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.

So these hypothetical guys fighting in the korean war, which took place in the 1950s, haven't heard of nuclear weapons, when two were used in 1945? I think you actually did hit your head pretty hard.

They were known as atomic weapons and the ⚛️ orbital electrons model was the commonly understood paradigm for atomic structure.

sure they heared but not in the context of north korea having them

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

True, but if you use your imagination lol, you could take it as "who is that random guy that has a nuke? Only the USA has nukes bro."

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

There were nuclear weapons but no intercontinental ballistic rockets that could carry them. Fat Man and Little Boy were dropped from airplanes.

Most peope thought of it as the atom bomb as per the (fictional, cartoonish) very atomic! bomb in The 50 Fingers of Dr. Terwilliger in 1953.

The Korean War ended in 1953.

The nuclear age began with the Castle Bravo detonation in 1954, the extent of which would be classified for a while since it was far bigger than they estimated and ended up having to relocate some aboriginal islanders.

That said China was willing to throw tens of thousands of troopers to push the UN forces south. McArthur was even considering using atomic weapons to disrupt supply. In 1951 controlled territories stabilized at what would become the DMZ.

Yalu river? Never heard of it.

Frankly i would kind of wake up relieved that this is not the future i'm fighting for.

I totally understand you, Private. I recently dreamed of a nuclear bomb ending a world war, then everything using nuclear power and then a new war starting because of scarcity. That dream was weird but the floating ball shaped robots and the nuclear powered armor looked cool.

I read that in Ralof's voice
