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.

I'm a bit out of the loop, what did Henry Kissinger do?
Assuming this is in good faith.
Pretty much one of the worst pieces of shit to ever live, for which, he won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Anthony Bourdain said
What gets left out of this is how much he had to lie and scheme to do it all, which makes it worse to me. There's a lot to be said about the failings of the US military and general diplomacy throughout our history, but holy fuck.
That one guy is responsible for forcing (through deceit and other trickery) a big proportion of some of the worst atrocities our country has committed. He's seriously among the very worst people I can think of.
Fuck, I miss Anthony Bourdain.
Wow, what a piece of shit. And he won a Nobel peace prize??? Well deserved death.
No, he died peacefully of old old age. He did not get the death he deserved in a public square, drawn and quartered. I would also have settled for slow impalement.
Fun fact- the Khmer Rouge are still effectively in power in Cambodia. One of Pol Pots closest in command has been in power since forever and refuses to give it up, while gutting the country's economy for personal enrichment.
He used the world's strongest military to illegally invade, occupy, and slaughter some of the poorest people on the planet.
He played a leading role in multiple coups against democratically elected governments, replacing them with brutal violent dictators.
Millions died due to his war crimes, and he was proud of his work.
Run of the mill war crimes, sprinkled with genocide.
Just a little genocide, as a treat
The coups and innocent civilians tortured were just the side dish.
This may shed some light.
(Or maybe not, at least a bit of amusement)
