    NCD is easy to tell if it’s a joke. If it sounds like it’s out of a looney tunes episode or something that should be, (but isn’t yet) a war crime… Then they are completely serious. If they’re giving anything that sounds like credible analysis then they’re joking.

    As an example, advocating the use of “Rods from God”. Those are tungsten telephone poles accelerated towards the planet from orbit. They are not nuclear but you wouldn’t know the difference from the result.

    Versus soberly relaying that Western Anti Tank Missiles are having trouble tracking Russian tanks due to burner pots the tanks drag behind them.
