I think it's insanity on the part of the UK and US, Ted. As I understand, the US nuclear arsenal is very poorly maintained and there's some doubt whether the weapons will even launch properly.

Though the Russian T90 tanks can be equipped with DU munitions, they are only using titanium tipped rounds. Remember this is not open war yet, it's still the SMO. If and when Russia is forced into a full war confrontation, this could go nuclear very fast. As in they will push the "Dead Hand" launch rockets and it's all over for the planet in a few hours. This is the Cuban Missile Crisis in reverse, right on Russia's front porch, and it is utter madness by the US/NATO/Western Alliance.

DU is a complete disaster for both Iraq and Afghanistan. The half life is 4.5 billion years. the shrapnel fragments will be even more radioactive in 100 years time due to the daughter products of nuclear decay...and so forth "forever"....
