It's an interesting idea, the biggest issue is that the BLD pathogen lives in leaf tissue and most nematophagous fungi dwell in soil or woody stems. If an endophytic fungi were found to have an adverse effect on nematodes, that might be the key to making this work. See 'phyllosphere microbiome' research for real attempts at doing this sort of thing.
Thanks for your service in alerting us to this unsubstantiated and terrible incident. Are you going to make a new submission for each of the tens of thousands of Iranians killed or tortured by their own government? Where are your posts for the undisputed Hamas atrocities which instigated all of this? Are these not sufficiently traumatizing to insist that they be brought to the attention of the readers in this inappropriate forum? But now we should all just get along?
> Are you going to make a new submission for each of the tens of thousands of Iranians killed or tortured by their own government
Please go read my comments on Iranian regime. I have Iranian friends online and they all have spoken highly badly of Iranian regime.
You know that the people of Iran are the most haters of their own regime, because its their freedom which gets infringed upon, when you and I talk on a forum of freedom. They were literally protesting.
but the same innocent people are also being bombed by USA and Israel (Please refer to the post about Iranian Schools with girls getting bombed) and no, that isn't disputed by anybody.
So, to me, who has both Israeli and Iranian Friends. Do you really want to know what I believe?
I believe that this is an extreme blunder from the USA/Israeli Side to wage this war. They could've done this a month ago when protests were happening and the people of Iran would be on their side but they have essentially just made the nation get a common-enemy as innocents die as well.
And even my Israeli/Jewish and US friends are agreeing on me that this war has been a massive blunder. The straight of hormuz which was previously opened has now effectively given Iranian regime a tax on 20% of oil supply with a toll booth effectively.
If you want boots on the ground, its gonna be a forever war & innocents will die as well, just as they did in the last middle-east wars. Nearly nobody I know wants yet another Middle east war.
Iran was weakening by itself with protests from the people actually living inside. Either US/Israel had the tiny window during that to attack but as soon as the protests were brutally crushed, then launching a month after protests ended has led to this Iran war disaster.
Either way, Innocent lives of Iran are dying. I have met friends in my life of Iranian descent online who are now taken offline because of the war, I sometimes wonder if they are even alive or not, the same way during protests, I hate both their regime and Israel/US for this war and the way they are handling this war with innocents being killed, and no, once again, it has been confirmed in nearly all media reports that one finds where the natural conclusion is that, yes Innocent people are dying because of this war and this is what I am against.
I am against wars, period. I am not biased towards any one side because I somehow like the islamist theocratic regime, Again read my comments on hackernews or even on this thread. I and my nation have been on the opposing side of an Islamist extremism attack (India) and I was shook to my core.
But that doesn't mean that all muslims are bad or would not make me sad if a muslim boy is hurt, it hurts me equally as much as if it might hurt a boy of my own community.
Once again, there are good muslims and bad muslims, good jews and bad jews, good hindus and bad hindus.
At some point, there are good people and bad people and religion doesn't become a point of bias in my line of thinking.
Once again, please read my messages/learn a bit about me, if you wish to respond to me, I would really appreciate it.
I've read what you've written. I agree with some of it. There are many things which were done as ineptly as you'd expect from the current US government. Nonetheless, a thing worth doing is often worth doing badly.
It would have been better to have done this at the time of the initial Iranian protests. Unfortunately it takes time for the US to move all its hardware into place. If the US had proceeded to "do something" at that time and things didn't go well, the same people who are saying that now is too late would be saying that we should have been more prepared before acting.
It is disingenuous to say that the Iranian people are being bombed by the US and Israel. Surely you understand what the goals of the war are. Or maybe you don't since you bring up the girls' school as if that was intentional and not a mistake. Both the US and Israel would be thrilled if only the evil rulers of Iran could be eliminated with no innocent people being hurt.
People are wringing their hands about the economic fallout from the Iranian theocracy's control of the Strait. Maybe consider how much more effective that control would be if they were allowed to finish developing their nuclear weapons.
One thing I don't understand is why you thought it was important to amplify this particular incident by posting it here. You write as if you seek a cooperative solution yet you were seemingly unaware how incendiary and divisive posting that story would be. You also mention the girls' school yet again. Saying you're "against wars" is insipid. Everyone is against wars except the jihadists. Your protestations notwithstanding and your portrayal of yourself as some kind of pacifist, the things you have posted and have written here demonstrate that you are biased towards one side.
Read the guidelines and then come back and enumerate which criteria this post meets and which it violates. I don't know why you are so determined to have this story posted here or why any of the other goings on in the wider world haven't similarly "traumatized" you and also need to be posted. Regardless, this forum is not appropriate for working out your psychological issues. Unless, perhaps, they're related to the high price of RAM.
Now that the flags have been overridden do you feel better, vindicated, heard?
Uh, they know their audience? I read about the crash on the NY Times. Then I saw that there were comments so I thought to myself what can people have to say about a plane crash where it looks like ATC told the truck to stop? Times readers did not disappoint: Congress and government shutdown, lack of TSA staffing, Trump’s fault, ICE, DOGE…
The US made a mistake while attempting to ensure that insane theocrats who are close to building nuclear weapons are not able to. The fondest wish of the religious lunatics in charge of Iran (and we know this because they have told us) is to annihilate the US and Israel. They have demonstrated missiles that can reach Europe.
This is a lie. Not only is it not the stated purpose of the war, even Netanyahu himself went out of the way to say that Iran had no remaining capability to accomplish this and that was not why they were invaded.
> They currently have demonstrated missiles that can reach Europe.
The US demonstrated its missiles can reach schools in Iran. Why are we more concerned with scaremongering about what hypothetical evil acts Iran could commit while downplaying the evil acts that are actually being propagated by the US?
> Why are we more concerned with scaremongering about what hypothetical evil acts Iran could commit while downplaying the evil acts that are actually being propagated by the US?
Because normal people can understand the difference between a mistake and intentional acts. And between the scales of different actions.
One of which is explicitly not Iran's nuclear capacity, as confirmed by one of the heads of state invading.
> Because normal people can understand the difference between a mistake and intentional acts.
Normal people can also understand that some things are too serious to pass off as "oopsie". We have terms like "manslaughter" or "aggravated murder" for when your reckless negligence leads to loss of human life. You are still responsible for the murders you cause when you take actions with intent that you know will lead to people dying without intending any specific one of those deaths.
You may disagree with the idea that militaries are responsible for civilians they kill regardless of intent, but it is not poor argumentation. And the fact that it triggers you to support the war reveals more about you than you may intend.
You are absolutely not on the side that does that. The US has killed millions of civilians over the past century in all of the wars it's partaken in and pardons its own war criminals, on the very rare occasion it bothers to try them in the first place. Fuck me American propaganda is in another world.
> Do you see Americans cheering for the dead school children?
I'm watching Iran cheering for the dead children in countries around the world every day for 40 years.
I agree, people should be ashamed of supporting killing civilians and any society that supports that should be criticized.
I’m not familiar with any instances of Iranis celebrating civilian deaths though? Do you have any examples?
Getting angry didn't seem to help you here. If you want to discuss the topic respectfully, I'm open to continue, and I'll explain what you've missed from the article.
First, you'll need to apologize as a show of good faith.
I did provide you with proof, and I can help you to see it. But I don't get from your angry tone that you want proof. It looks to me more like you want to shut down proof before it changes your mind.
