Five European States Withdraw from Mine Ban Treaty

Just imagine that the wars were created to motivate people to build drones and AI. Who doesn't want to defend themselves?

Deer avoid the old inner german border. It had minefields.

Humans regularly kill large animals as well.

Though I'm unsure how much the presence of mines and absence of humans would affect animal deaths.

Do they? The old ones are usually magnetically triggered and I assume current ones have a CPU onboard interpreting multiple sensors.

The mines kill large animals too.

There are currently large forest fires in east germany (as each year). The fire cannot be effectively combatted because the ground is (supposedly) full of unexploded ordenanced from back in the cold war when the area was used as a trainig ground. (agian, nothing new. Nothing unique)

I really feel for Ukraine. They never wanted to take this step. They know exactly what they’re getting into: antipersonnel mines can halt Russian advances but they represent a bleak future of maimed and killed Ukrainian civilians in those areas.

I mean, it's why they're all doing alcoholism and skin-melting drugs.

Hot new theory: Russians constantly invade their neighbours because they are suicidal, not because of fascist and imperialist tendencies.

The russian kids yearn for the mines.

It's no surprise it's all countries bordering Russia. Gotta do what you gotta do!

And Ukraine is the next country to exit mine ban treaty, citing war demands, realities on the ground

The cynical part of me is asking, whether landmines aren't an effective measure to ensure environmental protection. The more areas are being mined now, the less they are available for human exploitation after the war.

War is coming and AI is already escaping from under control.

We are at the point were we need to decide how to program ethics and morality into AI, but we are too busy fighting over land and resources while boiling alive.
