I love that billions of dollars keeps falling out of the couch cushions at the pentagon.
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.

Slava Ukraini,
Hopefully they will send some ATACMS while they are at it.
At this point, PrSM will be available by the time the US decides to send longer range GMLRS rockets.
Sigh.
And those are just the accounting errors we know about. Imagine how many "errors" cover the really expensive stuff, like Dulce Base in New Mexico, the secret space force stuff that Pvt. Potato crashed into the ISS and the stuff under Denver International Airport. I'm thrilled. Really.
what happened now?
US overestimated the cost of the weapons they were sending to Ukraine, meaning they can now send more.
that's the old one, this is the new one https://www.reuters.com/world/us/pentagons-ukraine-accounting-error-revised-up-62-billion-2023-06-20/
ohhh shiii hahahah
it happened once, but did it happen egain?
Accounting error means the US thought it spent 6 fucking billion dollarydoos more than it actually did on Ukraine aid, which means it now gets to actually spend that extra 6 billion on Ukraine aid.
The most hilarious part is nobody could ever tell if they really did or if it's just an excuse to spend more money.
