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. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.

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 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. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread 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.

Putin's Journal, Day 897 of the Three Day Special Military Operation: we are defending against the second armored drive of the war through our country in the direction of our capital.

Surprisingly, Ukraine invading Russia back is actually something I had thought about, and I'm certain it's been talked about on one of the NCDs.

It would be absolutely hilarious if they seized a bunch of territory, and used it as a bargaining chip to get their own territory back.

Tbh it’s far from the worst strategy

Semi-credibly, I'm watching to see if the offensive pivots east to cut off attackers north of Kharkiv, but it seems like they went over the border along ways away from that area if that was their goal.

What could they invade that would be worth more than Crimea? Moscow?

[–] erin@lemmy.sidh.bzh 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I would say a peninsula for a peninsula: Ukraine should takes Kola Peninsula and the whole russia nuclear arsenal there and trade it for crimea ^^. Admiral Kuznetzov do so much smoke that russia would never see Ukraine army coming :P.

[–] Hazzia@infosec.pub 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Or - and hear me out - they take Kola Peninsula, don't trade it for Crimea, and just keep taking Russian territory until all of the Russian logistics fail completely, reclaim all the Russian-occupied territory, and then keep taking more territory

[–] erin@lemmy.sidh.bzh 3 points 1 month ago

or I have one better: Ukraine takes Kola peninsula, give it to finland in exchange for NATO membership and boom, NATO enter in the war to takes east of russia before the chinese (since the west would in control of Ukraine in order to get the Kola Peninsula) ^^

If Ukraine were in Civ, what would their special units and abilities be? I'm thinking 50% production costs for anti-tank units and 5% production bonus per city for each trade route to an ally when someone declares war on you.

[–] OttoVonNoob@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Some sort of Drone, discount to drones. For each other nation who denounced your enemy10% production cost, -%10 gold cost. When fighting on friendly tiles +10% defense. As there drones are winning the war and their defense against a army 10 times bigger is nuts.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

What if putting a drone on an anti-tank unit gives it a ranged attack?
