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.

anything but the metric system huh
They don’t have fractions in Europe?
Nope! The superior European mind can't conceive of fractions, or understand how to divide by anything other than ten. This inability is what makes then superior in fact.
/s in case any Europeans read this, I know you guys can't understand sarcasm.
I tell you hwut
That's a lot of pistols!
Wait, those are 1911s.
First they came for the Dixie Chicks, and I said nothing because country music sucks...
I'm as all in on NCD is anybody else, but my LORD that is a really good cover of the Beach boys 😮
Like the good old days after 9/11
I don't think we should cheer on indiscriminately bombing Gaza nor bombing Iran or Lebanon.
All of these are like 99% innocent civilians who are ruled by pieces of shit.
If there was a way to somehow precision strike these assholes, go for it, I suppose, but if that is realistic at all... I kind of doubt it.
BOMB THEM AGAIN
Time for the US to become complicit in yet another ethnic cleansing. But let's celebrate because we'll get to see some cool footage.
I usually enjoy NCD but this is too much.
It was fun to cheer on Ukraine against Russia because fuck Russia and Ukraine was just trying to do it's thing without getting invaded. But Israel-Palestine is just sad, and if anything, the military power of the West is not being used in the right way for this one.
The whole area has been powder keg for decades. I don't really know what sending military forces in will do.
Israel has 170,000 active and 465,000 reserves. I'm seeing reports of them mobilizing 300,000 so that's roughly half of their total forces. The Ford carrier strike group moving in is meant to deter anyone else (Hezbollah) from taking advantage of the situation and opening a second front while half the Israeli forces are occupied elsewhere.
Legit question: if Israel shouldn’t be doing what they are doing, what is the alternative that enhances their security? I sure don’t know what the alternate is that actually achieves a peaceful existence. Compromise of any sort seems repugnant to both Israelis and Palestinians.
It's a failed state that 'elects' terrorists who have destroyed any actual opportunity for economic independence or peace.
There's no way forward with Hamas in charge IMO. But what can be done. Any kind of 'go in and fix it' from Israel is going to be terrible in terms of optics even if done with complete benevolence, which it won't, even if they're not as bad.
They could just annex it and move forward with a highly inclusive approach, give Palestine the quality of life they deserve. But that wouldn't sit right with many, for quite fair reasons. Leave a power vacuum? Unlikely to go well.
I think Palestine needs external support and guidence to stand on its own and be a functional state. I'd say that Egypt or Jordan would 'look' best to do that. But it raises a huge number of problems.
At the moment it's basically festering, and things will never improve under the current leadership. What they demand is not reasonable or acceptable, and what they will do until they (Hamas) get what they want is also unacceptable.
So really, it's a question of whether Palestine will ever deal with Hamas themselves, and if not, who else can/should.
Thoughtful, thank you
This is clearly mocking the bloodthirsty policies of the US and its allies, not actually supporting air strikes.
As such, it's pretty damn funny.
I watched the whole thing and yeah, you're right. I misunderstood.
