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.

Having read that book has caused me so many déjà-vus the last few years.

Right now would be the perfect moment for a Red Storm Rising movie adaptation with a modernized russian setup, can some call hollywood plz

[–] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 24 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Not credible, in the book the Russian navy is actually competent

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 7 points 7 months ago

And the army too.

Someone should rewrite the Clancy books with a realistic Soviet military. They'd be shorter, but funnier.

That's why it's fiction...

a Red Storm Rising movie adaptation

This being one of my absolute favorite military fiction novels, I very much fear Hollywood screwing it up. At the same time, I'd love to see a miniseries, maybe directed by Ridley Scott.

After seeing what they did to tom clancys with out remorse in hollywood....its a risky wish for a movie adaptation

[–] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago

"Sum of All Fears" was just bayd....Ben Affleck tightening his jaw and looking vacant, yet grim in some hospital where his girlfriend was doing her residency. That's all I can remember about it. Morgan Freeman? Maybe?

So much of the wold has changed since '86. The Sovs only attacked NATO because they thought the surprise action would get them to an immediate stalemate that would allow them to steamroll the oil producing countries in the middle east. I can't imagine any aggressor that could hope to hold an active-conflict stalemate with NATO period. Except maybe the US. Who's gonna write the script for a rogue-state US fighting NATO?

I'll just wait a few years and then look out of my window.
