Smoke rises after South Korean soldiers set a blast to remove land mines in the Demilitarized Zone in 2002. The Korean Peninsula had been the last region the U.S. military was allowed to use the weapon — until Friday, when the Trump administration lifted the Obama-era restriction.Smoke rises after South Korean soldiers set a blast to remove land mines in the Demilitarized Zone in 2002. The Korean Peninsula had been the last region the U.S.
In its statement, the administration said a new Defense Department policy will lay out how and when,"in exceptional circumstances," U.S. military commanders can deploy land mines equipped with self-destruct/self-deactivation mechanisms.
When will the vile orange monster use them on our borders? Like the Berlin Wall, will they be deployed to keep others out or us in? Either way, they primarily maim & kill civilians. They have been condemned world-wide. But Trump, the sadist sociopath, loves inflicting pain.
Hey Reverend Pence VP , probably just another move to make us a more Christian nation, right?
To be clear the Pentagon asked for this for times they feel they need them and there are restrictions on their use and cleaning them up
WTF!!!
Princess Dianna is rolling in her grave.
I am aghast at how low this administration can go...
Ummm....what the fuck?
So what’s the military’s take? Will they deploy them or ignore him?
I swear this guy is the Antichrist!
Are you kidding?
Do y'all remember this?
Next week they're lowering the smoking age to 12
Guess who removes the landmines?
If he starts blowing people up at the border, every single mangled victim needs to be plastered on every newspaper's front page and be the first story on all news programs.
The word evil comes to mind
This is reason enough to end his presidency
realDonaldTrump and senatemajldr GOPLeader LindseyGrahamSC SenatorCollins lisamurkowski joniernst RandPaul MittRomney JohnCornyn marcorubio and Jim_Jordan SenMcSallyAZ RepDavid SenAlexander mattgaetz tedcruz GOP DevinNunes are disgusting non-human beings.
Do you really believe our enemies dont already use these in some form ?! Really ?
What is wrong with us? Isn't there anyone in the administration that can stand up to Trump and Mitch and say, Hey this is evil let's not do this.
mooncat_alice Trump, of course, has not the slightest concept of the true damage inflicted by land mines. Including, but entirely ignored by Tangerine Mussolini, the deaths and maimings of civilians, particularly children. Well, okay we know he doesn’t gaf about children. But still.
Waiting for Trump's executive order to emplace mine fields on the southern border. His base will love it.
I say we make it interesting and place a few in each of golf courses.
Princess Diana would not be happy, God rest her.
The mines self destruct after a period of time.
The cruelty is the point. ☹️
Jesus, these people are troglodytes!
Between the land mines, the coal mines and the asbestos, there's a good chance this isn't going to be healthy!
tRumps obsession with and hatred of Obama knows no bounds. It seems to be his sole source of motivation exercised with grotesque ignorance and laziness and lies. Worst POTUS ever! He disgraces America everyday.
US going rogue again!
Trump is probably still salty Princess Diana turned him down, considering she was a big anti-landmine advocate. That's how he makes policy, right?
What the actual hell?
Sick
ALSO: I believe every president after Eisenhower contributed to cleaning our air and water. realDonaldTrump is trying to undo those policies that protect us. Someone must STOP POTUS BEFORErealDonaldTrump GETS US ALL KILLED!
I felt we were missing limbless children and livestock after a time, didn’t you? How does this legislative move even matter? Does Ivanka make land mines, too?
This is just cruel.
The break was already there. Obama kept using them in Korea.
Trump is evil.
Did some munitions manufacturers see a small dip in profits so asked for trumpster to prop them up with a fat no-bid government contract?
Trump's march of cruelty continues.
Goddamn you realDonaldTrump
Simply ridiculous.
Don't ignore this. This step signifies this administration's underlying immorality.
WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!?
Well of COURSE they did. Next week its putting lead back in house paint.
Wow...I'm suddenly reminded of Nick Naylor
AmericaDeservesBetter
cwharlow A triumph for heartlessness, knowing what these mines do to people
If it didn't have Obama's name attached to it, he wouldn't have done a thing. He has an unhealthy obsession.
This is so stupid.
Trump is a fascist & he lost his mind. Because Obama put in the law?!!! Evil, evil Trump!!!
marvswife he's a horrible person
Shhh adults talking
what a sick ^^^^trump is ...destroy anything Obama did....bec he's black?
Undo everything Obama, including his deep state leftover plants!
Trump doesn't care what it is. If it has Obama's name on it, he'll try to obliterate it.
If it had the Obama name on it, he will remove it. He is so jealous of Obama because he knows he will never be as smart, be as classy and be respected by the world.
I thought this was a good idea, until I realized it didn’t say landlines...
I guess I could join the military for ordnance disposal. Ahh I guess Republicans finally got me. Free college, a salary or healthcare didn't attract me. Saving children from the greedy hands of my own country does.
Every time Trump does/says something, it's just so mean...everything. He has a real mean streak that seems to be invisible to so many people.
Is there anything from President Obama that he hasn’t overturned yet? So vindictive. Remove trump!
His bag of cruelties is a bottom less pit.
Don’t be surprised when Trump dumps land mines along the Southern border... his Christian sycophants will jump for joy!
That’s what racists do
Is it a friend of Trump who owns the company that makes landmines?
It’s ok... very soon someone gonna dig’em up and put’em on President chump land....
Torture ✔️ Land mines ✔️ Chem &Bio weapons ? Trump just a step away from joining the Axis of Evil before the limit is reached. There's room now as Obama took out Sadam and Bashar al-Assad was denied membership. ESSENTIAL REFERENCE:
I think he just wants to undo everything Obama implemented.
This is just another example of you not looking out for the great men’s den women who serve this country.
Trump is such a low lifer
What else is new? Hatred of Obama eats him alive.
At whose request?
If my son, daughter, spouse, or parent is serving our country and there is a way to save them, then I’m all in. When my son was in Iraq President Obama was in office and my son told me they were advised to not shoot but try to talk first! I told him his job was to come home alive
Another illustration of the anti “pro-life” character of this administration.
What do you know about bounds? We all know how you got where you are
If there’s a Hell, Trump’s gonna be doing a whole lot of screaming 😱
MAGA2020 maga realDonaldTrump is still your president.
If Obama had cured cancer, trump would bring it back
and they’ll be a little kid born today that will have a hand or foot blown off in 10 years because of this .
Hard to imagine! Hopefully our military will have the integrity not to use them. 🙏
This man is the essence of evil pure evil everything around him dies
Korea should throw Trump and troops off their island.
Dt takes a personal delight in ridding the world of anything Obama related.
My dad must be rolling over in his grave... he was a minesweeper in Korea. Job was to locate, dig up and dispose of old land mines from the previous conflicts! He put his life on the line every day to clean up the mess that was left... This breaks my heart 😭
Straight from the pen of a draft dodger!
“We'll still have to fight a century from now/The battle of a long gone war“
If President Obama would’ve built the wall, Trump would’ve been against it. 😒
What's he going to do? Use them at our border? U.S. State Department estimates that 60 to 75 million landmines remain unexploded in the ground worldwide
What would Jesus do? More mines of course!
I would say follow the money. It reasons are twofold cash in his pocket and undoing Obama's legacy even it it kills children.
Now do you believe me. Trump is the third anti christ. Everything good is made bad by him
Canada's RCMP will be first in line to make an order! They won't have to use IEDs anymore to bring Canadian freedom to Indigenous people cdnpoli
The main purpose of landmines is to control or kill the civilians in any area.
Oooohhhhh.... so that's how he intends to finish the border wall.
He wants to put mines next to his useless wall! SayNoToMines
God help us.
No bueno.
Mine the border is the next adventure in Trumpism if Stephen Miller has his way.
Of course. Doesn’t have to make sense.. just has to undo an Obama thing..
Good. Obama rule was infantile. Landmines are totally immoral...except in Korea! For reasons!
The biggest threat to troops on the ground is always the exponential increase in resentment from the local populations of the places we deploy to. Landmines fuel that fire...
So... So.... WRONG
Everything that’s terrible he does
Also something the rest of the world has banned because they maim innocent people for decades
I keep thinking of Princess Diana and all the work she did to help eliminate these land mines. Shame!!!
Must be Lady Di’s birthday or something...
We should flood the White House with photos of child amputees and aftermath of exlosions.
This is awful.
Thank you, President Trump! Someone is finally fighting for the poor disenfranchised land-mine operators. PromisesKept
Sounds like they're about to mine our border. To keep migrants out, or us in?
Maybe landmines will be deployed on the border if the wall isn't funded.
realDonaldTrump is STILL pissed that he will NEVER be anywhere near the popularity of BarackObama ! America LOVES Obama and Trump sucks! Obama is the greatest of all time!
Good. That restriction was pretentious and harmful.
Damn him! He’s just undoing anything with Obama’s name on it, no matter the cost or if it makes sense! Absolute BASTARD!
IvankaLegacy LandMines
Trump is on a roll lmao he has no other idea that's why
You didn’t hear this from me but I have it from a normally reliable source that these land mines are going to be placed around California to enforce the coming coronarvirus quarantine.
Is he getting a cut from the manufacturers? I will not be surprised. EvilDevilVileHumanScum
The pro-life party . . .
Also, Obama believed in the rule of law. So let’s dismantle that, too.
I guess if our president is above the law then we are above the law as well.
The cruelty is the point.
Who care that innocents get blown to bits?
His goal truly is to overturn everything Obama did.
Someone check if a company that makes or sell components for land mines was recently purchased by one of the Trump’s, or if said company’s donated heavily to A GOP PAC…?
yawn If Obama really wanted to do something significant he could have stepped down from his throne, and worked with Congress to pass Trump Proof Laws, but he was more interested in snowing the sheeple, as usual.
Of course. Why night GOPCorruptionOverCountry
Of course he did, the next President is going to be very busy bringing back humanity.
Which means landmines at the southern border of the United States. Awesome.
Trump is obsessed with Obama. It’s sad.
barbaric
