Coming into a community to gatekeep our experience is very disruptive. Please stop.
I could go into detail about why the ADHD condition actually does make it much harder to deal with stuff like subscriptions, but frankly you are not entitled to an explanation.

But that's assuming you actually want to know and aren't just posting this to create drama.
Your premise is that these countries have a binary choice between either using mines in a "responsible" way or be conquered by Russia which uses mines in a bad way.
This is a fallacy because there are in fact many other plausible outcomes:
- Using mines is not necessary to repel a Russian attack. Russia is currently very weakened by its war in Ukraine and NATO has significantly more material and spending (even without the US). It's totally possible to work towards peace without resorting to these barbaric weapons.
- It's theoretically possible that a country uses mines and still gets conquered. Mines aren't as useful as they were 100 years ago.
- It is unlikely that this country would only use mines in a "responsible" way as you describe. Armies do extreme things when faced with an invasion and any such reservations will quickly be cast aside if it provides a strategic advantage.

How hard could it be to find a picture of someone washing the dishes, without turning to the lying machine?
Chemical warfare? Cluster munitions? Bombing of population centers?
The point of international law on warfare is that they apply to everyone regardless of circumstances. What you're suggesting is war crimes in self-defense.
That's clearly a false dichotomy.
So the point still stands.
