Is anyone watching Biden's speech right now, and if so, is it just me in thinking that he doesn't sound great right now? Seemed like he's mushing/slurring some words together at points.

Edit: I'm not referring to/making fun of his longtime issues with stuttering.

I suspect he probably has gotten little to no sleep recently, so that’s is as likely a reason as anything else.

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

Oh yeah I think they’ve done comparisons of first year last year pictures of most of the recent present and you can see a tremendous amount of aging. Clinton, Bush, and Obama…well you know the actual two term presidents vs the last one term dork.

Wasn't conventional wisdom, before the start of the invasion, that the Javelins wouldn't be that useful?

There's also value in the sense that every T-80U that gets destroyed is more classified tech that Russia has to then go out of its way to recover or sanitize in a war zone. Pretty sure we wouldn't mind getting our hands on some ruined hulls for metallurgical analysis in exchange for guns and money.

And that assumes that the Russians will even bother doing that or the conscripts will give a poo poo.

The F-117 got got because we flew predictable routes and they used some clever jerry-rigged emitter setup that allowed them to triangulate the whereabouts of the jet (but not radiate long enough to eat a HARM) to launch a volley of SA-3s at him.

Supposedly a *second* F-117 got damaged *after* the 3/27/99 incident but was able to make it back to base.

I think it was also the profile against the moon if I’m remembering correctly. It didn’t help that the pilot was a total douche bag if I remember…Scott O’Grady dipshit and chud.

I mean if I’m not mistaken you can just shoot them…well with some due process. But wearing enemy uniforms in combat is a big no-no… well at least in terms of hoping to keep any good protections.
