- There have been plenty of nasty weapons throughout the history of mankind, but what is it that makes some weapons too inhumane to be used in war?

“Hey you can’t use that laser rifle, it can cause permanent eye damage.”
“What about this RGP that can blow people’s arms and legs off?”
“Sure.”
I mean, if you have both of your arms and legs blown off, I'm pretty sure you'd be most likely dead by then
Except that no matter how you use a laser weapon, it could be observed by a civilian and harm them...RPGs are a bit more controllable.
RPGs are meant to pierce through armored vehicles, not to be used against individual or groups of combatants.
@@jackcooper1448 whether if a weapon harm a civilian or not depend on where you point them. If you don't point laser weapon at civilian you won't harm them and if you do point RPG at civilian, you WILL harm them.
All weapons can harm civilian, it's just all depend on where you point them.
@@luongmaihunggia Lasers can blind you if you view them from the side...you cannot be certain civilians will not be looking into that area of the sky at a close enough range to cause permanent retinal damage.

Seems like it aged a bit too well, tbh.
What is this about?
@@simplesimon399 ohhhh boy.
"Any weapon with the ability to cause permanent blindness, or severe irreversible eye damage" Does that include like.... bullets?
Angry Dub and the head to its all about luck
that would probs kill u eny way
The decisive point is the kill/cripple rate.
A war fought with blinding lasers can go on much longer and might leave a country with 2/3 of the population blinded forever. A war fought with bullets and other weapons primarily build to kill would have long since ended by that time.
Yes but a bullet to the eye is also quite likely to kill you so while they would both have the same effect on survivors a bullet makes it a lot more likely for them to die instead of just being blinded for the rest of their lives.
So, no shooting anyone's cornea off from the side.
This rule must come from the saying, "it's all fun and games until somebody loses an eye"...
"Hey, no biological warfare! You swore on the see-saw!"
That's not really the point. It's more like violate the pact/treaty/agreement, and everyone else on that list knows to exile you completely and band together to stop you.
Gwyn and Zachary don't know. "Stewie just said that!"
Also, a lot of this came out of people not really understanding conventional weapons yet.
Chlorine gas was used at a time where we were just figuring out that charging at machine guns with a horse and a sword was a bad idea. It was untrodden territory so no one really had a grasp on things yet.

Not to mention indiscriminate weapons often directly destroy the entire thing you are at war to obtain.
Want to take over a highly profitable rubber tree trade in south america? Bombing the rubber fields is probably the worst possible way to go about things.
Want to take over a population so their means of production benefit your country instead of someone elses? killing them REALLY lowers the work output they have.
Want to take over defensible town? Carpet bombing the entire place into dust directly destroys any defensible positions.
---
Do you want ANYTHING within a mile radius? Using a Dirty Bomb makes the area uninhabitable and too costly to reclaim for your own use.
Just by the fact that 99.99999999% of wars have been "I want your resources" or "I want your power" destroying the resources or people who want power over is a direct loss to you... Meaning many parts of the geneva convention actually BENEFIT YOU if you follow them correctly.

Korea really is the forgotten war.
Jttv Yea, but Korea didn't last that long. Also, nothing was gained by North Korea, or the U.N.
Adam Peckham The Korean War is technically not over. North Korea has not signed any peace treaty.
Lenard Segnitz I know, but there have not been intential shots fired since 1954. It is essentially over. Technically, Congress never declared war, so we never went to war in the first place.
Jttv and still not over. The only reason there is no fighting is due to a agreement not to shoot. No peace treaty was ever signed
Adam Peckham Congressional hair-splitting. Of course the lack of a peace treaty is another piece of hair-splitting. Btw, IIRC the Vietnam "War" was just a police action too.

Actually it's usually the inverse. Gas for example is good against unprepared civilians and militias, but in conventional warfare sucks because it's difficult to control and can be defeated with the right equipment. So it was banned.
Then there's undetectable mines. Sure during war they can kill enemy combatants, but experience dictates more often than not it's the same guys who placed the mines who end up blow up. So it was banned.
Triangular bayonets and knives. Create a wound impossible to field treat, but also lack versatility (a normal combat knife is more of a tool that doubles as weapon than a weapon that doubles as a tool), don't kill quickly and are in general obsolete as a weapon. Banned.
Hollow point ammunition (in conventional combat). Devastating on humans, but easily defeated by any kind of armour. Banned.
White phosphorus incendiary devices. These ones are complicated because it doubles as chemical weapon on top of an incendiary one. Still there are better usage for White Phosphorus than incendiary devices, and there are plenty other weapons to burn things with. Banned.
Bacteriological weapons. Nearly always backfire. Banned.

The French were the first to use gas in WWI, but it was only tear gas. The Germans were the first to use deadly, chlorine gas against people.

Sometimes the best response to someone threatening violence is to stop them using violence. If they have a weapon, then you need a weapon if you intend to apply meaningful violence to them.

meanwhile in alternative universe: land goes to country that wins agrument

As much as people don't like to admit it, "winning an argument" doesn't mean that you're right, it just means that you had the advantage in the debate and people agreed wih you rather than agreeing with the other person. Even if you're wrong, you can still win a n argument. So, thinking that giving land to people just because the country won the argument is a good idea is pretty stupid, since it can be abused just as much as everything else.
I suppose that if our world really became like that, that would just make politics even shadier than it already is, with everyone manipulating facts and information and pressuring lower countries (lower countries economically or military) into giving in. Of course all of this already happens, but the point is that it would be even worse than now.

Can someone remind me who is gonna be enforcing these laws in war?
Its not a law, but more of a "Gentlemens agreement". Imagine two men settling a dispute with a violence, after agreeing that they want to avoid permanent injuries, so moves like eye gouging are out of the question. This way a lethal outcome is avoided. In the same way conventional warfare is not about killing, but instead forcing their acceptance of what ever goal started the war (say a land-grab, political dispute, or rescource based conflict). Once they accept this there is no further quarrel and any permanent damage you have caused to your "enemy" nation is counter-productive to your future relations with them, and to your own economy from potential trade with them.
Every other country in the world who agreed to the rules. Lets say Britain went to war with France. France uses a forbidden weapon. Now other countries that France has deals with are going to see that France is untrustworthy and a deal breaker and so will put sanctions on France, possibly cut ties with them and maybe even join in thew war to punish France for being a dick to Britain.
Now once the war is finished France will also likely have to pay Britain money as compensation.
International politics is a very complicated thing but i can assure you that if any country was to break international treaties they wouldn't get off lightly.
They're war crimes...there is such thing as laws in war you know
There is a island with people from every country, and they are the ones who say if the people deserved to win the war, the dumb thing though is that if you win the war, you get to choose what was right and what was wrong in said war, so...

What makes a weapon inhumane? The answer should have been something that kills
@@kamikaze_kami1198 Actually, it should be weapons that don't kill, because inhumane weapons are inhumane because they cause a lot of suffering for the victim, while weapons that instantly kill their targets, don't.
I certainly hope that I have misunderstood your point and that you were actually talking about human involvement in warfare as a whole being inhumane, and if so I would totally agree with you.
exactly my thoughts. Like what makes shit stink.
Nothing wrong about this sentence. There's nothing inhumane about two swordsmen battling one another despite having WeApOnS that are intended to kill.
“After WWII, America enjoyed relative peace until the disastrous Vietnam War” that quote makes me sad as my grandpa fought in Korea and Vietnam, yet he got so sorrow when talking about Korea, the brutality that was yet it wasn’t brought to our living rooms like Vietnam was, such a tragedy the Cold War was.
Some of the brutal combat did reach the American press actually. Director John Ford made the 1951 documentary "This is Korea" (which is here on TH-cam) and newsreels covered it some too. The combat was horrifyingly brutal, North Korea literally made enslaved captured teens fight in their army, and the US-led coalition had to regularly use napalm to drive the Communist forces out of the forests, mountains, and abandoned villages (which often were reduced to rubble and ashes). I'm not sure exactly how many communities the fighting between the two sides destroyed, but the groups of homeless refugees fleeing south stretched for literally miles. Those poor people had just been trying to live quiet lives, and then their peninsula became a massive ideological battleground. Even American generals like MacArthur were horrified by how violent the battles and overall conflict got.
These rules essentially encourage enemies to use civilians as meat shields.

So what exactly stops a superpower such as US from using these prohibited weapons? You say it's "prohibited" but so what? Who's going to enforce punishment for ignoring the prohibition? This whole idea of banning certain methods of warfare seems pretty absurd if not ridiculous.
well the US has never agreed to most of the conventions mentioned in the video and the US continues to use banned weapons.
More like "You do not use it against us and we do not use it against you".
La mastro. Think of it as a "gentlemens agreement": I.e everyone could make use of these weapons without "legal" repercussions, but since no one wants to be targeted by them, People have agreed not to use them. Think of these rules for warfare like settling a dispute with a fistfight where you agree "No hits below the belt, and no eye gouging". Either part in the fist fight can choose to break the agreement, but the moment they do, they will be targeted by the same dirty tricks by their opponent. Also everone spectating the fight can lose respect for the "dealbreaker" or even join the fight to punish them.
Our Country may be strong but their is still 196 countries ready to stop us.
196 countries that as long as they avoid nuclear methods, would statistaclly still lose if working together which even that is unlikly because everyone whether they want to admitt it or not are afraid of us.
look at pearl harbor and pre american entrance int WWI uboat sinkings. They are all scared and either secretly want us gone or an their side. Whether idiotic liberal want to admit it or not we lead the world from a military stand point.
the only thing that reallly scares us are nukes and in realitly if we were quick enough, we could nuke all forign stronghold in several times over and still have surplus.

this is the kind of videos I would watxh at 3 am and what time is it when I watch this? 3am
so we are able to use guns to kill people in war but not blind them?
Yup. The intention of humane weapons is to swiftly kill outright. Blinding lasers are intended to maim not kill.
Logically however it makes sense to blind combatants. Injured but alive enemy soldiers take up a lot of an enemy's resources and infrastructure, unlike a body bag (which the brits noticed in ww1 when we eventually gave our tommies helmets, all of a sudden our hospitals got overwhelmed with soldiers being injured by shells bursting overhead instead of getting outright killed).
The point of war is to destroy your enemy's ability to fight. Typically you do that by destroying their soldiers but equally you can just cut off or make them consume additional resources.
Eg if you can destroy their weaponry you can end a war without even killing anyone. If you starve them they won't have the energy to fight.
well its like this: if the dude blinded survives he is left well, blind, if a guy dies then he dies.
the ant god most people would rather be dead than blinded.after that point you're just useless baggage.
If you kill someone. That's it. Theyre dead. No pain no sadness. But if you blind someone. Itll make them suffer their entire lives
Legit I think banned weapons is because it’s too op and the war would nd to fast

Connor Lundeen it's still an ongoing war

+Eric Stull Armistice 2 surrender boogaloo
Stfu. You probablt didnt have an clue about the korean war till this kim vs trump shit.
Korean war? Whats a Korean War? Is that some sort of new album?
Ah yes, the Buffs and Nerfs of real life warfare..
Heres a rule for war:
Dont attack country's. That kinda ends all conflict which is what we want. Right?
Pfftttt who even attacks countries anymore? Unlike you barbarians, we civilized persons just use nuclear bombs. Get with the times, old man
The same reason war existed is the same Reason the fire nation attacked
But what if they have oil?
More people have been killed in the name of territory than religion, politics, and culture combined. Chimps fight wars for territory, ants fight wars for territory; war predates our species by billions of years. Good luck stopping it.
In the end there is always the most inhumane weapon of all, Nerf
the jolt should never, ever be used by any living form
Mr. Microwave I thought it was the devious lego mine
XD

Especially the disc gun..

Who is your animator? I’d love to get to know him/her. And I love the animation
wait a second ...Second Thought ... 2nd Thought ... 2 Thought ... OMG
Second Thought is Thoughty2!
Illuminati confirmed?
what the hell?
wat
This is so forced its not even funny.
2 thought makes no sense. it would be thought 2.
DuckMySick The most unfunny thing I heard today.
if a "weapon" is Humane it's not a weapon.
What if a fist is used? Then it's a human weapon.
TheTayz might want to invest in glasses buddy reread my sentence.
It was a pun, you burned out bulb.
TheTayz that was not a pun.
TheTayz human and Humane are two completely different words I can go fetch a dictionary if you like.
This has been in my recommended for 2 years
@Second Thought -
what about usage of pests like locusts ...
and also very unconventional / exotic weapons like:
1. Weather / climate weapons,
2. Tectonic weapons,
3. Plasma, sonic weapons, electromagnetic weapons (like an EMP),
4. Chemtrails,
5. Extraterrestrial weapons ("in theory")
the japanese used storms to slap the mongols... twice
Since there are rules of war, that means that war is a game like tag.
nah just hardcore search and destroy
DoutingFire 59 its basically airsoft but with real guns
Open Box or Hardpoint
If it's unnecessarily painful, causes uncecessary injury, and takes any length of time that exceeds instantaneous death.
Basically, if they have a chance to feel it, it's inhumane lol
" War is cruelty, there is no use trying to reform it" - William T Sherman.
How to get around these war conventions:
Option 1: Don't declare war; just call it something else and do it anyway.
Option 2: Only use them on your own citizens. Bonus points if they are on Federal ground and not State territory.
Civilized warfare: the ultimate oxymoron.
Actually, war was invented by cities in Sumer and along the Nile. Before that, it was more like organized murder of your competitors, like early Sioux killing Cheyenne and driving them out onto the plains, which the French wrote about as it was taking place in the late 17th Century (guess what I reported upon in Anthropology 101 :-).
cHriLLe cBerg yes, regard for civilian and combatant lives is a ridiculous concept.
cHriLLe cBerg So people should just annihilate the biospheres of entire countries right?
govin pillai
Actually, Russia has more nukes than we in the usa have right now.
Ayenate' Lawson
The person who invented warfare are oxymorons...
Minus the oxy...
A conflict turns to war when a human is killed. A war is bad when a soldier suffers to death rather than a quick fade to black. A war is terrible the second a single civilian is killed.
David Miller Thanks for the essential feedback that I could never have gone without.
The anime avatar explains it all
900bot There's a reason we say "Iraqi war" and not "Iraqi conflict".
Yousif Osama the sentiments are cute and all but until congress approves it, it's just a conflict, not a war.
Manic Oasis When you're own house isn't getting blown up by the American troops that used to be here, of course you wouldn't call it war, but I sure as hell could.
TH-cam has a sick sense of humor recommending this
When you said napalm was more deadly than the two atomic bombs that was a HUUUGGGE understatement. Upper estimates of the amount of casualties in the firebombing of Tokyo would suggest that it’s possible that more people died in one sustained bombing raid using napalm in a populated area than both atomic bombs, so if you count all the times it was used in the entire war, it likely laps the total death toll of both atomic bombs several times.
I'm actually surprised that you guys actually put your sources in. I've been looking for a channel that actually puts the sources in their descriptions, and to finally see one, I can trust the facts in here. Thank you.
Instead of fighting with North Korea, let's just invite them over for a competitive game of CoD. Whoever wins gets to tell the other one what to do.
you really think a fascist anarchy communist is gonna agree to that...be pretty interesting. And yeah there a multiple different types of communism. same for many of forms of goveremnt socialist capitalist or democratic capitalist ya know etc etc
+Eara Soulous Holy shit, did you really take a joke that seriously?

“What makes a weapon in humane?”
Nothing, all is fair in love and war.

Scorpion tarantulas?
Fun fact: Up until May 2016, the USA sold cluster bombs to Saudi Arabia that were use in civilian areas in Yemen. That's how empty these treaties are.
Link/proof?
well you see saudi arabia may not have to follow these.
That's not really "fun" is it

Fun fact. It was Obama's Presidency so go figure lol

0:18 you mean the inferior siege weapon
"Once the dust of the second World War settled, America enjoyed relative peace until the disastrous Vietnam War" What about the Korean War? Heck, we're technically still at war with North Korea.
because its not an official war...I don't know what education you have but it obviously sucks
@Eara Soulous - The Korean War was exactly as much an "official war" as the Vietnam War, both beginning as "police actions" to skirt a congressional vote. The Korean War was every bit as bloody a war that saw over 33,000 US soldiers killed in its 3 years compared to 47,000 over 20 years in Vietnam. Involvement in the Vietnam War was declared over by President Gerald Ford on April 23, 1975. No such declaration has ever been made regarding Korea.
Now to turn your crude accusation around; I don't know what education you have but sentences begin with a capital letter, "it's" with an apostrophe is the contraction for "it is" versus "its" as a possessive form of "it", and sentences end with a punctuation mark. I suggest before saying someone else's education "obviously sucks", make sure you don't have a factual error and 3 grammatical errors in your statement. 4 errors in 17 words is embarrassing enough without having your accusation blow up in your face too.
Colin Heimann Vietnam was almost won until politics got in the way same as the story with our modern wars
@Alex Mills - I agree and feel free to take that up with the video creator. My reason for quoting this statement from his video was to say "Hey, wait, don't forget about the Korean War. Watch some MASH reruns, that conflict was horrible and was never formally declared over either."
WW2 never ended just Japan and Germany surrendered
