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.

Hello yes I am a sane individual and can be trusted to buy a used, stripped down f-16 fighter jet. I promise I will not do anything bad with my f-16 fighter jet.
The Founding Fathers fought the commies so you wouldn't have to settle for "stripped down"
Doesn’t the USAF have its own small navy as well?
Doesn't PepsiCo have its own small navy as well?
You might have them confused with Chiquita
Typical soda whataboutism
WHO ARE YOU WORKING FOR
Pepsi?
"In a bizarre agreement, Russia sold Pepsi 17 submarines, a frigate, a cruiser, and a destroyer in 1989 to keep soda flowing into its citizens’ mouths. With all this firepower, Pepsi indirectly became the sixth largest naval fleet in the world."
They sold it all as scrap metal
Not any more, and what they bought was scrap.
US Army has a shit-ton of boats. Navy, afaik, none.
Russia's total might need updating.
Left out how the Navy has its own Army, and that army is larger than any individual army in Europe, e.g. the French have 120k while the USMC is 180k strong
The navy has its own air force and it's better than the actual air force
Debatable. You make a lot of tradeoffs to operate on a carrier.
Where can one find this list? I wanna go from the bottom and see how fast I find my country
Thanks. Why did I even look we are not on the list anyway.
Like Barbados? Just a Cesna 180 and dude with a Glock18.
AINT NOBODY FUCKIN WITH THAT DUDE
How did they get an A-10 successor before it's been revealed to the public?
Well, the Russians actually had a full 10 more than that when OP started drawing the meme.
