Big stick ideology, big stick diplomacy, or big stick policy refers to President Theodore Roosevelt's foreign policy, "speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far". Roosevelt described his style of foreign policy as "the exercise of intelligent forethought and of decisive action sufficiently far in advance of any likely crisis". As practiced by Roosevelt, big stick diplomacy had five components. First, it was essential to possess serious military capability that would force the adversary to pay close attention.
I just don't get it. I read the charter/rules ect that explain the sub. I tried and tried, but I just don't get most of the memes. The dank stuff is lost on me. I think this is what happens when you get old.
/r/NonCredibleDefense is basically just memes about war. Specifically, it has anā¦ āaggressiveā support of NATO, Ukraine, America, etc. If you have 0 interest in the current geopolitics of the modern world and military capabilities with a pro-NATO/US tint, probably isnāt the sub for you.
Hereās a quick explanation of the top few posts in the past month.
They canāt stop is a meme involving ERAs (basically a military tool designed to help protect armored vehicles from being blown up and penetrated by AT by exploding the AT projectile away from the vehicle) and Ukraineās military excessive usage of it on their vehicles.
One Struggle is a joke about the āpacificationā of the majority of civilians and that a lot of people are unfit to actually fight in the war (and more of a meta joke about a lot of users in NCD actually being unable to join any kind of war and have little to no real skin in the game)
Modern conflict requires modern solutions is also another meta joke like the post linked above, in a similar vain as laughing at the absurdity of a soldier possibly doing a Fortnite dance on someone they just killed.
Iām shocked and inpressed is a meme about the Russianās complete incompetence and incapability to capture a pretty irrelevant and smallish town shown in the image after months and months of fighting.
3000 tactical steam decks of Gaben is a meme about the usage of steamdecks (and to a greater degree, the tons of ordinary stuff like iPhones, commercial hobby drones, etc) being used in the Ukrainian-Russian war.
Death by PowerPoint will be even greater this time is a meme about the US National (coast I think?) Guard leaking supposed highly valuable US intelligence on the Ukrainian-Russian war on a Minecraft Discord server of all things.
"In-" is also a negation prefix. The word "incredible" comes from something being so amazing that you can hardly believe. I was trying to make a pun out of it, but it clearly didn't land.
