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

The page also says Iranian attack failed because the damage wasn't significant. Like, they were talking on CNN about Iran warning everyone beforehand and not sending everything at once to limit damage.

"Anxiety" == "our 20 year old diaper lieutenants all have ptsd from their first combat experience" idf-destroyer

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 43 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Excuse me! That 20 year old is a colonel and you will address him as such, soiled pants or no!

I mean fair enough, I'd probably be a bit of an anxious wreck if I lived in israel, poor petals, blooming all alone in that desert, damn, must be tough.

also lol, some IDF wanker talking about how but one little girl was hurt, and if you read into it, they were targeting... oh right, military infrastructure! wow!!

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

Wasn't that one little girl a Jordanian who wouldn't even have been hurt if her traitorous government hadn't decided to help the Zionist entity intercept the attack?

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago

One a tragedy, a million a statistic, etc etc.

Zionists are using little girls as human shields. Really fucked up of them to put their military installations so close to civilians.

Anybody else remember the beginning of the SMO in Ukraine where the USA talking heads were like, "Russia hasn't blasted every city off the map and caused untold civilian causalities in the first weeks of the war... so Russia is gong to lose any minute now..."?

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Libs got REALLY mad when you contrasted how Russia was conducting itself in the invasion to how Israel is.

[–] SSJ2Marx@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

Oh man, compare Bakhmut (a battle with tens of thousands of soldiers fought over ten months) to Fallujah (a battle with thousands of soldiers fought over six weeks) - 200 civilians versus 800. Obviously there's no good amount of collateral damage but the way America and its proxies conduct their wars is clearly more destructive than the norm for the rest of the world.

Liberals were insisting that the Wagner Group was doing a straight up Nazi Cosplay as they Blitzkregged towards Poland. But then also Ukraine's Ghost of Kiev had single-handedly shot down half the Russian air force.

Azov were freedom fighters rescuing all the beautiful blonde-haired blue eyed babies. Russia was in the midst of a pogrom against the Uber-volk. Half the Russian population had just been killed in an ill-conceived human wave attack against stout Ukrainian defenses. Then we got an earful about how the Spring Offensive would end in Moscow.

I think the craziest part of the war was when Prigozhin tried his coup and the Ukrainian front lines did not move. Like, if there was ever a fucking moment for western forces to reclaim territory, it was when Moscow was being evaluated and half of Wagner Group was racing towards the capital. But they just sat on their thumbs in confused shock, waiting for the next shoe to drop. This was the full extent of what Germany, France, the UK, and the US could bring to bare against Russia. Stunned silence as half of Putin's active duty military turn coat.

What a fucking clown parade.

Jordan reported some shrapnel falling on its territory, causing no significant damage or injuries.[42][43] In Israel, one child, a 7-year old Israeli Bedouin girl, was struck and injured by part of a missile.[27] Thirty-one other people suffered either minor injuries while rushing to protected areas or were treated for anxiety.[28] The next day, Iran's envoy to the United Nations said that the attacks "can be deemed concluded".[53]

so 1 person stubbed their toe on their way to hide, and 30 just needed a hug?

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 26 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but they are Israelis, that mean tye IDF is allowed to kill at least 100 Palestine children and other 3000 Palestine civilians. That's just the IDF maths.

[–] D61@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

So the vast majority of Iran's bombardment were intercepted or hit their non civilian targets...

Better than bombing a hospital and retroactively claiming it was a military stronghold...

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah this sounds like Iran was just sending them a warning.

Unfortunately you know how the west deals with that kind of thing "YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!"

You know, this makes me think, would they have told us if one of those hypersonic missiles hit a parked F-35? They claim that the damage to the air bases that were hit was "minimal" but I'm not so sure I believe that.

[–] zifnab25@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

would they have told us if one of those hypersonic missiles hit a parked F-35?

NPR lead in with the story by claiming "Iran's bombs killed a 7-year-old child". Not so much as a whisper of where they actually landed, before the announcer proudly declared 98% of the rockets were deflected by air defenses thanks to Rishi Sunak's UK Air Force.

These news stories are migrating from "puzzle pieces I have to assemble into something resembling the truth" to "pure shadows-on-the-wall manufactured gibberish". Just like with the air base bombing in Jordan, I'm at an absolute loss as to what's actually happening. Its just headline gore and a drum beat to war that's practically deafening.
