Neat story, but how is this world news?
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 a world story because nature is fighting back. Got hawks dropping snakes on mfs out here. WE NEED TO FOCUS ON SAVING THE ENVIRONMENT!!
It happened in America and is being covered by British news, so clearly it is internationally significant.
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.
