This sounds like a classic 80/20 rule (change the numbers to your liking). This applies to many things. Notable examples are the majority of misinformation on social media coming from a few people and a relatively small number of words getting you most of the way there when learning a language
It's like the universe is sneakily efficient in some areas, if we're willing to look for the leverage points
It's just a hit piece playing with statistics.
How convenient that the key culprits are Russia (and the scary Soviet Union) and China.
Especially when Trump wants to take on China while handing off The Ukraine to Europe.
The list would most likely look very similar if you did top 20, 30, 40, or whatever cutoff you want. China is especially bad with many videos easily available on youtube of them just dumping entire stages on random villages in their own country.

Uh, it’s widely known that the Soviets before and Chinese now abandon rocket bodies in orbit.
Maybe so. I'm just fascinated by the convenient propaganda of the West. And I point it out to observe the reaction online. It's consistent across Reddit, Slashdot and here: US good, RoW bad.
There's only a few major space players. The US is bound to be well ahead in several ways and well behind in several other ways. The level of "convenience" here is like rolling a particular number on a 6 sided die. It would be weird if it didn't happen often.
whoa, your comment got whiter than germany in forties, how did you do it
