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. 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.

While leading the 39th Army Group of the National Revolutionary Army, he planned to defect to the Japanese, but before he could do so he was kidnapped and buried alive by his sworn brother and subordinate Gao Shuxun, who later gained command of Shi's unit.
Fingers crossed I'll never be involved with any live burials
Being buried alive, piranhas, quicksand, "stop drop and roll", the Bermuda Triangle - all things I feared growing up and thought would be more relevant.
BT is waiting, waiting, she is dormant not defeated
The BT is funny up until you learn the truth behind it.
Alien mega Nazis?
No, it's just a big zone with a lot of maritime and aerial traffic, so of course there is going to be more inciein that place.
It's actually more of a rhombus.
Yes, and it's not just "I don't want to be buried alive", I also don't want to be standing there watching it either. No thanks
"hey, how do you punish infanticide where you're from? Here we bury the woman in between two layers of thorns, then have the executioner jump on the ground on top."
I love that his bro was down for any treason but the IJA.
Before the end of WWII, Japan was not well regarded in Asia, they were warlords and colonists pillaging the mainland whenever they could for centuries.
It's a bit more specific than that. These were all Chinese warlords that ended up (mostly) banding together against the Japanese invasion of China in 1937 that was, imo, the actual start of WW2.
The atrocities commited during the invasion can not be understated. Bro was just playing the game beforehand, that was a step too far for anyone with a soul.
I learned it from watching you!
Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, can't, uh, can't get fooled again.
Fool me one time, shame on you
Fool me twice, can't put the blame on you
Fool me three times, fuck the peace sign
Load the chopper, let it rain on you
Shake it three times
You're playing with yourself
Look at that face, he is not sorry
Of course not...he lived.
China during this era was not a simple time to stay alive if you were politically relevant. You're damn right. Look at his face. Zero regrets.
According to this Lemmy thread, he actually got caught and buried alive by his sworn brother at the end, because 6 betrayals is one thing but 7 is another, I guess.
(And also, it was the fascist Japanese)
Reminded of the scene from Rocketeer, where the mob boss declares "I may be a crook but I'm 100% American!" before opening fire on the Nazi spy.
thr man yes manned (into defection several times) and somehow made it out alive. quite a feat.
You’d think after the third time his reputation would carry. Guess not though, lol
You think anyone checks references?
They looked just close enough to go "He's got the experience" and moved on.
Yeah they should have just checked his LinkedIn page
It’s right here on the guy’s Wikipedia page, you’d think they’d at least Google him
Are.... Are you joking?
Google wasn't around back then.
They would have had to use something like infoseek or aliweb
SMH my head, people just don't know their history
It's not like the web was around back then either ya doofus, what year do you think we're talking about here?
Back in those times the would have been at best using something like Veronica, or just trawling Usenet asking if people know him
Carrying around a big stack of Encyclopedia Britannicas to verify whether my boss is going to betray me
“I promise I changed baby, I’m not that person anymore. What you and you and I have is special”
Reminds me of this gigachad

An athenian general who then defected to Sparta and then defected to Persia(and then kinda went back to Athens). All while fucking everyones wives.
Honestly it is shocking there hasnt been a movie about him.
I always chose the romance options in Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Because as they say, Greeks invented the orgy, the Romans then brought in women.
Also Lauri Törni
From Finland to nazi Germany and to USA
What did they expect from a guy called "see you soon".
If he'll cheat with you, he'll cheat on you.
TBF, that was a fighting between warlords period. The people he betrayed were no more loyal than him.
Feng Yuxiang betrayed Wu Peifu, following Zhang Xueliang's advice. Zhang later surrendered to Chiang Kai-Shek himself. So it was basically everyone trying to grab any opportunity.
A toast to the troops! All the troops....both sides!
All sides!
I don't know why but this has Lu Bu energy to it.
Can't wait for the year 3000 when we get a Dynasty Warriors about this
Chiang Kai-shek the only one with a purple link.
A store clerk: appears to consult me on what to buy
Me: Man, can't you see? I'm just browsing.
Also me: puts X down to take Y, but then puts Y and takes X, repeatedly
And if you ever get close to him? ...... he'll betray you, too.
Shares a room with Talleyrand in the afterlife.
