    Uhh, the explosives from the world wars have not been cleaned up. I’ve been evacuated from my home twice due to the discovery of aerial bombs under construction sites, and the forest behind my childhood home was still being cleared of mines until ~2008, IIRC. This was in Germany.

      That is not the same as actively mined areas with children who never saw the war walking around missing limbs because they powers that put munitions there refuse to pick them up.

      Also, I’m not so sure Germans complaining about remnant bombs is the best example given that they started both world wars and Korea and Vietnam didn’t even start their own wars.
