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.
