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.

Land a plane with 56 soldiers to start invasion
56 soldiers dead
The VDV would be proud
I think that's where they got their inspiration
Saint Colonel Piotr would question them about the gap in their resume between landing and dying.
And they were right to try. Trujillo was a monster.
Edit: and also the invasion catalyzed the assassination of Trujillo
Yeah, that's a nasty military failure, but the Cuban communists were not the bad guys in that period, relative to the other powers in Latin America. I don't actually know anything about Trujillo, but I bet I can make good guesses about what kind of leader he was.
He was said to have the best fed sharks in the Caribbean. Political dissidents had a tendency to disappear during his reign.
Wasn't Trujillo housing Batista and supporting his return to power?
Aren't those abysmal numbers to attempt an invasion? Were they banking on overwhelming local support?
Indeed they were. They overestimated it.
Didnt Che try the same bullshit in Colombia or something to similar effect?
Well now I've got Millencolin stuck in my brain, so thanks for that.
