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.

I am reminded of how the Spanish Civil war became a test bed for both German and Soviet concepts in military technology and combat tactics.

China and Russia have, I am sure, made large investments in defeating US stealth technology since Clinton bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade - and that was a long time ago.

Iran is a perfect location for them to try out some of their toys.

Now there is a thought... Or even heavy transports disguised by transponder ID.

Trying to change the subject, Marcus, in hopes the rest of us will forget all laughable propaganda you've posted here about the war in Ukraine?

I haven't forgotten. How's Ukraine doing at the present time?

It’s almost like they are advertising we are coming. The Internet started posting this like 12 hours ago. There must be a way we can mask the signature of special flights.

A few questions for you, Marcus:

Do you agree, Marcus, that we must pull all military resources from Ukraine and divert it Israel?

How much higher do you think oil prices are going to go if we get involved in the war in Iran? How billions in revenue will the mean for Russia?

Russia and China may well aid Iran indirectly (intelligence, technical assistance, weaponry, advice etc.) perhaps Pakistan to some extent, but none of them will get directly involved. Turkey will just make popcorn and watch the show, hoping for a Cats of Kilkenny finale.

Lots of OPSEC threats in this reporting. And they are the the same clowns that hammered Hegseth for his phone call.

“I think Trump is bluffing,” said Khamenei.

“How can you tell”? asked the newly installed IRGC commander.

“I can’t tell which is why I think,” says Khamenei.

President Trump is telegraphing to Iran that he is repositioning B-2 bombers to Guam so they can strike Iran if necessary without having to coordinate and get permission from the Starmer government in Great Britain and that Iran will not be getting updates from their buds int eh Starmer government.

Why don’t you want to talk about what’s happening in Ukraine anymore, Marcus?

So, like every other liar and propagandist, you can’t answer questions present to you?

Just a hypothesis, we’re probably bolstering the forces around Guam because we sent the USS Nimitz from that area over to the Middle East. It would make sense to rapidly deploy something with a lot of combat power into the area.

China never gets involved in a shooting war. China’s focus is on manufacturing which is #1 wealth creator. With the money made by selling manufactured goods, China is busy buying up land, factories and ports all over the world.
China owns land right here in USA near points of interest.

You burn a tremendous amount of fuel taking off and getting up to altitude, then it sips at cruise. It’s very normal to refuel here over the United States and start a long trip with a big load of fuel. Just a good opportunity.

Considering that Russia assisted in building Iran’s centrifuge plants and reactors, they’re already somewhat involved.
