Let’s say that the Department of Agriculture knows of an effective way to control locusts. I would hope that this method would be shared with Pakistan. And if they need advisors, send them. But as for any monetary transfers...nope.

They better learn to eat grasshoppers. Just pretend you are on ‘Naked and afraid’ and shelter in place. You’ll be fine.

Well, you could have boiled locusts, fried locusts, locust salad, locust sandwiches, chocolate covered locusts.....spaghetti and locust balls.

You going to open the Bubba Gump locust factory?

What happened to the 100,000 locust-eating ducks the Chinese said they were going to send?

Locusts are edible insects. Several cultures throughout the world consume insects, and locusts are considered a delicacy and eaten in many African, Middle Eastern, and Asian countries. They have been used as food throughout history. from Wikipedia.

Nevertheless, I am 100% in favor of giving them technical advice and support.

Beyond that, there is not much more that we can - or should - do.

Technical support on how to field test their Nukes. I'm all for that.

Pakistan...Hmmm...like hiding Osama Bin Laden Pakistan?

Yeah, like Christian-persecuting Pakistan - as one example, see Asia Bibi.

That ... could get interesting.

As someone said, starvation often leads to war.

I seem to recall that about the Weimar Republic. Somebody correct me if I didn’t recall that correctly. TIA

To me, this seems like where the world is headed. Government debt piled upon government debt.

Wasn’t it just a few weeks ago that the locusts were billions strong in Kenya, eating all the crops and plant life?

Looking for Obama’s birthplace...

Can we get the locusts hooked on opium poppies? That would make a great Afghan occupation force

OK, Pakis.. you want help with your locust problem because you’re concerned children will starve? Everyone get butterfly nets and go to town on ‘em. Think “protein,” not “pest.”

It’s Islam.
Neighbors dressing differently or pronouncing a word differently often leads to war.
