Look at how much it wore on obama and he wasnt already ancient. High stress, no sleep, and president responsibilities. Plus hes probably trying to keep everything straight of what he knows vs what we're allowed to know. In all fairness to him he shouldnt be there. Someone 30 years younger than him is still a bit older than a LOT of this thread

With how much the stealth features on the F-22 have been celebrated, could Raptors be used over Ukraine while maintaining plausible deniability about US involvement?

Even without a shootdown of a raptor or lightning, a sudden increase of unexplained shootdowns with no Ukrainian fighters nearby or reports from the pilots about a SAM launch would probably point very heavily to the only nations that have a strong deployed stealthy air superiority fighter contingent, the US and our allies wouldnt it? Or the possibility of tankers being seen linking up with raptors nearby airspace where planes are going missing would you really want to chance it? You may not see the f22 but the tanker? I wouldnt mess with that unless we were ready to get balls deep regardless of wether we were detected or not

Yeah il76s have been produced for decades for civilian and military operators, but the loss of 2 (or possibly 4) full crews is a completely different matter. They can probably scrap shiity plane to make the better planes run for decades, but i would guess that russia has a harder time keeping pilots in their military than the US does when you can walk out the door and grab a job with limited retraining and get paid way more than you can in the military. Ontop of that there are times when russia hasnt been ABLE to pay their military for months at a time. Thats not even getting into how many troopers went down with the planes or possibly more importantly with the logistics issues, the cargo that would have been dropped in alongside the troops.

Looks like the major center of Warhammer bootlegs besides China is no longer open.

For those that don’t know Dhaka Dhaka store and a bunch of the other Russian-based warhammer retailers just sell bootlegs 3-D printed. They’re actually not bad and I was thinking of getting one or two as a proxy, but I just didn’t have a feeling that shipping would be undisturbed, if you will, in the next month or so.

I get having a technical if your opposition is militia in t-shirts with rifles, but this seems like a good way to die against an enemy with real weaponry.

Older armored vehicles that russia uses to move their troops around can still be at risk from russian 50 cal. As we've seen anything that can run being used, I'm willing to venture a technical like this is still useful in ambushes when you're not engaging tanks

I just looked it up, at apparently something like 80+% of Ukrainians (at least, as of 2019) are Christian. Mostly Orthodox, unsurprisingly.

So what's the point of going there to evangelize?

Its the same as those fucks that go to college campuses yelling about fornicating and gay people. The cruelty and power trip are the point
