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.

Do people in this community actually think Ukraine is winning?
Lol, do you actually think Russia is?
I don't think Russia is winning. I think Russia, for all intents and purposes, already won..at a cost of course.
But I tend to filter my news by reality and sources by factuality. Most people tend to filter by wishes. So it's normal that some would think otherwise. The other side filtering by wishes may also be thinking that the win came at a much smaller cost than reality.
Russia is winning, that's why they're locking down their internet and not letting their citizens talk to each other privately.
No, you don't filter by reality. I've seen your history. We all know what you are.
Do share. Your head sounds like an entertaining place. And I genuinely mean that.
I haven't researched shit and I can already tell you're full of it.
That's quite a humblebrag, woven in there with your sense of self. Why did you you come on down to mingle with those who filter by wishes? A kind of intellectual disaster tour, you're just passing through to gawk?
I wanted to double-check that i'm not being outjerked, and the posts here are not metaironic.
First time I have seen a Russian troll in social media since the embarrassment that was the reverse advance and surrender of Russians in Kursk. You know? The 1, 000km2 patch of land taken by Ukraine in just 8 days, which took months for Russia to conquer three-quarters of the size? That invasion which Gerasimov ignored the warnings of and embarrassed Putin for complacency? That amount of that land taken by Ukrainians in just one week will not even cover up the propaganda which you call "news by reality and sources by actuality". You call that winning? As we speak, Russia redeployed some if its troops from Eastern Ukraine to Kursk.
Edit: corrected the figures
1,000 km2
Ah, but of course. As one does
you're a sad centrist trying to sound like you haven't been lobotomized
Let me guess, RT?
You definitely aren't winning, how does Putin's cock taste?
Until very recently, I'd have called it a stalemate. I don't think any side can be described as "winning" right now.
Although the mass surrendering of Russian Soldiers is tipping things in Ukraine's favor fast.
It's hard to know..
But don't forget that Russia thought they'd seize Ukraine quickly. They haven't. Even if they "win", it will be a shit show and they won't be able to keep it
I also have a Russian coworker who joined the Company after the war and he was embarrassed about Russia. I seriously doubt most of their soldiers are motivated to fight
Does Russia have the funds to sustain this war and for how long? There's a reason why Belousov is the head of the MoD
Good question.
Don’t listen to them.
political propaganda is extremely effective and it’s impossible to make out the from the noise.
Near as I can tell Ukraine was losing fairly badly and the invasion was a last ditch effort that nobody wanted, although they are still backed by NATO and they won’t lose until they let them but Russia has an almost endless supply of Troops and equipment so they will lose eventually unless the war gets too embarrassing or it risks going Nuclear.
As a US SSBN submariner - bring it. Give me one good reason to set 1SQ and let these birds fly. I dare you.
