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.

Apparently, the guy in question is also named Orbán, and prime minister Orbán has said that prime minister aide Orbán is talking nonsense, so there's that.

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Hungary always has and always will defend itself against foreign attacks, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said on Friday after one of his closest aides provoked controversy by suggesting that Hungary wouldn’t have fought against a Russian invasion as Ukraine has done.

Speaking to state radio, Orbán sought to downplay the remarks by his political director, Balázs Orbán, which stirred outrage among many in Hungary and led to calls for his resignation.

Prime Minister Orbán called the comment “an ambiguous statement, which in this context is a mistake.”

He emphasized that Hungary has “always defended itself, it will defend itself today and will continue to defend itself in the future by all possible means.”

Also, the names don't seem to stop there.

On Thursday, Hungary’s most prominent opposition figure, Péter Magyar, called for Balázs Orbán’s resignation by Oct. 23, the 68th anniversary of the revolution.

Isn't "Magyar" Hungarian for "Hungarian"?

checks Google Translate

It is.

So we've got the Hungarian opposition lead Hungarian criticizing Hungarian prime minister Orbán and calling for Hungarian prime minister Orbán's aide Orbán to resign.

Changing my name to Johnny American, I will become the global version of Florida man representing the US.

Yes, I assume very confusing for foreigners.

Maybe “big” Orbán is hoping that when the time comes, the inernational assassin accidentally shoots the other one, so he’s keeping him around.

Also, it would be very funny to have one day Peter Hungarian as the Hungarian Prime Minister.

Nah. Make Mongolia European again.

[–] taladar@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Do you mean make Europe part of the Mongolian Steppe Empire again?

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 month ago

Oops, my bad. I guess I'll go lie down in front of the horses with the others.

Can't we just give Hungary to Russia in exchange for withdrawing from Ukraine?

[–] jmcs@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Who would give away territory for the highway to allow russian tanks to get to Budapest? Unless you want to send the Hungarians back to the Urals.

Yeah, when Austria conquered Hungary, the Hungarians were fighting on the Austrian side. The last meaningful war that Austria and Hungary fought, Hungary basically won, but the Austrians called in the Russians to help. European history is like Game of Thrones, but with more cocaine.

That said, the last time Hungary's leadership was not completely idiotic, the year was 1490. And even that happened by mistake, because the guy before him did a Leeroy Jenkins IRL.
