You are twisting what i said for some strange, unexplained reason.
I said vast amount of countries. Countries. Which BTW includes the majority of NATO countries and their partners.
Id rather take a sword wound than some young kid shaking a branch in 20 years time and having a bomb blow their face off.
These types of ordnance are normally paid to be removed by donations. Well they don't remove them they actually blow them up where they lie. So if its on a roof they blow the roof up. Not sure how the donations to detonate/remove them will work when you drop them on your own country.
The horrors of the past and present look to be continued in the future.
Laos is till not free of them and the death they bring.
Clearing Cluster Bombs In Laos

Around 20,000 people—40 per cent of them children—have been killed or injured by
cluster bombs or other unexploded items in
Laos since the war ended.
When was that 1973?
And they were a Neutral country.
From 1964 to 1973, the U.S. dropped 4 billion
bombs on
Laos. To this day, the country holds the dubious distinction of being the most heavily bombed neutral country.
Clean up efforts to rid the country of UXOs are under way, but at a painfully slow pace. The U.S. spent $17 million a day to drop the bombs, but contributed just $61 million between 1993 to 2012 to remove them. At the current rate of spending, it will take several thousand years before Lao soil is bomb-free. Having little choice, “the Lao people live with these numbers and statistics every day of their lives,” said Coates.
US bombs dropped 40 years ago plague Laos today
