@Mylovanov It's called "depleted" uranium because the highly fissile isotopes (u-235) have been extracted. It's what is left over when you do enrichment.
@inwitinwit@jimsciutto If a reporter quotes some as saying "I am going to kill him", should they point that out as a crime in their tweet? The goal here is to provide rapid dissemination of the key points of the speech; analysis can come later.
@inwitinwit@jimsciutto It's not a news article... Just saying "war crimes" isn't particularly helpful. It provides no context. Taking a picture of a POW is potentially a war crime... Are you saying these are equivalent?
@astraiaintel Comparing WW II bombing in which a thousand bombers could be used and still miss the target (Schweinfurt or the Nakajima Aircraft Plant) to the era of smart weapons in which a couple of bombers are all but guaranteed to hit a target doesn't make sense.
