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.

A strong sentiment following this conflict centers around Russia being so shit at war they can’t even beat Ukraine.
On point for a non credible defense message space.
Ukraine is fighting a literal world war alone and taking the kind of losses in a year most NATO countries wouldn’t accept in a decade.
The humanity of the situation is that Ukraine is being told to fight by countries that don’t really care at all for their losses. When they persist to exist where others fell it’s credited to Russian incompetence as opposed to fighting skill and leadership.
The history is that Ukraine was a buffer between Russia and Europe. Civilian infrastructure was over built to withstand a NATO invasion until Russia could counter attack. That’s why Asov steel works held out as a notable example. The extremely resistant electrical grid is another.
The reality is that when Ukraine no longer wanted to be a buffer between Europe and Russia decided what Ukraine would be. the west sided with Russia over Crimea. Then the Donbos ‘independent’ regions.
A decade long genocide has been executed in steps against Ukraine.
In that time the collective of NATO can’t even produce enough artillery shells to put Ukraine at a 2:1 disadvantage.
No opinions here matter. None have any value beyond glib entertainment.
There was a 5 minute video posted here about if a guided munition was an anime girlfriend.
A shit comment about Ukraine fighting better than NATO would isn’t out of line here.
There is too much to cover here.
As I said earlier, you clearly have minimal alignment of the primary understandings most others have. For starters, it's clear you don't even understand the premise of NATO.
This is like me projecting opinions about cars when I think they're made of wood and drawn by horses.
You're either a troll or you're peaking on the Dunning-Kruger graph based on some obscure and narrow-scoped details you may have garnered. It's so small picture and fundamentally flawed or entirely untrue.
