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.

We should send more ships from NATO countries. If Putin tries anything against them it would put a swift end to this conflict.
Chances are things would go nuclear. That would NOT be good at all
I would suppose that depends on what NATO's response is. They could swiftly disable Russia's conventional forces in Ukraine and the Black Sea without creating an existential threat to Moscow, which is what I expect it would take to provoke nuclear warfare.
To disable Russian forces in ukraine youd have (my opinion, truth is probably more complicated and I’m definitely not an expert) probably to invade Russia and encircle the Russian forces. You could also drive the Russian forces through ukraine which would probably be a lot more costly when it comes to losses. Either one might make china compelled to aid Russia in some form or anotehr which wouldn’t be great
Ukraine is on its way to pushing Russia out without even getting close to the bleeding edge of NATO technology. The argument is whether or not NATO would even need boots on the ground to push Russia out. And then the next step of argument is whether the boots on the ground need to be anything but advisory.
As a certified Internet expert on a shit posting sub, I honestly wonder why they haven't taken the opportunity to declare Ukraine a no-fly zone.
To be fair small low tech drones are harder to watch for compared to large high tech ones that are basically planes.
You don't need to invade Russian or encircle shit. Send an aircraft carrier, establish air superiority, bomb all positions until the cunts either leave or die. Let Ukraine establish a 25km zone on each side of the border where they wont cross. Dial in the whole border with artillery like the DMZ in Korea.
You say that, but have you seen the Russian economy nowadays?
Good point, a nuclear holocaust can only improve the economy of Russia.
Does Russia even have working nukes still? They are pretty expensive to upkeep. I think the situation might be pretty funni.
There are only 2 possibilities here:
Putin is rational and realizes he cannot stand against NATO and hope to survive
Putin is not rational
In case of 1, we should make it clear there is no path to victory for him. In the case of 2, it doesn't matter, he's going to go crazy already, the die has already been cast.
In either case, para bellum.
I'm past fearing what Putin might do. It's time he starts fearing what we might do if he keeps fucking around. The finding out portion of today's exercises is ready to begin.
Gleefully hoping for a nuclear escalation is a popular NCD pastime, at least that's how it looks.
Nukes are cringe af. We seek conventional annihilation of the Russian state.
Et tu, Brute?
Strap me to the missile please
Ok, ok - just for you we'll glass Moscow.
Promise 🥺?
Jeez, now everyone's gonna want to glass a city in Russia.
Fucking bring it. As an SSBN submariner in the US strategic nuclear navy, please give me a reason to flip that switch. Not a soul in the strategic forces would even hesitate to respond to a valid and authentic EAM.
putin doesn't have the balls to do that right? right??
