gotta be weird to have a country tweeting at you
We are living through a strange time but I assume as time goes on - things will get weirder in ways we can't imagine right now.

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.
The citizens of the future use pocket-sized devices to communicate in real time over a worldwide network. To a global audience - the State of Israel tried and failed to make fun of a world famous Swedish teenager. 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?
