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.

I still don't understand the West's reluctance to let their donated long range missiles to strike infrastructure in Russian territory. The Russians have shown zero restraint in targeting critical civilian infrastructure in Ukraine. Allow them to even the odds.
Honestly what better are we than Russia if we just start rocketing their shit? Plus so far they're happy to present their people in broad daylight for targets, no need to kill civilians.
The long range missiles the West are providing are precision strike weapons so the attacks themselves can minimize civilian casualties.
Unlike the Russians, Ukraine won't use them to target maternity wards or apartment complexes. But an electrical substation that distributes power to the Kremlin? Why not.
Destroying infrastructure will always lead to civilian deaths unless it is a pure military installation. As soon as you destroy just one wrong substation (because your Intel was wrong or whatever) you are killing innocent civilians, even worse if a hospital was hooked up to that sub station
Edit: had a typo: instead of pure i wrote lure
Fair point. It just doesn't seem fair for Ukraine to not be able to hit back while the Russians strike at will. There needs to be some consequences.
Oh, that's mostly about thermonuclear war. Much as I support Ukraine, you don't want to give Vlad the impression he needs to send nukes somewhere and start the Doomsday spiral. It takes some fine balancing. Morally, you are 100% right.
Thermonuclear war? Fucking finally
