Active Conflicts & News Megathread May 26, 2026
The r/CredibleDefense daily megathread is for asking questions and posting submissions that would not fit the criteria of our post submissions. As such, submissions are less stringently moderated, but we still do keep an elevated guideline for comments.
Comment guidelines:
Please do:
-
Be curious not judgmental, polite and civil,
-
Link to the article or source of information that you are referring to,
-
Clearly separate your opinion from what the source says. Minimize editorializing. Do not cherry pick facts to support a preferred narrative,
-
Read the articles before you comment, and comment on the content of the articles,
-
Post only credible information
-
Read our in depth rules https://reddit.com/r/CredibleDefense/wiki/rules
Please do not:
-
Use memes, emojis, swear, foul imagery, acronyms like LOL, LMAO, WTF,
-
Start fights with other commenters and make it personal,
-
Try to push narratives, fight for a cause in the comment section, nor try to ‘win the war,’
-
Engage in baseless speculation, fear mongering, or anxiety posting. Question asking is welcome and encouraged, but questions should focus on tangible issues and not groundless hypothetical scenarios. Before asking a question ask yourself ‘How likely is this thing to occur.’ Questions, like other kinds of comments, should be supported by evidence and must maintain the burden of credibility.
