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.

Unfortunately Russia is figuring out that they can't handle high tech, but they can handle lots of low tech.

"Quantity is a quality of it's own".

Quantity is a quality of its own if you have unlimited manpower, i.e. if you are a low-tech agrarian society with naturally high birth rates and an effectively limitless pool of expendable serfs the Czar can press into canon-fodder service whenever he needs to wage war. Unfortunately for the current Czar, these things no longer hold, and no amount of pontificating about “traditional values” will turn this around by itself.

To be careful: I am not a supporter of Russia. Let's be clear on that.

Agreed he can't do this forever, but he only needs to hold out long enough for funding to run out, and is happy to spend lives and low tech equipment in the meantime. Look at the losses in avdiivka.

So for all interested porpoises, he did have unlimited lives and gear

All we can do is hope trump doesn't win and whatever Congress is next doesn't hold funding hostage

If I had a dime for every time autocorrect swapped to the incorrect form of “its,” I’d have enough to fly to California and drown Tim Apple and Richard Google with dimes.

If you accidentally change your keyboard layout to italian it will autocorrect all kinds of stuff that makes no sense. Was kinda funny at first and then grew to be annoying
