Washington (CNN) The Trump administration is expected to loosen restrictions on the US military's ability to use landmines in the coming days, weapons that have been banned by more than 160 countries due to their history of killing and wounding civilians, multiple Defense Department officials tell CNN.

The move represents a major reversal from the approach of the Obama administration which in 2014 committed the US to largely adhering to the 1997 Ottawa Convention, the international agreement which banned the use, stockpiling, production and transfer of anti-personnel landmines.

This story is breaking and will be updated.

Shout out to all the billionaires, CEOs and corporations profiting massively off the broken as gently caress health care system. Still sociopathic poo poo stains on the underwear of humanity that would be better off introduced to some rope and a lamp post, but they're not doing it because they're idiots vomiting propaganda like the trolley up above. They're the ones making that propaganda because a bigger number in their off-shored bank account is more important than society wide misery and death.

I hadn't thought of it that way, just because the generations before us went and got careers, bought houses, had families that they didn't want because they were told that's what they're supposed to do that we as well should do the same thing and be wage slaves because it wouldn't be fair to them if we weren't loving miserable and have no options.

quote:

The Trump administration plans to reverse Obama-era limits on landmines that would give the US military more freedom to use these brutal weapons that are banned by countries around the world, according to multiple reports.

The US is not a signatory to the 1997 treaty prohibiting the use, stockpiling, production and transfer of anti-personnel mines (APLs) which more than 160 countries have signed, but the Obama administration committed the US in June 2014 to upholding "the spirit and humanitarian aims of the" treaty. The only exception, the Obama administration revealed that September, was the defense of South Korea.

US policy has been for years that the use of APLs is forbidden outside of the Korean Peninsula, hidden weapons that maim civilians even years after a war is over. Trump is expected to overturn that policy in coming days.

"There is a change coming out, but I am not going to comment on it before it is," Secretary of Defense Mark Esper said Thursday. State Department and Pentagon officials offered some details to Vox and CNN though.

The US "will not sacrifice American service members' safety, particularly when technologically advanced safeguards are available that can allow landmines to be employed responsibly to ensure our military's warfighting advantage, while also limiting the risk of unintended harm to civilians" a State Department cable obtained by Vox's Alex Ward reads.

The cable reportedly says that under the new policy, landmine usage will be permitted around the world. Only those landmines that have a 30-day self-destruct or self-deactivation feature will be available for use, CNN's Ryan Browne reports, citing defense officials. So-called persistent landmines, which do not self-destruct, will continue to be prohibited.

It really is impressive how Republicans just completely ignore piles and piles of empirical data that investing in education and healthcare leads to not only broad based increases in the quality of life in a country, but also contributes to growth in the long run.

Like it's not even a take from the rich and give to the poor argument at this point, our pants on head approach to these things is coming at the expense of the rest of the economy. There's the barest percentage of sociopaths who don't mind trampling on the poor for short term personal gains. But most conservative voters want people with less to suffer and are willing to suffer for it, how do you even get into that state of mind? Sociopathy implies self-interest, it is too generous of a description for them.

This assumes they want to see increases in the quality of life or long term growth.
