Waking up today to hear there was a coup attempt in South Korea that was just six hours long was wild. Can't wait for the k-dramas to cover a slightly fictional version of it in a year or two. Hopefully starring Ji Chang-wook as the main character.

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.

I see a static image seems I'm losing some higlights from the SK coup attempt?
Just a dude getting rotated
He might be a table, cuz he got turned.
Like an idiot
"Man, you didn't have to do me dirty like that" *tries to bully the closest citizen
Not only he got rotated, but it was caught in 4K
He even raised his arms up knowing he was going to get his ass kicked.
Including him realizing he got rotated in 4k!
Canada should have this, otherwise the Bears will overtake us by the next harvest
Can I get a read on whether this is Ki Aikido?
I guess in Korea hapkido is more popular, which shares its origins with aikido. I have never seen ki-aikido performed live but I would have sworn shoving the uke at the end was out of the question.
Get rotate,potate
Hey, if you have a shit connection, you can watch that frame by frame and really savor it! For once, peasant life works in my favor. 🎶Hay rakes UP and they stay UP 🎶
I mean props to him seemed like he was “wow yeah, fair enough”. In “other” countries that protester would have been beaten into a coma.
Ya, my first thought seeing that was if it was the US they might have gotten shot doing that. Both sides handled that well.
I don’t understand why they tried to grab the phone in the first place?
Probably so they could snap a selfie together
i mean military just showed up, did absolute minimum just so that they can't be prosecuted for refusing orders, and when parliament voted martial law away some of them left (before being ordered so) then the rest left anyway. they knew what was going on and didn't want part in this
I mean, conscription sucks etc etc, but this is why you want it. You *try* to make it so that the average citizen is represented throughout the military so that it's not just one group of gung ho violent dickheads that self select for abuse of power.
Also, it means the guy in the crowd can also put up against that kind of bullshit as a civillian.
Conscription is slavery.
What you want is to revitalize the concept of the citizen-soldier.
The problem with that as applied to a modern society instead of like, ancient Mediterranean cultures is that we just don't need that many soldiers anymore.
Yet...
Conscription is slavery.
Hardly. They're paid. There are exemptions for medical conditions and other things (I think medical students get exempted, and some choose to serve with the police, instead.) It's not a perfect system by any stretch, but it's not slavery.
That said, I'm against it overall. There are more and more rich kids "mysteriously" getting exempted. You're expected to join by the age of 22, which interrupts university for many. And, it promotes a huge boy's club where they learn to smoke and drink and preserve the patriarchy. It's created a large gender divide where many young men are upset women are finally starting to get something closer to equal treatment (still not equal by any means) in the workplace here, but men are still expected to serve their time while women finish their higher educations and get a head start in the workplace. Honestly, if they're going to have mandatory military service, they should just make it mandatory for women, too.
we just don't need that many soldiers anymore.
I know we're being noncredible but damn
The classical republics expected literally every male citizen to train regularly and purchase at least some of their own arms and equipment as part of it, with wealthier citizens supplying more expensive material for everyone, aka, the well regulated militia.
Non-crediblenessousity aside I don't think America needs 175 million soldiers.
You can argue that "citizens" wasn't as inclusive then as we expect it to mean now but that's still a hell of people unless a cool war starts again.
Not America, no. But I see the benefit of conscription with turds like North Korea on your border.
America needs 175 million soldiers
I came violently upon seeing these words and wasn't able to read the surrounding text.
political power grows out of barrel of a gun like they say few borders north. it does make sense to make everyone participate, but it's always a tradeoff
It's the "i'm not paid enough to cause a civil war" expression. Dude just put his hands up like a roller coaster about to take a plunge, he know who his real enemy are but still have to make it look tough.
Yeah feels that way. The hand up feels more like he’s with a sparring partner than “enemy of the state”. He’s got a rifle slung and doesn’t feel like he even thinks the protester will go for it. Pretty level headed by all involved including the guy conducting the ol’ spineroo.
Serious props to that dudes form. Clean grab, followed up by a good secure with the freed second hand, just enough force behind the spin and push to send the message without making himself a direct threat.
That's solid form, all around.
Don't forget holding his phone in the other hand the whole time
try to grab phone
get samsung-ed
I need to go outside... I read that as "get ratio'd."
I can almost hear him say “bitchass” as he shoves him
"아니요"
알았어 이해했어
한 장 할까?
Lmao. “Understandable, have a nice day sir”.
