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.

Reminds me of the latest Adam Something video. Russians are raised from birth with ridiculous amounts of "Russia Fuck Yeah" that's just pure triple distilled victory porn, and posts like that are the consequence.
You should check out some American movies. Those are also pretty wild
My favourite line from any of the Grand Theft Auto games is from a radio ad for some movie that ends with "Rated PG for Patriotic Garbage"
Exploder! Vice City radios were the best.
Hello, DoubleCleff FM is calling:
A little opera, just for-a change-a in American with an Italian accent

As an American, American jingoism in films does make me laugh. Like we are the only ones who can save the world.
Does Russia have films like that?
Well, there's books like that. The idea seems to be that the problem with Nazis wasn't the whole genocide thing, but rather the fact that they invaded Russia. So let's do this: go back in time with modern equipment, ally with Hitler, and march on London and bomb Washington.
jingo unchained
Start from American movies, then add a bunch of historical rewriting and fighting Nazis everywhere and you're getting close to Russian level movies from what I've heard.
Like that the US basically saved Europe and singlehandedly beat the Nazis?
Just watch T-34. It's pure Russia propaganda. That being said, it was a fun movie
As a non-American, how is that any different from America?
Many big countries are basically the same, with the belief that their armed forces are "the best", with hours of pop propaganda around how their marines or special ops are the best in the world.
Well as s non american I feel it's quite simple : the USA has an incredible potent war machine, so if their citizens think they have an incredible army, then they are more or less quite correct.
Russians on the other hand just smokes copium and have fever dreams.
It's true for military stuff but false for many many things that they'd still insist is the best way to handle things. Mass shootings is an anomaly that's completely normalized there, sometimes it's not even worth a media footnote.
And there's a strange thing about shooting presidents every once in a while
Continue to smoke your copium.
What about that is copium, mass shootings, having a wide spread poverty and political violence isnt a good thing and should be talked about and fixed
You're not wrong. Americans have a lot of "America fuck yeah!" energy going on, the difference really would be that when we break from that mentality and start going "what the fuck America?" we don't get arrested and put in jail or forcibly conscripted into a war we didn't ask for.
From what I can tell, America has better access to alternative viewpoints and the ability to express them largely without fear.
Defenetly not germany. Last few times they were like that, the world stamped it out.
Yeah, when germans are proud about their army it's if a tank can be loaded on a semi using it's own engine power.
Or Chinese, or Americans..
To be fair, the same dan be said for Americans.
