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.

The attitude toward wars displayed by countries that have never in living memory fought one on their own soil is frankly terrifying in its stupidity, though.
The last military power that was stupid enough to put on uniforms and march infantry onto American soil was the Confederate States of America. How'd it go for them?
America's attitude toward war is "If we're going to fight, it's gonna happen in your face, not mine."
I'd say it's more like "we will only fight if we can keep it off our lawn and avoid tracking in the mud". America didn't dare fight 1939 Germany, only 1944 Germany when the war was already decided, and the real pivotal battles have already been won. It didn't dare fight the Soviets when they took over half of Europe, and it didn't dare fight the Soviets directly for the next century, and it "won" the Cold War by default, only to be coopted by Russian intelligence just recently.
I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but it's so weird having grown up in a country that has really known war, and to talk with Americans who think fighting a war is anything glorious.
And "every blade of grass" is reformer bullshit by the way, just to keep with the community theme. Unrestricted war crimes, nukes and chemical warfare, drones and stand-off munitions eviscerating clueless people. That's what war is about.
