A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

Whyd they even need the US' blessing? Normally the country that manufactured the arms has a veto but in this case that was Russia. So who cares?
Of course Russia would have vetoed these jets being used against them so it sounds like this 'rule ' doesn't always apply either.
But well done to the polish. Of course they know what it's like to be first on the chopping block, sadly.
Same reason even major powers like Germany coordinate with the US when it comes to giving Ukraine weapons: the US is the only country in the world at the moment that is completely invincible, so having it share the responsibility is a good idea
US invincibility was proved when they won the Vietnam War.
Defending and attacking are two different things. I meant the US cannot be defeated by an attacker.
then Russia makes a better example of a invincible empire.
Sweden, France, Germany have all tried at their peak strength to conquer Russia and failed.
USA with its geographical isolation has been lucky in that regard.
Maybe in Tsarist and Soviet times. Today, not so much.
Yah a fully expendable population makes for unlimited cannon fodder :(
Edit: Not saying Russians are expendable. Just saying that their previous dictatorships (and arguably the current!) considers them as such. I have nothing against Russians but I do against their governments.
It's mad to think this country has only had a democracy for a year or so in the 90s. Which began with the fall of the USSR and ended with Yeltsin's coup.
Russians aren't more expendable than any other human being. They're just being treated as such by their fascist regime. I know it's easy to start thinking badly of all of them because of the idiotic war, but they're human beings too. The ones outside of the kremlin at least.
Sorry, I didn't mean Russians are expendable of course! (Hence the sad smiley). In fact I was lamenting the way the Soviet and Tsarist governments treated their population. Sorry if this wasn't clear.
And I'm sure 90% of Russian soldiers are not happy to fight this war either. I'm sure they'd prefer being home with wife & kids rather than dodging bullets.
do you have an example of Russian federation being defeated in an attack?
do you have an example of the russian federation getting attacked by a near-peer adversary without the now defunct soviet union defending it?
Уйди, московский тролль.
yeah I had to use Google translate.
still no examples
