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.

I would have called it a glass factory. Means I can snicker every time I tell someone.

Those back-alley 'marriages' to 13-year-old "virgins" aren't going to last.

Religion is just there to keep the masses down

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

Not limited to the middle east.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Organized Religion is just cancer at this point

[–] verity_kindle 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Right, absolutely, that's the take away. Anyhoo, so somebody has hidden hundreds of small but powerful bombs in electronic devices on people's bodies in at least 1 country. There's no way to detect them yet. Lebanon is in a panic- civilian, military, Hezbollah, politicians. What are all they gonna do, stop hooking up with other men on dating apps?

Why would a diplomat have a direct line of communication with a powerful military force in the region? That seems like a pretty straightforward question with an obvious answer lol.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

shhhhhh it's conspiracy theory time...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's not a conspiracy theory that Iran and Hezbollah are allies.

Yeah, we sure showed that 10 year old!

[–] Furball 30 points 3 months ago (38 children)

Damn the Iranian ambassador sure was young

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Don't forget all those Hamas nurses and doctors. Totally not indiscriminate terrorism against civilians. Israel never does that!

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago

Hezbollah*

I know it was probably an innocent mistake but people have been mixing these two up a lot recently

I'd be surprised if he didn't.

He did

Apparently he lost an eye and the other is damaged.

It was on discount on Jihad R Us.

But seriously, doubt the relation can be considered much of a secret.

What is a "Hezbollah pager"

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Pagers were precursors to cell phones, there's a little screen and it buzzes but the primary purpose is just to tell you to call someone.

Hezbollah is a political party / paramilitary group in Lebanon, aligned with Iran against Israel. And Lebanon shares a border with Israel so a famously fraught relationship there and it has only gotten worse since October. They use pagers because the Israeli intelligence agency is notoriously good and they would likely hack any cell phone.

Speaking of which, Israeli intelligence planted bombs in pagers sold to Hezbollah by a 3rd party over the last 2 years, and recently detonated the bombs, killing or wounding many members of Hezbollah. Also an Iranian ambassador.

Why does anyone have pagers anymore?

[–] [email protected] 37 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Because the terror state next door can target you if you have a cell phone.
