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.

What I'd love to see is all the nations who've had territory seized by Russia over the last century or so take it back, all at once.
Japan, Finland, Georgia and whoever I've missed all say "OK, Now!", and China gets in on the action just for fun.
Russia would be so incredibly pissed off.
Yes, this would be the ideal - then Poland and Lithuania can share Kaliningrad.
A free Crimea... Transnistria free of putin's bullshit...
Vladivostok returned to Yongmingcheng ...
Kaliningrad belongs to the Germans...
At the moment it belongs to the russians but if Germany can make a good argument and pay off the neighbors, sure why not
The russians wiped it clean after the second world war, so there's not really anything left Form the times as Königsberg.
Seeing how much struggle it was to reintegrate the former GDR, I say 'No, thank you'
so leave it to the russians? or make it an independent state?
How about some kind of extrajudicial disneyland?
Like a special assassins' hotel. Just have a good time and chill out there. No "work" allowed.
If they wait 50 years they can annex it through a personal union, though it will lead to a temporary happiness drop with their other vassals
Putin and Xi will have to have a cute little wedding first 🥰
If Xi gets his diplo rep nice and high it might be quicker to just inherit Russia on his death though
That would be funny especially since Putin looks like Piglet
I would just laugh.
Sure, it would be criminal and shit, but when has russia last cared about any of that UN funnyspeak?
Bon apetit, China.
I do feel for the Mongolians, though. They might be a casualty as the border expansion progresses.
I think that it is unlikely that China will do this.
I think that it is more-likely that Beijing will seek to dominate Russia, not to conquer it. China has a 2023 GDP of $17 trillion, Russia of $2 trillion. Russia has ensured that it has to rely on China for various things for at least some time. China doesn't need to invade to see increasing influence in Russia moving forward.
https://jamestown.org/program/russias-fiscal-dependence-on-china-grows/
- As Western sanctions increasingly isolate Russia, it has become highly dependent on China for trade and economic support, particularly in energy exports sold at discounted prices.
- China has capitalized on Russia’s isolation by expanding its investments and economic influence within Russia, with Chinese companies increasing their share of Russian market participation. This economic relationship shows an imbalance, with China benefiting from favorable trade terms.
- Western sanctions and the war in Ukraine have deeply impacted Russia’s economy, as seen in the weakening ruble, increasing reliance on China, and signs of Russia potentially becoming a subordinate economic partner to China rather than an equal.
That's maybe not as evocative as the image of Chinese tanks rumbling into Russia, but I think that it's probably a much more realistic geopolitical issue for Russia.
A century or so of humiliation, you might say
