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.

MODERATORS
Fun fact: For Oliver Stone’s Putin documentary, the two of them sat and watched Dr. Strangelove, on camera. It was as tense and awkward as you might expect.
Your (rambo?) meme crashed my shit, all up in their shit.
But they are le tired
So take a nap.
THEN FIRE ZE MISSILES!
Dam, taht is a sweeett earth
WRONG!
Australia can come too
What miserable assholes downvoted you?
Did they? 🤷♂️
Four people at the time of this posting, yeah. What's stumping me is why
Idk, it's not like it ruins my day or anything lol
Indood.
Germany doesn't have nukes tho. The nukes in the country are all American property.
Same goes for Belgium, Italy, and Turkey. But I won’t let that interfere with my appreciation for the meme.
Officially we don't. We merely have American military bases with American planes and suspicious payloads that the government refuses to comment on.
I've wondered what that would mean in practice in different scenarios. If NATO command structure was atomized (RIP the city of Mons, no-one really liked you but thanks for the sacrifice o7), would the Belgian army make the call to fire ze missiles anyway? Or does the highest-ranked American make that call?
What is wrong with Mons? How did that ancient city hurt you?
Real answer: nothing, just regional banter
Noncredible answer: That terrible, poor, almost-french city hasn't managed to finish its train station in decades (it's 1000 % over budget and 10 years late). This demonstrates why their population has therefore rightly been declared as expandable to protect Brussels.
Fair. Bye, Mons.

And missed off is the UK which has it's own nukes^*
^* please ensure all targets are kept within a 500m radius of the firing submarine.
Does the firing sub also count as a target?
Yeah, I'm surprisingly OK with that...
As long as Boeing hasn't contributed to D&R..
For now. If Trump withdraws the US from NATO all bets are off.
yay mutually assured destruction!
Russian oligarchs can't spend their money in a nuclear wasteland. Putin's gonna fall down some flights of stairs if he tries anything funny.
Also, the last time a Russian was told to deploy the nukes, he didn't - which was good, because the order was a fluke.
Technically it want an order but malfunctioned alert system. He made a good guess that it's just a glitch and neglected the protocol which saved millions and countries but he got a warning for not following the protocol... Just another day at military I suppose.
Context matters. If there are no escalations happening in world politics, why would there suddenly be an order to launch?
If the same glitch happened while Russian leaders are going hint hint nudge nudge towards their nuclear arsenal, would that operator do the same thing?
Maybe the worst thing about nukes isn't that the button will be pressed on purpose, but that some damn fool thing will happen on accident and things happen before anyone can take stock of the situation.
No idea what you're taking about tbh. As I said there was no order and it was during cold war iirc. Not sure what you mean by Russian leaders using glitch as an excuse. If it happened there would be no one left to blame.
I mean that right now, Putin is in a war where he's actively reminding the rest of the world that they have nukes to use. If an order comes down to launch now, that's different than an order that comes down when nothing else is happening.
Yes but I want taking about it? I was replying to someone who mentioned the cold war incident
This is why phrasing is so important... because I did not remember all that, but phrased myself so that you would do the web search...
...THE POWER~!
Thanks though ^; it's pretty wild to think that almost on a fluke, we'd be living in nuclear winter right now.
Like histories dumbest and most impactful "whoopsie doodle".
He made a decision of the kind you generally have to make when working with systems which can cause mass destruction by design or by error. I'm pretty sure many other people have done similar things in USSR and in USA and in France etc
Also, the last time a Russian was told to deploy the nukes, he didn’t - which was good, because the order was a fluke.
WDYM by deploy?
Probably the wrong choice of words. "Launch" is probably the correct word.
They're all MAD
Germany is on there but not the UK? Stop nerfing our ego!
I thought you guys joined the US with Brexit
FATALITY!!
Soon...
If we cut Scotland off from the pack I bet we can beat the EU's offer.

Our nukes strike fear into anyone who happens to be within a couple hundred meters of our launch sites while not wearing a good helmet.
My nuke is SHINY AND CHROME
