Shitposting about geopolitics, diplomacy, and current events for shits and giggles

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 bad diplomacy 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 elsewhere.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about international diplomacy. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or talk about military tactics or equipment. There are other places for that.

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. Please leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your 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.

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

NonCredibleDiplomacy 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.

She specifically said that she would "never hesitate to take whatever action necessary to protect US interests from Iran," in addition to promising to ensure the US has "the most lethal military in the world."

So what's with the bullshit about it being because she's a woman? Her campaign was horrible, at least trump lied about not starting new wars lol

Americans were starting ww3 regardless of what side they voted for so I kind of understand those who obstained

Almost everyone I know voted for Kamala. I know its popular to shit on the US, but general sweeping statements, especially insults, make you out as an ass. Secondly, your statement fulfills the original definition of 'idiocy' by making incorrect political statements with confidence :/

Why did your party decide it was more important to genocide Palestinians than it was to win?

Shout-out to you for sending Palestinians down the river. Whole load of good that did - for all the blood on your hands.

And still Palestinians died but now the world is unstable, the class divide is unfathomable, at least a million will die from USAID cuts, scientific progress is stiffled, and we're all getting a climate collapse. Good job, you saved Palestine!

Democrats thought it was more important to support genocide than to help fix any of those other issues, which really puts into question their sincerity in actually addressing those other issues.

We used to be a proper country (for the most part).

a colony that through genocide and then slavery became a "country" to later fuck up the rest of the world through wars or conspiracies

still today bombing a country on the other side of the world and threatening to invade at least 2 neighbors

not to forget that the same country, populated by the grand children of the colonizers, are imprisoning the newcomers and their children too

We used to be a proper country (for the most part).

when exactly?

Not sure what op means... Maybe the jan 6 coup? Which technically was more successful than we give it credit for (after all, they're all pardoned, and their guy is in power and unchecked, so...)?

Probably a play on the Iranian revolution meme

parent

[–] mirshafie@europe.pub 11 points 1 month ago*

This is making fun of a Mossad/CIA theme of posts on reddit that hit the frontpage many times over the past years. The format is

Picture of young beautiful woman from an affluent household
Preferably in her pyjamas or in a bikini
Caption "Before the revolution Iran was a very Westernized country"

The point was to manufacture consent for war. Yankee incels in the comments would then thirst for liberating Iranian women and fantasize about getting a piece.
