NonCredibleDefense
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.

By the way, does anybody have a credible take on the current status/outlook of the war?
I hear nothing about the Kursk offense now, but mainstream news mention recent Russian successes in the East. I understand striking deep into Russia with US weapons would be critical, but I think that is unlikely to happen before the elections.
I am (again) worried for Ukraine, and to our Western politicians f*cking this up.
I love yall but yall gotta stop doing this in NCD. Is there a more credible community yall can have these discussions in? We're here for jokes and shitposting. Real, honest, fact-based discussions (especially involving politics) really don't belong here. [email protected] might be a better fit.
No answer received here should be trusted regardless how credible it sounds anyway, you may as well ask ChatGPT how the war is going, you'll get a similar level of trustability
To be fair that is also true of the other online communities that take themselves more seriously.
Good mod post
Yeah, nuke that serious post from orbit!
This was not the
I was hoping for
You can sign up for ISW’s newsletter, they do a good job of reporting what’s going on from a fairly dry, but western perspective. Last I saw they were reporting that Russia is aggressively counter attacking in Kursk to attempt to dislodge the Ukrainians before the fall mud sets in. It’s not looking great on the front but there are quite a few indications that the Russian attacks are not sustainable long-term. That said, I’ve seen reports saying that for a while now and the grinding attrition has continued.
People have been saying that basically from day one yet the Russians keep coming. Obviously this isn't sustainable long term but nobody knows how long they can keep going.
Incredible. 74 sources on their latest piece and almost all Telegram, and some Facebook.
Key takeaways (@[email protected]):
The Russians are throwing everything at the salient, it's brutal and costly and the Ukrainians probably won't be able to hold too long.
But it also did it's job: it was a target Russia HAD to take back, and it bought a few months for the American equipment to come online.
What is really needed is Russian territory authorization, and the election to be over so there's less doubt of continued supply, and new weapons packages can be drawn up.
I dont actually know how trustworthy this site is, but it is nice for getting a visual view of the front lines. https://liveuamap.com/
