Russian Military Warns Uranium Shells Will Cause Irreversible Harm To All Ukrainians The Russian military has weighed in on the UK’s plans to supply depleted uranium tank rounds to Ukrainian forces, which was announced by UK’s junior Defense Minister Annabel Goldie in a Tuesday parliament briefing. Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov, the head of the radiation, chemical and biological defense troops of the Russian armed forces, told a press briefing Friday that the weaponry will cause irreparable harm to all Ukrainians, whether civilian or military.  “Despite the fact that the use of such ammunition [with depleted uranium] will cause irreparable harm to the health of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the civilian population, NATO countries, in particular the UK, express their readiness to supply this type of weapon to the Kiev regime,” Kirillov said. Image source: US Army “As a result of the impact of a depleted uranium munition, a mobile hot cloud of a finely dispersed aerosol of uranium-238 and its oxides is formed, which, when exposed to the body in the future, can provoke the development of serious diseases,” Kirillov said. He described that when compounds in the advanced ammunition seeps into the soil or disperses across the environment, it will be “dangerous for people, animals and the environment for a long time.” On Wednesday, Britain responded to Russian officials saying this constitutes escalation on the nuclear front, given that Kiev will be handed “nuclear components”… James Cleverly, Britain’s foreign secretary, told reporters on Wednesday that there was “no nuclear escalation,” adding, “The only country in the world that is talking about nuclear issues is Russia.” Depleted uranium has for decades been used by NATO, and was known for being used against Serbian forces in the late 1990’s, as well as in Iraq. It is two-and-a-half times denser than steel,

Congressional Republicans are displeased with President Joe Biden’s “weak” and “uncertain” response to the ongoing situation in Syria. As previously reported, Iranian forces killed a U.S. contractor and wounded six others during a drone strike Thursday. In response, President Biden ordered retaliatory airstrikes. The strikes reportedly killed eight Iranians. Following the president’s retaliatory strikes, Iranian-backed proxy forces carried out their own retaliatory strikes on Friday, launching rockets against a U.S. base in Syria. Since then, no additional counter-strikes have been ordered. Leading the charge against the president’s current strategy in Syria is Sen. Lindsey Graham. In a 13-tweet Twitter thread posted Friday afternoon, he framed the president’s actions thus far as “weak” and “uncertain.” “President Biden owes it to those Americans fighting radical Islam to respond vigorously to any attack on them and their position by Iranian proxies. The weak, uncertain response to the initial attack obviously did not work,” he wrote. He added that there’s “only one path available” when the U.S. is attacked, and that’s for the U.S. to “respond swiftly and vigorously with overwhelming, punishing force.” View the whole thread below: President Biden and his national security team are letting America down. — Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) March 24, 2023 I fear General Milley and Secretary of Defense Austin are not proving to be up to the task of providing the deterrence America needs to remain safe. However, the ultimate blame for the failing foreign policy and military situation we find ourselves in lies with President Biden. — Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) March 24, 2023 President Biden owes it to those Americans fighting radical Islam to respond vigorously to any attack on them and their position by Iranian proxies.

President Joe Biden’s proclivity for mucking up his lines has been a constant headache for his handlers and on Friday, the befuddled octogenarian did it again during a trip to the Great White North where he mentally misfired by praising China instead of Canada in remarks to the Canadian parliament in Ottawa, another addition to the geriatric human gaffe machine’s greatest hits collection. The occasion of Biden’s visit was a bilateral meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau where the two leaders discussed a variety of agenda items including the obsession with the radical reconfiguration of western civilization to stave off the purported climate change doomsday, Ukraine, and human trafficking among topics during the nation’s 46th president’s first official visit to the northern neighbor since he took office. It was while Biden was speaking on the exploitation of human trafficking that he flubbed, mixing up the human rights-abusing communist colossus with Trudeau’s own budding fascist regime which, while nowhere near China when it comes to sheer oppression, it isn’t for a lack of trying on the prissy prime minister’s part as was evident during his ruthless crackdown on truckers who were protesting Canada’s COVID tyranny last year. “So today, I applaud China for stepping up,” Biden said.“Excuse me, I applaud Canada,” he said as many in the gathering of Canadian politicians laughed at him. “You can tell what I’m thinking about China,” he added. “I won’t get into that yet.” Gaffe or Freudian slip? Biden “accidentally” praises China when addressing the Canadian Parliament. China is on his mind, and the @HouseGOP knows why. pic.twitter.com/0M8Rix5nds — Congressman Byron Donalds (@RepDonaldsPress) March 24, 2023 Twitter pounced on Biden’s mental misfire with many users noting that of all of the countries in the world, China was the first to slip off his tongue
