Air Force B-1B bombers just rolled up in Guam in a message to US adversaries

America’s premier long-range heavy bombers are back in Guarm, and they mean business.

Air Force B-1B Lancer bombers from the 28th Bomb Wing at Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota arrived at Andersen Air Force Base in Guam on Thursday as part of a mission with the core goal of “deterring potential adversaries and challenging their decision calculus,” the service announced in a press release.

The arrival of the undisclosed number of Lancers marks the second rotation to Guam this year following a Bomber Task Force (BTF) mission in June that saw four aircraft integrate with Japan Air Self-Defense Force and Royal Australian Air Force for multilateral training operations.

The new rotation will see the Lancers join “with more Allies” for several additional Indo-Pacific training missions to “provide key assurances and cooperation with joint and partner Allies in the region,” as 37th Bomb Squadron operations director Lt. Col. Daniel Mount put it in a statement.

Indeed, the BTF mission to Guam “demonstrates continued U.S. commitment to the Pacific,” said 28th Bomb Wing commander Col. Joseph Sheffield. “Not only does it provide our B-1 aircrew invaluable training opportunities with important Allies and partners, but it also signals our nation’s unwavering support to them.”

What crap. Unless the air defenses are annihilated these aircraft are just targets.

World War IV will provide a wonderful distraction from the crashing Democrat economy, the food shortages and the high prices on what little remains.

Not sure about that, once had 2 B1’s rock our CP by breaking sound barrier just a few hundred feet above us, it was awesome.

I was even funnier when a town a mile south of us (Oregon) heard the booms, didn’t know what they were and initiated their tsunami drill evacuating the town.

They aren't B-52's.

My brother was there when the B-52's left.   He got to go up in the control tower wo see the empty pads and said it gave him an eerie feeling.   He and his family spend two tours there bouncing between Hickam and Andersen.   I believe the second time he was the CBPO Chief.   I don't think that position exists now since all orders are automated and The Air Force no longer runs on "rips."

War with China will make Ukraine look like a game of patty cake. I got a bad feeling about this one.

And the message is, “Let’s have a gay pride parade and then kill some infants!”

Some TR-3Bs appeared over China today. Then magically cloaked again while departing. The video has been scrubbed - saw it in the brief time it was available.

During their big meeting.

Just sayin….

I hope Winnie the Pooh got the message.

Because of how seriously in trouble the democrats are this election They are going to try and start A-war probably a nuclear one with Russia.

Something wrong, unmistakably so in their last ditch effort to avoid being convicted of treason... by triggering a nuclear exchange with Russia.
Socialust commies never give up power without bloodshed.

A nuclear war would be the perfect pretext to bring in a man of peace to solve the worlds problems.
