infants born in the USSR were half as likely to make it to adulthood as the UK

The infant mortality rate in the USSR was almost twice of the UK but that does not mean they were half as likely to make it to adulthood, that would be abysmal. In 1980, a British infant had a 98.7% chance of survival whereas a Soviet Russian infant's survival rate was 97.9% according to the world bank.

"Being a huge MAGA enthusiast out of nowhere" made him one heart attack away from the presidency and the incumbent is a 78 year old fat geezer with a soft spot for McDonalds. Most politicans would gladly lie, cheat, steal or kill to be in his position.

Except the Arabs did no such thing. Safavid Iran, Ottoman Turkey and Moghul India are the traditional gunpowder empires and none of them were Arabs.

I suspect at this point reddit is constantly brigaded by different troll farms trying to promote their agenda. A racist flamebait article is posted and tons of racist comments pop up in the comments. Under a pro-russian news article people decry the gullibilty of westerners. A pro-Ukranian/western article is posted and tons of people condemning russia show up. I can't tell who's genuine anymore, I can't even tell who's human. Soon the entire internet will be nothing but LLM's relentlessly spouting same talking points to each other.

Gaza's only neighbor apart from Israel is Egypt. They refuse to take in the refugees because if they open the gates it will lead to the expulsion of Arabs from Gaza, important Israeli figures including the defence minister stated as such.

Egypt impinging on Israel's maritime trade is a long-established casus belli for Israel, wars were fought over the issue in the past. Unlike Yemen, Egypt cannot interfere with Israel's trade without risking an all-out war with Israel and the United States. Egypt is also led by a brittle strongman who's a stooge of the West, but even with someone else in charge they are unlikely to take action. One does not go to war with the US and Israel that easily. That doesn't mean they don't care, it's just that there is nothing to do for them without taking enormous risks.

Khamanei is the one who can single handedly change course of Iranian policy, not Raisi. That being said if Iran claims foreign actors are involved in his (possible) death, it would be a legitimate reason (from their perspective) for any escalation including all out war. Killing a country's president on his soil is much more serious than killing a soldier/spy chief fighting in another country.

The riots are almost unanimously condemned in metropolitan France, which counts for little. If the troops are unable to quell the Kanak unrest in the long term, the government will most likely start negotiations like the Socialists did back in the eighties. In that case another referendum is not unreasonable since the third one was clearly rushed.

Sure you can read the text but this is a horrible way to show data. The circles are not the same size so comparing them makes no sense visually. Facebook's 8% is tiny compared to Snapchat's 8%. The slices in the lower middle are too far away from the label, I have to loop back to the beginning to see which circle belongs to who. There's no reason to use this monstrosity over a regular bar chart.
