Description:
Russian officials say the current locust plague is the most massive they’ve seen in more than 30 years. It’s taking a major toll on the country’s agricultural south. CNN’s Matthew Chance reports.
Locusts? I am so sorry to hear of this; Russia, my heart goes out to you………
Somebody should get the bullet for this.
There are thousands of bureaucrats responsible for environmental planning….especially in Russia.
Bloody locusts follow a predictable pattern based on temperature, humidity, previous cyclic egg deposits, and timing. All predictable.
Somebody took their eye off the ball.
This is a ‘cock up’ and Vlad should make a scapegoat of the head of the Department that didn’t do its job.
