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 USA can’t even win rigged war games against Iran, if they’re not stupid they won’t attack them.
A war with Iran, particularly when the US seems intent on stirring the pot with half a dozen other nations globally, would be an absolute clusterfuck for everyone in the region. But the folks who would pay the highest price would always and forever be the Iranians themselves. I would argue that the biggest deterrent in this would be the Saudis, as they host a bunch of our military bases and are extraordinarily vulnerable to retaliation from a nation they desperately need as an ally to stabilize global oil prices.
