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.

Well, see, that's the thing, he barely knows. Trump is a child who wants all of the cookies. He also wants everyone else to know that he has all the cookies. And even more he wants to be remembered forever as the guy that got all the cookies.
All his life the guy failed straight into success. It's all seemed easy to him, too, because never once has he faced a consequence.
If he's not stopped, he's going to drop The Bomb on somewhere. I don't even expect the target to make sense, but it will be erased from the map as solidly as Trump's infamy is sealed in the collective memory.
Nice! I'd add that this isn't down to Trump. His handlers are whispering in his ear. I was amazed they didn't have a better hold of him first time, they finally learned how to control the toddler.
In other words, this would never have occurred to him. He's be getting fatter, golfing and grifting if an organized (somewhat) platoon of Wormtongues weren't hinting at what he should do.
Yeah, more and more everyday. I'm getting the feeling that Trump is not necessarily the problem, Trump is just the useful idiot that they are able to easily manipulate. That's why Mamdani was able to so easily sway him, because the man is an idiot and as long as you talk to him the right way you can get him to agree and do whatever you want.
