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.

Tough question, defend my homeland from the historic genociders trying to finish the job and end up drone bombing senile old men glued onto mules to form human wave cavalry charges is my ancestral duty. Then again the option to sit around in the beautiful france countryside and wait in a bush near the fake mcdonalds for americans.

Since its the north of France, I gotta say eastern fronts work from home is more attractive.

I'm a manufacturing engineer specialized in machining exotic alloys and complex parts, even though I have changed career a few years ago I have experience in manufacturing complex military parts.

So I would probably be in a factory trying to produce as much military equipment as possible.

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

Kind of same, I would get send back to H&K most likely

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 3 points 17 hours ago

Don't forget the two fronts the US would be fighting across the Atlantic.
Maybe 3 if those with interests in the Pacific get involved.

[–] vane@lemmy.world 4 points 19 hours ago

The one with warm weather.

[–] obinice@lemmy.world 40 points 1 day ago

You've already got my region of England highlighted, so there I suppose! I could work from home xD

[–] jrs100000@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If your a civilian you want to be on the US front, if your a soldier you want to be on the Russian front.

[–] Spzi@lemm.ee 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It seems most people get it, but I don't - Care to explain?

[–] bigboismith@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago (7 children)

Americans are better at following the laws of war, but are also more efficient at waging war.

What would Russia want with Vosges I wonder. To answer your question, probably Belgium. At least I can contemplate death with a good beer sliding down my oesophagus.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well, since my whole country is already coloured Red, i'm guessing there's not a lot of choice.

[–] iopq@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Had to check if Dutch or Russian

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago

Well, technically, there's a small part of Limburg that remains free, but since we don't really consider that area part of the country, it still counts.

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I’m disabled so I can’t fight.

But if I could, I would want to be on the Jura, holding up the Advance that seems to be nearing Basel, Switzerland.

I did after all train as an alpine soldier durning my military training. So I think I’d enjoy mountaineous terrain the most.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

It really bugs me that I'm "in the same boat", actually.

Like, if they needed a guy to just man a watchtower or something I'd volunteer the shit out of that. I'm pretty powerless when it comes to other things though.

Britain needs to ramp up their navy again! BRITANIA RULE THE WAVES ONCE MORE!

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 11 points 1 day ago (8 children)

Wake up the Dutch and Spanish too

[–] EmoDuck@sh.itjust.works 4 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Oh no, we were too loud and woke up Belgium too. Quick Congo, run and hide!

[–] BigBrainBrett2517@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

Made me laugh

I guess US. More likely to get blown up, but at least the weather is nicer.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 20 points 1 day ago (10 children)

This map forgets that the US have direct access to bases in NATO countries.

Trump could just send troops in the open to the bases, and then turn around on the local forces.

US taking over NATO countries will not be a Normandie style sea landing, they would break out of our own bases having disabled them first.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 1 day ago

And they have a kill switch for a lot of NATO tech

[–] taladar@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

People coming up with scenarios like that forget that the US would have huge supply lines to keep those bases going while the other country is literally right there. And it is not as if you would need to besiege a modern military base for months to starve them out.

[–] ricecake@sh.itjust.works 2 points 21 hours ago

While it's inaccurate to pretend the US would just steamroll the EU in a land war in the EU, we also shouldn't pretend like the bases wouldn't be problematic. Everywhere the US operates requires huge supply lines, so it's not the absolute deal breaker it would be for most nations.
Starting with places to land and manage supplies would be a big advantage.
The biggest issue would be that usually they use the bases to house troops during the lengthy process of getting them into place for deployment, so there would be a lot of questions about how to actually move the people over fast enough, but getting the supplies there would be relatively routine.

There's no way the US could take or hold Europe without an aggreable civilian population. Given the differences in expenditures, military size, experience, and developed tools and logistics there's also no real way any European nation is going to be able to effectively stop them. Basically a significantly worse Vietnam type situation, from the perspective of both sides.

Romanians be like: at the beginning or at the end of the war?

[–] peregrin5@lemm.ee 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Are they fighting each other or just hitting all of Europe in a pincer movement?
