IIRC, they did this in the 1950’s too. Also three B-52’s flew around the world non-stop in 1957.

A titanium rod from a sat would do the same... think of all the old decommissioned sats floating around... think they’re all really “junk?” /h

Cute....China is demonstrating ability to take out Satellites and Carriers, while we respond with 44 hour flights, by 60 yr. old bombers....
...all so they can comfort the MSM and the LIVs....

Yep. We can take care of perceived threats some 7,000 miles away. But actual threats on our borders? And in our cities?

Of course, they’d like get a start from Korea, Japan, Guam, Hawaii, NZ...etc., if an actual attack on China took place.

These are not 1952 bombers, these are more like
“the old dog” and are not to be trifled with.
Dale Brown reference...

Sending bombers in (without fighter cover?) to do the job missiles are built for is so last century.

Alternative interpretation:
Obama sends B52s against Australian allies.
Not so unbelievable when you think of it.

The B-52 is one of the greatest aircraft ever invented.

Nope. We showed them that we could engage in a nuclear exchange that would make them blind and deaf, while still having bombers floating around the next day that could swoop in and re-engage. Goodbye China.

We have the B-52s and 12 pilots left to fly all of them under Obama’s military. Perfect.
So by my count, our military consists of:
12 pilots
7 tanks
23 ships
300 Infantry
29 Marines
1 Nuke
That about it?

The B-52 has been serving, since before many of it's pilot’s were even born yet, I think.

Relying on B-52’s in a modern day war is the equivalent of using Sopwith Camels for air superiority during WWII.
