  • I mean those are two reasons it was kept, but there's also:

    • It's based on a historical English law
    • Wild predators
    • Police back then were sometimes days away (and still hours away today in some cases)
    • Hunting for food
    • Shooting the French
    • Shooting the Spanish
    • The revolutionists were tired of raiding garrisons every time they needed armament
    • The founding fathers wanted to keep their war ships
  • Putting antennas and batteries in mines increases production cost.

    The mine would broadcast it's signal, effectively telling the opposing army exactly where it is so they can disarm it. Effectively rendering mines useless, more of a speed bump than anything.

  • If Russia upholds their signing of the Geneva convention they're actually responsible for removing all of their mines after the conflict is over.

    But we all know they'll say the mines are either Ukraine's or Wagner's and not remove them.

  • Tbf Russia's PFM-1 is based off the US' BLU-43. The difference is the US went "Oh wow, this is a really bad situation" and stopped using them half a century ago.

    Double tbf: Ukraine also has 5.5 million of these mines themselves.

  • Actually if he uses a color besides blue/purple it'll make Twitter stand out from the crowd.

    I mean... it's not going to go well with Elon at the helm, but it's too early to hate on a rebrand just yet.
