I think killing the power gives them a security argument for military intervention. The flimsiest pretense of an argument, but if that's what they want to do, then that will be enough.

yes, yes. not necessary to make such displays.
If I have to put up with one more American desperate to be told, "You're one of the good ones!" I don't know what I am going to do.
Some things, people cannot change, except by getting worse. Someone who is suffering from dementia, certain personality disorders, etc., may learn techniques to cope and even thrive, but there's nothing that can restore lost brain function, or undo childhood developmental issues that fundamentally affect the brain.
I like it a bit wilder.
As herd animals, cows are at least as socially sophisticated as we are, arguably more in some ways. They are capable of receiving trauma the same as we are. I don't have evidence that cows suffer sexual trauma in "rape racks" (as the industry shockingly calls them), but there is ample and undeniable evidence that when their calves are taken, they understand exactly what they have lost. Farmers report that the mothers spend weeks or even months in distress, bellowing and crying actual tears like any human mother would. They deliver a single calf after nine months, and they have the same bond that we do.
People need to know this, they need to understand this. They need to comprehend the choices that they are making, though the true consequences of their choices are intentionally hidden from them. When I finally understood what I had been doing, I was filled with such horror, sorrow, and regret, it was unbearable. I can never take back what I have done, and I wish I had anyone who could have helped me see it sooner.
