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.

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...

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago (3 children)

At the moment it belongs to the russians but if Germany can make a good argument and pay off the neighbors, sure why not

[–] spechter@lemmy.ml 14 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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'

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (3 children)

so leave it to the russians? or make it an independent state?

[–] spechter@lemmy.ml 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

How about some kind of extrajudicial disneyland?

Like a special assassins' hotel. Just have a good time and chill out there. No "work" allowed.

4th baltic state.

[–] Alpha71@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

I could be a protected site like Berlin was during the cold war.

[–] Geobloke@lemm.ee 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Sorry, it used to be called Konigsberg under Germany, but i think Russia took it under control following world war 2.

I just wonder how long the country russia expects to own some random chunk of the baltic coast that they're not connected to ethnically, historically or geographically lol....

I feel the same way about diego garcia / uk / us.

Who was living in the Chagos Islands prior to European arrival?

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Who was living in the Chagos Islands prior to European arrival?

literally searched your query into duckduckgo - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chagos_Archipelago

The Chagos Islands had been home to the Chagossians, a Bourbonnais Creole-speaking people, until the United Kingdom expelled them from the archipelago at the request of the United States between 1967 and 1973 to allow the United States to build Naval Support Facility Diego Garcia, a military base on Diego Garcia, on land leased from the UK military in the British Indian Ocean Territories. Since 1971, only the atoll of Diego Garcia has been inhabited, and only by employees of the US military, including American civilian contracted personnel. Since being expelled, Chagossians, like all others not permitted by the UK or US governments, have been prevented from entering the islands.

Read more of the Wikipedia article, you almost literally made it to the part where no one was living there prior to European arrival.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

ok, great, you asked a question you already had the answer to....?

what the fuck do you want man?

prior to European arrival.

anyway, why does that matter? before, after, the brits moved them away from the place for colonial reasons. think the brits and americans have more claim to it because of that? lol get bent

[–] Chiarottide@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

I had heard that the german constitution bans annexations, but have looked it up and found nothing. Did I just make it up?
