Will DU be used just to poison ethnic Russians in Donbass?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Depleted uranium shells have been sent to Ukraine, as confirmed by U.K. Armed Forces Minister James Heappey last week. Britain announced last month that it would send the munitions for use with Challenger 2 tanks in Ukraine, a move that immediately escalated nuclear tensions with Russia, with President Vladimir Putin threatening to place tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus just days later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The U.K. move comes amid indications that Kiev is increasingly desperate, to the point of being willing to risk scorching the earth it is fighting for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over the last few months documents emerging as part of the Pentagon leak have shown Ukrainian forces are faring far worse than previously reported by corporate media. As reported by Consortium News, the leaked documents \u201cshow the long-planned Ukrainian offensive will fail miserably.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Britain\u2019s decision to send depleted uranium rounds to Ukraine represents more than a dangerous escalation in the West\u2019s proxy war with a nuclear-armed power. It is an example of Ukraine\u2019s willingness to target the ethnic Russian population in eastern Ukraine and poison the land it is attempting to retain, but knows it won\u2019t be able to. Depleted uranium will have effects not only on Russian fighters but also on the civilian population for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Russia intervened in Ukraine after eight years of war by Kiev against the ethnic Russians in the east who declared independence from Ukraine after the U.S.-backed 2014 coup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The U.S. and British corporate media appear to dismiss concerns of Russian nuclear escalation in response to the use of depleted uranium rounds, and the official line in the West is that such weapons represent a low environmental risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, there are compelling reasons to question the official stance. Depleted uranium rounds were used by U.S. forces in both Iraq wars, as well as in the Balkans in the 1990s. Depleted uranium munitions are heavier than lead and are typically used to pierce the armor of tanks. On impact the metal shears, burns and vaporizes. This process produces toxic radioactive dust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A 1999 report by The Guardian related the sentiments of scientists speaking in regards to bombing Kosovo with depleted uranium: \u201cOne single particle of depleted uranium lodged in the lymph node can devastate the entire immune system.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n In John Pilger\u2019s film documenting Iraq after the first Gulf War, Paying the Price: Killing the Children of Iraq, he spoke with doctors in Basra where they reported a 10-fold increase in cancer deaths. Pilger also spoke with an Iraqi pediatrician who described an influx of congenital deformities never seen before the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the case of the second Iraq War, the most striking reported effects of depleted uranium and other toxic substances were seen in Fallujah, where U.S. forces bombed mercilessly in 2004.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The rise in birth defects in Iraq have been called \u201ccatastrophic,\u201d and The Guardian went so far as to publish a piece in 2014 that accused the World Health Organization of covering up the \u201cnuclear nightmare\u201d left behind in Fallujah by the U.S. and U.K. Others have compared the city\u2019s health crisis with that following the U.S. nuclear attack on Hiroshima<\/p>\n\n\n\n Is this the future faced by generations of ethnic Russians in Ukraine?<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2.

Wear your keffiyehs and bring your flags!

Are you aware that Indigenous youth in California face some of the most disproportionate numbers of school suspensions and juvenile detentions? It is not surprising if you haven’t, as issues facing Indigenous peoples are severely underrepresented in news\/media platforms and typically have a very low degree of cultural competency. Join us to learn more about how we can all assist tribal communities in the creation and protection of a better future that we know to be possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Host: Silicon Valley Dem.

(Compassionate Alternative Response Team)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In person<\/p>\n\n\n\n SF City Hall (Steps) Get CART Rolling; Fund CART Not COPS!<\/p>\n\n\n\n CART is the alternative to police when resolving street concerns with unhoused community members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Join the CART campaign and community advocates in DEMANDING that the city funds CART<\/p>\n\n\n\n We need a better way to respond to situations involving unhoused San Franciscans. CART, which stands for Compassionate Alternative Response Team, is a program that would divert non-violent 911 and 311 calls regarding homelessness to a team who is specially trained to de-escalate conflict and connect people to services and support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The problem? Mayor London Breed refuses to fund this effective solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The League of Women Voters of San Francisco has been part of the CART Coalition for several years. LWVSF supports CART because of our commitment to public safety for all and our advocacy work on community safety. CART is about a future of care, not criminalization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s been two years, and CART has yet to be funded or implemented. Instead, the city has come up with a different street response that would be operated under the Department of Emergency Management, called the Community Response Team, or CRT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n CRT is certain to be a failed response and is another misuse of city dollars. Worse yet, CRT as it is currently structured will lead to additional harm and trauma towards unhoused community members, which is the exact opposite of what our city needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Info: https:\/\/lwvsf.org\/home\/f\/sf-must-fund-cart-the-compassionate-response-to-homelessness<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Adrienne Fong Not back posting on a regular basis Please include Accessibility and ASL info in your events!
