Or!! We don't buy US weapons. We build more factories for weapons, create more jobs and boost our economies and get less unemployment?
No, you don't understand, sending money abroad will strengthen our ties with our ~~enemy~~ ally and the money will fly over then rain down on us!
Janan Ganesh is politically confused and repeats whatever the wind blows in his direction to make people listen to his self perceived centre based smartness. He's not as centre as he thinks or likes to portrait himself.
First he was against Brexit, then he was for a hard Brexit, then he critiziced Brexit.
These profound "insights" are always presented without any introspection. There's no such thing as "compassionate conservatives". That's just a fool who acts like a mouth piece for the right wing.
Financial Times is just another mouthpiece for the ultra-rich and uber-wealthy.
agreed but if i may quibble over a word, i don't think this is coming out they mouths
Interestingly, at the height of the cold war we had the highest military spendings, but at the same time our social security systems were in a better position and housing was affordable . So I say: Let's increase welfare spending and lower the housing prices in order to get a better funded military.
well yeah. cutting those social programs might make people learn what communism really is
This guy is as credible as a Nigerian residing in London... oh wait
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.
