I can think of a few.
It's also on the wrong side of mostly if not all left leaning democracies. It prefers dictators over center democracies, and will send CIA dogs after any country that starts drifting left.
Or just train their fascists opponents at the School of the Americas. Then kablammo, we help overthrow a democracy AND create an enemy justifying more military action in the region.
Well, in fairness, kind of.

If I'm remembering correctly vision is movement based, but animals have lots of ways to deal with it. Humans and other species that can move their eyeballs just like vibrate their eyes. But birds like chickens rely more on head bob I think. Couldn't tell you what kind of muscles a tyranasaur has in its eyes.
Also being wrong on the Internet is the best way to find the right answer. So tell me how I'm wrong.
I could be wrong, and if I am, it's just an opportunity to learn a new thing. I put what I've read elsewhere in the thread.
Have a great day.
A bit curious here. How they did prove at first that T-Rex' vision was based in movement and then how they did prove that doesn't?
Not sure it's provable, really, but the idea for T-Rex having movement-based vision is (if I'm remembering correctly, forgive me as it's been a while) something that came from the Jurassic Park story, and more specifically how frog vision works, since they used frog DNA to birth their dinosaurs.
