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.

Please don't sane(ish)-wash Trump's Iran plan. He had the same predictions as Putin that the whole thing would be over by the end of the first week. He just zigged and zagged so hard even the criticisms pretend like it was always supposed to go on longer.
I’m not trying to do any “sane washing” Me no like sane washing and I’m one of the strongest haters of sane washing
As horrible a person as Putin is, at least he had a plan and it might well have worked. He knew that he needed to use ground troops. He sent them directly at Kiev and almost managed to capture it. This was after he'd already captured the Donbas region and Crimea without much effort. His plan was evil, but it wasn't absurd.
My guess is that the Trump admin was informed by Israel that they were going to be bombing stuff in Iran and Trump and Hegseth said "We gotta get some of that glory for ourselves!" and launched strikes without any kind of plan, or analysis, or even a well defined goal.
EVERY war ever started was going to be over in a few days, with an overwhelming victory, and the people welcoming the victors as liberators.
I genuinely do not believe trump knew or cared how long Iran might hold out. Someone near him said “you get money if you attack…” and trump didn’t even wait to hear who. In my headcanon, that’s why Venezuela was taken.
I think that conversation went something a little more like this: "do it or we release the tapes..."
"Bro we're totally winning bro, trust me bro, we just need another 1 trillion USD in missiles bro, trust me bro, this time the regime will totally fall bro, we'll even send troops to ensure that bro, plz bro just 1 trillion USD"
We are using super expensive patriot interceptors and the like to hit cheap drones, and or missiles that cost many times less. To our leaders, milking the federal government for money is a major factor in their decisions, often the guiding one. Although in this case epstein's blackmail is that guiding factor.
Half a million dollars to operate a jet to take out two 7k drones is an actual embarrassment.
At least dragonfire is pretty dope.
That is cool, I know we were developing lasers as well for missile defense, but haven't seen anything about them being used much. It's supposed to be way cheaper, if you ignore depreciation and equipment cost, it's like a dollar or whatever an interception, as opposed to a million dollars or whatever those patriot interceptions cost.
I wonder if they aren't ready or primetime yet, or if the other missile interceptor contractors have the deciders paid off enough to keep using their gear.
This is a Nikola Tesla idea.
Its supposed to be like 5c/shot.
I think the reason we're not seeing these being pushed harder is robotised flack turrets work pretty good at taking out cheap drones.
Stupid fucking losers.
Aww they're like two shit stains in a diaper.
Idiots. Trump couldn’t even learn from Russia’s quagmire. Iran manufacturing drones and missile capacity, Ukraine using drones to attack targets inside Russia, and he didn’t think for a second about US and other infrastructure or bases outside of Iran being targeted. As far as US personnel being killed…that’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make.
The President may or may not have thought they would fall, it's beside the point, as his masters in Israel ordered the holders of the blackmail to tell him it was time. Operation Epstein's Fury had to start, and Israel has been killing anyone the administration has been negotiating with to prevent a peace deal.
Israel will make sure hardliners are in control when the war ends, so they can justify reaching across the border regularly to strike targets for domestic political reasons, that include their population being the thralls of the Israeli versions of Fox News. They are like 80% fucked in the head over there.

Israel has been hit by rockets by Iran's proxy Hezbollah regularly. Israel doesn't want a hard line government in Iran that continues supporting Hezbollah, it is quite simple. No need to invent some tin foil hat justification for Israel.
Who told you that? You are clueless.
Win? Why would a despot care about "winning"? So long as they don't lose a protracted war is a boon.
It's a means of acquiring even more personal wealth and power. It's an excuse to oppress their internal enemies, a distraction from their crimes, and a rallying point for their allies.
Trumps estimate was more realistic.
Wow. Did I just say something positive about Trump?
It's only been 4-5 days on Venus since the start of the special military operation. Still within the working parameters.
5 weeks estimate for Russia vs Ukraine maybe. If Ukraine's first response had been worse.
But think about this: Iran has a pop of 90 mil, the population centres are on the other side of the country, there's only mountains and deserts to trek through and it's two oceans away from USA.
Ukraine is all flat, directly next to Russia and Kyiv could have been reached by the tanks in a day's drive.
