This comment is so ridiculous and so orientalist, it has all the stereotypes.

And to add something more constructive, the Americans made a big strategic mistake in bombing out Serbia/Yugoslavia, as many of the people there were some of the most Westernised populace East of Dover. I'm from nearby Romania and somehow I got to listen to one of their national radio stations last week (Radio Belgrade 202 I think), and I have to say that the music there was profoundly Westernised, as in R.E.M. songs and the like in the middle of the day, and we're talking about a State-run radio station. We don't have that here in Romania, where half of the pop music (and more) is now local/Romanian.

Of course that dropping uranium enriched bombs on people's heads, as the US has done, might have changed the opinions of some of them.




It's depleted uranium projectiles. It's anti-tank because uranium is way more dense than iron.


.. and, as it subsequently produces deformed babies at an alarming rate for generations after its use on the battlefield, it should be 100% banned and its usage treated as a crime against humanity.


The alternative for the toxic teratogenic heavy metal that is depleted uranium is the toxic teratogenic heavy metal that is lead.

Banning depleted uranium doesn’t solve anything.


>Banning depleted uranium doesn’t solve anything.

Tell that to the mothers in Iraq giving birth to deformed babies every single day.
