“I am trying to figure out the logic behind that thought? It would be extremely impractical and I’m pretty sure they would only load these on a bomber during the final leg and delivery of a mission”

No they are flying with the munitions as they are designed to do so. This is exactly why they tanked up after takeoff. Those are 30,000lbs each and they have two of them. It takes dedicated special lift loaders to load them into the bomb bay. And you would have to fly six C5 sized cargo planes across with those loaders and tanker support. Or just load the bombers before they left homebase and have tankers drag them and their F22s half way around the globe. Those F22s are not for show over the USA they are their CAP cover and tankers will drag them too.

I called it yesterday a flock of six B2 and 12 gbu57s that is exactly the mission that is being flown. I would bet good money they are not stopping in Guam they hit that target in the next 20 hours or so. It’s irrelevant if they know they are coming they cannot stop them and the F22s. Also makes sense from a stock market standpoint hit over the weekend when the market is closed and panic selling cannot happen.

Or8ginally, I thought you were fooled. Then I thought you were helping with the deception.

Now I know you were just blathering.
