The UN’s top human rights official on Wednesday expressed grave alarm that six European countries are either in the process of or are considering withdrawing from the international treaty prohibiting anti-personnel mines.
Well, what can one do, if one has the Russia as one’s neighbour.
Anything the Russia conquers, it mines extremely thoroughly, with zero maps. Several mines on every single square metre along the front.
If you have mines, the Russia will advance much slower, and that means you will have less mines to worry about.
The question is: do you want an area to have 5000 mines of your own with a map showing each one’s location or 30 000 Russian mines with no maps of their location whatsoever?
I prefer having less mines. Therefore, I am happy that Finland left the Ottawa agreement. And any other country neighbouring the Russia should definitely do the same, because mines are horrible things and the less of them are in the ground, the better.

That’s clearly a false dichotomy.
