B-2 stealth bombers appear to be on the move hours before Trump expected at White House

Six B-2 stealth bombers from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri appear to be en route to a U.S. Air Force base in Guam, according to flight tracking data and voice communications with air traffic control.

The bombers apparently refueled after launching from Missouri, suggesting they launched without full fuel tanks due to a heavy onboard payload, which could be bunker-buster bombs.

The B-2 can carry two 15-ton bunker-buster bombs—which only the U.S. possesses. Experts say the bombs could be critical to targeting Iran’s most heavily fortified nuclear site: Fordow.

Tell Iran to give up their nukes and dismantle their missile and drone programs.

It appears as if they have been told that repeatedly already.

Yes, you’re correct. They would, IN THEORY, transport all the munitions to Diego Garcia, let the bombers fly over empty, and then load them there. But this is Trump we’re talking about. It’s all about the show. He wants Iran to think about this. I’m convinced that the whole build-up that’s been going on (All the transports flying East from the east coast, tankers flying to Diego, the carrier strike groups showing up “down the street” etc.) are all pressure tactics. They’re “Look what could happen if you don’t negotiate” messages.

Is that mucus on marcus's Iran Sock, or is he just glad to see Khamenei?

Wha happen to all the Ukraine posts? Has the trollink hand having writ, trolled on?

Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.”

Regarding other countries ... whether Russia, China, Pakistan, Venezuela, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, Boko Haram, or any number of other belligerent countries and non-state actors ... the way to ensure that they are emboldened is weakness. Weakness breeds contempt.

Biden and Democrats as a rule employ fuzzy logic, or the doctrine of ambiguity, thinking this preserves options. No. The Democrat approach results in war as eventually aggressors come to a line you actually cannot let them cross. If Trump had been re-elected in 2020, Russia would not have invaded Ukraine in 2022, and Iran wouldn’t have had the funds to supply Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis with rockets and missiles to attack Israel.

Having said these, keeping a safety valve open and offering fair terms in negotiation, viewing all countries as potential friends, these things are also important.

Finally, I will say we should hardly ever be in the business of re-building nations. That almost never works. You need to study why nation-building worked in a few places, such as West Germany and Japan after WWII, but only in a few places.

At the White House recently, the Chancellor of Germany thanked the United States for defeating the Nazis during WWII. Good for that guy! What other country looks at the country that beat it in a war as a liberator?

Maybe they are really a pair of old 747s painted black squawking B-2 idents and merely a sphincter tightening ruse.

I would be pretty confident that they solved for the nuke sites and how to destroy them.
Israel's plan for Fordow is probably cutting the electricity and blocking access tunnels and air vents. I would hope they've been targeting already.

You don’t recognize a troll when you see one?

Of course not, you’ve only been on FR since 2005.
