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. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.
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 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. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread 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.

hm. lemme take a look: usa has strongest tank but poor people and is always at war.
switzerland has shit tank but rich people and is never at war.
had.
and they've got defense in depth. artillery covers every inch. Every Swiss man is required to serve in the military or in the alternative civilian service. I suspect they'll be fine.
We won't. We are only safe because we are surrounded by strong friends. Or armed forces are a joke.
Sauce: am Swiss, did military service.
Oh I hadn't heard they removed THE ALPS.
wait, they haven't?
then you still have tons of defense in depth bud. Trading space for time while enemies struggle to overcome MOUNTAINS because you bright lights popped the tunnel entrances gives you time to prep other shit.
sauce: They're still there, right, the Alps? they didn't go away?
This works well against a WWII level enemy, like the fascists in the shithole to the east of Ukraine. Against a modern enemy with USA level technology it won't hold a week, because the alpine bunkers are built to withstand WWII artillery, not modern missiles and stuff.
Yeah, I expect mountains are good defensive terrain even with modern technology, but they don't make you invincible. I don't know what the other guy is going on about.
Oh I forgot you retired your air force. Those F18s would have helped. And your ADA, what with patriot missile batteries, yeah those all sucked good thing you got rid of it.
pffffttt..
mate, I get it, you're prior service from switzerland; I don't think you understand how under/unequipped some countries actually are. And you've got generations of potential defenders who are basic trained and ready to be called up. It's hard to find much credibility in your premise.
Well, thanks for your confidence
hey if it's any consolation, the US is never going to invade fucking switzerland. we have our own mountains and cheese, and you can keep the nazi gold lol
It's almost like there's a middle ground somewhere that they keep swerving around.
