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.

The energy off this is crazy. Ukraine definetly has the hype war won. Good for them.

[–] turtlepower@lemm.ee 23 points 3 months ago

Fighting to defend your country from invaders will do that.

New Ukrainian strat just dropped: attack everything with a vague phonetic similarity to Will Griggs:

  • Kerch Bridge
  • Kursk (is)
  • (Saint Peters)Burg (is)
  • Il'pryskoye? Sure, why not open a front in Kamchatka

In the footsteps of Napoleon, the shadow figures stagger through the winter
Falling back before the gates of Moscow, standing in the wings like an avenger
And far away behind their lines, the partisans are stirring in the forest
Coming unexpectedly upon their outposts, growing like a promise
You'll never know, you'll never know, which way to turn, which way to look, you'll never see us
As we steal into the blackness of the night you'll never know, you'll never hear us

And the evening sings in a voice of amber
The dawn is surely coming
The morning road leads to Stalingrad, and the sky is Softly humming

-Al Stewart

(I wonder if Putin has been nervously watching the Gaddafi video at all, recently)

Or mussolini after you know

Spoopy, love it!

Literally or metaphorically?

[–] borari@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Where you been dawg literally on fire.

[–] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I just looked it up on Meduza.io, the Telegraph, etc. The gas is still flowing through the pipeline safely to the EU to fulfill that contract. That's the only thing anybody is sure of.

[–] borari@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

What? Kursk is on fire and Ukrainian troops are taking mad prisoners.

Here’s an image of Rostov literally on fire.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago (2 children)

True, but Kursk-the-region, not Kursk-the-city.

Yet.

[–] verity_kindle@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Thank you for understanding nuance.

[–] borari@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

So saying Kursk is on fire is appropriate, because it is?

[–] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

With the confusion it’s reasonable to ask if Kursk the city is on fire.

[–] borari@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 months ago

Kursk the region is on fire doesn’t fit the song though, and is accurate nonetheless so I’m fine with it.

[–] verity_kindle@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Thank you, you are the Abrams beneath my wings.

[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Da, comrade.
