The Scandinavians are good at long-term planning, and also aware that it will be far cheaper to defeat Russia in Ukraine than in, say, Finland or Poland in 5-10 years’ time.
Also, isn't Norway entire military basically designed to counter Russian invasions?
Edit: Nope. I was thinking of Finland and how they keep an absurdly massive military due to previous Russian occupation.
Norway is a founding member of NATO and due to its geography guarding the sea passage around the northern edge of Europe against ruzzian and other navies.
Norway's military is designed to detect a Russian invasion as soon as possible with the help of Nordic ~~human shield~~ allies, Sweden and Finland. On detection of an invasion force the plan is to immediately flee the country and go hang out with the Scots to drink good stuff while looking longingly across the North Sea.
They'll take back St Petersburg.
Wouldn't it be funny to mask pro Russian media posts as peace posts?
As much as I am pro peace, in this day and age it is really hard to act pro peace without having the doubt of (in this case) supporting Russia.
Pro Ukraine all the way! Fuck Russia <3 <3
Pro piece. Blasting russia into pieces. 😎
The true legacy of Alfred Nobel lives on.
I was thinking more like Carl Gustav
Poltava part 2 - this time it's personal.
To be fair last time Russia and Sweden had a real war, Sweden and their ally Ukraine lost the Poltava battle, which led to ousting of Hetman Mazepa and King Charles of Sweden into Ottoman empire.
Hope it will go better this time.
Also to be fair, that was 300 years ago.
BAH GAWD KING! THAT’S A VIKING HORN BLOWING!
NonCredibleDefense
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.
