America and its "wars against...."
America hasn't won any war since WWII, and that includes wars against drugs, countries, people, religions, etc. I highly doubt they won this one. I remember "mission accomplished"

Yeah sure "murder hornets". Like "murder japs", "murder communists", "murder vietnamese", "murder gays", "murder blacks" or "murder arabs" before. I think I'll hold off celebrating until I know how much oil those hornets had in stock.
Hey man, I don't disagree with you.
However, I think if you take every article you read and turn it into, "meanwhile I am waiting for someone to fix the planer." You are not really doing much. All of us, including myself, want what you want but those are things that are irrelevant to this article and we should take to things that are relevant.
Fuck fascism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, and anything else that is down right degrading to any human being who is just trying to be happy
In the same vain though, fuck hornets, fuck those little murderous monstrosities.
That was a joke about USA assigning threatening labels to anything it threatens or exploits to make public afraid of it instead of being supportive of it. As most jokes, it based on the subversion of expectations, which in this case was the suggestion that hornets are good and misunderstood. Comparing them and what they're doing to bees to gay or black people was intended as a sprinkle of dark humor, implying their (hornets!) destructive nature finds parrarels with the multitude of oppressed kinds of people.
Way to tell me I'm unfunny and my sense of humor sucks, man (jk)

George Bush "Mission Accomplished" or...
“Yeah, yeah, we’re totally eradicated. All is now fine, there’s nothing to worry about. Sleep well!” - Sneaky Murder Hornet.
“Somehow, the murder hornets have returned.”
(camera focuses on the news playing on a TV in a home in the countryside, slowly pulling back away from the monitor)
"...thanks to their efforts, experts have now stated with certainty that this threat has been eradicated..."
(the camera has pulled back enough that the screen is framed by an outside window with a tree trunk coming into frame from the right)
"...and many communities in the northwest united states can breathe easier knowing that these dreaded hornets are no longer found on our shores. Reporting from Seattle..."
(focus shifts to the tree bark. Buzzing is heard, getting louder and louder until a single murder hornet queen lands on the tree. Cut to black. Roll credits)

Whew. Looks like the feds didn't find the colony of buzzy buddies I've been nurturing in the suburbs.
Can't wait for spring!
Hey hey, the US actually won a war! Been a long time coming..
Now you gotta send help to Australia. Those damned emus are a worthy adversary.
Pretty sure you guys have bought all our good toys, except the F-22. We won't let that thing out of the hanger.
Who to help? Australia is run by emus. They won in war.
It sounds stupid but I really want to imagine China was behind all this as a test run of bio warfare via invasive species and there's just some random CCP agent going Rats! We've been foiled again. Start dumping more corn syrup into our honey exports!
It was wild seeing researchers bait them with Meat and tie flags to them, but the fact that this strategy actually worked longterm is beyond wild.

finally some good fucking food...
Anybody know where i can get some murder hornets from? (i jest, ofc)
shitposting aside, how rare is it that invasive species are eradicated before becoming a problem? Can't be that common.
Never. Cause the definition of "Invasive species" includes it being a problem. Otherwise they're called "Introduced species".

Pretty uncommon but it has happened. Especially with agricultural pests where there is a large industry that can push for a proper response. I’m guessing beekeepers were the industry in question this time.
If it only affects nature and not industry then it’s usually ignored.
braaaap suspiciously murder hornet shaped stomach
Too bad.
