Making fun of the IDF on Reddit? That's a paddlin'.

[-] nuke@sh.itjust.works 22 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

How is this making fun of the IDF? Seems to me the topic is the Biden administration's arbitrary restrictions on Ukraine.

[-] _stranger_@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

The trick to a good proxy war is that everyone involved has to participate via proxy. Russia broke the rules and now we all have to walk on eggshells.

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 8 hours ago

to be clear, ukraine went ahead and did this anyway. And then the US lifted restrictions on this kind of stuff (idk if it was completely, but they did do it)

It's not really arbitrary, it's just geopolitics being geopolitics, ukraine and the rest of europe showed that russia would bluff, and we're supporting them more now.

I guess it should make sense coming from a partially republican legislature that doesn't even believe in the ukraine war to begin with.

It's about atacms strikes deep (+100km) inside russia, what according to you did they do "anyways"?

[-] psud@aussie.zone 2 points 2 hours ago

They attacked with long range drones rather than American weapons

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

I know, and that has always "been allowed".

Lmao fuck these wars are complicated but there is one simple fact we can agree on

[-] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

I like the cut of your jib

[-] istdaslol@feddit.org 56 points 12 hours ago

Ah yes Ukraine and Israel are both American proxy wars and not totally different conflicts with different politics run by independent countries

[-] TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee 25 points 9 hours ago

I mean…. They’re two totally different conflicts with different politics run by independent countries…. That are also proxy wars being funded by the US and China.

[-] psud@aussie.zone 2 points 2 hours ago

I wonder how Russia feels as the proxy in the fight rather than the supplier of a proxy in the fight

[-] TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee 1 points 1 hour ago

Right? Probably a new position for them.

They’re being supplied and bank rolled by China now

[-] TrousersMcPants@lemmy.world 61 points 11 hours ago

We sure are supporting Israel a lot for it to not be a proxy war though...

[-] leftytighty@slrpnk.net 45 points 11 hours ago

it's not a proxy war they're just using American money and weapons and some American citizen soldiers

[-] Sundial@lemm.ee 11 points 10 hours ago

And America is using that to exert their influence on that region in the world. Sure sounds like a proxy. Just because Israel has more power in American politics compared to Ukraine doesn't mean they aren't a proxy.

I mean, the difference being that the US has a say in how one in conducted, and a very justified interest in it's outcome, while the other is in the Middle East.

Why they are running a proxy war that's out of control and doesn't help anything is a good question, and one that can only have stupid answers.

I was out of the loop

For real though, Biden + his foreign policy and military advisors are gonna win a mental gymnastics competition with this shit

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 27 points 11 hours ago

Biden be like: "Come here, anything for you haBiBi"

Biden is a simp to Netanyahu.

[-] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 6 points 10 hours ago

Drag hears that Biden even does Netanyahu's laundry

[-] coyootje@lemmy.world 119 points 17 hours ago

The American reaction in the second frame should've been: cool, here's more weapons.

[-] mayo@lemmy.world 64 points 17 hours ago

Wow very juicy. In Syria, but still.

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 53 points 15 hours ago

"There are no russians in Syria!"

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. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

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 ‘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. Put these in weekly Matrix chat 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.

11. No misinformation

NCD 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.
