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.

it would be glorious
- I'm sure I remember seeing NCD suggest this as the ultimate funny thing for China, a year ago. Glad to see Chinese social media likes our ideas.
- I hope it spreads to the point where tankies bend over backwards to defend this as not expansions at all, while somehow being on the side of both russia and China.
😕🫸Expansion?
😏👉Reclamation!
Calling it now: Russia has Siberia for 400 years and did dick with it. China can use Siberian resources better than Russia.
It will always be about exploitation.
and space. russia has struggled to build any population of note out east, whereas China has people ready to go and a few decades of belt-and-road construction as prep.
People,but not enough young women. China needs your women, Russia! Line up your nubile virgins to the left.

Considering point 2; Plesse keep it to a non credible niveau when posting in this community
I would just laugh.
Sure, it would be criminal and shit, but when has russia last cared about any of that UN funnyspeak?
Bon apetit, China.
I do feel for the Mongolians, though. They might be a casualty as the border expansion progresses.
Finally, tankies can be on the decolonization side again
They can (but they wont)
What I'd love to see is all the nations who've had territory seized by Russia over the last century or so take it back, all at once.
Japan, Finland, Georgia and whoever I've missed all say "OK, Now!", and China gets in on the action just for fun.
Russia would be so incredibly pissed off.
Yes, this would be the ideal - then Poland and Lithuania can share Kaliningrad.
A free Crimea... Transnistria free of putin's bullshit...
Vladivostok returned to Yongmingcheng ...
Yes, ma'am

Lol please do it, it'd be funny.
I mean, Russia is being worse to LGBT people compared to China's treatment of LGBT people, so I guess its a slight improvement?
But then, the firewall is much superior to russia's, so its gonna get harder to bypass censorship.
But good news, they gets free re-education to learn Social Harmony, and love peace, and love Xinnie the Pooh!
Also, no more pronoun issues. Pronouns are always 他/他 (pronounced tā), gendered pronouns are a thing of the past. (Chinese language does not really use gendered pronouns)
No idea why it boils down to treatment of LGBT, as if that is the only group that is consistently fucked with.
Welcome to Lemmy. We have only three topics - LGBT, Linux and USA politics ( lately rebranded to TrumpElon ).
You forgot vegan cats.
Don't forget Star Trek.
Kirk yes
God dammit, you got me.
And LOTR!
Indeed. "Women hold up half the sky", my left buttock. The current Chinese economy is built on the bones of millions of little girls. When they invade Russia client states, then start pressuring the borders of Russia itself, I have no idea who to favor. I'll just keep planting sunflowers.
A big portion of population might go the way of Uyghurs which is not great.
They might not use genered pronouns, but they do a lot of referring to people as uncle/auntie/big sister/little brother and the like.
Less pro, more noun. Gotcha.
(Chinese language does not really use gendered pronouns)
他(male) and 她(female), no?
And also 它 for animal/object
Or at least that's what i learn when i'm in school, not sure if anything change.
If you write 他 to refer to a woman on a test essay, you'd still get marked correct.
Writing 她 to refer to a man would be incorrect.
Basically
他 = He OR She
她 = She
它 = It (refer to objects and non-human animals)
他 is what gets used all the time to refer to both genders. 她 is rarely used, unless maybe in an English class to teach the difference between the English pronouns He and She.
Also, they are all pronounced the same: (tā)
You are correct. 他 for he, and 她 for she. However since they all sound the same, they're only distinguished in writing.
It's not that they sound the same; they are the same and are just written differently. It was all 他 until in the 20th (I think) century they created 她 and 它 and made 他 for males only to make the language more European.

I think that it is unlikely that China will do this.
I think that it is more-likely that Beijing will seek to dominate Russia, not to conquer it. China has a 2023 GDP of $17 trillion, Russia of $2 trillion. Russia has ensured that it has to rely on China for various things for at least some time. China doesn't need to invade to see increasing influence in Russia moving forward.
https://jamestown.org/program/russias-fiscal-dependence-on-china-grows/
- As Western sanctions increasingly isolate Russia, it has become highly dependent on China for trade and economic support, particularly in energy exports sold at discounted prices.
- China has capitalized on Russia’s isolation by expanding its investments and economic influence within Russia, with Chinese companies increasing their share of Russian market participation. This economic relationship shows an imbalance, with China benefiting from favorable trade terms.
- Western sanctions and the war in Ukraine have deeply impacted Russia’s economy, as seen in the weakening ruble, increasing reliance on China, and signs of Russia potentially becoming a subordinate economic partner to China rather than an equal.
That's maybe not as evocative as the image of Chinese tanks rumbling into Russia, but I think that it's probably a much more realistic geopolitical issue for Russia.
I agree with you. Military deployments are expensive. Why bother when you already control the trade relationship? China is in a position to get anything it wants from Russia. Hell, if they want territory they can probably get it the same way they do everywhere else - business deals.

Dang. I didn't have Russia nukes China on my 2025 disasters bingo card.
China might actually win this border war for once. One of Russia's only W streaks was the Sino-Soviet/Russian border wars.
yeah china didn't do too great against vietnam iirc.... but as we see with ukraine, by themselves the russians ain't even the strongest army in russia.
I'm not sure how I feel about this, because fuck Russia, but not fuck the Russians. Turnabout is always fair play, but where along Russia's borders would we want another front? I am not well enough versed in Asian geopolitics.
Yeah, fuck the Russian government for what they've done, but I still would have a very hard time supporting two giant forces built of working class no say people and slaughtered on both sides. The Chinese people don't deserve it, neither do the Russians. propaganda clearly works around the globe. We know Russians believe different propaganda than China, U.S., Germany, Hungary, Turkey, UK.. etc.
All of it is different. But supporting any government attacking another right now only kills the people, not those creating the propaganda and spreading it.
Korea and maybe very specific slivers of the Kazakh border are the only other places along the Russian border where there's really even any sizable population on either side. in all other places its just people fighting with the trees and general mud / general frost.
If you draw a line from the Caspian sea to Vladivostok, which would basically be the contact line between a Russo-Chinese conflict. the only places immediately in range a for either side that have a lot of people are parts of northeastern China, the city of Vladivostok the Korean Peninsula, and Uzbekistan. everywhere else both sides would logistically starve themselves. cause its just miles of nothing
Ok, it seems like the video talks about the dissolution of russia, not just weakened state. The video talks about the day US defeat russia and russia have to dissolve into multiple small countries. They afraid that once that happened, the newly formed independent state will be occupied by US(kinda like Afghanistan) and then china will lose their military strength. To prevent that, china need to annex(their word) it themselves. After that UN is not needed, and everything need to went through China.
So basically its some ultranationalist wet dream in video form.

If they rebuild the Trans-Siberian Railway to Belt and Road high-speed rail standards, once there is peace, that will be great for travel.
Moscoshwan city will never be the same!
I thought that was obviously the plan all along... Pour at least make Russia, China's Bitch.
If they wait 50 years they can annex it through a personal union, though it will lead to a temporary happiness drop with their other vassals
