did you know that the US government used depleted uranium in iraq and afghanistan and symptoms of exposure are extremely similar to that of gulf war syndrome? it’s interesting cause all the things i read about gulf war syndrome make out the cause to be some mysterious chemicals or weapons but its really just depleted uranium but the US gov would never admit to that.
“Depleted Uranium (DU) is a toxic, radioactive heavy metal that is the waste byproduct of the uranium enrichment process when producing nuclear weapons and uranium for nuclear reactors. Because this radioactive waste is plentiful and 1.7 times more dense than lead, the United States government uses DU in munitions/ammunition which are extremely effective at piercing armored vehicles. However, every round of DU ammunition leaves a residue of DU dust on everything it hits, contaminating the surrounding area with toxic waste that has a half-life of 4.5 billion years, the age of our solar system, and turns every battlefield and firing range into a toxic waste site that poisons everyone in such areas. DU dust can be inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through scratches in the skin. DU is linked to DNA damage, cancer, birth defects, and multiple other health problems. The United Nations classifies Depleted Uranium ammunitions as illegal Weapons of Mass Destruction because of their long-term impact on the land over which they are used and the long-term health problems they cause when people are exposed to them. DU is used throughout Afghanistan and Iraq, mostly in aircraft, tank, and Bradley Fighting Vehicle ammunition. You can be exposed to DU by coming into contact with any area that has been fired upon by DU munitions, any equipment that has been exposed to DU dust ,or anywhere DU dust has settled.”

I hope all of you people so casually endorsing the US' proxy wars and militarism abroad as "no problem" never know a single day of peace in your fucking lives
#you people are so fucking disconnected from reality it's unreal#do you know what 'supporting ukraine' means? do you *really*?#do you know what depleted uranium and cluster bombs do?#but it's 'no problem' to you#eat shit

The Nature of the Iraq War (Essay)

MOAB bomb
During the Iraq War, the US military is famous for wreaking havoc on Iraq's land. They destroyed a genetic storage facility for wheat seeds and contaminated the land with radioactive material using depleted uranium shells. Why would they go that far?
It is the intention of Israel, which the USA will always work with. Israel does not necessarily mean that small country on the map. It is backed by the world's Jewish capital as an invisible nation. The USA-Israel coalition forces are so powerful that China has to team up with Russia.
I remember what I learned in history class a long time ago - the Israelis suffered hardships after being taken captive in Babylon. I believe that the root cause of this was the Israeli society itself. The Israelis are vindictive. It is concluded that they took revenge on Babylonia, now Iraq, by making the land barren, going back several thousand years. They are people who do bold things without a second thought.

イラク戦争の本質(エッセイ)
モアブ爆弾
イラク戦争では、USA軍がイラクの大地をメチャクチャにしたことで名高い。小麦の種子の遺伝子保存施設を破壊し、劣化ウラン弾で大地を放射能汚染した。どうしてそこまでやるのか?
それは、USAが必ずタッグを組んで行動するイスラエルの意向だ。イスラエルは、地図上のあの狭い国を必ずしも意味しない。世界のユダヤ資本が見えざる国家として、後ろ盾になっている。中国がロシアと組まなくてはならないくらい、USA=イスラエル連合軍は強大なのだ。
むかし歴史の時間に教わったことを思い出す―イスラエル人は、バビロン捕囚を受けて辛酸を味わった。その根本原因を作ったのはイスラエル人社会そのものだったと考える。イスラエル人は執念深い。数千年前のことに遡ってバビロニア、今のイラクに、大地を不毛化することで復讐を果たしたと結論される。大それたことを平気で行う民族だ。

Creatures of Far'Kour - Mindreaders - Watcher
The Watcher. The much less lethal variety of Mindreader, it hunts by feeding its target their worst fears. The modern types that wander the plains of Far'Kour were trained by the Predecessors to be more docile, but they are quick to decide who is or isn't a threat. "Be careful in the woods. The dark is the mind reader's domain. All your fear, all your insecurities, it will use to hunt you down." - Business Liaison Lefantis Sr. "Mindreaders? Oh, those things. Listen, don't fight it none and don't think bad thoughts when it's looking at ya, it'll leave you alone. Hell, you feed it some meat and it'll even help you when you get lost!" - Irdavez Mirtoka, Head Biologist of the Far'kour Research Institute

#digital art#wolf#alien#monster#sci fi#ttrpg art#so these creatures#the reason they have such big teeth is interesting#see they used to have much smaller teeth#and still do underneath their combat jaws#but after SecComm tried to slay the Predecessors#they had been biologically engineered for combat#their teeth are made of a plant-made polymer capable of ripping through tungsteel alloy#a metal I'm making up that is on equal levels of armor capabilities to depleted uranium plate#this polymer is one of many mysteries of Far'Kour#as all attempts to imitate it have failed#and among other qualities#it is extremely receptive to psychic input#which is how the Mindreaders are able to 'deactivate' the combat jaw#very soon though#the party will be facing high ranking soldiers who have discovered the secret to wielding the polymer#and will be extremely dangerous
