china is the best at making the usa look way cooler than it is
We always wish we're as good as our opponent's propaganda
I mean, that's a kinda-lovable looking Darth Vader.
Here's a Danish Nazi poster that has America as a four-armed giant. Two of the arms are black, and one is carrying a noose. There's a Klu Klux Klan hood on his head. One hand is wielding a record via which America spreads culture. Another a bag of money with a Jewish guy hanging on the back. The upper torso is a cage with two black people dancing the jitterbug in it. One arm, in a prison sleeve and with a dangling manacle, is carrying a Thompson submachine gun single-handed. One arm is playing a drum, which makes up the lower torso. There's a beauty pagent leg, and the other is a big industrial tube dropping a bomb, presumably representing American industrial munitions output. Despite pre-dating NCD by about seventy years, it's got aircraft wings and two scantily-clad women, one blowing a trumpet and the other waving an American flag, resting on the shoulders. And a Jewish crotch-flap.
Italy had a propaganda poster with a kilometer-high skeletal Statue of Liberty.
Ah yes, the power to... defend against attacks from other nations. Such evil.
For anyone who isn't aware, there are no provisions in the NATO charter for cooperative offensive actions. None. NATO is not a military alliance, it is a defensive pact only.
Yeah but arent you gonna attack me when I defensively invade some sovereign country?!!
Checkmate
\s
Well we don't live in a video game so we can use NATO to attack, like with Libya. It's our alliance, we'll do what we want!
He is Justice, not as Justice as others but still respectable.
In difference to china wich is best described as this:
Little did they realize that America thought this was awesome. Cringey but awesome.
Not sure why the North Atlantic matters to China.
Liberty Prime Knows Why.
Ah yes, Darth Vader, known for how unpopular and unlikable he is.
... I don't think you're supposed to like Darth Vader in the way you're implying.
Honestly? Love it.
Man, I hate being part of the greatest military alliance known to mankind. Suffering from success!
Bro darth vader is fucking lit, like i know hes supposed to the villain. But like the first time you see him in star wars, he legit is wipeing a rebel ship. Also james earl jones was lit as shit, and a really nice person. So like congrats china? You made america look more metal?? Great propaganda, but not for china LMAO
Bro stop stealing the credit from those poor stormtroopers
How can we be sure that isn't Liberia?
It's got one star. Doubtless one of Liberia:
Chile
...or Texas.
Or possibly Puerto Rico
The empire was always a depiction of the USA.
Now that you mention it I wonder if Lucas made sure to only buy American ship models for making the Star Destroyers and Death Star?

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. 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.
