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.

It’s a travesty and should be completely wiped out of existence with the most extreme of prejudice.
We need a Polandball community here on Lemmy.
Yeah, I dunno how I feel about that lol
i'd its the hands and mouth that make it cursed rather than being 3d
Brock Sampson is the embodiment of the US military industrial complex.
The perfect use of a classic Brock Sampson line.
Tbh, the US wouldn't have to do shit. Based on the people I've met and heard about, I'm at least 80% sure that Alaskans jerk themselves to sleep just wishing a bitch would.
Bruh. I know the U.S. probably wouldn't need it, but if that happened, I'm absolutely certain Canada would be right there alongside the Americans to protect that border.
In a different world, it would be interesting if Russia still controlled Alaska.
Canada and the US would have an immense land border with Russia. For centuries the US and Canada have basically only had friendly neighbours, how would it change if there were a land border with a hostile power?
For Russia, what would supply and communications lines be like? As it is, Russia's far east is just barely connected to the main parts of Russia which are all right near Europe. Alaska would extend that across an ocean. OTOH, with the oil in Alaska, maybe it would be relatively heavily populated and relatively rich. Maybe Russia would be a weird country with two big rich provinces, one right next to Europe, one 12 time zones away right next to North America.
The US and Canada haven’t only had borders with friendly countries for centuries. Even as recently as the 19th century, the US was frequently at war either with Canada and the UK, Mexico, or the native Americans in the modern-day Midwest and western US.
The last conflict between Canada and a neighbour (not a rebellion or a conflict vs. natives) was the 1812 war which ended in 1815, more than 2 centuries ago.
The last conflict between the US and a northern neighbour was that 1812 war. In the south it was the Mexican-American war which ended in 1848, 175 years ago.
Internal rebellions, civil wars, and guerilla conflicts don't count as conflicts with neighbours.
I feel like a Russian Alaska would break away sometime during the Russian civil war. Perhaps it would become a Taiwan of sorts or maybe it becomes an autocratic totalitarian shithole like North Korea.
