    Isn’t the dowry supposed to go to the woman’s side? so Denmark will get Alaska instead.

      No, the dowry is the price the woman’s parents pay.

      Women were seen as a burden. So in order to make women more appealing to marry, the woman’s parents had to give a dowry.

      You’re thinking of a bride price, which is the opposite.

        Thanks for clearing that up, but in this case we know Barron will be the burden, so it’s Alaska or no deal!

            Let’s sweeten the pot with North Carolina too.

            Please?

              For the love of God. Please let Denmark have North Carolina. Speaking as someone from North Carolina.

        Women were seen as a burden.

        I think that’s oversimplifying it. On the Wikipedia article there is a discussion of dowry as a type of inheritance for women, even proposing that

        When families give dowry, they not only ensure their daughter’s economic security, they also “buy” the best possible husband for her, and son-in-law for themselves.

    He already looks inbred. He might even manage to fake it as a shit-smearing Habsburg.

      Now now, not even the Habsburgs were that bad.

    I’m pretty sure it should be the US paying to position Barron (sic) Trump.

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.
