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. 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.

Who would benefit from a false flag operation in Russia? They're already at war with Ukraine.
Russia would. They're claiming it's Ukrainian driven, giving them an excuse to intensify their attack.
25 years ago Putin bombed apartment buildings in Chechnya to give cover for the following actions.
right, but back then appearing stronk and going to war were popular moves, not how it would work now. also elections already happened
unless you mean this false flag as a pretext for withdrawing from ukraine and going all in in afghanistan (again)
They're using it as an excuse to amp up action in Ukraine, it's going to be retaliation for the attacks on the gas infrastructure.
they could use, you know, attacks against refineries as pretext
But Isis claimed responsibility, is russia still saying that it was Ukraine?
Yes they are saying that, but Russia uses the propaganda technique 'firehose of falsehoods'

They're already going all out with missile strikes and throwing battalions of armored assets at the line regularly.
This is to allow them to declare martial law and/or draft more bodies. Assuming it was a false flag, which I doubt.
Wasn't in Chechnya but Buynaksk (in Dagestan), Moscow, and Volgodonsk (in Rostov oblast)
