My comments on another thread ...

imo, this rapid exit is more serious than that.

For example, the bombers seemed to have been removed before the refueling planes were ready to accompany them.

iow, it looks like a scramble to get those bombers the f*** out of there. And quickly.

OK, if this was all just a routine security incident that led the US to remove the bombers from that RAF base, then the haste with which they were removed just handed the Iranians a significant PR upside.

Iran eventually may be crowing, ~hey, look what we caused to happen...~

But for now, Iran seems to be staying silent in their denials.

imo, more to develop here.

The Planes Left Before the Tankers Were Ready

... On Sunday the United States pulled every B-1 bomber off a British airfield and sent it home. Twelve of them, parked for seven months at Fairford in Gloucestershire, where they had been flying the war against Iran. The crews were ordered up so fast that the tankers meant to get them across the Atlantic were still being fueled when the bombers rolled. By Sunday night at least three had landed in South Dakota. The rest followed. A peacetime ally, a base we have used for decades, and the planes left in a day. ...

I remind people of Ukraine's successful assault on Russia's strategic bomber force

en.wikipedia.org

that was June 2025

and continues

Ukraine is quietly destroying Russia's irreplaceable bombers
Kyiv's intelligence services are undermining Moscow's ability to bombard Ukrainian cities and threaten Nato

This just more proof that our military is wholly and crimiinally negligent in preparing our military for modern warfare.

Instead of attacking transgender service people and doing pushups, perhaps our Dept. of Def should be redoing our whole military perspective

Running screaming in the dead of night is not a good look and indicative of a MAJOR problem

One would think that Congress would come back immediately and demand answers to this catastrophic situation

But

A U.S. Navy helicopter declared an emergency over the Red Sea near Saudi Arabia before disappearing from public flight tracking. The cause of the emergency has not been confirmed.

More Examples of Iran Maintaining the Strategic Initiative.

They are Waging Asymmetric War Brilliantly.

This will make History.

Oh so it is Iranian agents in Britain now? I've been promised it was just 4 Muslims trying to steal diesel.
