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.

"I shouldn't have railed all that ketamine"
Putin fucks ketamine confiRmed?!??!??😳😳😳😳😲😲😲😲
Putin: Uhh, so, I'll sub in Chechens and Chuchkis. At least the software updates for the missile CNCs still roll in from Germany. Thanks Stalin!
Stalin: You're welcome! I'm waiting in Orthodox hell for you with an open window that drops 100 feet right back into the floor it's on.
Seriously, why haven't we bricked their machine tools as part of sanctions?
Money.
Same reason Germany still supplies air to surface firebombs that Australians use on Papau New Guineas.
Source
Fuck I hate friendlyjordies. How someone so consistently sounds like a smug, condescending twat is beyond me.
Their team collected evidence and confronted Thales regional deputy chairmen with the evidence. It's a primary source. Their main presenter you complained about isn't even in the entire segment of that timestamp onwards.
Use present tense? WTF are you talking about. Those countries are not at war, and in fact have quite active diplomatic relations.
Well Australians, likely but not necessarily some sort of government or military entity, supplies the bombs to Indonesia who uses them against Papau New Guinea, and this is well documented that those people are being massacred so I don't appreciate your dismissive attitude, frankly.
Oh, you mean Indonesia and West Papua. Yeah, sorry for the dismissiveness, but I read a lot of crazy geopolitics theories on Lemmy.
I don't think that's the same, actually. That's a brown place where, according to the Western psychology, atrocities are allowed to happen. Ukraine is not, and that's (edit: part of the reason) why every other reasonable lever has been pulled against Russia. It's strange to me that they gouged all the industries that rely on oil before the machine tool industry.
I'm not saying it's right, but it is politically different.
Why, do you want western intervention in West Papua? I mean, I see this with Venezuela too. If we care, we are hypocrites, if we don't, we don't care about human rights, if we care about Ukraine (right on top of EU borders), we are racists, because we only care about "white people"...if we talk about anything outside the western world like Mali...it's imperialism 🤐 . What about Haiti? What about Sudan? What about Houthis? What about Myanmar? Always with the context-free whataboutism. So, what is it? Is there a world police or are there things you leave to the locals to sort out on their own?
I'll be honest, it's not a conflict I've followed closely either. Direct Western interventions usually go poorly, though. Arguably because we don't care enough to expose our own people to the risks our allies have to face. All Afghans saw was a giant bunker with a loudspeaker that belted out (broken?) Pashtu about something called "human rights". Not very convincing.
I'm not sure what your position is. Mine is that the world is full of political bullshit and I'm a nobody, so I do whatever small thing I can to make it suck incrementally less. Explaining why freaking out over 9/11 20 years on is dumb when that many people die of worms or whatever each year is part of it. If I was in charge I'd be all about multilateralism and transferring wealth aggressively to the third world where their institutions are strong enough to accept it, but I'm not.
The people talking about "imperialism" in a non-historical context tend to be full of shit. I advise you to not take them too seriously; normal people use different words now that the actual empires are all dead (minus Russia, sort of). The people talking interventionism are almost non-existent post-Afghanistan.
Edit:
So, what is it? Is there a world police or are there things you leave to the locals to sort out on their own?
I'm definitely pro-world police. We're just a good long time from anybody being able to do that effectively.
My position is simply that no other conflict in the world, including Gaza, can be compared in priority to something that is happening at the scale and in your borders like Ukraine, like you happened to suggest.
I mean, show me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ongoing_armed_conflicts in this map, which conflicts do you consider useful/ethical/moral/whatever to put in the news or send UN troops to and which ones do you consider "dumb" and ok to ignore?
I would love it if there was a newscast that weighted coverage by humanitarian impact.
Geopolitics - as in how to manage the politics of the actual non-ideal world order - is unfortunately a separate thing. I'm glad we're confronting Russia, because they did a major escalation and they definitely don't care about human rights. NATO laggards like my own country need to beef up spending.
I'm not comparing the conflicts by any stretch of the imagination, just shaming some fucked up companies involved in the beds of our enemies the world over.
I have a nephew who makes this same face when his diaper is fully loaded.
And just like my kids, I'm sure your nephew produces putin-tier unspeakable horrors in the process
He keep talking about liberals and insists I read more Bluey Theory.
This meme made me ugly laugh
Oh no
😰 Stalin, halp
Have you tried consulting Lenin's slowly decomposing corpse?
Zombie Lenin suggested gtfo Ukraine, so he had him shot and buried again. He's got a team looking for the Romanovs' mass grave now.
I'd try asking Trotsky about Ukraine, he has experience there and with an ice pick in his brain he's still more competent at strategy than Russian high command
What do you mean, the Ukrainians and American equipment are already there. This is easy!
Why does Putin look like he's trying to push out a wet shit but it's stuck?
Resting dictator face
Pull out of Ukraine.
If the Generalissimus says so, it must be true!
Huh, TIL. I thought that was just a fascist thing, it's an actual rank.
