Presumably Barron Trump, having enlisted to support daddy's war, will be on hand for purposes of test runs. Ka-blooey.

... include information about the "highest threat level" that the bunkers could withstand, like blast force, fragmentation, or ballistic impact. The bunkers will be sent to the Aqaba Air Cargo Terminal at King Hussein International Airport in Aqaba, Jordan, according to the posting. ...

Oh, this ain't A Good Thing.

I thought Pres Trump said we had already won the Iran war?

A week notice for a tender for a 30 day delivery? You can't get a plywood shed from Home Depot for that.

Is the grift stealing oil for private interests or is it just more Trump/Epstein distraction that costs many lives, many of them American?

Anyone watching Ukraine and Russia knows this is a good idea. They should have been made available already.

Drones... once the boys are on the ground they will need these...

I mean, being inside one of these might prevent one from being picked up in pieces...but concussive waves from blasts have got to be devastating I would think? Unless they'd be buried and are meant for quick bunker construction?
