Nope the effectiveness is the point.

Imagine being this bloodthirsty you're willing to let Ukrainians suffer the effects of depleted uranium just to kill more Russians

"let" Ukrainians.

Your patronising colonial mask is slipping.

Ukrainians have ASKED for these weapons so they can get rid of the murderous, child torturing Russians out of their country.

Stop amplifying the propaganda of child torturers.
