NonCredibleDefense
A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do 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.

now you have me wondering what is the first
that israel has nukes
Haha that’s just a textile factory haha
They're making glass, duh.
Well, preparing to make glass.
uranium glass, that is, maybe even enriched uranium glass, one might say, and some others might say enriched uranium glass without the glass
I would have called it a glass factory. Means I can snicker every time I tell someone.
Those back-alley 'marriages' to 13-year-old "virgins" aren't going to last.
Religion is just there to keep the masses down
Organized Religion is just cancer at this point
Right, absolutely, that's the take away. Anyhoo, so somebody has hidden hundreds of small but powerful bombs in electronic devices on people's bodies in at least 1 country. There's no way to detect them yet. Lebanon is in a panic- civilian, military, Hezbollah, politicians. What are all they gonna do, stop hooking up with other men on dating apps?
Not limited to the middle east.
Why would a diplomat have a direct line of communication with a powerful military force in the region? That seems like a pretty straightforward question with an obvious answer lol.
shhhhhh it's conspiracy theory time...
Yeah, we sure showed that 10 year old!
Damn the Iranian ambassador sure was young
Don't forget all those Hamas nurses and doctors. Totally not indiscriminate terrorism against civilians. Israel never does that!
Hezbollah*
I know it was probably an innocent mistake but people have been mixing these two up a lot recently
I'd be surprised if he didn't.
What is a "Hezbollah pager"
Pagers were precursors to cell phones, there's a little screen and it buzzes but the primary purpose is just to tell you to call someone.
Hezbollah is a political party / paramilitary group in Lebanon, aligned with Iran against Israel. And Lebanon shares a border with Israel so a famously fraught relationship there and it has only gotten worse since October. They use pagers because the Israeli intelligence agency is notoriously good and they would likely hack any cell phone.
Speaking of which, Israeli intelligence planted bombs in pagers sold to Hezbollah by a 3rd party over the last 2 years, and recently detonated the bombs, killing or wounding many members of Hezbollah. Also an Iranian ambassador.
It was on discount on Jihad R Us.
But seriously, doubt the relation can be considered much of a secret.
Why does anyone have pagers anymore?
Because the terror state next door can target you if you have a cell phone.
