Man, China must be watching this shitshow, looking at Outer Manchuria and wondering what exactly Russia could do about it at this point if they decided to reverse the Treaty of Aigun...

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.

The only response is nukes
A nuclear power just had its sovereignty “violated.”
Nukes didn’t fly.
And this is why nuclear powers don't start stupid wars of conquest, because if they fail (normally they fail), "nukes fly".

Pretty soon the world is going to need proof that they have even one working warhead before that stops being a viable defense.

We'll let them take Palin as a snack if they're still hungry after annexing Green Ukraine
Is there anything between the Urals and Alaska that would slow down an invading army? Other than the lack of infrastructure.
Just like everything. Forests, swamps, rivers, extreme weather. There's a reason people don't live in that part of the world
I'd slightly categorize that under "lack of infrastructure". Taiga covers 12% of Earth's land area and is difficult to travel in. 25% of Earth's land area is mountainous, 33% desert, 7% rainforest...
Well that, and the politics.
Vast marshes that are impassable for vehicles when they're not frozen, I think?
Yes. Putin has been acting like global warming will unlock more Russian land for production. Turns out the permafrost areas are such because they were mostly giant bogs before freezing.
The explosions of Methane as it thaws is interesting and worrying. Definitely not a place that people are going to want to live in even when warmer.
Oh noes, 🦟 biolab swarms!1!!

Winter
Well there's the Bering Sea.
No, just look in to history they have lost control of it 1918-1920.
As my friend says "I will join army only if I can ride trains through Siberia and shoot ruzzians, as my grandfather."
Mud, forest, rivers, lack of roads.
Plus an absolute shit ton of skeeters
Hope their spy agency set up a colab government or they will have to actually push that far.
Well there is the russian freedom army or what its called.
You know, white blue white. Those guys
So then Ukraine can puppet easier in the peace deal??
They probably wont puppet, but government change and take their core states back
Could demand resource rights and take the navy if they play it right. We all know russia will not be able to rebuild it.
Mineral rights would be extremely valuable, but not even the Elbonian navy would take Russian nave vessels for anything but as practice targets........
Sell them for scrap just like Pepsi. But mainly just to get rid of them.
What navy? HA!
I in full honestly, would ukraine actually defeat russia hoi4 style we should supervise their democracy like they did with west germany post ww2
What navy? HA!
They recently transferred a lot of their ships to the submarine fleet
Battlefield conversions
