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.

Imagine if wars didn't exist and weapons of war were just a dick measuring contest by nations to see who can design the best looking war machines, while not being crazy enough to actually use them.

They would have to have shut down the contest after the SR-71 was introduced.

Center, Aspen 20, you got a ground speed readout for us?

No one has got this with the copy pasta and subsequent refutation yet? I don't think I've ever seen that before

It would have already been over with the F-86F Sabre, if the Spitfire hadn't already killed it before.

We should just hold an annual international battlebots tournament.

But wars are just a dick measuring contest by nations, to see who can last longer.

Which is kinda silly in the modern world.

i was thinking today imagine if we resolved global conflicts with the dirty dozens

This is because you are roughly forty years older than you were in the 1980s.

Hey.

Fuck you.

Wait until you see the difference between a 1920 fighter and a 1940 fighter.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

As long as you're not talking about Italy lol

[–] southsamurai 29 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Look, I'm a fifty year old fighter, and I don't look half as sexy as that perfection

[–] sbv 19 points 3 days ago

They're unrealistic expectations.

You can't convince me that first fighter isn't for melee engagement, either going straight on like a joust, or diving for a hit with its bomb wing tips. The silver tape on the nose is just like that of athletes

[–] nuke 3 points 2 days ago

I'm convinced what this needs is Outlaw Star style grappler arms
