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.

I am against my brother, my brother and I are against my cousin, my cousin and I are against the stranger.
Fuck around with the locals, and you might find them unified against you (NSFW). The nomadic groups are no strangers to violence.
Can you generally summarize so I don't have to watch the video? 🫣
Tuareg rebels in northeast Mali apparently fought and killed a Wagner unit then took all their stuff. Article: https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/mali-rebels-say-they-killed-injured-dozens-soldiers-wagner-mercenaries-fighting-2024-07-27/
The big triangular portion of Mali that makes up the northeast two-thirds-ish of the country has been the subject of rebellions and independence movements for as long as Mali has been independent in its post-colonial period. That area is the really hot and dry part of an already hot country, and is generally home to Tuareg and Songhai people.
The government of Mali since the 2021 coup has been working with Wagner, and at some point last year the ceasefire broke. The Malian government says that the rebels weren't complying with the 2015 Algiers accords, the rebels say that government and Wagner forces massacred hundreds of civilians. The war starts up again, and so now there is the above incident in which the rebels gave Wagner a kicking
Thank you. You deserve to be the first one out of the tunnel into Putin's bathroom.
Whole lotta dead Russian mercenaries
Some extra crispy!
