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.

did no such thing. Word "Armenia" means a specific thing. "Armenians" mean another thing.

Again, a pedantic dispute. Armenia means different things under different context, and to different people. You are just trying to force a specific interpretation based on international law, one that has no real power nor influence over the specific topic.

But if a town populated by only Armenians living in, say, France was attacked by, say, German forces, you wouldn't say that Germany attacked Armenia. Germany attacked France, because it's about the country.

In this wild hypothetical, would this Armenian town in France have French citizenship? If so then no, they would be attacking the French. However if these people were only Armenian citizens who were being harbored in France, then yes.

Speaking of ships, according to the maritime law, vessels flying a country's flag are considered an extension of that country's territory.

That is also a legal fiction utilized to pervade complications with international laws. Though its recognized by international law, it offers no real protections extended to non citizens under the flag. This is why you still hear of American ships flying under the flag of the Cayman Islands ect

But if what Armenians did in 1993 (capturing seven Azerbaijani-majority districts outside the enclave itself) is justified and OK, then what Russia is doing now in Ukraine is also justified and OK.

You mean when they migrate more Azerbaijan citizens to the area to make a pretense for territorial disputes in the first place......? Kinda sounds exactly like what Russia was doing in the first place.

You can't decide these things based on "historical territories", the international law exists for a reason

Yes to validate the winnings of territorial dispute for the side who has the most economically powerful friends.

Also, why are you still arguing...you were wrong.

The military forces of Armenia and Azerbaijan have been engaged in a border conflict since 12 May 2021, when Azerbaijani soldiers crossed several kilometers into Armenia in the provinces of Syunik and Gegharkunik. Despite international calls for withdrawal from the European Parliament, the United States, and France, Azerbaijan has maintained its presence on Armenian soil, occupying at least 215 square kilometres (83 sq mi) of internationally recognized Armenian territory

So this is settled then right? Or are you going to make another excuse to stan for Azerbaijan?

Sure, if you completely disregard the international law, then yes, I concede that I'm wrong.
But by that logic, what Russia is doing is ok. Who cares if the laws says that territory is Ukraine's, there are Russians in there. Let them keep it.

And since my whole argument is based on respecting international law, I have nothing else to say. Especially since you managed to settle this decades long dispute so easily. Armenians good, Azerbaijanis bad. That will surely solve everything.

P.S.

How devious of the Albanians and Turks to start moving there 1000s of years in advance to later "denazify" the area.

Lol, my dude. Just because there are some situations where international law support material and historic reality, does not mean all situations which don't are inherently wrong.

The only way your example makes any sense is if you do not acknowledge the historical context. It also requires you to selectively apply the logical framework of international law so it doesn't apply to the land dispute that predates it.

since my whole argument is based on respecting international law, I have nothing else to say.

Didn't you already admit that you were wrong and that azjeries broke international law? So it kinda seems like you either don't have an argument, or you are being very dishonest about your biases.

Lol, you are conflating Azerbaijan's founding with the region in which we were discussing. Can you make any kind of rebuttal that isn't based on logical fallacy?
