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.

So even if Ukraine actually did instigate this war, which I firmly hold is total bullshit, it wouldn't matter according to your logic because Russia was going to do whatever it wanted anyway. On that basis, either countries stand up to Russia at some point or Russia blackmails its way into owning the entire world.
Even if you think that Euromaidan was 100% CIA orchestrated and done directly to turn Ukraine against Russia - obviously not necessary since Ukraine was already favouring Europe, that's what the entire drama was about - Russia didn't think it was necessary to even see what the outcome was before deciding that Crimea looked awfully nice and undefended. If you think that Ukraine's trade arrangements count as the opening move of an actual war, I don't know what to say to you
Russia has lost plenty of wars. It lost WW1. It lost in Afghanistan when it was the much bigger and stronger Soviet Union. Twice. It lost against Japan. It lost the Crimean War. You know there's more of history than WW2 and Napoleon, right?
And either way, it's not like Russia left Ukraine with much of a choice, is it? Or are we falling back on round two of "Russia gets to blackmail anyone into anything"?
