Report: In 1st, US refuelers to take part in major Israeli drill for strike on Iran
The Times of Israel ^ | May 17, 2022 | Emanuel Fabian

Posted on 05/23/2022 9:05:47 PM PDT by Angelino97

The United States will participate in Israel’s largescale drill simulating a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities as part of the broader Chariots of Fire exercise later this month, Channel 13 reported on Tuesday evening.

According to the unsourced report, the US Air Force will serve as a complementary force, with refueling planes drilling with Israeli fighter jets as they simulate entering Iranian territory and carrying out repeated strikes.

The unprecedented Israel- US aerial collaboration in a drill simulating a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities is seen as a potential message to Iran amid long-stalled negotiations in Vienna over a return to the 2015 nuclear deal, a possibility Israel has repeatedly voiced its objection to, warning it would lead to “a more violent, more volatile Middle East.”

Seems we're being dragged into yet another Mideast war.

Ukraine, Taiwan, Iran ... none are our problem. But the Neocons insist on making all of them our business.

The Uniparty wants to fight a war simultaneously with Russia and China and Iran at the same time while creating new enemies of Turkey, India and Saudi Arabia.

This is how great powers become formerly great powers.

I hope all goes as planned. Sometimes these country to country military drills have a strange habit of becoming real and serious security emergencies. All by accident, of course.

Equivalent to issuing a press release in 1944 that drills were going on for the invasion of Normandy France.

Good point—military drills have a lot of potential for mischief if there are some bad actors with hidden agendas.

The vast majority of participants in the drills all think they are just doing their job when in fact something else is actually happening.

Iran doesn’t have many friends. Soon they’ll have nukes. Nip in the bud time. Don’t know our involvement. Can’t we give Israel the tankers?

Notice that American foreign policy is to pick off the bad guys one at a time.

It never occurs to these “experts” that those “bad guys” might want to form an alliance to foil the plan.

"WARS AROUND THE WORLD!!!

The American military has been feminized, homosexualized
and sissified by the most corrupt, inept and "woke"
leadership in the history of the country. Thank Clinton,
Obama, Biden and the corrupt US Congress - Democrats
and REPUBLICANS! There are still good personnel in the
military but they are disappearing fast.

But our military is fully WOKE, so there shouldn’t be any problem.

Israel has no choice. Iran has repeatedly said they are going to wipe out Israel. They have to strike first. I’m happy I’m alive to see it.

Iran has been at war with America since 1979. Do you want them to get nukes and ICBMs? These lunatics use suicide bombers, send children armed with plastic keys to heaven to clear mines, and believe that their eschaton will only come after the region is purged by fire.

As for Taiwan, 77 years of relations say otherwise, comrade.

Our military should be so woke that all we need to do is send in the grief counselors and social workers , maybe have a drag queen reading hour and everything will be fine.

If Iran authorities are saying this, it is significant that the date of calamity happens to be on July 4th, 2022.
Everyone concerned with world events has to know the 4th of July is seen as America’s Birthday.

So, that tells me, they are expecting our country to somehow become involved in any such event to ‘destroy’ Israel.
Maybe they are daring Joe to directly get involved.
You can bet Israel has agents of Mosaad listening to everything the Ayatollahs have to proclaim right now.
