[pictured: Ronald Reagan wearing a black suit and tie with a white shirt. His body is nearly turned sideways, chin lifted and grinning at the camera, resting his weight on his right elbow with his left hand clasped loosely over his resting right wrist. Italicized text upon this propaganda poster reads: “RONALD REAGAN speaks out against SOCIALIZED MEDICINE”]

An unfertilized egg was forced into existence by an angry deity and now TikTok.
Nah he was in Palestine back when it was under a different foreign occupation.
You’ll find it was called Judea/Judah.
Fun Fact: Palestine is derived from Philisitine. Longest turf beef ever.
(Btw, one of Israel’s propaganda points is that Palestine has never been a sovereign state therefore they don’t deserve to be one now, I think this handily demonstrates one of the reasons why that’s a bunch of bullshit)
Hitler is to be blamed for a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot of gnarly shit, but I think there’s been fighting going over on in the Middle-East a bit before him.
An old lady refused to retire before she died so now cops can stop me if they suspect I’m pregnant.

I have to pass on this one. Trump has dabbled in wrestling but not as a moderator? Other shady wrestling personalities have dabbled in politics, but not with much effect?
Castillian second-row aristocracy ran out of land to conquer, wiped out half a double-continent.
This is about the conquistadores, the Spanish and Portuguese fighters who devastated South America. The “spanish” had spent centuries (re-)conquering the Iberian Peninsula. Aristocrats are warlords. If they don’t inherit wealth, they have to earn it through fighting in war.
Pirates sack ship with proposal about measurement units, spaceship crashes hundreds of years later.
At least 1 space probe has crashed because of failures to convert between metric and some regionally used unit. Metric was, as everyone knows, invented during and by the French Revolution.
I had to look up the pirate thing. Snopes rates it as false: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/metric-system-pirates/
Some Englishman invents a machine, climate dies.
James Watt, inventor of the steam engine. That, more or less, kicked off the age of fossil fuels.
Patent bureau clerk discovers science to overkill humanity, build cameras/solar cells and dictates speed of light as speed limit to everyone
Albert Einstein. He made physicists understand that there was a lot of boom in nuclear reactions with his famous E=mc^2. He also explained the photoelectric effect. But I think the speed limit thing is Emmy Noether, an absolutely badass woman.

Lenin. He was in exile in Switzerland. During WW1, when things were revolutionary but Russia was still fighting Germany, the german army let him travel through their territory in a sealed wagon to Russia, so that he would knock Russia out of the war.
A C-List actors career flopped, now I have to pay 30% of my check in taxes so the ultra wealthy can go tax free in the hopes that their prosperity with reflect positively on me, instead of just making them ritcher as they horde their wealth.

B-list actor refuses to take a car ride with US president.
Now the second best army in the world is on day 814 of a 3 day war. Putin has less tanks, jets and hair than when he started 3 years ago and they’ve achieve exactly 0 of their stated objectives.
Sorry I just woke up what was the initial even you’re referring to?
When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, the US offered to extract president Zelenskyy(actor turned president) and form a government in exile because everyone thought Ukraine would fall in mere weeks. Zelenskyy refused, stating he needed ammunition not a ride. Back then Russia was believed to have a near-peer military to the US.
And here we are now.
Oh shit of course of course - wow that seems like an extremely long time ago doesn’t it. Thanks for the explain 4 my sleepy brain x
