They would not load those bombers up with those bunker busters like that, those would go by separate from military transport to Guam, and then would be loaded on the B2.

“If they do a mission and even 1 of the 6 goes down, Trump’s presidency will be ended.”

Really? Do you really think Trump’s presidency and his supporters are so fragile that a single B-2 lost would end it all??

Wow, you really haven’t been paying attention at all.

That’s exactly correct. They probably flew em in on a C-5 Galaxy.

It destroys any pretense of competence . . . and the stable genius thing.

The media will be FULL of the funerals and the questions of why why why did this have to happen when America is not at war.

About half the GOP Senate would be cheering too.

Yeah, it would end all capacity for defining agenda.

If one was shot down and the pilots were killed or captured.......and the Iranians sold the B-2 leftovers to Russia and China for studying then yes, his presidency would take a serious hit.

(So, 6 in Diego Garcia and 6 in Guam.)

Yes because having all 12 B-2’s in Guam together would disrupt its buoyancy and cause it to tip over.

It takes a real idiot to think it does that. You just have TDS real bad, just eagerly hoping something takes Trump down.

That’s never happened in the history of aviation.

The bombs could be delivered by other heavy aircraft to the final destination of the B2s prior to the attack.

Stop being naive! There’s always a first time. Remember when nobody thought our F-117A Nighthawk Stealth Attack Jet was shot down by the Yugoslavian Army in 1999? It happened. How about when the Iranians hacked into our batwing stealth drone and landed it when the Usurper was president? Nobody thought that would happen either.

Macho MAGA Man is not a child. You need to apologize! I do not hide from my fears. I have no fears. You need to realize that there’s always a possibility that a B-2 could be taken out, either by Iran or by mechanical failure.

The fainting couch is down the hall to your left. Don’t forget to clutch your pearls as you fall.
