DU rounds aren't toxic. There are probably some health issues associated with handling them, but this article greatly exagerates the danger. https://www.publichealth.va.gov/exposures/depleted_uranium/ DU rounds are used by many different countries and aren't banned by any treaty. Russia has and uses DU rounds as well. https://www.newsweek.com/russia-depleted-uranium-munitions-uk-military-aid-tank-armor-1790756

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1698298577653506434

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
