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. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.
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 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. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread 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.

I want to know if the us forces are now emulating floppy disks.
If they are smart with their money yes, if not they would have had to replace everything.
They have more money than most countries... They did just buy new stuff.
And thats why they dont have functioning health insurance.
No it isn't. We would save over 40% of the money we currently spend on health insurance if we had a functioning healthcare system, rather than a leech based healthcare system. US citizens currently pay for everyone else's healthcare, and the livelihoods of insurance leeches. We could spend even more on the military if we would implement a properly functioning healthcare system, but that wouldn't make 4 people insanely rich to the point that even literal dragons would ask them why they needed to hoard that much. At least the dragons have a good reason to need all that gold.
Yeah i know the issue is really corruption and uncapped cost of stuff like medicine and standard equipment, but its just fun to make fun of the US. And they definitely do spend too much money on their military.
To police the world so that your country doesn't have to? I'm not big on this policy either, but you benefit from our spending , so your country doesn't have to. You keep the red sea open to shipping, then.
I can't say for certain, but I can say that at least a few upstream O&G companies and at least one downstream O&G company was as of 4 years ago.
