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. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.

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 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. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread 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.

Honestly, this exploding pagers story has to be one of the craziest things that happened IRL. If you put this in a movie I would say it jumped the shark at that point.

The exploding walkie talkies as the follow up was really too much.

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 44 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Honestly it’s so fascinating if you can step aside how heinous an act it is. However many “bad guys” they wanted to kill I don’t think the collateral damage is acceptable.

Like I want to know the details of how they breached the supply chain, how they knew who would have any given pager, how they switched up to walkie talkies.

For all the evil that mossad commit you can’t deny they’ve got skills, but I guess with unlimited money and a warped ideology anything is possible.

The boring answer is that Mossad probably were the ones who convinced Hezbollah to move to pagers in the first place, likely through double agents, and likely also controlled the supply chain from the beginning. They probably also didn't actually care about who specifically had a pager, and just made sure they were distributed thoroughly within Hezbollah.

They were reportedly tracking movement via cell phones, so it was kind of "natural" to move to other comm channels, too.

Can you believe your comment was how I found out that happened? I thought it was just a joke at first, like something so absurd that could only happen in a comedy movie.

NCD leads the world in important breaking news... and plane pornography.

Airpods next? Anything is credible right now.

exploding vibrators could be exciting

Maybe Kingsmen wasn't so far fetched after all.
