@schratze there are Little Ravens on King Island, which is part of the state of Tasmania, so it could be that. Maybe we get stragglers too, I don't know.

Yeah, mostly ravens are just the bigger species, but even that isn't consistent. For the Australian species it seems to be more about whether they have hackles (ravens) or not (crows).

@schratze here in Tasmania, it's always a raven (or sometimes a currawong, but those have some white on the tail). There are no crows here, the only corvid species is the forest raven.

While I broadly agree, I think you're making this sound way more like Trump (or the US) acting on his own than it really is. This attack was led by Netanyahu. I've heard a rumour that he threatened to use nukes if the US didn't back him up. Take that with a hefty grain of salt, but if it's true I don't think a more conventional US president would have acted any differently. It would also explain why the UK, France, and Germany have been so quick to condemn Iran's retaliation and so silent on the initial attack.

Now, it's entirely possible that conventional US diplomacy would have defused the situation before getting to this point, but I wouldn't bet on it. As dangerous as Trump's whims are, there's a lot more at play here. The fascism is transnational.
