A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo 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.

Watching that balloon deflate like a wet fart rather than pop was a huge disappointment

I think it's the perfect ending; we had a halfassed coup that:

  • saw an actual Russian city taken by a rebel military force
  • saw those rebels drive towards Moscow with the stated intention of arresting the heads of the MoD
  • cost Russia more aircraft in two days than Ukraine has destroyed in at least a month
  • prompted a very public response , including
    • fucking roadblocks and troops deployed in Moscow
    • Putin himself directly acknowledging it and calling it treason
    • an official criminal investigation
  • ended with Lukashenko brokering an agreement to get Putin to let Pierogi (and the guys who were doing that treasony shit with him) go.

And all in just 3 days. For the entertainment value alone it's been entirely worth it, and I think there's more than a few Russians who are less confident in their leader than a week ago. Coup attempts happen, but letting Pringlekan go is weak af, even if your plan is to murder him later. You gotta curbstop this kind of shit right away, and Russia was very obviously unable to do that.

If they thought the 90s were bad, wait till they see the 20s.
