This is a quarter of the Air Force’s B-2 fleet. It’s not normal for them to be away from their home base in Missouri, even for training. I asked a friend who was a B-52 crew chief and he reached out to a friend of his who was a B-2 crew chief, and he said that this is unusual and hasn’t been seen since Afghanistan wound down. Combine this sighting with Trump’s tweet in which he threatens Iran, and I think this is foreshadowing imminent military conflict in the Middle East region.
I will be forced to admit I got played if it turns out Trump immediately launches a huge new war in the desert for Israel.
Hopefully Americans aren't dumb enough to follow him if he does.
The drums of war are already beating.
bruh. it's not like that exact scenario hasn't been voiced ad nauseam in the last year or so here. it's written in the stars (of david)
The problem with this is that all other US Airbases in Europe and the Middle East are extremely closer to Iran than Deigo Garcia.
This has to be something else, not just Iran.
Yes, closer to Iran ... and any other missile systems in the area. Being out in Deigo Garcia gives them a serious buffer from attack.
The distance is irrelevant when we have tankers to meet them along the way.
Fly over issues perhaps?
