What problem do you mean?

The blastophaga psenes wasps in Turkey die during pollination just like the blastophaga psenes wasps in California do.

Here is more information about how figs (and fig wasps) came to be cultivated in the US.

Pretty soon you’ll be hearing folks say things like “why are you worried if you don’t have anything to hide” as if personal privacy has no value whatsoever. It’s a slippery slope!!!

I’m not sure I would call the particular missile the article is referring to “retaliatory” since afaik Turkey has not attacked Iran.

Ironic that Pakistan provided so much funding to the Taliban over the years only to one day see themselves fighting the Taliban. A familiar story…

Sounds like there will be more to come in this conflict. I really don’t see what Pakistani leadership hopes to solve long term by repeating mistakes of other countries (carrying out imprecise strikes with complete disregard for collateral damage) which led to intractable conflict rather than solutions in Afghanistan in the past.
