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.

The attitude toward nuclear weapons displayed by countries that haven't ever nuked anyone are always fun to watch.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

True. But also as an American we damn near nuked Korea and Vietnam, so I’m not going to act like we’re better

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

"Damn near" is a euphemism for "didn't."

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Didn’t, but the general that dropped them on Japan was fired for frequently trying to nuke Korea.

We’ve come closer to nuking someone other than Japan than anyone but the USSR and China have

I'd give your comment the tiniest but if credence if you had the data to quantify it, but 2/3 of your examples don't think that kind of information should be shared.

Basically, you're forming an opinion based on incomplete data.

It's not verifiable.

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.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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."

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 month ago

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.

I have never seen a nuclear explosion in person and I hope I never do. I kind of think they SHOULD be treated with reverence.

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

On the one hand, a lot of people would die really horrible deaths. On the other hand, it would be really funny watching a Fox News host try and deal with a nuclear war on his first day in charge of the DOD

Imagine how Kennedy Jr. would advise us on treating radiation sickness

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

i kinda fuck with nuclear proliferation.

[–] lychee@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 month ago (4 children)

no offense but i don't think I've ever heard this opinion before, may i ask why

[–] weeeeum@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm so fucking done with the west leading Ukraine on and giving them a bone when the front is at a breaking point. It's clear that if Ukraine wants to win this war, it won't be on the west's terms. They are in a position where they can only rely on themselves.

This nonsense of a drop of aid after irreplaceable casualties/losses isn't sustainable.

Sure, but nobody is actually obligated to defend Ukraine since there's no alliance. And that's largely what this war is over, since Russia wants to keep it that way.

I think the West should nut up and join the war to crush Russia or stop all aid, but this non-committal assistance isn't really helping anything and just prolonging the war.
