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.

Do you think Russia is low on troops?
I dunno... you tell me:
The mobilized have little or no leave, they are required to stay in the fight years after their enlistment.

meanwhile the mobilization is hurting their entire economy.

which is really just built on resource extraction (that Ukraine has beaten the absolute shit out of recently) and arms sales (no one is looking at Russia's war in Ukraine as a testament to Russian arms superiority lol).
Do I think Russia is low on troops? Yeah, yeah I do. It's taken years but yes.
Thank you for compiling those articles. MSN Newsweek nypost aljazera are high quality outlets to be taken extremely seriously.
sigh.... do you think they'd drag north korean self propelled arty across the entire continent, just to lose them to drones too, if they had any fucking choice?

there's no argument that will sway you, no evidence that will give you pause to reconsider.
Lmao you're an idiot. How can you reach these conclusions. You only provided evidence of arty being destroyed from a good source thats it the rest you made up.
No I dont think they were forced to drag artillery all the way over from north Korea. Russia has ties with NK and it was a opportunity for NK troops to get experience and foster closer ties with Russia. This was a chance for russia to push boundaries and escalate to test NATOs.
Its rough losing that gear no doubt and russia has been forced to becomr more cautious with assets than in the beginning of the war. Do you think they would reject a ceasefire that allows them to keep all captured territory if they were low on troops and being forced to bring in low skill NK troops?
ah the north korean self propelled artillery flew on fairy wings from NK.
roger that.
Or you don't think it's NK at all? pfft.
