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.

You're going to have to be more specific. There are some Islamic flags that are general use and not representing any one group.

edit: fix link

It is very similar, but there are some differences. Such as the uprights being crossed on the right. If you look up HTS flags you can see they have some that are extremely similar but are rendered differently. They likely say the same thing, (the Islamic declaration of faith).

this is alternate flag of syrian transitional government, taliban shahada is written in different way (two diagonal lines in first part instead of three, different placement of diacritics etc) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syrian_transitional_government

I am not an expert, but the Syrian transitional government look like Jihadist flag (color inverted, different placement of diacritics, etc) and the flag from news source look like Taliban (again different placement of diacritics)

i still think it's white HTS flag, there would be little reason for taliban flag to be there https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Syria

that shahada is written more like that on saudi flag and less like taliban, at least that's how it looks to me (not an arabic speaker)
