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.

Imagine not leaking your confidential information to War of Thunder.

THIS COMMENT WAS SPONSORED BY WAR OF THUNDER

[–] SpruceBringsteen 48 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Hey, it's almost been a month since the last leak on their forums.

I think War Thunder players have leaked info like 14 times now lol

If governments really did have crashed alien ships they've been reverse engineering since the 50's as some conspiracy and UFO believers theorize, we would have had proof of it posted to the War Thunder forums by now.

Frømandskorpset sounds Danish. Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. Are you aware of the Greenland news this week?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

TIL Denmark claims Greenland. I wouldn't F with the Danes.

[–] Neon 30 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

claims

Greenland is a sovereign country in the kingdom of denmark, nothing that needs to be claimed.

The same way denmark is a sovereign country in the kingdom of denmark

Denmark (country) ≠ Denmark (Kingdom)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Are you saying that the Danes have nothing to do with the kingdom of Denmark?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Does the UK "claim" Canada because of their relationship to the crown?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

The UK did claim Canada, along with most of North America, in the Royal Proclamation of 1763. Canada was granted progressively more autonomy over time but the UK still maintained ultimate sovereignty until the Canadian constitution was patriated. The UK effectively ceded its sovereignty over Canada when UK parliament passed the Canada Act 1982.

Denmark granted Greenland autonomy with the 2009 Act on Greenland Self-Government, but Denmark still maintains the authority to modify Greenland's constitutional arrangement. So, much like the UK still held sovereignty over Canada prior to 1982, Denmark still holds sovereignty over Greenland. Apparently there have been some efforts to draft a constitution for Greenland, but that has not been passed into law by Greenland's lawmakers nor has it been patriated by Denmark.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago

This makes sense. I completely understand this thank you.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ooohhh.

I did not realize until this moment that I didn’t understand their relationship correctly.

[–] AlpacaChariot 8 points 2 weeks ago

It's not the same as the UK-Canada relationship either though, because the UK isn't responsible for Canada's defence and foreign policy.

[–] Silic0n_Alph4 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, but mostly because it’s a rock in the middle of the ocean, albeit a really big one.

Don’t touch our rock collection.

[–] Neon 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They do stand in a relation to each other, but they're not the same thing.

As I said, Denmark (country) is in the kingdom of denmark, so they have something to do with each ither.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Oh so this is more of a pedantic thing than an actual reasonable difference gotcha.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

I don't think it is for the people on the inside.

It's comparable to saying: no, Scotland is not in England, Scotland is in the UK and England is in the UK.

[–] Neon 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No, tht's not it either.

Think of the kingdom of denmark as kind of a Mini-EU consisting of Denmark, the Faroe Islands and Greenland.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

So if Trump tries to annex it Danish people won't come to try to protect it. Making the image not accurate?

[–] Neon 3 points 2 weeks ago

Not really either. While greenland and the others are highly autonomous and practically their own countries, national security is not in their competence but instead the job of the kingdom. Not like NATO where every country has their own military and has to help each other but as a federation where there is only one military.

Niels Anderson does a way better Job than me explaining it:

Yeah, they'll go all Danelaw across the eastern half of your country.

[–] BatrickPateman 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, saw the headline about what the clown said. But what does that have to do with any seals that write books? That's what I am lost about.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

In the American special forces branch of the Navy, you receive extra Sausages, Eggs And Lard (S.E.A.L) in your rations, so these people are called "Seals".

Obviously, after a few years of eating so much extra greasy food, they're no longer capable of participating in military operations, so tend to retire and write books about what they did at work.

I think that's correct anyway - don't quote me on it.

Slight reflection off of the rim of the front facing holes on the helmets.....I think

[–] Adm_Drummer 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

They could actually be Cat-eye friend or foe markers . They're luminescent strips usually put on the back of the head or shoulders that reflect just enough light to see someone is ahead of you in dark spaces.

Most military helmets or hats have them. At least the ones I know of.

[–] RizzRustbolt 21 points 2 weeks ago

To scare nosy teenagers and their dogs away from their swamp scams.

NATO bio labs

[–] T00l_shed 8 points 2 weeks ago

I'm going to say they are wearing Ironman helmets.

[–] Soleos 7 points 2 weeks ago

Zoomed in it appears to actually be reflection off the edge of the front mounting holes in their helmets.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

They're hodling and they want everyone to know it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

People on Greenland eat seals for breakfast.
