In reply to the discussion: Reuters: US to send depleted-uranium munitions to Ukraine [View all]Earth-shine
(4,044 posts)71. You say this like our diplomats are not talking to theirs. They are.

> I also wish we were more focused on forcing a peaceful outcome, and I reject those that advocate for all-or-nothing,
