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

Odd that Isn'trael asked for F-35s. Hamas has no AA to speak of so a non-stealthy and cheaper bomb mule makes more sense for fighting in Gaza. Acquiring more stealthy planes implies that they're worried about opponents with actual air defences.

In that region, Egypt, Iran, and Syria operate Russian S300 AA missiles that can seriously threaten any non-stealthy plane. Kind of a sign that Isn'trael is gearing up to hit one of them.

Israel has been hitting Syria non-stop for the past decade freely

True, I wonder if this is the IOF gearing up against Egypt and Iran then.
