God please tell me we aren't, please I know we are already doing terrible things but landmines are just terrible and they maim civilians, children with legs blown off.
Anyone who still supports this administration is a fool or a monster.
you think that an administration that loves raping kids and kidnapping brown people wouldn't target civilians?
They started the war by bombing school girls, so..
It is so fucking painful to have my existence tainted — without any direct recourse — by these... taints.
man I wish that we had a vigilante group of our own.
Some sort of posse, but for hanging criminals instead of random black kids. This still happens in the south, google it.
Our regime seems to be using Israel’s perpetration of the Gaza genocide as a playbook now.
So glad we dodged Harris being a warmonger or whatever… /s
To be fair, at least they're using the variety that relies on a battery to detonate. The battery is only anticipated to last 40 days.
Cluster munitions are obviously horrible, but at least we're harming civilians as little as possible? I don't know. I'm trying to put a cherry spin on a turd sandwich. Fuck Trump.
“I’m trying to put a spin…”
Yeah but why? They really don’t need people trying to run defense for them.
It looks like they are also anti tank mines? I guess I dont know a lot about them but I dont think they will go off if a civilian steps on one. That said, still fuckedz and someone innocent will probably still die.
The article mentions that they will explode if they detect their "orientation" has changed significantly - which is what happened when someone reportedly picked on up and it exploded, killing them.
Sooooo...... sounds like they're better than they could be, but are still pretty inhumane to drop in civilian areas.
Until they start adopting the Israeli line of we were targeting insurgents in the area hidden among the civilian population.
I like your optimism. If you want to, I can pat your head and tell you everything's going to be alright.
You think they just now started with this?
I mean, this "administration" is the worst, but not the first to start using land mines
War crimes, if we had any laws left.
Anti-tank mines, rather than anti-personnel mines, lest you fear the worst. Not that dropping any kind of mine on Iran is a good thing but, you know, take what you can get.
Great. Great.
