It’s 2023 and Israel is in the midst of yet another war. To use an anchorman phrase Israel’s actions “destabilize the region”. Military actions and reactions could ultimately spin out of control and lead to World War III. The US has 10,000s of nuclear missiles. The size of Israel’s arsenal is unknown but it’s probably in the 100s.

She is a much-loved and much-hated for her efforts against to protest dangerous increases in global temperature due to the burning of fossil fuels. The actions of man threaten civilization. Will it continue?

She’s alright. She’s a performative libs with opinions you expect from a lib. But she also makes conservatives go into a heart attack inducing rage because they can’t beat her for being a child and talking back to the mature adults
