Yea for antipersonnel landmines, not antitank mines, and it's easier to demine big flat fields of wheat than to demine smaller terraced and/or flooded rice fields
Different farming approaches mean it's harder to run a modified remote control tractor through a field of ap mines in Cambodia and Laos, plus the technology to do that hasn't been as accessible as it is today.
UXO is a tougher challenge because the explosive force takes out a lot of the easier mine clearance options. UXO from 100 years ago is still all over Europe.
We'll cook ourselves long before we can cook the planet
The podcast episode goes into the DEA repeatedly stating a few years into the war that less than 1 percent of heroin came from Afghanistan, based on nothing, while Canada was chock full of it
I've never seen the beehive size in context, I didn't realise it was so small
Anyway that the current conservative government support of the existing judicial interpretation of the treaty says everything
Antipersonnel mines won't last nearly that long in agricultural land
Yeah, and pay it off with what? A lot of farms run on really thin margins.
The farm.
If the UK ag sector is so unprofitable they can't handle a 20 percent tax every few decades, it doesn't deserve to exist any more than any other UK industry that's collapsed and been offshored.
farmers who are doing even moderately okay will essentially not be able to pass their land on to their children without their kids forking out near £60k
So they have to pay 60k to receive more a than a million in assets? Seems like a pretty good deal and one you'll easily be able to get a loan for
working-class farmers
If you have net assets of more than a million pounds, you're not really working class
It seems like looking at cards but combinations of cards make number go up, make dopamine go up?
Is that it?
The advantage China has is the economy and scale and vertical intergration
China is genuinely leading technological development in a few fields
That Biden was the only G20 leader unable to walk up the steep red carpet to greet Brazil's president seemed to be a metaphor for his standing on the world stage.
It's an unrepairable replaceable part, you need to get a new gas cylinder that fits or a new chair
Or buy it again new, then stick the busted cylinder in the box and say it came like that and get a refund
They could literally just bring up a Ohio class sub and launch a Trident tipped with MIRVs at Moscow from 4,700 miles away
Your entire line of reasoning is something that the US can simply accuse Russia of for using the Iskander platform, which it does in Ukraine
Last time I checked, Ukraine wasn't a US state or even a territory yet
it does have some utility
Like what?
Donald Trump had an "above average" amount of "bullet ballots" to the tune of 600,000 ballots. This, he claims, is what stole the election.
Even in the stolen election fantasy Trump still overwhelmingly wins the popular vote
Imagine thinking the collapse of a nuclear armed superpower is the safest we've ever been
It's hard to envision what's closer than long range conventional mission strikes on one nuclear armed state by another nuclear armed state
Tactical nukes?
We have a flu pandemic every year, we just slap the label of "seasonal flu" on top and forget the half a million people that die 
What next? Cutting social security and Medicaid? Damned woke checks notes Trump
Since what, 1801?
