For real though. Given pics and description, she’ll be fine and make friends quickly who can show her around.

Order a used copy of the camera by Ansel Adam’s and get a camera without any bells or whistles and a couple of fast primes that force you to learn how shutter speed, ISO, and aperture interact.
Agree with this 100%. First camera was nearly all manual camera with a 50MM. You learn a lot about light and how the camera works really quickly that way.

TLDR: Research your color palette preferences (Sony, Fuji, Nikon, Canon), think about what lens you want to shoot with, literally any camera body will do fine after the first two considerations.
IMO the camera body is less important than you think for landscape - which makes it easier (a tripod and tigger are helpful). You're often working with daylight and static or slower-moving objects, so pretty much any modern sensor and shutter can handle the job.
Other considerations (view some you tube videos to find your vibe):
(a) Color. Ever manufacturer's sensor and processor deals with color differently. Look at videos or galleries from Sonys, Canons, Nikons, and Fujis. There are things I like about each, but I'll leave preference to you.
(b) Look at lenses you might want to buy. Once you buy your first camera and lens, you're pretty much locked into that lens system if you don't want to shell out money again.
IMO the first lens you buy will make a much bigger impact on the tech-side quality of the images than the camera. So if you find the lens you think will suite your style, that might dictate the camera model.
(c) Other lens considerations:
You don't needed the fastest glass (1.4/1.8), which are more expensive, because most landscapes are shot at F/8+, and lenses are near their sweat spot there (a more expensive lens won't help there, which is great for the pocketbook). A sharp F4 lens should be plenty for what you're doing. Edit: A lot of the above posters are using zoom lenses that start at 5.6 and created great shots (not super expensive gear, but good photographers :) ).
Research the focal length (field of view / angle of perspective) you might prefer. Do you like really wide landscapes, or more zoomed in shots on certain features and details? IMO longer/telephoto lenses to compress landscape and pick out specific details are a little easier. But if you like really wide stuff, look into the distortion qualities of the lens--some ultra wide stuff gets really distorted (even if newer cameras have built in algos to correct for it).

I think this latest military action was more about Israel launching attacks with or without us. If we're not involved Israel would not have any restraints, with the US involved we can influence Israels actions.
You may be right but I think that's a weak excuse if true.

Agree, she uses her size very well and is well-trained given abilities on offense. Idk if she has the feet or skills for defense against fast teams, but a lot of girls don't so kind of depends on options out there.

It may not have been the only reason, but it was a big if not the biggest one. Many high up confederate officers wrote just that (in fancier, olden time language).
