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.

There shouldn't be any kind of "country first" ideology anyway. Trump and all the 1% need to be buried in a submarine along with all those other idiots that went before them.
They're always getting us to fight each other when it's really all them pulling the strings and causing wars--and we let them!
It's always himself first, if that's not obvious yet. He believes in absolutely nothing but is own delusion of being better than everybody in the world and deserving everything in the world.
There is an old UK TV show that this suddenly makes me think of : Only Fools and Horses, about a lovable market trader, Del Boy, always trying to find the next big deal to finally get rich, and always failing...
The keyword is lovable, though.
This time next year, Elon, we'll be quadrillionaires
I don't think this meme format works for this one, isn't it supposed to be a bro that genuinely did you a solid in an unexpected way?
The meme originally was used for someone who said they'd do something good and did something bad. For a while it was popular to reverse it and be funny by having it do something good, but most usages I've seen are like this one
Nah man this is Scumbag Steve he's the fuckin' worst
