A significant force of B-2 Spirit stealth bombers looks to be currently wending its way to the Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia.
 
A significant force of B-2 Spirit stealth bombers looks to be currently wending its way to the Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia. Satellite imagery shows at least three C-17 cargo planes and 10 aerial refueling tankers forward-deployed in the last 48 hours to the highly strategic British territory, which has been used as a staging point for U.S. strikes in the Middle East on multiple occasions in the past. The build-up comes amid a new surge in U.S. strikes targeting the Houthis and growing warnings to Iran from the Trump administration over support for the Yemeni militants and Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.

The crews of two B-2 bombers, callsigns Pitch 11 and Pitch 14, could be heard communicating with air traffic controllers in Australia earlier today in publicly available audio. The crew of Pitch 11 confirms the presence of a third bomber, as well. The trio of bombers appears to have refueled in flight over Australia while heading westward.


A fourth B-2, callsign Pitch 13, landed at Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii yesterday after declaring an emergency in flight. Video subsequently emerged showing that aircraft being met on the ground by a crash truck, but the nature of the emergency remains unknown.

Loose lips...

I suspect the above is more secret than anything said in that call.  The movement of assets should be top secret, and media outlets should know not to publish this information.  I say take them to task, remove them from access to the White House and Pentagon, and any other source they are getting their info from.

And we are long overdue to level Iran.  They have been threatening the world with a nuclear device for 30 years.  Enough already.

And enough with the Yemen nonsense.  Take out their capitol with whoever is their current nut job leaders.

Is Trump going to annex Madagascar for its supply of vanilla and lemurs?

If there's anything Trump shoul acquire, it should be the Socotra Archipelago for its strategic location.

Had no idea where Socrata Archipeligo was located.  Had to look it up.

One of the major problems for SA listed is climate change.  Ugggh.  Just what we need, more land with climate change.

One thing the Trump Administration needs to do is bring scientists to the forefront to end the nonsense of climate change.  Money being squandered on all that must end.

Three B-2 bombers is NOT a mass...

THIS is a mass!

Everywhere has a problem with Climate Change.

The Socrata Archipeligo has location, location, location at the confluence of the Gulf of Aden, the Gulf of Arabia, and the Indian Ocean.

You can secure Freedom of Navigation and bomb Houthis, Somali Pirates, and Iran from one convenient location with little, to no, ground footprint in the region.

Better snatch it up before the Chinese Communist Party does.  It has potential to become the Guam of the Near East.
