Mines are cheap and due to geography, they would be a relatively effective defense. For that reason, signing them away with the treaty has been considered a mistake ever since, but there was never enough political will to seriously consider withdrawal.

So why now? The full scale invasion in Ukraine was a shock that kicked the ball rolling. The topic woke up immediately and there was also a petition that collected signatures very fast. Took some time, but now we’re here.

Then what’s the problem?

Wrong. If nobody invades, the mines don’t get laid out in the first place.

If it does come to that, the positions are marked and they will get cleaned out. The reason for the treaty was that in some places mines were just spread willy nilly.

I still haven’t seen your explanation for how this is actually an offense, but keep moving that goalpost 👍

If nobody invades, there’s no problem, no?

lemmy is the kind of place where people get offended by defense. and I don’t mean what americans call “defense” but actual defense

Lemmy can get pretty echo chambery but that’s very human beavior

I think your problem is expecting personality from political posts then

Uh, got clarification on that robotic behavior?

You don’t learn muscle memory from books. Just go to watrr and try to float.
