    I said “watch the news clip before commenting” because it has American vets being poisoned in Iraq, but I guess you didn’t watch either…

      Usually, they just comment on emotion, instead of learning views that don’t agree with.

      Hopefully, we all keep on learning.

      War kills the poor and working class, while making the elite and wealthy class more profit.

      I am a chemist. Unlike you I actually know what depleted Uranium is and what the effects on the human body are without needing to be spoonfed by a youtube video. I am also aware of what the russians are doing to Ukrainians there and quite frankly, the russians are the far bigger problem. So I am going to say this again so that you understand: the russians had better get the fuck out of Ukraine or theyre going to die of Uranium poisoning.

        WTF is this “I am going to say this again so that you understand”? lol You wanna fistfight or something? You wanna measure our degrees? Please be more polite… I didn’t say anything insulting or even extreme, neither did the news clip. You did earlier when you accused me of being pro-Putin for being concerned about fucking Uranium being used in a war which, I assume, is far closer to my home than yours… Also, by your attitude bad scientist.

          Take your downvotes and fuck off to rethink why you are the way that you are.

                OK. I understand this, but you shouldn’t accuse people who are concerned about a war or hope for peace of being pro-Putin… Nothing I said, or the video said, is remotely pro-Putin… You instantly made me your enemy, equating me to people who support the opposite side. When things are most emotional one should be careful not to let their feelings cloud their judgment…
