If the Russians withdraw then the munitions won't be used.

You’re referring to how Putin has been using them the whole time, right?

Or are we not saying bad things about Russia in this thread?

Yep, exactly. As cool as DU rounds sound on the battlefield as a competitive advantage for piercing armor. They are a health risk to both the soldiers handling them and absolutely poisons the soil which will have an affect on future generations living on that land.

But I guess that's the point - to scare the russians as well as salt the earth so it's useless irradiated soil for either side to use for decades to come...... Or I'm sure if Russia keeps the land, they'll simply mine it anyways and who gives a hoot about the health of government workers mining resources for the motherland, right?? /s
