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.

Honorable mention to Trump but my vote goes to Prigozhin. He was so close to the smoothest coup a first world country has ever seen. Man had IRL plot armor and on a limp dick promise by the people he was couping against took the fucking armor off and went home.
Extra big red nose from me big guy.
I really don't understand what the hell happened there to make him chicken out. Like, once you cross the Rubicon, there is no turning back. And yet he turned back... It's just baffling and I simply can't imagine what could've possibly caused that, apart from sheer idiocy. I read somewhere the deal was that his family would live, but if he didn't get his family safe prior to his "coup" then his idiocy truly was unmatched.
He didn't have the support of the people he though he had. The odds of a successful coup were extremely low.
What is baffling to me is how he didn't see the obvious target on his back, and continued doing business in Russia like nothing happened. Why didn't he try to hide?
He had Russian soldiers, the people meant to stop him, just letting him pass and approach the Kremlin. He shot down a helicopter or two but my guy made it so much closer than anyone has, anywhere. They would have warmed up to him as he pulled their sons home from the war.
