in one 3 day period the US dropped over $110 million of bombs on laos,
During Obama's presidency, (the 1st US siting president to visit laos) pledged $90,000,000 over 3 years to help clean them.

As an american I am embarrassed at this...to little to late

I saw the full doc on RT News this morning. https://www.rt.com/shows/documentary/48 ... ed-fields/

This Little Land of Mines is an independent feature documentary about the resilience of the Lao people as they live among and work to clear 80 million unexploded bombs from when the United States secretly bombed Laos more heavily than any country on earth.

RT News? Russians don’t plant mines?

The Russians have a new mine called The Hunt.’ Smart mine with a computerized motion sensor that also controls clusters of mines as well. Can determine target distance, range, speed, and if it’s an animal, human, vehicle. Denotes one cluster mine for the appropriate target then waits for rescuers to come before detonating another, and then another. Any attempt to disarm and they all go off.

According to the manual - there is no disarm, no de mine. Only defense is stay away. Any victims are dead. Any rescuers will die.
