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.

This war is going to go on until at at least till Putin dies won't it?

Russians really fucked themselves on this one. But it looks more and more like they are just willing to kill themselves and Ukraine to save face. It looks like the only hope for Ukraine is to attrition the Russian military while sanctions are ongoing that the Russians get so pissed off at their shitty lives that they do something. But the Russians aren't famous for doing anything about their shitty lives so I doubt that's going to happen soon.

Hopefully Ukraine can destroy enough AA to use these planes to get effect next year.

My question is who's going to remove those 600 million landmines or so that Russia is planted in Ukraine.

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

In all likelihood it's going to be the Ukrainians.

Hopefully fully funded by Russian reparations.

They have a plant that'll grow a different colour over a mine. Not saying it's viable, just saying it's cool.

Small children?

Well the Russians did try to improve their circumstances that one time. Did not work out for literally everyone around them though.

Because every f16 sent to Ukraine gets backfilled by an f35?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Are we going to be sending them pilots as well or do they just expect them to start the long training process to learn how to fly them and hope the pointless (but Russia's fault) war lasts long enough to use them?

[–] [email protected] 62 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Your answer is in the first paragraph of the source.

Expecting people to actually read an article ? What a weird idea

Well it is a shitposting sub so I think you get a pass on not doing the homework

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

Thank fuck. We were getting dangerously close to credibility.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The pilots will be Ukrainian from what I understand. But the planes are owned by the respective countries. The only reason for the sensationalist headline, beside clickbait, is because the F-16 is an American made fighter jet.

[–] bouh 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The fact the f16 is US made means a country cannot give it to another country without the US approval. It is the case for all armaments. The producing country must allow the transfer.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

This is true. But the headlines like to make it appear as though they are from US bases

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

As I understand it (but have no source) there are Ukraine pilots being trained on the F-16 stateside

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Don't worry, you got plenty of time to calm down. The pilot training hasn't even started yet.
