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.
Trump also said back in September that he thought sanctions didn't work because they undermine the dollar. Said were losing Iran, Russia, china.
Well here we are throwing sanctions around, and now threatening a large war, which ironically is pushing people in Iran to believe they need the bomb since that appears the only way to deter Israel.
I hope to God Trump doesn't push forward and it's all a bunch of posturing. Hell completely ruin being the only president to not start a new war in our lifetimes.
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?
nuke warhead flyover issues 💀
Not every airbase everywhere is capable of supporting all types of aircraft though.
I hate this warmongering shit, but timing is important. B-2s out of the area were used in the Yemen strikes. And there's been talk of B-2s on Diego Garcia going back a week or two.
While a bad sign, this isn't necessarily a sign of future military action; these bombers are likely the ones used in Yemen.
According to OSINT, these came straight from Whitman AFB a few days ago. Plus I believe the Yemen strikes were done mostly by conventional aircraft.
Maybe they're still massing, but there were articles about this at least a week ago.

And, the thing about B-2s in Yemen was older, my bad. It was in the sidebar, but was from last year...because we're just constantly bombing the shit out of Yemen:
Questions Linger Over Australia’s Role In B-2 Spirit Strikes On Yemen (Again, last year, not current strikes)
You don't need stealth bombers to drop rocks on cavemen in Yemen.
Not sure if cavemen is an accurate description considering they single-handedly cut down traffic through the Suez Canal by more than 50% and regularly shoot down MQ-9 Reaper drones.
As the others have pointed out, not really cavemen. Showing them the big guns also sets an example for others to not fucking do that shit else we'll move the bombers your way next.
Yeah, well...MURICA.
As I linked, they were using B-2s to bomb Yemen last year too.
Cavemen who get heavy military weaponry from Iran and possibly other sources.
Cavemen who are now committing genocide on ethnic yemenis by doing exactly what the pakis are doing in england.
Yeah, they need to get turned into glowing glass.
Iran's hypersonic response will determine the outcome
We've got several likely Iranian intelligence officers or employees on this board. We could just ask them lol
"HEY, GOATFUCKER! LOOKS LIKE YOU GOT HERPES!" Like that?
This is probably the Thermidor deal Trump made. He will be allowed to cull the worst elements of the far left, like the trannies that are turning normies against the democrats. In return he delivers the military for Israel, which would be unlikely to follow Kamala and who are despised and resented by the democrat base.
The question remains if after four years of burning material in Putin's killing fields, is there anything left in the tank to do anything substantial in the middle east? More than likely Trump will do a big show of bombing and then try to cut a deal, while declaring victory.
