A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo 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.

Yeah, the SEAL team that is absolutely not aboard while Hamas is potentially holding American citizens is a complete coincidence.

Edit: Hezbollah is not Hamas. My brain knew what I meant, my fingers did other shit.

[–] Chariotwheel@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Hezbollah is holding American citizens hostage?

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Its not confirmed or denied by any party yet if Hamas has any US hostages but 22 US citizens are dead and 17 unaccounted for.

[–] Chariotwheel@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean, Hamas has, probably. But the original post is Hezbollah hollering. Thoser are two different organisations.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, they are and I do know that but Ill be honest, so much of the stuff coming through my feed is Israel and Palestine that my brain just switched tracks on me. I didnt notice until you pointed it out.

I meant to type "They're" not "You're" in the original post, then I thought "Oooooh something shiny" and just posted it.

So, does this account belong to Vern Miyagi or the employee of the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency?

[–] SpicyPeaSoup@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Bomb them anyway.

And nothing will happen with the emotional support carrier.😔

[–] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don’t care if this is an emotional support aircraft carrier, it can’t come into the store.

Nice horror, goodbye sleep.

Until it takes action, it is an emotional support carrier. It's a strategem straight from the age of gunship diplomacy.

The point of the carrier (if a I understand the White House's intent here — I may not) is to discourage other national interests from jumping into the fray on Hezbollah's side to escalate the fight.

Here's the thing Hezbollah (the organized movement) wants the conflict to escalate, they want Israel to pepper the strip with old cluster bombs and fuel-air bombs. They would love nothing more than to successfully provoke the US to bring (as Trump once put it) fire, fury and frankly power, the likes of which this world has never seen before.

While they sacrifice a few troops, it will mean hundreds, if not thousands of civilian casualties along the strip, maybe some collateral bodies as well, caused by the iron hand of western imperialist nations.

Israel may be glad for every dead Palestinian, but to the rest of the world, it's unconscionable horror. And if we all brush it off, it will show to all how callous and inhumanly cold western society has made us all. But no, rather, public support of Israel and the United States would plummet. It is the best hope of Palestine to get some intervention while Israel engages in quiet genocide.

This is centuries-old counterinsurgency 101 stuff, but that means recognizing the smaller faction are actual human beings, worthy of personhood and rights. And the state of Israel will not accept this (even as its people do).

i had no idea they have recruited baghdad bob

[–] N0body@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

It sounds like these guys are super pumped to meet Allah in person.

[–] skozzii@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

Why make a post if it's not a big deal? Sounds like the US is living rent free in their head..

[–] Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Title sounds about right.
