It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I don't understand why they don't target the evac helicopters tbh. It seems advantageous if enemy infantry is scared to significantly advance forward for fear that they might not be rescued when they need it. I'm sure the resistance have a good reason not to shoot down the rescues, but guessing what it is is beyond my (admittedly steeped in and informed by american brutality) grasp of strategy.
Edit I just remembered that they are pursuing a strategy of guerrilla resistance where actually you want the enemy to advance
Wounded soldiers are more of a detriment to a military (any equipment and personnel needed to get them out plus a hospital bed, doctors, and medical equipment, possibly for months, once they reach a hospital, all for someone who odds are won't ever be combat fit again) than dead ones are.
In part, if the Resistance shoots down ONE evac copter, western media will made it major headline news and the narrative will be how the Resistance isn’t fighting by Queensbury Rules and so that’s why Israel’s genocide is justified. Meanwhile Israel can blow up 100 ambulances in Gaza and hardly a peep in western news.
