Of course. As would pretty much every American not named ZenMode. And lolololol at the idea that we would just sit back and sue for peace after a Mexican cruise missile takes out the Smith & Wesson factory in Maryville, Tennessee.

I agree it's unlikely the US wouldn't respond, but that's a separate question. If we didn't respond, as Venezuela is likely to do, I doubt anyone would consider the US and Venezuela to be at war.

When the US droned Ayman al-Zawahiri , I don't recall anyone saying "we're at war with Iran".

According to Gemini, you are correct:

A small percentage is a proportion of a whole that is significantly less than the whole, often considered to be below 10% or even lower depending on the context

What is considered a huge percentage depends heavily on context, but it generally refers to a portion much larger than expected. While a simple majority is over 50%, "huge" or "vast majority" is typically a higher, more convincing number, often 75% or more.

So, whatever is a little more than small would be accurate.

Trolling aside, are you really this unaware?

“…
While scanning for unsecured databases at the end of September, an ethical security researcher stumbled upon the exposed cache of data and discovered that it was part of a site called DomeWatch. The service is run by the House Democrats and includes videostreams of House floor sessions, calendars of congressional events, and updates on House votes. It also includes a job board and résumé bank.

After the researcher attempted to notify the House of Representatives’ Office of the Chief Administrator on September 30, the database was secured within hours, and the researcher received a response that simply said, “Thanks for flagging.” It is unclear how long the data was exposed or if anyone else accessed the information while it was unsecured.…”

“… The six leading states for corn production — Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana and Kansas — had the same cancer frequency as the rest of the nation for young adults and the overall population when state-level tracking began in 1999.

In the 2000s they began to diverge, and since 2015 the states have had a significantly higher cancer rate among those ages 15 to 49. In the latest data from 2022, those states have a rate 5 percent higher for young adults and 5 percent higher for the overall population.

… Young adults in those states have significantly higher rates of several cancers, the Post analysis found, especially kidney and skin cancers. The skin cancer risk for young adults in the corn-producing states is 35 percent higher for men and 66 percent higher for women than their peers in other states.…”

“… Researchers are still working to disentangle national trends from regional anomalies, and the data doesn’t yet offer a satisfying explanation for why cancer rates among the young have shot up here. The increase in cancer diagnoses among young adults may reflect broader changes: better detection, shifting environmental factors or even evolving lifestyle patterns.

But the fact that some areas seem to carry a heavier burden suggests that something more specific, if still unidentified, may be at play. In this vacuum, both patients and scientists have grappled with incomplete information.…”

“… In the geography of American health, early-onset cancer paints a stark and uneven map — one that potentially reveals how environment, policy and access to medical expertise and resources influence health.

Across the Appalachian corridor, states like West Virginia and Tennessee bear a disproportionate burden — with high rates of both diagnosis and mortality. In contrast, the West Coast and Mountain West have low rates of incidence and death.

Then there is Iowa, where young adults are being diagnosed with cancer at high rates yet dying at a rate typical for the country.…”
