It's to prevent retaliation, I assume. Either picked up from police in Latin America fighting cartels... or Imperial Storm Troopers from Star Wars. Who could know?
Strictly speaking while you can prove things in mathematics, in science you can only disprove things. A theory which survives for a long time after a large number of experiments is widely accepted and can be trusted, but it is not proven.
In 2012, Australian psychologist Gina Perry investigated Milgram's data and writings and concluded that Milgram had manipulated the results, and that there was a "troubling mismatch between (published) descriptions of the experiment and evidence of what actually transpired." She wrote that "only half of the people who undertook the experiment fully believed it was real and of those, 66% disobeyed the experimenter".[26][27] She described her findings as "an unexpected outcome" that "leaves social psychology in a difficult situation."[28]
Nobody in the rest of the world who cared about the lives of the average American was that envious. Between housing costs, medical costs, and food costs life seemed really tough, compared to pre-COVID times. From the EU, it looked like all of the indicators for the wealthy were fine, but not for the people.
Yes I think that it will be with Iran this time too. I mean, nobody can know with Trump since he's an avatar of Chaos, but it is a good option. Big and powerful enough that you don't accidentally win in 48 hours. Not an ally of any western country. Already have propaganda queued up since 1979 or so.
I'm pretty sure Trump will start a war before the elections, both to boost his ratings and to justify extraordinary powers because of the emergency that he will have just created.
Broccoli and cauliflower (and more), "are all actually varieties of the same species, Brassica oleracea: cauliflower, cabbage, kohlrabi, Brussels sprouts, Chinese broccoli, and collard greens."
Reality is stranger than fiction:
