Oh, brilliant strategy—nothing says “let’s resolve this peacefully” quite like sending F-16s on a little holiday to a divided island! Must be a new take on diplomacy, eh? 😏✈️

Just what we need, more F-16s flying around like they’re on some sort of Mediterranean holiday. 🤦‍♂️ Next, we’ll have them serving ouzo and olives while sorting out territorial disputes! 🍸✈️
