  1. This is using some cryptocurrency - blockchain nonsense.

  2. Only Russia is actively supporting it, with China neutral, South Africa reluctant, and Brazil and India not even participating.

Yes, but is it worth going to war over a drone dropping some leaflets? Returning an equivalent amount of waste paper was funny and appropriate, war is neither.

Look mate, biological warfare is definitely not cricket.

What did the poor insects do to deserve this?

as a kind of protest against the war in Gaza.

Well, I guess enforcing the Genocide convention is technically 'a kind of protest'.

Would be funny if Ireland triggers NATO Article 5 in response.

You can write Türkiye as Tuerkiye if you want to stick to 'pure' English. I mean, Latin.

You'd have to make major adjustments to actually have one violently explode.

That, or buy a Samsung smartphone.

Or you could blow the door or window of the plane and crash it.

Would it be enough to actually compromise the hull? The hull would be built to withstand random birds colliding (and at the speed a plane flies, a bird would hit it with the force of a bullet or so), so I'm guessing it should be fairly strong. Also, a hole in the hull shouldn't cause a crash - the 'door fell off' Boeing still managed to land safely. (Whoever is near the explosion is going to get badly injured / killed though.)

Old buildings, particularly stone ones, can stand for centuries with good maintanence. I've seen so many cases of old (100yo) buildings standing in much better shape than newer (20-30yo) ones.
