Yeah but this a white country it’ll probably get picked up pretty quick.

Ed: listen I’m sorry if that’s upsetting but we’ve cleaned up two world wars faster then either of those countries and what’s the major difference?

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.

So still finding WWI and WWII land mines in France as recently as 2014 as booby traps in pipes (over 100 years after the start of WWI) doesn't count somehow?

Things in the area of the alsace go up and rarely come down it's an incredibly mountainous area, there are still functional artillery pieces out there. That is however much much different than knowing you put mines there, knowing civilians cross through it and yet refuse to clean it up. And to add to your point there is an area of France that quarantined since ww1 because of the level of arsenic, but again that's an exception not the rule.
