Curious about your opinion about moving US bases from Germany to Poland.

Mixed feelings. I have a real appreciation for Poland's devotion to Western Civilization, but once Trump is gone, I fear the US will attach strings to it, like allowing more of our poison culture (LGBT), and also demanding Poland take in more Muslim immigrants.

My team was on an inspection and got a hop on a KC-135 (from the 100 ARW at Mildenhall) to go from Ramstein to Mildenhall. A one hour flight {sung like Gilligan’s Island} a one hour, a one hour flight.

The aircraft reeked of JP-4, and my feet were freezing while my head was sweltering from the air blowers.

The crew chief and load master climbed up on some loaded pallets, threw their coats over the faces and went to sleep.

I knew something was up after about an hour and half. So I went forward to the pee tube next to the cockpit and asked the crew what was up. They said we were diverted to a refuel mission over the Adriatic in support of the no fly zone mission over Bosnia. This was in 1994/95? Right before IFOR went in on the ground.

So that one hour flight lasted 10 hours. Us passengers (my captain, myself (SMSgt), two TSgts and a SRA) on the plane had 1 large snickers bar between us. They did let us go back and watch the refueling. Anyway, we left at 1300; landed at RAF Mildenhall around 22:30. Lucky for us billeting didn’t give up our rooms!

Good times remembered!

It is uncertain where the story comes from a specific department or is actually military intelligence gained on the ground.

Given the recent and historical behavior of Putin’s Russia, I won’t give him any benefit of the doubt.

That goes double for people lying on his behalf.

True, I hope Poland’s leaders don’t sell out their people for Western (Globalist) cash.

Duda better win. The PiS isn’t perfect, but they beat the alternative.

Once Trump is gone, the first three years of the tribulation will start, and we’ll either be raptured before that, or in the middle of it, depending on whose interpretation of Revelation is correct....IF the LORD even waits THAT long. Pray without ceasing.

Spent some time working software on the old RC. Definitely more than meets the eye.

(Not that I ever found out ... things were very compartmentalized, and that’s a good thing)

New York Times, anonymous source and intelligence community.
That’s three red flags at once.
