Syrian Civil War (Graphic Photos/Vid Not Allowed)

There is no any evidence for that.


DU is just journo rubbish. Thats why no any convention ban them.


Assadist logic: if u expose Assad crimes, u are ISIS supporter. Get lost clown.

DU is nothing? It's Uranium! Many people that have worked with DU, such as tankers or people that come in contact with DU rounds have complained of illnesses. Countries like Russia store their DU and would only use it as a last resort due to the hazards it creates especially when tanks or DU rounds burn.

As for your claimes about Chechnya. 20% of Chechnya is forest and much of the fighting took place in Dagestan which is mostly rural Mountain region about 2.5 times the size of Israel. It's laughable that you also mention the population of Chechnya as if that has any relevance, much of the fighting in the Chechen war was done in Dagestan as I said before. Many of the fighters were Chechen from other parts of Russia, and thousands others were from Dagestan and ingushetia, and former Soviet Republics, there was also about 700 Arabs in the war with many Arab commanders.

Usually people ignore him. It's like a couple of people sitting around having some coffee and talking, and some little midget comes around and keeps poking every with a stick and shouting randomly, "KHOMENISTS!! STARVING!! SHIAS!!! ASSADISTS!!! ARGHHH"

They keep ignoring him, but eventually someone gets annoyed and responds. People are after all human.

1) While ur friend post crap, I post confirmed by UN reports and footage facts.
2) I dont say Shias. Its ur buddy Assad and Khamenai who want to turn a rebellion against corrupt dictator into a sectarian war. Unfortunately they largely succeed.
3) I use "Khamenaist" because I dont want to use Iranian. Iranian people are not responsible for Khamenai regime crimes.

Syrian war has not only devastated the Arab world, it has also created fault lines around the globe that will decide the future of the entire world.

Israeli warplanes are not easy piece they have most advanced electronic jamming system only can be intercepted by a plane

Yes DU is rubbish and doesn't cause any damage it's labeled toxic just for fun, neither does Zyklon B hurt anyone.

Put him on ignore list, problem solved, every time I click on this thread, all I see is him spreading Terrorist agenda.

I'm gonna put the ignoramus on the ignore list.

There is no any ban on DU weapons, nor any conclusive research on its harm. Just journo stories.

On the other hand unguided bombs in populated areas is a war crime. And incendiary bomb is double war crime.

@Icarus

Brother, this zionist hasbara with his desperate pro terrorist nonesense has wasted enough space in this thread. It seems this hasbara troll is paid solely to spread terrorist & zionist propaganda. Could you do something about him?

Inhaling depleted uranium particles is very damaging to the body, there is research on that actually, scientific articles aren't posted with titles which you will find just like that. Should I waste time on quoting and pasting here? Nah.

Scientific articles aren't written to convince congress or a CEO, they won't lay it out in 'non-technical' words so that everyone will understand it, that's not the point of such scientific articles. Laying it out in non-technical words is what is done in journalist articles so that you can read them. You wouldn't understand what scientific articles go on about if it isn't your field.

Studies indicating negligible effects


Studies in 2005 and earlier have concluded that DU ammunition has no measurable detrimental health effects.

A 1999 literature review conducted by the Rand Corporation stated: "No evidence is documented in the literature of cancer or any other negative health effect related to the radiation received from exposure to depleted or natural uranium, whether inhaled or ingested, even at very high doses,"[148] and a RAND report authored by the U.S. Defense department undersecretary charged with evaluating DU hazards considered the debate to be more political than scientific.[149]

A 2001 oncology study concluded that "the present scientific consensus is that DU exposure to humans, in locations where DU ammunition was deployed, is very unlikely to give rise to cancer induction".[150] Former NATO Secretary General Lord Robertson stated in 2001 that "the existing medical consensus is clear. The hazard from depleted uranium is both very limited, and limited to very specific circumstances".[151]

A 2002 study from the Australian defense ministry concluded that "there has been no established increase in mortality or morbidity in workers exposed to uranium in uranium processing industries... studies of Gulf War veterans show that, in those who have retained fragments of depleted uranium following combat related injury, it has been possible to detect elevated urinary uranium levels, but no kidney toxicity or other adverse health effects related to depleted uranium after a decade of follow-up."[152] Pier Roberto Danesi, then-director of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Seibersdorf +Laboratory, stated in 2002 that "There is a consensus now that DU does not represent a health threat".[153]

The IAEA reported in 2003 that, "based on credible scientific evidence, there is no proven link between DU exposure and increases in human cancers or other significant health or environmental impacts," although "Like other heavy metals, DU is potentially poisonous. In sufficient amounts, if DU is ingested or inhaled it can be harmful because of its chemical toxicity. High concentration could cause kidney damage." The IAEA concluded that, while depleted uranium is a potential carcinogen, there is no evidence that it has been carcinogenic in humans.[154]

A 2005 study by Sandia National Laboratories' Al Marshall used mathematical models to analyze potential health effects associated with accidental exposure to depleted uranium during the 1991 Gulf War. Marshall's study concluded that the reports of cancer risks from DU exposure are not supported by his analysis nor by veteran medical statistics. Marshall also examined possible genetic effects due to radiation from depleted uranium.[155] Chemical effects, including potential reproductive issues, associated with depleted uranium exposure were discussed in some detail in a subsequent journal paper.[156]

Basically all DU talk is pure rubbish. Pro Assad guys are majority here but that does not make u right.

You went to wiki and copied the reports that state DU causes no damage ignoring the reports that state it does cause damage, the sources are mostly if not all linked to governments/organisations who have approved the wars where DU was used.


Your first quote ends with.

and a RAND report authored by the U.S. Defense department undersecretary charged with evaluating DU hazards considered the debate to be more political than scientific.

A company which was part of the army air force conducting a 'study' for political reasons, like I said in the previous post non technical explanations to convince congress. Given the history of lies in American politics to push through measures we can render all of that biased.

2nd quote is from a NATO press conference, an organisation dominated by the same US which initiates wars based on lies.

3rd quote is from the Australian defense ministry, another biased source. The ministry said that DU has no relation to kidney toxicity, only to hear the opposite from the IAEA below.

It has been possible to detect elevated urinary uranium levels, but no kidney toxicity or other adverse health effects related to depleted uranium after a decade of follow-up."[152]

4th quote.

IAEA says that high concentration causes kidney damage.

The IAEA reported in 2003 that, "based on credible scientific evidence, there is no proven link between DU exposure and increases in human cancers or other significant health or environmental impacts," although "Like other heavy metals, DU is potentially poisonous. In sufficient amounts, if DU is ingested or inhaled it can be harmful because of its chemical toxicity. High concentration could cause kidney damage."

Reports from a decade ago are obsolete, nowadays we see the effects of DU usage in area's that are inhabited by civillians. Countless video's of birth defects in kids that interestingly surface only from certain towns/area's where DU was used. Recently there are reports of damage in baby teeth of Iraqi children. Whether direct or indirect, damage remains damage, the cause for this is DU in this case.

Here's a new recent scientific article on DU's effect on baby teeth.
