taboo.



They are clearly atomic weapons - they are made of atoms.



Stop.

You know very well that depleted uranium rounds are neither nuclear weapons nor dirty bombs and claiming so only creates confusion.

The US' military usage of DU (not just in ammunition but also armor) has been controversial and you're free to critique it, but that's not what you're doing. Instead you lied and created these fictional "nuclear weapons" that the US is supposedly spreading everywhere, which is just not true.

Tell that too kids in Iraq and Serbia suffering from deformities. https://www.icbuw.eu/en/the-problem/scientific-data/

In the current war in ME there's unverified accusation of US allies using EU (enriched uranium) weapons. Time will tell. https://english.almayadeen.net/articles/analysis/is--israel-...

> depleted uranium are neither nuclear

OK. I guess, you could say these weapons are enabled by the nuclear energy / weapons industry.

How about you read my comment again? Emphasis on bombs.

It takes a very special person to link to an Iran backed "news" website spewing conspiracy theories about Israel using mini-nukes in Lebanon.

You are so desperate to be right.


> Emphasis on bombs

Emphasize more on nuclear radiation.

> takes a very special person to link to an Iran backed "news"

Of course, there's no propaganda in the West, and anyone who doesn't tow that line has to be a special person and totally desperate, yeah? On trigger to make a racial/personal attack (despite the fact that I called out that the claims are unverified).

The use of US-supplied DU munitions has already prompted Russia to deploy tactical nuclear weapons. This is the point I was getting at in my original comment. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/07/depleted-urani...
