If word were to come from Trump, it would be that the Israeli border wall was not aesthetically pleasing.

Ugh.

How many people has the US killed with their bombings at least the one we know in, lets say...the last 20 years?

They're saying they were just shooting at a drone that flew too close. Lots of gunfire though.

So, they were able to detect it on radar/ optical systems, but had no automated system to engage? Shit tons of small arms fire was the only method available?

Sounds like the drone hell of the future.

Maybe Ted Kaczynski was onto something...

I think we all assumed terrorism with what happened in Toronto but it looks like it was just your run of the mill unstable guy with a van.
Pretty incredible though that the arresting officer single handedly subdued the perp without firing a shot.

Was the incel/ 4chan connection verified?

"In the last several decades the Palestinian leadership has missed one opportunity after the other and rejected all the peace proposals it was given. It is about time the Palestinians take the proposals and agree to come to the negotiations table or shut up and stop complaining." - Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman


This guy is either the first sane leader from the house of Saud in generations or the Arab Petyr Baelish.

[dimejinky99]

So 55 people killed before lunchtime and no mention of it here? If it happened anywhere else we’d all be furious about it no?
We’re standing by and watching Israel commit a slow genocide.

What’s next?

Is there any truth to the figure I saw of the Saudis having 7 years of burn at current oil prices and current expenditures?

but hey, there is a lot of love there too, you know.
