NonCredibleDefense
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.

Numbah one rule of remaining a dictator: never leave your country for any reason. Send your family and retainers on a "vacation" with bearer bonds, bags of cocaine and uncut diamonds, but don't leave.
After few years of nothing particularly happening in Syria, SDF and SNA/HTS got a truce and advanced like 45km against SAA, taking Aleppo in three days and stopping only just before Hama. Now we also have HTS, who have Turkish support, encircling Kurdish area near Tal Rifat, and just today (news from last hour) they negotiated that Kurds from this area can go unimpeded to Rojava. This all while Assad sat in Moscow until today, and according to rumors his family is abroad still.
As of yesterday, large scale war crimes hasn't happened yet, and civilians were relatively spared too, with only reports of police (on SAA side) shooting protesters in Damascus and civilian casualties from Russian bombing (requested by SAA). Today however, it looks like HTS will try to forcefully resettle Kurds from Tal Rifat enclave, and just because Assad gets weaker doesn't mean that things will get better because HTS are islamists, with many coming from jihadist groups specifically
Also, Iran may have sent ragged bands of "militia" to "support" Syria's ruling regime out of existence.
Rebels took Aleppo, which is kind of a big deal
No one is an expert on the Syrian Civil War. I bet most of the time even the generals don't know who are their allies and adversaries for the day.
here you have simplified chart
Hope this helps! It wasn't like this last week, and it's depreciated since yesterday
I nominate this guy for Syrian Civil War expert
