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.

It does annoy me that basically countries are giving their surpless weapons to Ukraine, only to buy new weapons for themselves. It's still growing the weapons industry, which is keen to encourage war across the globe, as that leads to money.
Meanwhile Ukraine are receiving weapons not as donations, but bilateral aid agreements. This means that Ukraine is expected to pay them back some day. In reality, Ukraine will likely never be able to pay them back (and even if they can they will be left financially destitute either way) so all that's going to happen is the debt will be written off. So current governments can fiddle their books and say "yes, we've got a deficit, but we're going to get so much money back in the future!!" only for that debt to be written off. But hey, that's a future government's problem.
You might find this fact sheet interesting.
(Note, this document was written in 2000. UK paid off it's WWII debts in 2006.)
Maybe if the rest of the world actually built up a decent army, instead of leaving all of the military matters to the US, then the US wouldn't have to spend half of it's goddamn budget on the military-industrial complex.
