John Pilger on depleted uranium from Iraq to Ukraine, with Phil Miller 

What like TONY BLAIR was PUNISHED! for an ELEGEL AND UNWANTED WAR TOWARDS IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN AND THE REST OF THE MIDDLE ESTEN COUNTRY'S! THIS INDIAN PRIME MINISTER WILL BE PROBABLY KNIGHTED BY KING CHARLES OR THE QUEEN !.

Yes you're right but I would add the British cabinet should be put on trial and if found guilty should go to jail

Agreed but the West does evil because it knows no one can bring them to account.

These comments are the reason rhey invest in NSOs pegasus monitoring systems. The reason for shaddow banning comments. Its called Nazism controlled by (edit. Paranoid) "victims".

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU FROM FRANCE

@@soulinexile ... which reaches everyone in the UK and around the world. Probably only 0.1% of the UK population would know who Mr Pilger is, or what depleted uranium weapons have done. Very effective censorship.

Western main stream media is a CIA /MI6 asset

UK has no media

Every truth is crushed in UK media. Its just a government mouthpiece.

@@freedom4639 only the ministry of truth

Its a shame the true journalist are a dying breed

sick western hedgemony needs toppling. hopefully they will over do it at some point and the people everywhere will revolt, i'm with you

Poisoning prime agricultural land is such a crime that only a bigoted piece of trash could of permitted

The. Scabacious shull of his shows brain damage.

Oh bilge.

David Gamble; But it has been suppressed. He mentions that in this video.

I'll believe you when I see him tearing into the CCP or Putin with such persistent fervour.

More bilge

If only America could be held accountable for their crimes 😢💀💀💀💀 From giving plage-flea-ridden blankets to Indians to atom bombing a surrendered Japan to the vicious chemical warfare used in Korea and Vietnam to recent years indiscriminate use of Depleated Uranuim in Serbia, Iraq, Libya, and Afghanistan. America needs to be made to pay.☠️

@@richardscathouse Sad but true.

By you and your friends? Who?

@@ColtraneTaylor So they can be criminal countries and do as they please? Russia and China say otherwise and that's why we're close to a world war. And Russia is at war with NATO in case you haven't noticed.

"Crime" means "against the rules decided by the powerful". That's all. So, you're talking about the actions of the powerful. Why would they make rules against the things they want to do?

And 000s of children still being born in Vietnam with cancers and deformities thanks to American chemical warmongering.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU FROM FRANCE

Yep. That's clearly the goal here. Where territory cannot be regained, it will be poisoned. For decades to come, children will be punished simply for being born Russian.

Butb the UK and US say it aint so.

The US and Britain need to be held accountable.

All the PMs of Britain are war criminals, and probably most US as well, but maybe some are actual just puppets.

Try being a citizen. It’s exhausting living in 1984

They are still at it all over the world.

@@mviking39 - I have been saying for a while now that the US establishment is just as toxic to their own citizens as they are to everyone else.

It was created exactly for this , same as Australia , if the conflict rise up with China u will see the true face of Australia :S What west has done and doing to the 90% of the world is so sad , and its always 1 man to blame and all is forgoten soon after ...

Let's not make the mistake of regarding the reactionary, LGBT+ hating Vladimir Putin as anyone worth praising. He is the enemy of the Russian working class, and his invasion is nationalistic and an attempt to bolster support from the Russian oligarchs who keep him in power.

It's already depleted, so I think wind and rain scattering the uranium far and wide is not the main problem. It seems like most of the casualties are people, or rather 'beings', in close proximity to the materials.

Absolutely Maggie. We are already seeing here the long term effects of sending depleted morality to the house of commons and the house of Lords. One can only shriek at the hideous mutations of humanity that have now emerged from within those institutions this past year. DAMN Labour, damn the Tories, Guy fawkes clearly was one of the good guys.

@@onanysundrymule3144 its akin to the boston tea party.

@Carlo Slats Do you really know what depleted uranium is? Natural uranium is made up of primarily two isotopes. U-238 which comprises around 97% and U-235 which comprises around 3%. Depleted uranium is over 99% of U-238. It is what's left over after most of the U-235 has been removed. U-235 is fissile when it captures low energy neutrons. It is used in nuclear reactors. U-238 will split if it captures high energy neutrons or if it captures a low energy neutron, it will be converted to plutonium-239 which is also fissile with low energy neutrons. Uranium has low energy radioactivity. It gives off alpha particles as it slowly converts to lead. Outside of the body, those alpha particles are not deadly. They are stopped by the outer layer of dead skin cells. However, when it is inhaled, it is extremely deadly. Nothing in nature is as ionizing as an alpha particle. That particle can pull electrons off of fluorine. It is nothing to scoff at. Inside of the body, uranium is deadly. When the stuff is heated up it turns to dust. The dust gets widely distributed. There is NO reason to use depleted uranium. Tungsten rounds cost more than does depleted uranium. But unlike uranium, tungsten is not radioactive. Western Ukraine is now radioactive with uranium dust after that explosion. All due to the UK government. Some of the greatest soil in the world is now contaminated. And you are likely highly unethical saying depleted uranium is not dangerous.

@@davidharris2147 Thank you for your detailed answer. You are clearly very knowledgeable on this topic, but I think you misinterpreted my comment or I didn't make myself clear. I think it is evil and also stupid to send any kind of nuclear weapons, depleted or not. It was specifically the 'wide and far' part of the original comment I was responding to. Please allow me to ask you more specifically: Is the range in both time and space in which health risks of many kinds can be experienced, significantly lower for let's say 10 depleted uranium shells as opposed to let's say 1 Hiroshima sized nuke? My simple mind thinks that with a smaller explosion, smaller quantity of uranium, no mushroom cloud type effects instantly distributing dust over large distances, etc. the nuclear materials and terrible effects would remain more localised. Just thinking basic math here, Smaller Quantity = Smaller Footprint. If I am wrong about this, I would appreciate it if you can take the time to elaborate on the why and how. In layman's terms please... ;)

e evidence of it causing birth defects, cancers and toxic environmental damage is there for all to see. theri puppet people of albanians on kosovo whcih as bobmed by depleted uranium ammo deny it cause any defects.in fact this is used as proof in propaganda ammo is ok.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU FROM FRANCE

Absolutely amazing we have so many good journalists against this carnage yet the politicians and the media support the slaughter it causes.

Will have to look for 'The Coming War on China', thank you.

A legend as a propagandist for Russia.

Russian propaganda?same as American propaganda?😁😹

yup,for centuries.

Odd, then, that my RU-vid stream brought this to my attention.

Google algos ensure only approved content reaches the public. Genuine enquiries need to access page 2million of wherever.

A legend only as a propagandist.

Lol😅😅

@@GG-kf8ox I thinking banning DU is a good thing not a laughing matter

Environmental havoc and health catastrophe affecting mainly civilians.

Termites? Hmmm... genetically engineered by evil Russian scientists to eat only Ukrainian wood? I know, you meant thermite.

@djape1977 Well, would you rather be hit by burning magnesium or thermite rather than white phosphorus? I don't think that one is better than another. I would much rather face rounds of white phosphorus than DU rounds. Magnesium and thermite are also far better than DU rounds. If the US did not favor these rounds they would have been made illegal.

All are manufactured and invested in by rats. Those rats that monitor these comments. Say hello to the NSO. Hello Pegasus. 😂❤ love you

@@davidharris2147 I don't know why phosphorus is illegal and magnesium is not and I don't care to learn really. I'm sure both are highly unpleasant. However there is a distinction of one being illegal and other not. In fact, from my highschool chemistry i do know that magnesium is not toxic while phosphorus is. So that's probably why one is illegal and other not.

Absolutely!

War Is illegal if it's not the west waging it !!

Then we would have to arrest all those that have invested in the MIC. Good idea. Great in fact.

You are right. War is a crime.

Agree but the hegemonic, greedy war mongers will never allow war to be banned😢

lot of such journalists in east.western media has beern tellign lies for empire for cenutires.history and ogin off westenre imperiliasts are too horrible tio report for them.

A US Army, nuclear health physicist, should have known better and used his PPE

@@jondurr what makes you think they didn't? They were all military personnel .. Iraq 1 ... I don't think soldiers were aware of the danger... like now, they still don't like to admit it. From memory, he was surprised how radioactive when he got there and that soldiers had been climbing over them for pics. Maybe look him up.

Seriously or tongue in cheek? How the United States have been conducting themselves is largely due to British influence, you know, the Perfidious Albion. Never heard the term "Anglo-American"?

Because they are a de-facto State of the USA and do their masters bidding like a good little dog.

Big spike in radiation nearby after that explosion. Had to be the DU. May have also been the tanks that got hit, which would be on par for this fiasco.

@@boggisthecat Yes. Double background gamma radiation. UK was warned so many times and even the BBC reported that Russia warned the UK MOD. Project Ukraine is all about money laundering and dirty work of UK/USA.

Polska 🇵🇱 też !! 300 km Rzeszów

@@joannaszulc2694 I feel ashamed that my country have been so irresponsible.

@@boggisthecat Double the background levels of Gamma radiological readings.

Because Australia is run by serious rats. 5 👀s are watching you, me, everyone. Say hello to Pegasus everyone.

John is a hero - and has been so since his reporting on the American war in Vietnam.

Too bad the Australian govt has its face firmly planted so far up the United States' arse then isn't it?

That was always the plan

We? Don't worry, no one is looking to Brits for guidance let alone help. BRICS and others are working on it. I don't like China though.

Yep. That's the point. The shells are to be used against territory inhabited by Russians who refuse to concede to the demands of the ultra nationalists: "DON'T BE RUSSIAN!". Children will be punished for decades to come for the crime of being born Russian.

A Serbian friend of mine was stationed in a South Serbian army base during his military service shortly after 99... he and more than 300 of his army mates got the same cancer... my friend lived to tell the story. Most of his mates died :-(

I have direct experience of DU in Iraq and Serbia. You are absolutely correct about the uptick in cancer rates in Serbia, I've seen it amongst friends, but I don't know of any impartial studies to give real teeth to this discussion. All the anecdotal evidence says that DU is potentially very dangerous. In light of this the shipment of DU to Ukraine is shameful - but pretty par for the course.

Not a reader of history, then?

What took you so long 😂 said the Irishman. But congrats finally on your revelation. 👏👏

Let's hope you are five

Don't worry guys/gals all feelings are transient.🤣🤣🤣🤣

Better late than never !

More like Afghanistan looks like

I would agree with your statement,but would say,end up worse than Iraq.Its now just a superpower battlefield.

My understanding is that it was a war crime previous to the 1980s

I personally know of two babies born with birth defects in areas where DU has been used. Is there a link? Who knows for sure, but I'd say it's immoral given all the anecdotal evidence.

I'm no expert but another channel was saying the shells have to get to 1,400 degrees K to disperse which happens when they hit a tank (say) but when they get blown up in the manner we saw the temps don't reach 1,400 degrees C. Now go easy on me if I've got the theory wrong but this was how I understood this. Of course the Russians now this hence they are happy to destroy the shells by missiles etc.

@@fireflyrobert 1,400 degrees is to melt it and then turn it into a finely divided powder, this explosion wouldn't have done that to the majority of it, most of it will have simply been blasted apart by the explosion and bits of it will be all over the place.

Background Gamma radiation readings have doubled and risen further. I have heard this.

Oh wait. Green T shirted president just happened to be out of town.

Russia didnt pahesed out but dont use them as they have no problem annihailating ukraniajn armore wihtout it.there is barely osme left lol In fact new depleted urnaium round 3VBM22/3BM59 (3BM59 "Svinets-1") entered service in 2016.

world in such western emprie woudlnt parasite on rest of the world.hence you will hear onyy kernels of truith from several of guys in west.

The Challenger 2 and the Challenger 1 and Chieftain before them use three piece ammo, projectile, bag charge and a large brass filled igniter..forget the proper name. Because its separate projectiles and bag charge the British Heavy armour can’t fit the long rod kinetic ammunition made from Tungsten Carbide. Even though the older tanks used APDS Tungsten carbide rounds. Seemingly the long penetrators have better armour defeating properties. Sadly the DU is poisonous I know people who worked with it at A Magnox Atomic Power Station. The Political elite just lie all the time.

Ben The- Dunce-Wallace has been lobotomised and only does as his handlers dictate to him.

Probably should say that Challenger 2 tanks require a DU sabot round of special design as the rifling would otherwise give the fin stabilised darts detrimental spin, smooth bore guns are designed to use finned rounds

they wont ever do it cause their econmiues depend on pludnerign world and war crimes lol.tyhey have acted liek savages for centuries.

they have been invading kasrma for cneturies.stupdi relgious concepts wont change asnything but power of china and russia and irisng third world will

Pretty sure they actually use Tungsten ammo. Titanium wouldn't be very useful in ammo.

Please can you explain what is the difference between the two?

@@bluenorsky4391 tungsten is harder, and denser.

@@ronanrogers4127 and not radioactive

@@bluenorsky4391 they both go through steel like a knife through butter one is highly toxic ie depleted uranium the titanium is safe so to speak with no radiation fall out but titanium is much more expensive but one has morals the other pure evil regards lindsay

Chieftain Tanks??? Firing as main battle tanks??? It was Challenger Tanks, get your facts right. The Challenger used 3 types of ammo and it was mainly HESH rounds.

Challenger 1 in the First Gulf War, Challenger 2 during the 2nd Gulf war. I know people who worked with DU in a now decommissioned Nuclear Power Station..and it’s not to be taken lightly. It is dangerous. You do not handle it with unprotected hands. I wonder how many X British Soldier who have Cancer from these ammunition’s?. The Politicians lie all the time.

now they asre.before war they were not part of russian armed forces nor were directly foudned. As least it was denied they are.Forerign legion was formally part of French army since foundation.

Happy New Year!
