From all accounts that I have seen, Cohen has continued to be measured and calm throughout the cross-examination so far. However, Blanche suggested at the end of the day that he had at least another full day of cross, so we'll see if he starts to get rattled. So far the cross seems to be very rambli...

An even better comparison is the Yemeni "civil war." These are the casualty figures I was able to pull off Wikipedia, which are far from complete (as they only are up to 2020-21) but show a pretty compelling picture: 377,000+ people killed overall (150,000+ from violence) (2014–2021) (UN)[...
