When is the admin going to run out of excuses?
They did what?
Also, the auto fill results when you type in "Israel bombs" are interesting.

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.

surprised it's not "refugee camp, orphanage, aid convoy, hospital, American warship"
PMCs: We firebombed an orphanage. Any government every: Boys will be boys
Is this the plot of MGS5?
Everyone! Dont you see! Isreal is trying to divert Russian troops from Ukraine. This is a win!!!
/s
Look can't I just be happy a Russian airbase was attacked?
Hahaha
FUCK YOU RUSSIA
Lmao fuck these wars are complicated but there is one simple fact we can agree on
I like the cut of your jib
The American reaction in the second frame should've been: cool, here's more weapons.
I hope that's just a joke, it's not like Israel needs more enemies
netanyahu needs Israel to have more enemies so that he can maintain a stranglehold on power indefinitely. basic fascism
Russia supports Iran while the US supports the paragons of Israel and Saudi Arabia. Kind of like the US was leaning Pakistan while Russia leans India. Now China finds more value with Pakistan than we do though (which will eventually make us do something stupid to "support our interests").
Yeah, I still don't understand the Pakistan thing. Pakistan:
- harbored Osama bin Laden
- has pretty uninteresting economic output
- has serious beef with their much larger neighbor India, and are somewhat friendly with Iran and China
Whereas India:
- has a ton of people
- already has pretty extensive economic ties to the US, which could be strengthened, and is a ripe alternative to China for production
- has tensions w/ China, so we have mutual enemies
- is highly unlikely to harbor any of our enemies
Yet we keep them at arm's length.
I could say the same for Israel and Saudi Arabia. Why are we so intent on picking the worst possible countries in a given region? The only explanation is that we want war...
India is a contender for becoming a major power in a multipolar world, where the US is not the hegemon anymore.
So it makes perfect sense to help Pakistan and stir the conflict so, India is slowed in its advances to become a major power.

For real though, Biden + his foreign policy and military advisors are gonna win a mental gymnastics competition with this shit
Biden be like: "Come here, anything for you haBiBi"
Biden is a simp to Netanyahu.
Making fun of the IDF on Reddit? That's a paddlin'.
How is this making fun of the IDF? Seems to me the topic is the Biden administration's arbitrary restrictions on Ukraine.
It's not up to Biden bud.
You're wrong. Such decisions are made by the Executive branch.
to be clear, ukraine went ahead and did this anyway. And then the US lifted restrictions on this kind of stuff (idk if it was completely, but they did do it)
It's not really arbitrary, it's just geopolitics being geopolitics, ukraine and the rest of europe showed that russia would bluff, and we're supporting them more now.
I guess it should make sense coming from a partially republican legislature that doesn't even believe in the ukraine war to begin with.
It's about atacms strikes deep (+100km) inside russia, what according to you did they do "anyways"?
they have sent other munitions from other sources fairly deep into russia, i believe the submarine dock attack was with a storm shadow missile, and at least one drone attack, the obvious one being the kremlin bombing, as well other other sourced materials they can find. They've been doing it whenever accessible and possible. Oh and obviously the recent offensive into russia itself.
The obvious example is the ATACMs missile, but i believe that was post restriction.
to be clear here, i'm not saying they broke the US restrictions, i'm saying they broke the "taboo" on firing into russian territory.
The submarine dock was in Sevastopol, which is Russian-occupied Ukraine rather than Russia.
sevastopol is in crimea right? Is crimea recognized broadly by the global nations to be ukrainian territory? Crimea is annexed by russia, there was a whole thing around this when it happened. I know ukraine contests this and wishes to get it back, but currently for most intents, and most purposes, crimea is a part of russia.
Is crimea recognized broadly by the global nations to be ukrainian territory?
You can make up your own mind, but that's a strong yes to me:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_status_of_Crimea#Stances
i guess i'd probably define it by either governmental ties, although i believe crimea was closer to a territory of ukraine, than an actual part of ukraine, and whether or not the government itself has some sort of significant influence in that region.
Geo politics is fun.
I guess the other alternative is digging through the history of ukraine and crimea to see if they ever established any sort of relationship that you could use as a basis for a modern claim of "ownership"
Crimea and Sevastopol both had majority votes for independence in 1991.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1991_Ukrainian_independence_referendum
naturally post USSR implosion it gained independence. I feel like i'd probably leave crimea up for debate at the moment tho. I could see it going either way depending on how you classify it's relationship to ukraine.
Ya I'm with you there, they have broken so many taboos (or as the russians call it, red lines), tanks, western help, javelins, hitting oil depos, substations (but that was retaliation I guess), ...
What about a kremlin attack? I only know about a staged one with a drone from IDR like 2022?
oh was the drone attack on the kremlin staged? I remember hearing that as a possibility, but i never looked into it after the fact.
Wait....
Are we on Reddit?
No, according to the poster, this post was removed from r/NCD (on Reddit).
Thanks for responding.
I was mostly just sarcastically joking.
Assuming most of us had made the switch at some point. Etc etc etc
In other news I hope you're having a nice day!
I am a bit of a dunce lol, clearly need my joke meter checked. Hope you're having a good one also
Is this a permission versus forgiveness example?
Of course, now that Ukraine asked for permission and NATO (not just the US) said "no," if they deliberately attack that's extremely bad.
Is Israel bombing Russian airbases now?
Whaaaaat
Ah yes Ukraine and Israel are both American proxy wars and not totally different conflicts with different politics run by independent countries
We sure are supporting Israel a lot for it to not be a proxy war though...
It's not a proxy war; it's a proxy "police action."
it's not a proxy war they're just using American money and weapons and some American citizen soldiers
And America is using that to exert their influence on that region in the world. Sure sounds like a proxy. Just because Israel has more power in American politics compared to Ukraine doesn't mean they aren't a proxy.
Wow very juicy. In Syria, but still.
"There are no russians in Syria!"
Ask for forgiveness, not for permission.
