    I was thinking about this yesterday. Liberals believe that the land where that war is fought is Ukrainian land, right? And for sure, they should know something about how terrible the effects of depleted uranium and cluster munitions are, on civilians, long after the fighting is over? (Though I vaguely remember an article from the BBC or similar media outlet saying depleted uranium is actually not that bad, because of course that’s the line these ghouls push.) So, even in the fantasy world where liberals’ dream of Ukraine winning this war and taking back all the territory succeeds, the people of the country that liberals claim to support so much would STILL suffer from all the effects of those munitions.

    Basically all I have seen from liberals on the matter is “But it’s important that Ukraine wins!! We have no other kinds of weapons to send!”. If the latter sentence is true, that’s just an admission of defeat coming soon. If it’s not true, they’re just making the land unlivable for the sake of a temporary strategic advantage. Truly, western liberals, are willing to fight this conflict until their proxy country is entirely destroyed. All while sitting in the comfort of their own home, treating this war as just more entertainment for themselves, knowing it’s not them blown to pieces by cluster munitions.

      they should know something about how terrible the effects of depleted uranium and cluster munitions are,

      I think in many cases, they don’t. Alternatively, they are so far removed from the conflict that it’s just a competition they need to “win”. I doubt the cost of human life is something that they even really comprehend.
