Reports from Turkish journalist Erdem Atay state Israel's strike in Syria used 6 F-35Is and 22 F-15s. If what he says is true, this indicates Israel was ready for an escalation; however, Turkey backed down—fully aware it cannot contend with Israeli air power. pic.twitter.com/dmY1DYRsB1

5 Is that recent photo of Greta? It would appear that the years are not being kind to her.

I hesitate to use this term, and I intend no offense to any of the mods, but she looks like she could have been a berserker on one of those old Viking war ships.

Anyway, Erdogan and Greta, it would seem that Jew hate makes for some very strange bedfellows.

7 The photo is from the last Gaza flotilla but one, I believe, not the one earlier this year.

The poor girl has been broken, I think, by her parents’ fame-seeking on her behalf, in their successful drive to keep her from committing suicide as a anxious and depressed autistic teenager. She went in the Antifa direction instead of the trans direction, so at least there’s that.

She was not an attractive schoolgirl, unlike her mother and sister, and has settled into stodgy adulthood with no idea or interest in making herself more attractive.
