My (admittedly very armchair, probably learned from other comments on this site) understanding of the Merkava not having infantry support is due to how its Trophy countermeasure system uses shotgun-like blasts to counter missiles. They would shred any infantry standing around the tank.
The system utilizes small EFPs which are projected towards the incoming threat, energy, debris and explosive pressure waves disintegrate the incoming projectile. As such, the system has a risk to dismounted infantry, and this system impact traditional infantry supported mechanized warfare tactics.
This is also why resistance fighters will fire 2 missiles in quick succession; the first one to activate the Trophy, and then second to actually hit the tank once the Trophy is spent. Or yeah they just run up to it with the
I’m no tactical genius, but it sure seems like the incapability to have infantry support is not worth the tradeoff of having a countermeasure that is so easily worked around
Yeah, it was such an odd film. I really wanted to like it because it looked good and it explicitly called out the West as the unmistakable bad guys, but there was just so much that needed to be completely rewritten to work.
I’ll add to your list of bad,
about the main character
Pretty much the entire plot is set into motion thanks to the protagonist being a traitor to the robots, his partner (who is having his baby!), and the village that sheltered him. And he’s still a piece of shit for pretty much the entire movie, until the very end.
I was also very bothered by how the primary motive for the protagonist was getting back Maya: the woman he lied to, betrayed, and directly caused the death of. Yet, it very much seemed to be written in a way that was intended for the audience to sympathize with???
Oh yeah, after all that, for his self-sacrifice at the very end, he gets a robot copy of Maya as his “reward.” Ugh.

I’m still “nothing will happen” gang, but it would be fucking hilarious if the thing that ends up torpedoing the DNC’s credibility (I mean among normies/mainstream) was them blatantly fixing their primary again, but this time to block their own sitting president (who was previously pushed through to block Bernie) from the nomination because his brain has melted so much that capital can’t ignore it.
With Bernie, they were able to put the fix in before the primary elections, so it at least had some facade of “democracy” that gave liberals plausible deniability or whatever. But the votes are in for Biden, so the only way to have an alternate candidate is 1) Hillary pushes Biden down the stairs or 2) they just straight up decide to throw away their own primary results at the convention. At least we can all draw pleasure from the hilariously impossible situation they very predictably put themselves in.
This tracks, there’s actually some evidence that drivers behave more dangerously around cyclists wearing helmets.
Scientists should study carbrains more, and try to understand why cyclists trying to protect themselves seems to attract drivers like moths to a flame.
