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.

Taken from the Reddit thread:
The Islamic Courts Union was an organization that came together as a result as a result of the chaos in Somalia in the 90s and early 2000s. As the name alludes to, they started out as religious courts, which banded together so they could stand up to warlords and enforce their rulings. Due to popular grassroots support they managed to wrest control of much of the country from the warlords, including the capital.
Unfortunately, this was not to the liking of Ethiopia, which worried that a strong Somalia would try to do Ogaden War 2: Islamist Boogaloo. So they invaded to remove the organization in favor of the official transitional government. They were supported by the US, since Ethiopia is a strategic partner and the ICU kind of looks like the Taliban if just skim the briefing (both were grass roots Islamist organizations that formed as a reaction to warlordism).
While the ICU was driven from Mogadishu and effectively shattered as an organization, the militant wing would reform as Al Shabaab, so it wasn’t exactly a win.
The coalition demolished the Islamic courts union, Somalia fell into anarchy, and Al-Shabaab (the local section of Al qaeda) took over half the country
What's the name of this meme format? I've been looking all over for it
Here It Comes / Tornado Strike is what comes up when I search for it. But that doesnt sound right.
Here it comes is the last shit he says before it hits in the video.
I meant tornado strike, should have clarified. Its a big dust devil at best.
Oh totally, it is big for a dust devil, but that's all it is.
