Mines are annoying for your own country to clean up afterwards. Why not just make more suggestions for the Geneva checklist?
This was announced 6 months ago, they just had to wait it out until they could officially leave. It’s understandable, Russia isn’t a signatory and they can’t defend themselves with clutched pearls.
People mock America for not being part of these treaties but they are just circlejerks to make countries who are not threatened feel better. Once they are threatened they do what they must.
Why just cause immediate damage when you can leave behind indiscriminate weapons for generations?
Evil. This is evil. Just look at what these mines have done in places like Laos. Polish children being amputated 50 years from now will not reflect this decision well. Fucking Evil.
Poland will only deploy the mines “when there is a realistic threat of Russian aggression.” Right now, they are just stockpiling them just in case.
Princess Diana weeps from somewhere above.
they should mine their whole eastern border with claymores, it will keep the Russians and the illegal aliens away
Ottawa should really be pulling out of the Ottawa Convention at this point
Finland joined them. It’s smart to be ready for Russian aggression
Treaties like this truly only work until they are needed
Another succinct example that treaties are pretty much pointless hot air when there is zero enforcement power.
Russia will surely use antipersonnel mines should it decide to invade Poland so Poland act only to level the playing field.
they need nuclear weapons like yesterday
Poland, the only sane European country.
Time for countries like mine (Norway) to stop the wokeness which in practice means sacrificing their soldiers to make liberals feel good. We need antipersonnel mines, nukes and cluster munitions. I’m not going to fight Russians if they put me on the frontlines with such a handicap.
