60% of the US population is like 200 million. 1% of the global population is 80 million. Your maths is way off.

I'd assume something closer to 6% of the US are in the top 1%.

Poor 12th billion mother-to-be. She'll push and push but the baby just won't come out 😔

That's... precisely why the original quote said "democracy is the worst form of government". It has fundamental flaws. But it's still the better than everything else.

In roundabouts you only need to look in one direction of incoming cars. In a regular 4-way intersection you have to look in three directions. Your comment makes no sense to me.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I don't think they "just moved in". They've lived there for a long time as well, but the former country of Palestine was quite divided ethnically, and that caused issues due to extremists (on both sides).

The purpose of splitting Palestine was to get two countries that were at least less divided ethnically, but due to where people lived Israel still remained quite evenly divided between muslims and jews whereas the new Palestine was close to 100% muslims.

Countries have been split all over the world before in somewhat similar manners without causing as big conflicts, showing that this could've been done in a peaceful manner. What went wrong here? I don't know.

Chaotic neutral, then in the fridge. Quick and easy, stays fresh.

He supplied them? As far as I'm concerned, SpaceX is a huge company and Musk is only a small part of it. Even without him as CEO it's very likely Starlink would have been provided to Ukraine. The same can not be said about blocking Starlink, that came personally from the rat.

Russia didn't catch any? 40 were slaughtered in Norway after they returned so they couldn't go back to russia.

They were on the winning side, so they did win the whole war. But as I said, they didn't do it alone nor would they ever have been able to win without all the help they received from everyone else fighting the Nazis at the same time. I don't think current events should be a reason to see history differently. The Soviets were a powerful war machine during WWII and their contribution played a huge role in the outcome of that war.
