A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo 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.

To be fair, the Maginot line wasn't breached. The Germans went around it.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Which was the entire point of the line. Belgium back out if their defense deal with France, and even German high command was pissed about how quickly Rommel was going through Northern France. Fall Gelb was absolutely balls to the wall insane and could have seen the German Panzers encircled if the Allied forces had been the least bit competent.

Completely useless and the fucking Muscovites will use human waves to breach the line. The best solution, a shit ton of tungsten pellets, cluster munitions, willy pete and my favorite...napalm. Bring back fucking napalm!

I mean given the tactics in Ukraine it's not out of the question...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

By the time they reach Poland there will be no meat left to throw at the line.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

I think you call that the "start of history"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Pointless, they will come through Hungary and Slovakia if Ukraine falls

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Not pointless, a somewhat protected border is better than a not protected border if they have to go around it

That was the entire point of the Maginot line

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

There's a philosophical question: if it did it's job flawlessly, and still accomplished nothing, is it pointless?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It accomplished slowing the Germans down and forcing them with going thought the rougher terrain of Belgium. That's far from nothing

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

As I said, it worked flawlessly, but if it worked flawlessly, but France still got overrun, it'skinda debatable what the point was?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago

What's the point of seatbelts if people wearing them might still die in car crashes? Might as well get rid of them then

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

So you mean.... the perfect eastern maginot line?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Except that the only way for these fucks to go around the Eastern Shield is to go through Ukraine, and that's not exactly possible for these idiots
