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 was told by Lemmy comrades that Cuba has never done any wrong!
The only thing wrong in this case was they failed.
Invading neighbors isn't cool, no matter who does it
There is a case for it, if it is to stop a genocide. But obviously not there.
Sure. I won't move the goalposts too much here, and will accept that I was overly specific,... but I legitimately would describe that as separate from an invasion, and instead call that peacekeeping or something else.
Invasion to me seems like imperialist action to further political or territorial goals.
You should probably look up what Trujillo got up to, since you admit some actions justify intervention.
Like, for example, a CIA sponsored coup and assassination. But obviously they're the good guys, right?
i don't know if this is a hot take but assassinations are better than invasions
Unless the assassination, for random example, starts a civil war, because the people the imperial power wanted in charge ended up not having enough support to stay in charge.
Or if it starts WW1.
No, the CIA are not the "good guys", why would you say that?
Naked sarcasm
fucking trujillo???
The other dude being a douche doesn't make invasion correct.
Peacekeeping and diplomatic pressure are different.
dude was launching assassination attempts on other heads of state, in addition to thousands of states murders
Let's just ask the fascists to stop nicely.
Right, with peacekeeping and diplomatic efforts.
But what if a country is invading another country so they will stop invading a country, blocking the attempt by the invaded and invading country to build a revive machine that takes up exactly the same space as it and the invaded country combined to revive hitler?
Try again, make it sexy
