Israel claims their occupation of the Golan buffer zone is pending “[establishment of] neighborly relations and peaceful relations with the new forces emerging in Syria” as they bomb literally every piece of military equipment and infrastructure they can find. It’s almost comical.

Why didn’t Luigi build an autonomous drone to do it? He’s probably capable of it.

Looking forward to a new round of proposed regulations on 3D printers. 😒
