Germany doesn't have nukes tho. The nukes in the country are all American property.

[-] yemmly@lemmy.world 72 points 7 months ago

Same goes for Belgium, Italy, and Turkey. But I won’t let that interfere with my appreciation for the meme.

Officially we don't. We merely have American military bases with American planes and suspicious payloads that the government refuses to comment on.

I've wondered what that would mean in practice in different scenarios. If NATO command structure was atomized (RIP the city of Mons, no-one really liked you but thanks for the sacrifice o7), would the Belgian army make the call to fire ze missiles anyway? Or does the highest-ranked American make that call?

What is wrong with Mons? How did that ancient city hurt you?

[-] azertyfun@sh.itjust.works 21 points 7 months ago

Real answer: nothing, just regional banter

Noncredible answer: That terrible, poor, almost-french city hasn't managed to finish its train station in decades (it's 1000 % over budget and 10 years late). This demonstrates why their population has therefore rightly been declared as expandable to protect Brussels.

Fair. Bye, Mons.

Expandable? What ya fuckers set up a breeding program there? The Canadians are right Belgians really as are disgusting creatures.

And missed off is the UK which has it's own nukes^*

^* please ensure all targets are kept within a 500m radius of the firing submarine.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 7 months ago

Does the firing sub also count as a target?

[-] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 4 points 7 months ago

Yeah, I'm surprisingly OK with that...

[-] mryessir@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 7 months ago

As long as Boeing hasn't contributed to D&R..

[-] ahornsirup@sopuli.xyz 3 points 7 months ago

For now. If Trump withdraws the US from NATO all bets are off.

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.
