      the geopolitical effects of this are wide ranging. Please treat it with more seriousness.

        Indeed, the U.S needs to ship more of these hawks to their allies overseas. We can’t be deterred by those who might say providing a snake dropping hawks military aid package like this would be an escalation.

      Mildly interesting?.. doesn’t exactly effect The World, though.

      Edit: a letter…

      It might be a strech to call it news, but consider it a palette clenser. And in this case BBC is the publisher that called it news.

      It’s news that occurred somewhere in the world, I guess. That’s what all the “US news is world news!” people were saying in the meta thread.

      It happened in America and is being covered by British news, so clearly it is internationally significant.

    Well look at the size of her frickin lawn. She must have to mow 24x7. Eventually a hawk was bound to drop a snake on her. It was just a matter of time.
