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.

Cool crib, Sashka, but where did you hang the Supreme Leader's portrait?

[–] [email protected] 44 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

"Damn, Supreme Leader wasn't lying. Compared to this, North Korea is truly the greatest country in the world"

[–] [email protected] 50 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's absolutely insane. They're spoon fed all this propaganda how NK is the best country on Earth and everyone else lives like shit. Then they get deployed to live with Russian soldiers and are immediately proven right.

Kim Jong Un should allow people to leave, but only across the Russian border. They'll come back and convince everyone they know to stay.

So generous of the Russian government to give wounded veterans a whole year's wages!

$750.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Ah yes! But also, the government must get their portion, now you take home $475! Still very generous!

Is that a "g" in supposed Cyrillic, or just a font I don't recognise?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

In cursive Cyrillic that's a the equivalent of letter "d"/д

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Ah, cursive. I'm bad enough at that in English, lol. Thanks.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago

Конечно, товарищ.

The poster says "с Победой!", literally "With the Victory". Most likely relates to the victory in WWII in some way, either awaiting it or congratulating on it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

It would be retrospective, since this is about now. That dovetails with their whole current national myth. Never mind that Ukraine was there fighting the Nazis too.

For anyone else reading, this is how all Russian toasts work AFAIK. "С Новым годом" for celebrating New Years is one I learned pretty early on.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Most likely, considering the context, yes. But there were posters made during WWII with the slogan "Ждем с победой" ("Waiting for [you to return bringing] victory" or something like that. Here's one by Nina Nikolayevna Vatolina, for example, maybe there were more).

But it's not like it really matters lol

TIL. One of my favourite things about Russian is the completely different way they use prepositions and pick important parts of sentences. Honestly it might make more sense than English - why does something happen "on" instead of "in" Monday, if Monday is all around? And articles are dumb, sentence is better without them.
