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.

Yeah, it's not like any of those NK soldiers are ever coming home. Imagine what would happen if, say, the 2000 surviving soldiers of the 20k they sent got back, and tell everyone how in wartorn ukraine, things are WAY better than in Glorious North Korea.
If any of them get into actual combat then they're gonna get turned into dog food. They have no experience and Putin absolutely only wants them as cannon fodder so he doesn't have to do more unpopular domestic recruiting.
Russian doctrine has plenty of room for literal cannon fodder.
Uh, I know the community likes to meme about peasant hovels and parasite infections and such but they won't be living with Ukrainians, they'll be chilling with Russian conscripts, will they be able to tell a difference?
Things in Russia might not be great, but they're not on the same level as North Korea by far.
NK is genuinely quite successful at isolating its population, Russia is not. Russian living conditions aren't horrible, they don't experience famine and such, etc. They have internet, and many of them that are otherwise not technically inclined seem very well versed in how to evade the state censorship and control of communication. Other day I was playing D&D with some Russian friends when they started blocking Discord in Russia, and we figured out a workaround within the hour and within a day they had Discord working again, and these guys aren't otherwise heavily inclined to towards computer shit. They're above average level of user knowledge, but they've become knowledgeable in this very specific area.
From what my Russian friends say and I gather from their descriptions, it's a lot like Republicans here; the ones that support Putin and the current government are doing it in spite of obvious evidence they have no trouble seeing.
Now I would assume they'll isolate these North Koreans quite a bit, the language barrier will prevent them from talking to the average Russian and so on. The ones they bring home, for domestic propaganda purposes, will be the most loyal, willing to go on with whatever story they're told to tell about their experiences.
Sure, but they have eyes, and they can see the town they occupy/pass through are miles ahead of their NK subsistence-farming village.
Idk, what are the people going to do about it? It's not like anyone actually leaves the work camps...
