China to send 100,000-strong 'duck army' to help Pakistan fight its worst locust plague in 20 years
2020-02-27
The teams of birds are of a native breed called 'No. 1 Guoshao', which is billed as the 'locust-killing genius', also delicious in garlic fried rice

#4   Prediction: Within a month...

Don't forget the avian flu the ducks will bring. Something that occasionally jumps from birds to humans. Why does that sound familiar?

#3  Prediction: Within a month there won’t be a single duck still walking on two legs, the locusts will be as bad as ever, and the government of Pakistan will have to borrow more from the IMF or some other institution in order to pay back the Chinese loan to acquire the things.

Not a particularly clean animal.

Hey, maybe send some North Koreans. I hear they'll eat anything.
