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.

Japan isn’t actually demilitarized, they have gundams under the mountains.

Everyone knows this.

They also have a so called coastguard that is bigger than most countries navy.

Idk if the wording of "peace in the Taiwan straight" accurately describes an "intervention in armed conflict with full military force" but I'm all for it if it means even the mere notion helps prevent further escalation in the region.

It’s a nice meme but their population is turning geriatric, and they’re literally unable to pass any policies to make the birth rate go up.

population is turning geriatric

So… the Japanese will not only fight China, but that's going to be the very same Japanese that invaded China last time?

Hey wait a minute, that isn't PLA07 Desert pattern. This shit post is a phony.

with frens

I think this needs an asterisk, pretty sure South Korea and the Philippines would be happy if Japan and China somehow simultaneously destroyed each other.

Edit: astrix to asterisk. Sorry, English isn't my first language. I mean it's been my primary for nearly 30 years, but it's still a bitch sometimes.

The average SK citizen doesn't really hate the Japanese, they just want their damn artifacts back. After all, it's difficult to say the largest instantaneous loss of life in human history wasn't punishment enough.

I think you'd be surprised, we've been hating the Japanese since the 1600s.

After all, it's difficult to say the largest instantaneous loss of life in human history wasn't punishment enough.

Up to 30k Koreans being used as slave labour were killed in the atomic blast.... We don't typically see that as squaring everything away, especially considering the modern Japanese government is made up of the children of war criminals who continue denying their parents many crimes against humanity.

Yeah a lot of people might not be aware just how heinous Japans actions were in The Second Sino-Japanese War (the Chinese War of Resistance) in the lead-up to Asias involvement in WWII.

The Rape of Ninjing and Unit 731 are just two of the atrocities we know of.

Implying that Japan is now "back for more" and with frens this time is indeed pretty dark.

You mean Japans Gamer moment that was even too much for the fucking SS?

They have a navy but it operates as an arm of the US Military, more or less. There are 23 US Military Bases in Japan with 53,973 troops or about a third of the USA's deployed troops worldwide.

I don't see any gundams. I'm calling fake.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Kinda. They do have fun stuff like a cruiser that has a flat deck and carries aircraft, not an aircraft carrier (!!!), a cruiser. And they have been rearming the last two years as it becomes clear their neighbors might need a stick, or at least the threat of one.
