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.

said to get a ”key" to heaven if they fought in the war

Wow. That's such a different kind of lie than the ones we tell people to get them to enlist.

this sounded weird so i looked it up, and it seems to be a sort of mistranslation, iranian soldiers were given a booklet of pamphlets called "Keys to Paradise" along their dogtags https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_key_to_paradise

In America you get the key to a Dodge Charger 😎

Dodge Charger > Key to heaven

As a person brought up Catholic I can imagine how that would work

Iranian child soldier: hey Pete, I have a key, let me open the gate

Pete on the gate: sorry dude. That's a dud key. Only the successors to me get to issue real keys, and my reps on Earth discontinued indulgences since 1667.

Pete: also you chose the wrong religion. You weren't even baptised. Sorry to say you're off to purgatory for a few kiloyears (Iran uses metric, right?) to pay for your bad choices, murder, and not getting your dick cut or getting baptised

As a reformed Catholic I'm pretty sure the kids gets what everyone gets: nothing

As awful as it is, gotta admit that electrifying a swamp is a pretty creative move.

The Iraqi electrified a large swamp while the Iranians were crossing it, and then later used their bodies to build a road.

Closest analogue to what's going on in Ukraine. Dictator launches big, bold invasion, gets stopped, pushback offensive that doesn't really go anywhere. Both sides get desperate and start doing crazy shit. Lots of people die for nothing. US defense contractors make bank.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

At risk of being too credible the Ukraine side did keep Russia out of Kiev, and the US military industrial complex really needs the practice on the industrial side.

If US industry makes bank keeping Ukraine alive for one more week, then consider that they're also getting America into a better position for opposing the bad countries of the near future

I don't care who making money if it helps defend from Russian invasion

How'd you define 'bad countries'
