A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo 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.

I've been using this quote for a while now.

The history of Russia can be broken down into five little words.

"And then...it got worse."

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 34 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They have spent the last century 1 step forward; two back. Which it's hard to say if it's an improvement on the century prior or not.

They really should just turn around and embrace being backwards, it would really make it all simpler.

well not 3rd but 2nd since Shoigu has decided to enter the russian guiness book by becoming the best at russian national sport: window skydiving without parachute

[–] hydroptic@sopuli.xyz 22 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I read your comment and was like "oooh what did I miss?! Did Shoigu get defenestrated?" Imagine my disappointment when it turned out he hasn't taken flight yet

When is the last time someone saw 'ol Sergei anyhow?

[–] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago

Keep hope alive.

[–] erin@lemmy.sidh.bzh 6 points 3 months ago

arf I mixed my dream with reality, I was not talking about Shoigu but Prigozhin ><

[–] Rade0nfighter@lemmy.world 36 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Would be even funnier if it said second best in Russia, no need to complicate it.

[–] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 28 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Well,there's Wagner, who are probably loitering on a street corner, kicking dogs and watching Seagal clips on their phones.

[–] Cipher22@lemmy.world 22 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Wagner was moved under the Russian regular military after the failed coop. So they're technically one entity now. (Not that there was ever much of a difference, it's just less now. )

[–] Zoidsberg@lemmy.ca 23 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Nothing worse than a failed coop. Chickens everywhere.

[–] fuckingkangaroos@lemm.ee 10 points 3 months ago

SHOIGUUUUU!!! WHERE ARE MY EGGS!!

[–] Cipher22@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

This is funny, so I'm leaving my mistake

[–] spamfajitas@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Are the Chechen counted as part of the Russian Military or separate?

[–] Cipher22@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

The command structure is what determines separate forces, do the Chechen forces answer to the same command structures? I know from US coalition operations that the foreign forces answer to their own NCO/Officer Corp. Typically, through to the region level and have their own rules and regulations separate from the other nation forces, often operating from their own bases and really only coordinating at the colonel level or above.

To my understanding, the Chechen forces are barely allowed their own officers at the unit level, much less anything higher. I'm far from an expert on that, though, and may be wrong. If true, I wouldn't separate them, if false, maybe, as much as the separation of NATO forces in Afghanistan.

Sure, but it works better the other way.
