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.

I kept reading that as "Pilates don't cheat" and I was so confused.
Wait….
~Palates… oh, sense of taste. Goddamnit. 😂~
I cheat at pilates.
And so did Pilate.
America must be returned to its rightful owners: the Italians.
Thought it was the Spanish.
It's 50/50
"Italy took the fucking kids!"
Italy was not a country for the first 90ish years of the United States.
Taiwan (officially the Republic of China) definitely does think of itself as Chinese. The part they disagree with is the "People's Republic" part, not the "China" part.
Not so much "Part of China" but "The only real China"
Well, the government does. The young generation of Taiwan doesn't really, they don't wanna fuck with this whole "who's the real china" ordeal and just be Taiwan
Hmmm
But how many British restaurants are there in India?
restaurants
I think the word you're looking for here is "pub."
Or anywhere really
About 2600 in the US alone 
Uk Indian food tho
India has always been part of Britannia, one day the faithful will be brought back into the fold.
Countries around Italy noticing the amount of pizza places they have: 👀
McD always mentioned as reference for USA's fast food culture, but growing up abroad i noticed KFC was the first one to show up, and in some places decades ahead
It helps that KFC is actually good outside the US.
If it good inside the US? I haven't been to one since I was a small child
It hasn't been good inside the US for over a decade at least.
probably closer to 3.. decades, that is.
Rip, good to know lol
It’s a simple process and it depends on the store tbh.
A good cook means good fried chicken.
it’s so easy to do right, but it’s even easier to fuck it up.
I've had it twice ever. Tasted ok-ish, but I had the shits the next morning both times, don't really want to try again.
It's one of the few places I can get fast food from when I'm in a calorie deficit, which is insane because it's still chicken covered in carbs and fried in oil lol
There are several KFCs in my city.
Welp, I guess Scotland support of Kentucky now. Good luck Kentucky, we are your problem and the republicans are not going to like us.
It would probably be hilarious if Mainland China was part of Kentucky, specifically.
Like if it was California that would be lame.
But in a situation like the old kingdoms X modern states in Europe have it today.
China is a semi-autonomous community of the crown/colonel hat of Kentucky but not a part of the republic of USA.
Real colonizer energy. One of the benefits of central planning and long terms in power is that influence that takes time, becomes viable, like cultural erasure, rewriting of history and the generational impact of intentional cultural narratives.
China is a collection of conquered people's with their own languages, traditions and history that stretch far beyond even the first colonialist Qin unification, a unification accomplished at the tip of a sword, with blood and violence. None of those conquered people ever chose to be labeled Chinese by their conquerors. They were forced into servitude.
That's how most countries were built, even England. #WessexIndependence
Same as any state. States can only be created and perpetuated through violence.
Oh, come on...
It's not JUST violence. You also need nationalistic brainwashing and cultural erasure.
And none of us got a say in any of it. Only democracies even have the illusion of choice.
every place is America except for LA, which is Mexikorea.
Conquistador lineage be conquistadoring.
did anyone else see that thing abt how the Colonel was actually an asian man? i can't stop thinking about it
