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.

BREAKING: Trump proposes boarder wall around Strait of Hormuz, that Iran will pay for, to prevent illegal immigration.

You mean a cartel drug smuggler and definitely legitimate target of a doubletap strike?

OK I'm confused. Please tell me the USA are NOT claiming it as their territory?

... erm, actually please tell me are the US claiming the Strait of Hormuz as their territory or not?

edit: cheesus. Thanks for clarifying. I just can't take this unperson's direct quotes anymore.

He's been talking about it for a week or so and eventually posted an image of a map declaring the Strait of Hormuz a “new U.S. territory” on Tuesday...

Everything is American territory. We claim our own land, to an infinite height and depth at all angles. So, the universe.

Lot of territory. Explains the pentagon's budget

Oh, God no. That's almost all just embezzlement. Getting mocked repeatedly by Iran and not being able to do anything about it other than bluster and blow up innocent kids in school sort of points out how little of the US "war" budget goes to actual expenses.

We live in harsh times, people are at their limit and lashing out. I try to be understanding about stuff like that. But it does happen more than I'd like.

Being a territory doesn't give birthright citizenship though....

So even if the US were able to just claim it as a territory, that wouldn't mean anything for citizenship. The Constitution only applies to incorporated territories. The only incorporated US territory is the uninhabited Palmyra Atoll. PR, The US Virgin Islands, Guam, etc are all unincorporated territories. The Constitution doesn't apply to them.

The US territories that do have citizenship at birth are done so under federal law passed by Congress, not the 14th amendment. For example, people born in American Samoa are NOT US citizens. They are non-citizen US nationals. People born in PR, Guam, and the US Virgin Islands are citizens due to federal statutes passed.
