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 Russian ports on the Black Sea are so absurd that if you encountered a setup like that in a video game you'd just quit because it's unrealistic.
Scenario:
Game: Ok, you've got a port that's open year round with access to both the Atlantic and Indian Oceans.
Player: Yay, I set sail for the Atlantic.
Game: You set sail, making good time across the Black sea. To continue to the Atlantic, you first have to pass through the Bosporous, a narrow channel that goes right through the biggest city of Turkey. You need to make it worth their while.
Player: This is bullshit. Ok, I bribe Turkey, now am I in the Atlantic?
Game: You've made it past Turkey. Are you at peace with Greece?
Player: Yes... why?
Game: Congratulations, you are able to pass the Agean sea. You have now made it to the Mediterranean sea.
Player: Wait, I wanted to go to the Atlantic.
Game: To go to the Atlantic, proceed to the Strait of Gibraltar. Are you at peace with England?
Player: What? Wait, this is bullshit. Another strait? And isn't England up in the northern Atlantic? I'm at peace with Spain, France, Italy... what does England have to do with it?
Game: England controls the Strait of Gibraltar.
Player: This is bullshit, ok, I go to the Indian ocean instead.
Game: Are you on good terms with Egypt, Yemen, Eritrea and Djibouti?
